Ride-hailing firm Uber is rolling out new Uber Boat services across six European tourist hotspots this summer.
Uber Yacht will arrive on the shores of Ibiza this August. This service will allow holidaymakers to pre-book a private yacht for the day directly via the Uber app. Departing from Ibiza Town Marina every day at 12pm, Uber Yacht will offer groups of up to 8 people the opportunity to sail around the white isle in a Sunseeker Yacht for €1,600.
Uber Yacht will be available to pre-book via Uber Reserve in Ibiza starting on July 26 and at least 24 hours in advance, with the product available during August.
Starting in July, Uber is launching a ‘Limo Boat’ on-demand in Venice to get around the Venetian Lagoon at the tap of a button. Priced from €120 per trip, the boat service can accommodate up to six people per trip and will be available to book on demand between 8am and 8pm each day.
Later in July, Uber Boat in Greece will expand from Mykonos to Athens, Corfu and Santorini. Available to book in the Uber app, the product will allow visitors to travel in style to beach clubs, visit scenic coves and reach remote locales.
This summer, Uber is also launching a new Uber Cruise service in Paris. The service offers a free one-hour private tour down the River Seine, with views of Notre Dame, the Louvre, and the Eiffel Tower.
Uber says these new travel products are being launched in response to the rising demand for Uber’s services in European tourist hotspots. Uber’s data from the summer of 2023 shows demand from international customers for the firm’s mobility services increased last year by up to 55 per cent in places like Greece and Spain.
Uber currently operates a fleet of hybrid high-speed passenger ferries on the Thames in London, UK.
