Executive car service from London to the Southampton International Boat Show

Full-day hire chauffeured event transport with our Mercedes E-Class or Mercedes V-Class.

WHO IS THIS FOR?
Crownwood Charters provides a pre-booked chauffeur service from London to the Southampton International Boat Show, for Premium Package ticket holders and exhibitors attending Mayflower Park.

Book an event transport to the boat show

No credit card required to send your request for quote. We will call or email you within 24 hours to confirm availability, discuss your requirements, and finalise your booking.

The show runs across ten days, at a venue built around boats, not car parks. A chauffeur collects you in London, delivers you to the show gate, and brings you home again, without a train change, a taxi rank, or a walk from a distant car park in between.

The Southampton International Boat Show 2026 runs from Friday 18 to Sunday 27 September at Mayflower Park, Southampton.

How the booking works

Full-day hire only. One dedicated chauffeur, from your London address to Mayflower Park and home again.
Available across all ten days of the show, including single-day visits and consecutive-day exhibitor attendance.
Multi-day bookings supported, with a consistently named chauffeur where the same days are booked in advance.
Multi-address collections for parties or exhibitor teams travelling from different London addresses.

Why Premium Package holders and exhibitors choose a private chauffeur over the train or a taxi app

London to Southampton is a two-hour-plus journey each way, and the show grounds sit some distance from the station. A pre-booked chauffeur removes every joint in that journey.

You hold a Premium Package ticket and want an arrival that matches it, not a platform change at Southampton Central.
You are exhibiting and need to arrive with samples, equipment, or documentation, on your schedule, not a train timetable.
You are attending across multiple days and want the same reliable journey each time, without re-booking transport daily.
You are travelling as a team and want one vehicle for the group, not several people arranging their own way down.
You want the two-hour-plus journey back to London to be a chance to work or rest, not stand on a platform.
