MANUFACTURER’S COMMENTS:
The Aura 51 marks the entry point into the world of luxury yachting and uninhibited pleasure...
At 15.54 metres long, it’s easy to see that the Aura 51 catamaran will be generous with space, because she can afford to be. Her hulls have a configuration flexibility that is rare a sailing catamaran of this size, offering the option of not one, but two owner’s cabins that each feature direct access from the stern. Her cockpit-saloon deck layout – which affords breathtaking views and can be completely opened up – is also a first.
With 2,000 watts generated by fully integrated solar panels, the Aura 51 is a shining example when it comes to renewable energy. Storage and management are handled by a dedicated panel for optimal day-to-day convenience. Her many features make onboard life even more enjoyable.
PRESS REVIEWS:
When a boat is your home, the space and comfort it provides become paramount plenty of which is on offer in the Aura 51 by Fountaine Pajot.
Step aboard the wide transom steps of the Aura 51 and I’d challenge even the most stubborn traditionalist or monohull enthusiast not to be in awe of the space and home comforts on offer. For those thinking of spending long periods of time or even living aboard, this is a definitive, modern, large production catamaran, one which – if you’re lucky enough to be in the market for such a substantial yacht – quickly gets you dreaming of a life afloat, with space to take friends, family and toys aplenty.
The Aura 51 is arguably the largest manageable size of catamaran before a professional crew is needed… The Aura 51 replaces the Saba 50, bringing more voluminous hulls and wider transom entrances. The new coachroof design integrates copious solar panels, brings more natural light and a larger flybridge area. The main bulkhead doors fully retract to give a 3m wide opening between saloon/galley and cockpit…
The cockpit can be fully enclosed with canopies… and the intelligent design allows these to be left mounted ready to deploy. This option can additionally offer some visual protection and security for when leaving the boat. The cockpit also features abundant stowage…
The helmstation works well with its large bench, wide enough for a couple (and dog!). There is room to pass between the wheel and the winch bench to the side deck or flybridge, yet they are close enough to work both areas…
The cockpit hosts the main dining area, but Berret Racoupeau design has really opened up the connection to the galley. The latter is huge, including a generous island that forms the heart of the social space as it might in a modern home. Long, large skylights work with all the coachroof windows to make it naturally bright and an opening forward window adds valuable ventilation.
