Fountaine Pajot AURA 51

Elected 2024 Boat of the Year!

Cruising World Magazine elected Fountaine Pajot AURA 51 "2024 Boat of the Year" in the Under 50' category!

Fountaine Pajot AURA 51 replaces SABA 50

Saba 50 was the largest Fountaine Pajot sailing catamaran that is easy to handle without a skipper. Almost 140 boats of this model have now been sailing all around the world.

The Aura51 is in the same vein, and offers 4 to 6 cabins. Announced in September 2020 by Fountaine Pajot shipyard, this 51 sailing catamaran has been launched in March 2022.

The Aura 51 brings a lot of innovative features, including a vast flybridge and generous living areas.

AURA 51: The future is now

In terms of sustainability, this yacht offers 1.600W of integrated solar panels, which is 4 times more than the SABA 50. The ambition of Fountaine Pajot shipyard is to provide sailors with sustainable power autonomy.

Functional space on board the AURA 51

The pilot seat and controls are installed by the entrance of the inside saloon for easy access. The saloon doors opening onto the cockpit are twice larger than the Saba's. Easy circulation through the fully open deck provides an in and out galley.

Protected by the wind screen, enjoy great convivial moments with up to 14 pax around the extended dinner table. The XXL Lounge deck adds another convivial space with seats and sunbeds.

You will also love the private entrance onto the Owner's Suite directly from the cockpit.

4 layouts to suit all sailing adventures

Whether you would like to circumnavigate with your family or friends or charter a  AURA 51, there is a version for your project.

• The Full Maestro version has an amazing owner's suite in the whole port side hull. The starboard hull offers 3 double cabins with bathrooms.
• The Double Maestro version has a big Owner's suite and another cabin on the port side, and the same on the starboard side. There are in total 4 cabins and 4 bathrooms.
• The Maestro 5 cabins offers an owner's suite and 4 double cabins, all with private bathrooms.
• The 6 cabins NEW 51 is perfect for charter use with 6 identical double cabins with bathrooms.

Whatever the version, all guest cabins have a Queen size bed facing the sea view and a private bathroom.

Sailing performance & Comfort at helm

With her mast and sails and her sail/weight ratio, the AURA 51 outperforms comparable cruising catamarans and provides smooth sailing.

She features a mast forward, supported by a strong laminated bulkhead. Her accessible boom allows better performance, is safe and easy to maintain.

This sailing catamaran has a well balanced rigging and powerful mainsail and genoa.

The mid high helm station is perfect for a family boat, as it allows to communicate easily with both the Lounge Deck and the cockpit/saloon.
