Uber takes to the water in Croatia and launches Uberboat
Since June 26, tourists and locals have been able to order a speedboat ride with the touch of a button in the Uber app.
Uberboat in Croatia is the first service of its kind to be available throughout the summer via the Uber app. The service expands the existing mobility options on land with another on the water and offers tourists and locals alike a new way to explore the coast and islands of Croatia.
According to the announcement, two different options are being offered at the launch of Uberboat. With the first option, users can order an on-demand trip from Split or Divulje (Split airport) to Hvar and vice versa for a fixed price of 380 francs. In addition, Uber users can also opt for a larger XL boat for up to twelve people at a fixed price of CHF 470.
With the second option, travelers have the opportunity to experience a full or half-day boat trip to the nearby islands. The trips depart from Split, Hvar and Dubrovnik. The prices for the so-called "adventure option" depend on the distance and duration of the boat trip. A full day starts at 1000 francs. Travelers determine their own itinerary. The boat is at their disposal for the whole day - whether they want to visit the famous Blue Grotto, swim in the sea or hop from island to island. With this option, the boat trip ends where it started at the beginning of the day.
As with the Uber app, passengers can split the fare equally between themselves at the touch of a button.
