Ride Share on Austin’s Waterways

What is happening? The “Uber for boats” has arrived in Austin, TX. Meet Lake Hop, a boat sharing service.

Why is this important? Lake Hop says it is safer than rentals since inexperienced people will not be driving the boats. Instead, boat owners will serve as hosts.

How will this be important? Lake Hop says passengers can ‘lake like a local’ with a host while boat owners can easily monetize the use of their boats,”
