Fountaine Pajot Aura 51

Aura 51  – Supreme comfort & sustainability

The Fountaine Pajot Aura 51 represents a significant milestone in the evolution of Fountaine Pajot’s sailing catamaran range, showcasing the shipyard’s commitment to environmental responsibility.

The deck of the Berret-Racoupeau designed Aura 51 has been completely redesigned, marking a new era for the Fountaine Pajot shipyard, and providing even greater space and comfort. As the largest yacht in the range without a full flybridge, the 51 is a true sailor catamaran with a low and sleek profile.

High capacity renewable energy

An ambition of the Foutaine Pajot shipyard is to provide sailors with sustainable power autonomy. With this in mind, the Aura 51 was designed to incorporate a large surface area of solar panels, seamlessly integrated into the flybridge’s sleek design. This innovative approach enables the generation of 2000 Watts of renewable energy, a staggering five times more than similar yachts equipped with solar panels, making the Aura 51 a true pioneer in sustainable cruising.

Further, the Fountaine Pajot 51 is available as a hybrid Smart Electric version, pairing  advanced energy management technologies with an innovative electric propulsion system.

Uniquely designed comfort

The flybridge offers a comfortable raised helm station and vast lounge area with plush wrap-around bench seating and a forward sunbathing area perfect for catching rays or night time star gazing.

Another innovation aboard the Aura 51 is the extra-wide opening between the salon and the aft cockpit – facilitating service and communication from the galley. A sizable kitchen island provides ample workspace for the cook and serves to separate the galley from the living area. 

The aft cockpit is open and welcoming with a large table and L-shaped cushioned sofa capable of seating 10 guests. Additional bench seating and day bed lounger are perfect for socializing in shaded comfort. The aft hydraulic tender lift serves dual purpose as a swim platform.

The sweeping salon offers nearly 7-ft of headroom near the entrance, and boasts an abundance of natural light with large windows on three sides and two rows of skylights. The finishes throughout are a clean and modern blend of warm neutrals with white cabinets and counters. Modern sofas and bench seating create a home-like welcoming atmosphere.

The Fountaine Pajot Aura 51 provides a choice of 4 different cabin configurations. The 4-cabin Maestro with 1 or 2 owner’s suites, the 5-cabin Maestro with 1 massive owner’s suite in the port hull, or a 6-cabin version. Each cabin has its own ensuite bath, including the 6-cabin version – a first on the catamaran market for a 51-foot model.

I had been thinking for a few years about buying a catamaran, after numerous rentals, so I went to the Grand Pavois and met Gerry Jacob at the Dream Yacht Charter stand. He explained to me perfectly the advantages of the different rental management/boat sales contracts, and I signed for an Astrea 42 the same day. Since then, everything has gone according to plan, I’m delighted and can’t recommend the company enough!

I want to express my thanks and appreciation to your team. I was able to observe how professional and courteous each and every one of your team was to my wife and I – along with the other charter customers getting ready to depart for their sailing adventures. I also want to say thanks for taking good care of our boat. It has been an active winter and spring charter season for our boat and it still looks brand new and well cared after by your maintenance crew.

From identifying the correct vessel and arranging finance to organizing surveys and negotiating pre-sale repairs with the seller, you handled everything, while keeping me fully informed and feeling like everything was in hand. Over a year in and I’m still happy.

I’ve just come back from my Owner stay in Belize from the Placencia base with my family. It’s a base where I met staff who knew the whole fleet, and did their utmost to keep the equipment in good condition. The atmosphere is very family-oriented, and Yoan and Georges are very helpful, attentive and friendly. Georges knows all his boats by heart. We had a catamaran in very good condition and the pre-departure briefing on everything technical was detailed as never before. Yoan runs the base as if it were his own business, everything for DY, and that’s very rare.

We recently bought a catamaran, and as new sailors, we did not realize the magnitude of how complex it would be. Not only did they make the whole process seamless, they made it educational and enjoyable. They mentored us and were adamant in making sure we were informed every step of the way. We’re deeply grateful for their help.
