Uber's introduction of private chartered boats in Mykonos, Greece is indeed an interesting expansion of their services. It provides a unique opportunity for travelers to explore the beautiful Greek islands in a convenient and hassle-free manner.
With the option to book a private chartered boat through the Uber app, users can enjoy personalized and luxurious experiences while sailing around the scenic waters of Mykonos.
This addition to Uber's services reflects their commitment to expanding their offerings beyond traditional land-based transportation.
At Uber’s third annual Go-GET product event held in May 2023 in New York City, the company announced that it’ll soon launch boat travel in Greece, giving vacationers — and boat lovers — the opportunity to book a boat directly via the Uber app.
The boating option will allow up to eight people to cruise to destinations around the Greek island of Mykonos. While Mykonos is the first supported destination for the service, it may soon be extended to other Greek islands as well.
Available from mid-June to October, 'Boat' will be an on-demand service operated by a local licensed operator and available through the Uber app. The local operator will provide services locally, sub-licensing Uber technology.
Uber has launched boat products before including the brief "Boat To Work" in San Francisco in 2013 and more recently, Uber Boat in London for commuters.
But Uber says that Uber Boat in Mykonos is unique because it’s a private charter for the customer and their guests. And unlike Uber Boat in London, it’s not owned by a third party.
So pack your bags for an epic summer adventure, and experience a new side of Uber-cool Greece with Uber Boat. Have you been to Mykonos before?
