Relaxed on the beach: tourists in an Uber water taxi.

To the water! International car service provider Uber is expanding into the Mediterranean. Uber has announced that it will soon expand its “sea passenger transportation” service, which has been tried and tested in the US and UK, to resort areas in the Mediterranean. Uber launches on the Greek resort island of Mykonos. If the project is well received by tourists, it should start soon in Mallorca. It says “Magazine-Magazine”.

The offer works similarly to Uber taxis. Customers can use the Uber app to find and reserve a nearby boat. The application provides information about the location, arrival time and price of the nearest boat, allowing users to plan their trips in detail.

hopes for tourism

The project got off to a good start in Mykonos, according to Uber. The tech company formed partnerships with local boat owners and built a small fleet. According to the company, Uber’s new offering on the water offers several benefits. On the one hand, it offers passengers an alternative and environmentally friendly means of transportation in touristic coastal areas.
