Uber is taking things to the water with Uber Boat. The concept is taking off in places like Croatia, Mumbai and a few select US cities.

Mumbai is the newest city to get onboard with Uber Boats since India’s cities have some of the worst traffic in the world. Rides start at $80 for a six or eight-seat boat and can climb to $132 for an Uber XL boat fitting up to 10 people.
