July 1 (Reuters) - Uber Technologies ( UBER ) said on

Monday it will bring a yacht service to Ibiza and will introduce

different water-transport offerings to other European cities in

an effort to address the robust demand stemming from tourism in

the continent.

The service named "Uber Yacht" will be available to pre-book

on the Spanish island of Ibiza from July 26, and will be made

available in August.

Starting in July, Uber ( UBER ) will also launch a "limo boat"

service in Venice, Italy, the ride-hailing platform said. The

service will allow customers to travel around the Venetian

Lagoon.

According to Uber ( UBER ), data from the summer of 2023 shows demand

from international customers for Uber's ( UBER ) mobility services

increased by about 55% last year in places such as Greece and

Spain.

"Uber Boat" in Greece will expand from Mykonos, where it

was lauched last year, to Athens, Corfu and Santorini and will

let visitors travel to beach clubs and reach remote locales, the

company said.

In May, Uber ( UBER ) had also unveiled a tie-up to offer cruises on

the Seine River in a bid to meet explosive demand stemming from

the upcoming Olympics in Paris.
