Hampton Court Flower Show Boat Shuttle: Kingston, Hampton & Richmond Boat Hire: Turk Launches

New Southern Belle during the flower showFor over 15 years Turk Launches has been operating a shuttle service between Hampton Court Station and the Flower Show's Thames entrance. We also stop at the entrance on our scheduled trips throughout the week.

Why endure the hassle of driving and queuing at the car park when you can meet a boat at Kingston, Richmond or Hampton Court Station and sail directly to the entrance of the show?

Have a look through the tabs below to find out about the services
we operate during the Flower Show Week - we hope to see you there!  

 

We operate a fleet of 5-6 vessels. Our fleet operates continuously from 8.30am until the Show closes, ensuring you arrive at the Show having enjoyed a relaxing short cruise on one of the most attractive spots on the Thames and affording a unique view of Hampton Court Palace en route.

This service runs every day of the event and operates throughout the day saving you a 20 min walk each way for only £2.00 per sailing. Tickets are sold next to the station, and outside the show, by our uniformed staff.
Exclusive sailings will be operating on Monday 4th July during the Gala Preview Night from Hampton Court Railway Station to the Gala entrance. Ferries will be operating from 5.30pm until approximately 8.30pm (The Gala Night starts at 6.00pm). Return sailings will start again from approximately 9.30pm and continue until approximately 12.30am to ensure you arrive at the station in time for the last train.
There is also a season ticket available allowing unlimited use of the shuttle service throughout the week for £8.00 per person. These are sold in advance so please contact the office on 020 8546 2434.
 Turk Launches also operates a daily service from Richmond and Kingston that stops at the entrance of the Flower Show.
