AURA 51 – Performance Cruising & Advanced Fishing Adventure Catamaran

Aura 51 is a modern performance cruising catamaran, combining generous space, comfort, and offshore capability. Designed for extended cruising and adventure-oriented charters, she offers a refined yet capable platform for anglers and ocean lovers seeking both relaxed living and access to exceptional fishing grounds across the Indian Ocean.

More than a classic sailing catamaran, Aura 51 has been configured to support fishing-focused itineraries, allowing guests to explore remote waters, target pristine fishing zones, and experience the Seychelles from a unique offshore perspective.

Designed for Offshore Stability, Range & Fishing Operations

Built by Fountaine Pajot, Aura 51 represents the latest generation of cruising catamarans, engineered for stability, efficiency, and long-distance navigation. Her twin-hull design ensures reduced roll, excellent weight distribution, and safe movement on deck, even during active fishing sessions or extended offshore passages.

The catamaran’s sailing efficiency and fuel autonomy make it possible to reach remote and less-visited fishing areas, far beyond standard day-charter routes. When conditions allow, longer-range expeditions toward outer islands and remote atolls such as Farquhar can be planned, offering access to untouched fishing grounds known for their exceptional biodiversity and low fishing pressure.

Permanently based in the Seychelles, Aura 51 operates throughout the inner islands while remaining capable of extended offshore legs, opening the door to exclusive fishing missions and tailor-made adventure itineraries.

Accommodation – Comfort for Long Fishing Expeditions

Aura 51 accommodates up to 8 guests in 4 spacious en-suite cabins, making her perfectly suited for multi-day fishing expeditions and long-range cruising. The owner’s master cabin features a large private bathroom, desk area, and excellent sound insulation, ideal for rest between sessions.

Three additional guest cabins, each with private en-suite facilities, provide comfort and privacy for anglers and guests alike. Large hull windows flood the cabins with natural light, while generous storage allows safe stowage of fishing equipment, personal gear, and long-expedition supplies.

Interior – A Relaxed Base Between Fishing Sessions

The interior spaces are designed as a comfortable base camp at sea. The main salon offers panoramic visibility, allowing constant monitoring of weather, sea conditions, and fishing activity. The dining area and lounge provide a welcoming environment for reviewing the day’s action, planning the next session, or simply unwinding after hours on the water.

The fully equipped modern galley supports extended stays offshore, enabling high-quality meals during remote expeditions where no shore facilities are available. This level of autonomy is essential for serious fishing journeys far from populated areas.

Outdoor Living – A Catamaran Designed for Fishing & Action

Aura 51’s outdoor areas are a key asset for fishing-focused charters. The wide aft cockpit serves as the primary working zone, offering ample space for preparing tackle, handling rods, and managing catches while remaining protected from the sun.

The flybridge provides an elevated vantage point, ideal for spotting surface activity, bait schools, and pelagic predators during trolling or active searches. Forward deck areas allow additional casting space, gear organization, and relaxation between sessions, with direct and safe access to the water for swimming or quick resets after fishing.

Fishing Capabilities & Access to Exclusive Grounds

While Aura 51 maintains the elegance of a cruising catamaran, she is fully capable of supporting serious light-tackle and sport fishing programs. Trolling, jigging, and coastal fishing can be conducted directly from the catamaran, taking advantage of her stability and deck space.

The onboard dinghy significantly expands fishing possibilities, allowing access to shallow flats, reef edges, and secluded zones unreachable by larger vessels. This flexibility is essential for targeting species in untouched environments.

With experienced guidance and favorable conditions, Aura 51 opens the door to exclusive fishing destinations such as Farquhar, a legendary atoll renowned for its pristine flats, powerful GT populations, and remote offshore fishing. These expeditions are designed for anglers seeking rare encounters and authentic fishing adventures far from conventional routes.

Technology, Autonomy & Responsible Fishing

Aura 51 is equipped with modern navigation systems, efficient energy management, and optional solar solutions, ensuring extended autonomy during remote fishing expeditions. Fresh water production and onboard systems support long stays offshore with minimal environmental impact.

Fishing activities are conducted with a strong focus on responsible practices, respecting local regulations, marine ecosystems, and sustainable catch-and-release principles whenever possible.

Ideal For

Aura 51 is ideal for anglers seeking exclusive fishing grounds, offshore adventure charters, and long-range cruising combined with comfort and space. She is perfectly suited for small groups, families, or experienced fishermen looking to access remote zones such as Farquhar while enjoying the refined lifestyle of a modern performance catamaran.
