London to Southampton: Door-to-Show Transfers

The show draws visitors from across the country, including many from London, the Home Counties and the South East. Our London to Southampton service follows the M3, leaving at a time that avoids the worst of the traffic and arriving at Mayflower Park well before your plans for the day begin. Tolls and parking are included in the fixed fare, and the return can be booked for any time during or after the show.

Marine Industry and Corporate Hospitality Transfers

The Boat Show is also a major trade event, attracting boat builders, brokers, engineers and international buyers attending launches and hospitality aboard exhibitors' boats. We coordinate transport for corporate groups and trade delegations, managing several cars, timing transfers around private events and arranging airport connections for international buyers arriving at Heathrow, Gatwick or Southampton Airport.

Multi-Day Boat Show Packages

The show runs for around ten days, and many trade visitors and enthusiasts attend more than once. Our multi-day packages give you the same car and chauffeur throughout, so there is nothing to rebook each morning. Packages include flexible departure times, return journeys at any agreed hour and parking.

Clear Pricing and Our Best Price Promise

Every quote is fully inclusive, with no hidden motorway or parking charges added afterwards. If you find a comparable premium chauffeur service for the same Southampton transfer at a lower price, we will refund 100% of the difference. We also drive clients to the London Boat Show at ExCeL and other marine industry events.
