Pre-book a Lymington taxi from the town, railway stations, marinas, hotels and Isle of Wight ferry terminal. Our door-to-door service is designed for planned local connections and longer journeys where luggage, sailing times or early departures make an allocated vehicle important.
We connect Lymington with Southampton Airport, Bournemouth Airport, London airports and Southampton cruise terminals. MPVs can be reserved for ferry passengers, sailing parties, families and visitors staying around the southern New Forest coast.
The Isle of Wight ferry at Lymington
Wightlink's car and foot ferry to Yarmouth leaves from Lymington Pier, next to Lymington Pier station. We meet foot passengers off the boat, take travellers down to the pier in time for a sailing, and track delays to the crossing so the pickup moves with the ferry.
Lymington Town station, a short walk from the high street, is on the branch line to Brockenhurst, where trains connect to London Waterloo.
Marinas, the coast and the southern forest
Lymington is a sailing town, with busy marinas along the river, and many of our journeys are for crews and yacht owners with bags and kit. We also cover Pennington, Milford on Sea, Keyhaven, Sway and Boldre, and the southern edge of the New Forest.
Which airport from Lymington?
Bournemouth Airport is usually the nearest for holiday flights, and Southampton Airport is about 45 minutes away for Dublin, Belfast, Edinburgh and the Channel Islands.
