About This Yacht

Aura 51 catamaran charter Rhodes opens the Dodecanese aboard a 2023 Fountaine Pajot flagship, crewed and rigged for slow, sunlit island time. Fifteen metres of sailing catamaran. Four en-suite cabins. A sky lounge on the top deck that few yachts her size carry. She sits in Rhodes New Marina and cruises the eastern Aegean from there.

The Aura 51 is Fountaine Pajot’s larger cruising catamaran, built in 2023. Under charter she runs with a crew of two — a long-standing team who handle the sailing, the galley and the day’s plan. Guests step aboard and let the itinerary come to them.

The sky lounge sets her apart

The raised helm sits beside the sky lounge, with all lines led to electric winches.

Her signature is the flybridge sky lounge: a raised deck with helm, sunpads and a wraparound settee under open sky. Three hundred and sixty degrees of horizon. It is the yacht’s best seat for a sail, a sundowner or a night under the stars, and it is what guests remember.

Below, the design is all volume and light. LOA 15.54 m. Beam 8.23 m. Draught 1.22 m. The shoal draught reads the shallow Dodecanese bays that keep deeper yachts offshore, and the wide beam turns into deck: a full-width cockpit aft, trampolines forward, and a saloon glazed on every side.

Aura 51 catamaran charter Rhodes, from the New Marina

Rhodes sits at the south-east corner of the Aegean, a natural base for the Dodecanese and the Turkish coast beyond. From the marina the run opens to Symi’s ochre harbour, the hot springs of Kos, the empty anchorages of Tilos and Chalki, and the medieval Old Town of Rhodes itself.

The crew shapes each day to wind and appetite. A morning under sail. Lunch at anchor over clear sand. An afternoon on the Seabobs, then the tender ashore for dinner at a harbour taverna. Aquinox arranges boat-in dining at kitchens that sit at the water’s edge and hold the table for your arrival.

Cabins and accommodation

The owner cabin: a full double berth with private companionway and generous stowage.

Four double cabins sleep eight, each with a private en-suite and separate shower. All are fully air-conditioned. The saloon and galley run on one level with the cockpit, and the forward sky lounge adds a second living space above. A watermaker, generator, inverter and ice maker keep her independent at anchor; Wi-Fi runs throughout.

Tenders and water toys

She carries a rigid tender with outboard for transfers, two Seabobs, a Scubajet and stand-up paddleboards, plus full snorkelling kit. Everything launches from the broad aft steps in minutes.

Season, and what the rate covers

Rhodes opens in late April and runs to the end of October. July and August bring the meltemi and the busiest quays; June and September hold the same water temperature with room to anchor. The weekly rate covers the yacht and her crew of two. Food, drink, fuel, harbour dues away from Rhodes New Marina and any transit fees are settled through an advance provisioning allowance, usually thirty per cent of the charter fee and reconciled against receipts at the end of the week. Tell the crew what you want to eat before you board and they will provision to it.

Planning an Aura 51 catamaran charter Rhodes

Rhodes sits at the bottom of the Dodecanese, so an Aura 51 catamaran charter Rhodes can run north to Symi and Nisyros or east into the Turkish bays around Marmaris and Datca. The old harbour is 10 minutes from the marina, which makes the first and last night easy.

Most weeks start with a short hop to Symi for the evening, then push on to Tilos or Nisyros. An Aura 51 catamaran charter Rhodes in June or September gets the best of it. Steady wind in the afternoon, flat water in the morning. That is when an Aura 51 catamaran charter Rhodes shows its best side.

On board an Aura 51 catamaran charter Rhodes

The 51 is a flybridge boat, so there is a second outdoor living space above the cockpit. An Aura 51 catamaran charter Rhodes works well for groups who want to spread out, with sunbeds forward, a shaded lounge aft and a proper table for meals. An Aura 51 catamaran charter Rhodes suits 2 families sharing.

Below, the saloon sits on one level with the cockpit and the galley faces the dining table. An Aura 51 catamaran charter Rhodes is offered with crew, so provisioning and the daily route are arranged before you step aboard. An Aura 51 catamaran charter Rhodes can also be run one way towards Kos.
