Uber recently made an announcement regarding the launch of a seasonal private charter boat service called “Boat” on the Greek island of Mykonos.
This new service will be available from mid-June to October and will operate as an on-demand service through the Uber app. A licensed local operator will provide the service, leveraging Uber’s technology under a sub-licensing agreement.
Through the Uber app, users will have the convenience of booking speedboat tours with just a few taps, allowing them to easily navigate and explore the beautiful island of Mykonos. The introduction of “Boat” aims to offer both Greek and foreign visitors a unique and reliable alternative transportation solution, enabling them to discover the best beaches and spots on the island.
Greece is the first country in Europe to see the launch of Uber’s boat service. The company’s decision to choose Greece for this new offering reflects its strong commitment to the country and its desire to assist local operators in capitalizing on the significant opportunities presented by domestic and international tourism.
Uber is dedicated to supporting local businesses through innovative approaches, and it continues to expand its collaboration with local partners to provide transportation services through its platform. The introduction of this groundbreaking service on the Uber app aligns with the expected record levels of tourism in Greece this year.
Uber initially expanded to Greece in 2014, and with the introduction of “Boat,” it further demonstrates its commitment to the Greek market and its ongoing efforts to offer diverse and convenient transportation options to users.
