Universal Yachting

Universal Yachting, formed in 2007, was appointed as the UK distributor for Dufour Yachts in 2015. Based in the Solent, the company provides a comprehensive range of services for boat owners across the UK and the Mediterranean. Their expertise covers everything from assisting newcomers to preparing experienced sailors for long distance blue water adventures.

The company operates a sailing school that delivers bespoke tuition and a full range of RYA qualifications. Beyond training, they offer professional guidance on purchasing options, along with dedicated maintenance and charter packages. This approach is designed to simplify yacht ownership and maximize cruising time for their clients.

Led by Chris Warwick, the team draws on years of first-hand experience in charter management and owner care programmes. They maintain a high standard of cleanliness and technical service across their fleet, employing only professionally trained skippers. Their goal remains making sailing accessible and enjoyable for all experience levels within the sheltered waters of the Solent.
