Chris Warwick - We are very proud to have had the opportunity to join the Dufour Yachts network for UK. The dealership agreement was signed a few monthes ago with the Dufour Sales Director, Pierre-François Lepoutre, who was looking for a distributor really involved in the brand. The Dufour brand is very powerfull and legendary around the globe, and it was important for us to participate to its successfull story.

We already benefit of a very attractive range, including the Grand Large models and the new Exclusive range, of the very active UK Dufour Owner's Club, and of the strong support of the shipyard. On this Southampton Boat Show, the Universal Yachting team is very proud to expose the Dufour 350 and the Dufour 412, consisting in the last models launched by the shipyard.
