2024 Fountaine Pajot Aura 51 Catamaran

The 2024 Fountaine Pajot Aura 51 is a five-cabin, five-head catamaran built for extended cruising and charter work. Powered by twin Volvo D2-75 diesel engines with 1,060 hours, the yacht combines comfort with self-sufficiency. The beam of 26.42 feet provides exceptional interior volume and deck space for a cat of this size.

The Maestro layout distributes five cabins throughout the twin hulls with full en-suite heads in each. The galley is fully equipped, and living spaces include a large saloon and generous cockpit. Accommodations feature beds with slatted bases, cabin curtains, and LED courtesy lighting throughout. Air conditioning, heating, pressurized seawater, and five electric heads support full-time living or charter operations.

Power management reflects world-cruising intent. A 1,650-amp lithium battery bank with dual 3,000-watt Victron inverter-chargers pairs with a 2,000-watt integrated solar system. A Northern Lights 12kw generator (195 hours) and shore power connections—including a European adapter plug—enable operation across different electrical standards globally. An Aquabase 12V water maker provides freshwater independence. An upgraded 85-pound Mantus anchor with 300 feet of chain and a Plastimo Transocean life raft round out the seagoing systems.

Navigation and entertainment include Garmin smart cruising systems with dual GPS, autopilot, radar, dual VHF radios with AIS at two helm stations, and a Fusion Bluetooth audio package upgraded with Bose speakers. The Aura 51 carries a full complement of safety gear, spares, tools, two paddleboards, two Sublues, and a floating trampoline. The boat runs on less than one season of use.
