When the Chauffeur Meets the Chopper – A VIP Transfer on the Isle of Wight

Every chauffeur job has its own story — but this one? It came with blades, a Bose speaker, and a rain-soaked field in Cowes.

Our assignment: meet a VIP client arriving by helicopter on the Isle of Wight, deliver them to the Isle of Wight Yacht Club, and remain on standby for a seamless return journey. With so many moving parts — ferry timetables, unpredictable weather, and aviation logistics — the planning began long before the wheels hit the road.

Despite what’s been a gloriously dry summer, the skies opened up just in time for our arrival. Waiting patiently with wipers at the ready and the Bose speaker providing some smooth background sound, our chauffeur watched the aircraft land like it was something out of a movie. And to be honest, it sort of was.

Not Your Average Transfer

VIP bookings like this are rare gems in the chauffeur world. They take skill, timing, communication — and a flair for adapting on the fly (pun intended). But these are the jobs we love: they break routine, bring a buzz of excitement, and remind us why we do what we do.

Once landed, our client stepped into the calm, climate-controlled interior of one of our premium vehicles. From there, it was a short journey to the Isle of Wight Yacht Club, a favoured location for elite visitors and international guests alike. The return later that day was just as smooth — a final reminder that with Plus Chauffeurs, luxury is always on standby.

Experience Beyond the Norm

While the image of a chauffeur might conjure airport runs or cruise terminal transfers (and we’re brilliant at both), experiences like this showcase the range of what Plus Chauffeurs offers. Whether your guests are flying in on commercial airliners or touching down in a private helicopter, we have the expertise, local knowledge, and professionalism to manage it all.
