Uber to Introduce Helicopter Taxi Services Along Italy's Amalfi Coast This Summer Season
Get ready to travel in style this summer on Italy's Amalfi Coast! Uber is stepping up its game with the launch of new helicopter and boat services.
Starting July 26th, you'll be able to hop on Uber Copter for a speedy ride from Sorrento to Capri every weekend until August 23rd. Departing at 9am every Saturday and Sunday, these helicopter rides will take you to the beautiful island of Capri, with return flights to Sorrento at 5pm [1].
The best part? This luxurious transfer won't break the bank, setting you back €250 per person for a round trip. And the cherry on top? You'll get door-to-door transportation with no need for extra hassle [1].
But that's not all, Uber is also offering boat rides for groups of up to 12 people. From July 26th to August 24th, you can hop aboard the stylish Gozzo 35 motorboats and cruise your way to the picturesque town of Positano aboard Uber Boat [1].
Both services can be booked via the Uber app, making your travel planning stress-free [1]. It's important to note that bookings for Uber Copter will open on June 25th and trips must be booked at least 48 hours in advance [1].
Uber introduced these services as part of its "Go Anywhere" program, catering to the growing demand for alternative mobility options on the Amalfi Coast [1]. With the recent opening of the Salerno Costa d’Amalfi Airport, Uber anticipates a record number of tourists this summer, making these services even more convenient [1].
Although these services are designed to enhance your travel experience, they come with a price. The cost for Uber Boat charters isn't specifically detailed yet, but the Uber Yacht experience in Ibiza last year cost €1,600 [2]. Keep an eye out for any promotional offers that Uber might introduce.
Imagine cruising along the Amalfi Coast in a boat or soaring over it in a helicopter - it's a unique travel experience that's hard to resist! With Uber's new services, Italy is fast becoming one of the most popular tourist destinations, offering stress-free travel options to tourists [3].
