 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Connected with Jiri trough boatsetter website. Jiri was quick to respond and very flexible to accommodate you. We were given clear instructions and there were no surprises. I was given a quick run through of boat and he answers any questions we had. We had a wonderful time out on the water and Jiri even offered to extend us at a great rate if we needed more time. Look forward to renting again.
