Johnsons Coaches and Hovertravel are celebrating a long partnership after the Isle of Wight hovercraft operator completed its one hundredth Hovercraft Experience flight.

Hovertravel provides a unique flight across the Solent for coach operators to visit the many attractions on the Isle of Wight. Hovercraft Experience Flight customers have their own private charter, complete with pilot commentary during demonstrations of the hovercraft’s capabilities and a detailed explanation of how the craft works.

Johnsons was onboard for Hovertravel’s inaugural Hovercraft Experience Flight, and the coach operator also joined the company’s one hundredth special experience.

Barry Cobb, Tours Manager, Johnsons Coaches, explains: “We were delighted to be in at the beginning with Hovertravel and to also be part of this significant milestone too. These trips are hugely popular and we always get great feedback from our customers on how much they enjoy the day. Here’s to the next 100!”

Patrick Sowerbutts, Partnerships & Development Manager at Hovertravel, adds: “Working with Johnsons Coaches was an important ambition for our coach programme, and to count them as our one hundredth demonstrates that we have built successful and sustainable relationships within the coach market. When we create our partnerships, we consider them in terms of decades, and we look forward to welcoming many more Johnsons customers onboard our hovercraft.”
