More Uber products hit the waters
Uber recently announced even more water offerings which will feature at some of Europe’s popular tourist destinations this year. Uber Boat, which has already been established in London, Uber Cruise and Uber Yacht will be hitting the water this nothern summer season, in response to rising demand for Uber’s services in tourist hotspots around Europe.

A boat, a cruise and a yacht
Uber Boat, which arrived in Mykonos earlier this month, will now expand to Athens, Corfu and Santorini. The boat is available to book on the app, with the company noting that the product will allow visitors to travel in style to beach clubs, visit scenic coves and reach remote locales. Minimum fares start from around €200 (R3 973).
Uber Cruise will launch in Paris this summer, allowing visitors to jump onboard an all-electric boat to enjoy a free one-hour private tour down the river Seine. Priced from €120 (around R2 360) per trip, the boat service can accommodate up to six people per trip.
Their final offering, Yacht, will then arrive in Ibiza in August and will offer groups of up to eight people cruises around the island in a Sunseeker Yacht for €1 600 (around R31 480).
Each eight-hour trip comes with a personal skipper, a complimentary bottle of champagne and locally sourced artisanal snacks.
