At Ban Tours Yachting, several factors set us apart in the Charter Market: ✅ Exclusive Partnership with Dufour Sailing Yachts: For 15 years, we've focused solely on Dufour Sailing Yachts. ✅ Private Fleet Ownership: Unlike other charter services, our entire fleet is privately owned, ensuring consistent quality and service standards. ✅ Unrivaled Quality Assurance: Our commitment to quality is unparalleled. During our 5-month winter service period, each yacht undergoes a rigorous 9-stage maintenance process to ensure optimal performance for the upcoming sailing season. ✅ Custom Upgrades: Our skilled technical team performs unique upgrades on all our yachts, often surpassing factory standards. For example, we fabricate custom bimini frames with thicker materials for enhanced durability. ✅ Continuous Investment: We continuously invest in our fleet to provide the best possible experience for our clients. Here are some examples of our dedication to excellence: 1️⃣ Custom Bimini Frames: We manufacture bimini frames with thicker materials to ensure longevity. 2️⃣ Ongoing Refurbishments: Even our oldest models, built in 2017, undergo comprehensive refurbishments, including engine sea water cooling system upgrades and new bimini & sprayhood installations. 3️⃣ Collaboration with Dufour: Our partnership extends beyond mere ownership. Dufour shipyard representatives visit us annually to witness firsthand the improvements we make to their yachts. In some cases, our innovations have been integrated into their production processes. One example would be valves with different materials on their Dufour 530 Grand Large. 4️⃣ Comprehensive Safety Standards: All our yachts are equipped with certified fire extinguishers, first aid kits, life jackets, Proxxon toolboxes, and essential spare parts to ensure safety and peace of mind for our clients. (Replacement parts to be found on board: fuses, impeller, belt, oil filter, fuel filter, and pre-fuel filter.) 5️⃣ Pioneers in Virtual Fleet Showcase: We were the first charter company to offer a virtual 3D walk-through of our entire fleet, allowing clients to explore every yacht from the comfort of their homes.
