You generally won't find this anywhere, as carrying passengers for money on a boat technically requires a captain's license.

The “Mount” is a great big one! It will take you anywhere you want to go as long as anywhere is on it’s route.

I saw an ad in the paper for this service. I seem to recall that they offer a water taxi service. Probably the closest thing to Uber that you will find on the lake.

There are some places in the world you can get boat transportation with Uber but I don't know if we'll ever see it on the lake:
https://www.uber.com/cities/split/ https://www.uber.com/tr/blog/uberboat/ A Water Taxi service was tried in 2002 but didn't last long. |

I actually used that taxi service once. I do see Uber service being totally lucrative as the boats are being used for pleasure anyway and not a dedicated business expense.
