Universal Yachting expands as UK’s main Dufour dealer

Hamble-based Universal Yachting is expanding its sales operation for Dufour Yachts, adding the UK’s east coast, Wales, the north west including the lake district as well as the Channel Islands to its existing responsibilities along the south and south east coast.

Chris Warwick, owner of Universal Yachting explains: “We are delighted to be taking on these new regions and being able to offer Dufour Yachts to more sailors across the UK. As part of our expansion plans, we are developing a network of sales and technical partners able to support owners both during and after their purchase.”    

Announcing the first stages of the new network is a Universal Yachting-owned brokerage office in Yarmouth Harbour on the Isle of Wight, managed by Roy Heeley. Selling a range of quality used boats, this office is also ideally placed in one of the most popular destinations on the Solent for anyone wanting more information about Dufour Yachts.

In addition, David Morris Boats on the east coast has been appointed to act as Dufour agent for new boats alongside its long-established yacht brokerage businesses in Tollesbury and Titchmarsh marinas.
