Unlike other enterprises,Windsor Duck Tours always puts safety first

A common misconception in their vehicles and manufacturing business here is that they operate WW2 DUKWs, in fact, their vehicles are all specially manufactured. After leaving the UK factory, amphibious vehicles must meet both land and water safety standards, evaluated by the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), respectively. In addition, to ensure their passenger safety certificates, they undergo an MCA survey every June and complete an MCA assessment every 6 months. For roadside items, they conduct a regular maintenance inspection (PMI) every 10 weeks and an annual MOT, both of which are conducted at authorized testing sites. In addition, they run a 23-point checklist every day before the vehicle goes on any of their planned trips! Their Mark 3 vehicles are larger than those operating in Windsor and can accommodate up to 40 people. As pioneers in this niche market, they always believe that it outperforms any vehicle currently in operation in terms of safety and design.

Why is this company different from any other DUCK TOUR? Firstly, family values are the core of their business because they are a family-owned enterprise and local friends and family often use this car here. If they suspect it is unsafe, they will never let anyone participate in the tour. They do not use the old WW2 VESSELS, unlike vehicles used in London, Liverpool, or the United States, they use specially manufactured vehicles instead of the modified 1940s World War II vehicles you may have seen in the media. The purpose is to protect the safety of customers. Their new specialized amphibious vessel was built in 2010, with the sole purpose of carrying cute customers! As the vehicles here are amphibians, they must comply with both road and water regulations. To get more technical, their Seahorse Amphibious MKII has several sealed foam-filled buoyancy compartments and three other waterproof compartments. This means that if you want to flood the side of the vehicle with water, it will continue to float due to the three waterproof compartments, although they prefer to keep their feet dry, so they do not plan to do anything like this.

Always monitor river conditions.

In Windsor, the depth of the river is between 6 and 8 feet, and their vehicles need 5 feet to operate within it. There can't be big waves on this section of the river. They will continue to monitor the speed and condition of the river on a daily basis, and monitor it hourly when needed to determine whether it is safe to travel on the river.
