Croatia’s mainland finally got a permanent connection to its islands. Fans of the coastline and the many tourists can use the connection whenever they want, without the fuss of cruise timetables.

The new UberBOAT service is at a non-stop disposal in Split, Dubrovnik and the island of Hvar, and you can request it through just a few clicks in the Uber app. The service offers transfer to a destination and back, and a half-day or full-day trip that passengers can plan for themselves.

If they sail out of Split,tourists can get a trip around the beautiful islands of Hvar, Biševo (with its Blue Cave), Šolta, Drvenik, Vis, Brač and its unique Zlatni Rat beach... The boat captain will stay with the passengers for as long as they want, allowing them enough time to visit the islands, sample the local cuisine and buy souvenirs.

In the area surrounding Dubrovnik, Uber captains will take tourists to the Elafiti islands and their ancient forests, Mljet, the magical Korčula, and Lastovo, whose unique beauty is sure to make them want to return.

Every trip ends at the point of departure, while fares will depend on boat size, mileage and duration of the adventure. An eight-passenger speedboat starts at HRK330, each additional kilometer will cost HRK29, and each minute will cost HRK2.60. A bigger boat will cost HRK 660 to start and another HRK 36 per kilometer and HRK 3.30 per minute.

UberBOAT’s other service allows for a simple and fast transfer to a destination and back. A Split-to-Hvar trip will cost HRK 2,600 for an eight-person speedboat, or HRK 3,300 for a 12-person speedboat. All Uber captains have valid licenses and are familiar with the Croatian coastline.
