HOVERTRAVEL, the fastest Isle of Wight passenger service across the Solent, teamed up with the Hovershow 2010 to carry passengers from Southsea and Ryde to the Hovercraft Museum in Lee-on-the-Solent.
On Saturday 15 May 2010, the Hovercraft museum opened for Hover fans all afternoon and evening as part of a campaign to attract more visitors. The museum lit up their wide range of hovercraft for the first time ever with the event continuing past dusk until 10pm.
Warwick Jacobs, one of the Hovercraft Museum’s trustees said: “Hovertravel provided an excellent service for those travelling to the museum. We welcomed record numbers of enthusiasts and their families. As the longest operating commercial hovercraft service and the only passenger service offering a special charter to our show, we were delighted that Hovertravel helped so many of our visitors to arrive on an operating hovercraft.”
