Those undertaking the annual mid-year migration to Europe will be pleased to hear that Uber Boat is rolling out across the continent’s most popular destinations — including the rideshare company‘s most luxurious product yet (yes, even more so than Uber Copter).
The headliner is Uber Yacht, which arrives on the shores of the international party capital Ibiza this August. Departing from the town’s marina every day at 12 PM, for the extremely reason price of €1,600 ($2,600), this eight-hour experience entails the following on a Sunseeker Yacht:
- 1 x personal skipper (who you can also pester with the usual “Busy night, mate?” while absolutely buckled)
- 1 x complimentary bottle of champagne w/ locally sourced artisanal snacks
- 1 x day to remember for you and up to seven other guests

True to form, transfers both to and from anywhere on the island are included; and while it won’t officially set sail until August, as previously mentioned, an Uber Yacht in Ibiza will be available to pre-book via Uber Reserve starting from July 26th — minimum notice period: 24 hours.
Over in Venice, from July onwards, you’ll be able to book an Uber Limo Boat to navigate the iconic lagoon. Available to book on-demand each day between 8 AM and 8 PM, it’ll accommodate up to six passengers per trip and only set you back €120 ($190).
Later in the same month, keep an eye out for Uber Boat in Greece, which covers Mykonos to Athens, Corfu, and Santorini; a handy way to hit the beach clubs, scenic coves, and remote locales.
And finally, in the city of love that is Paris, Uber Cruise will offer a free one-hour private tour down the newly-cleaned river Seine aboard an all-electric boat (bubbly included). Certainly not the worst way to take in the sights, i.e. Notre Dame, Le Louvre, and of course, the Eiffel Tower. Especially given the usual foot traffic is expected to increase 100-fold during the forthcoming Olympic Games.

“These new travel products are launching in response to rising demand for Uber’s services in tourist hotspots around Europe,” the company noted in the press release.
“More than 6.5 million international customers used the Uber app in Europe’s most popular destinations last summer, with over 800,000 people opening the Uber app in the past 12 months in Ibiza alone.”
Uber Yacht, Uber Cruise, and other Uber Boat trips will be limited and subject to weather conditions. Find out more below.
