2022 Fountaine Pajot Aura 51 Catamaran

The 2022 Fountaine Pajot Aura 51 is a 51-foot sailing catamaran designed for comfortable cruising and light charter work. Built in fiberglass with a 26.5-foot beam, she pairs twin 150-horsepower Volvo diesel engines with a full sail plan including a 95-square-meter mainsail with full battens and a 59-square-meter genoa, managed by electric winches and a PROFURL furler. The catamaran is configured in the Maestro layout with five cabins and five en-suite heads, offering substantial accommodation across an owner's suite and four guest cabins.

The owner's cabin features an island bed, TV and DVD player, a locking safe, extensive storage, and a private en-suite bathroom with shower. All guest cabins include island beds, bedside shelves, and dedicated bathrooms with separate Plexiglass-enclosed showers. The galley opens to the outside via a sliding bay and houses professional-grade equipment: a four-burner stainless steel hob, gas oven, two sinks, and 280 liters of cold storage. The main salon spans the full width with panoramic views, while the expansive aft cockpit features teak decking, an integrated gas plancha, a dining table with eight-seat surround, and a serving hatch to the galley. A flybridge above provides helm seating, sun loungers, and lounge space. Air conditioning throughout, LED lighting, and a 5-kilogram washing machine are standard.

Power and systems are comprehensive. A newly installed 11-kilowatt genset, 2-kilowatt solar array, and dual inverter-chargers manage electrical needs. Fresh water capacity is 900 liters, with a watermaker producing 180 liters per hour. Navigation and communication equipment includes twin Garmin chartplotters, autopilot, dual VHF stations with AIS, radar, and Fusion audio throughout.

A Highfield 360 tender with 25-horsepower Honda outboard comes aboard on electric davits. Included water sports equipment encompasses two standup paddleboards, kneeboard, snorkeling gear, and floating lounges. The mooring package provides an electric windlass, additional cleats, and six fenders. An MP10 life raft, first aid kit, and emergency grab bag complete the safety provisions.
