Fountaine Pajot Aura 51 Vienna

Fountaine Pajot Aura 51 luxury crewed yacht

 

 

 

Fountaine Pajot Aura 51 – Vienna

Vienna is brand new for the 2023 season and she is the first Fountaine Pajot Aura 51 Catamaran to be available for luxury crewed yacht charter in the BVI. The Aura 51 is the most modern catamaran design available today, exquisitely and innovatively designed by the Beret Racoupeau design group and built by Fountaine Pajot – one of the largest and most renowned French catamaran builders in the world.

 

Vienna – The Concept

A five-star luxury sailing yacht that moves through beautiful seascapes so that you never tire of the views. Intimate and immaculate en suite accommodation, contemporary French design, an abundance of comfortable spaces throughout to kick back and relax, all the water toys you could wish for, and al fresco dining with full-service breakfast, lunch and dinner. This is Vienna …

 

Vienna – The Space

Vienna has over 3000 sq. ft of living space across three levels above and below decks. With four en suite staterooms, accommodating up to 8 guests – all with TV, stereo and air conditioning – the accommodation would rate a solid 5 on Tripadvisor. The saloon has a centre island dividing the galley on the port side from the dining table on the starboard side. There is also a lounge seat and chaise longue in the saloon – perfect for reading or having a morning coffee.

 

Fountaine Pajot Aura 51 Vienna – Above Decks

The saloon opens completely and seamlessly to the cockpit for picture-perfect dining around the large cockpit table and cockpit seating for fifteen or more. A few steps up to the helm position brings you to the large lounge area on the bridge deck where the generous social seating arrangement and a sunbathing deck provide a fabulous location from which to take in the surrounding tropical beauty – cocktail or coffee in hand.

 

Aft of the cockpit, wide transom steps and transom ladders give easy access to the cobalt Caribbean waters. There is also a ‘tender lift’- a platform between the two hull transoms that doubles as storage for the dinghy and a submersible dive and swim platform when lowered. Moving forward along the expansive and open side decks gives access to the foredeck seating area and bow trampolines – a great spot from which to catch up on chat with friends or immerse yourself in a good read.

 

Tranquillity or Adrenaline or Both.

With a meticulous eye for detail, the Austrian owner has loaded Vienna with every conceivable option aboard and added an array of watersports equipment that would keep the most ardent enthusiast entertained. Everything is at your disposal from adrenaline-fueled sports like kiting, wing foiling, water skiing, and wakeboarding to biking, paddleboarding, kayaking, drift diving or snorkelling!

 

However, this luxury catamaran is just as much about providing respite from the daily grind if getting off the grid and relaxing aboard under sail or ashore in tranquil bays is more your style.

 

If you love relaxing on a beach, reading a book or just watching the world go by, without a worry in the world, if you dream of swimming in crystal clear water and feeling the fine dernier sand between your toes as you marvel at the iridescent colours of the juvenile damsel fish, then Vienna is for you.

 

Whether you want to “learn the ropes” of sailing, learn a knot, learn a lot, take the helm or leave the sailing to the well-qualified captain and crew, the choice is yours.

 

Vienna – The Cuisine

Vegan? Vegetarian? Pescatarian? Omnivore? Tea total or wine connoisseur? Caffeine-free or caffeine required!  A preference for freshly ground beans –   Italian, Ethiopian, Columbian? Freshly squeezed orange juice or shaken not stirred martini? Just let the crew know.

 

Talk directly with the chef before your trip and discuss your dietary preferences and requirements, the chef will incorporate your favourite ingredients, flavours and dishes with a twist throughout the menus. If you want to taste local fresh fruits with a stack of pancakes, or ‘Full English’ at breakfast, or indulge in local favourites like barbequed lobster and Red Snapper Creole in the evening, just let Chef know.

 

You can choose to eat aboard on a ‘full board’ or ‘half board’ plan or anywhere in between – simply discuss the options for eating ashore with the crew, and the itinerary (and rate) will be customised so you eat where you want and when you want, weather permitting (which it generally does!).

 

Have we forgotten something? Then give our Crewed Yacht Manager, Kayleigh a call. Born in the BVI to British parents who both worked in the BVI marine industry, Kayleigh’s background in the catering and marine industries means you are in exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced hands!

Fountaine Pajot Aura 51 ‘Vienna’ (2022) 'Vienna' Your Crew

Crew Profiles:

Pieter has been involved in sailing for the past 22 years. His sailing skills were honed sailing along the east and west coasts of South Africa, notorious for its unpredictable weather. He spent most of his time racing his own sailing yacht around the cans as well as offshore regattas from his home base at Royal Cape Yacht Club in Cape Town. He has experience in sailing both monohulls and catamarans on extended passages, including a passage with Theresa across the Atlantic Ocean. All of these events have provided him with a wealth of stories and knowledge which he loves to share with guests. Although he has sailed most of the Windward Islands, the British Virgin Islands is their favorite place to be. He is looking forward to showing your clients the beauty of the islands and experience what they have to offer.

Theresa’s style is offering fresh, nutritious food while enjoying tropical island cuisine. Her attention to detail and complimentary fuss-free spin on old favorites will have you asking for the recipe in no time! Theresa has traveled the world during her time working on the Queen Elizabeth II Cruise Ship and thus incorporates all different cultures and cuisines into her menu. She is comfortable with all dietary needs and will tailor menus for all requirements.

They have been sailing together for the past 15 years, sharing their passion for adventure and the sea. They have sailed the whole South African coastline including Cape Point, notorious for its stormy weather. They crossed the Atlantic Ocean on their 44ft monohull on an unforgettable journey. Since then they have spent most of this time exploring the Caribbean islands. Their experiences have helped them to make people, even first-time charter guests, feel at ease and at home on their boat helping everyone relax and make the most of their time on board.

They look forward to welcoming all walks of life onboard!

The Sands Family , 27 December '23 - 3 January '24

This was our first BVI charter as a family and having a crew to handle everything made it so special. Pieter and Theresa did an amazing job and their suggestions on every port to visit and where to eat great lobster (Potter’s!) just made the trip very memorable. Will definitely be back to do it again!

Highlights were NYE at Saba Rock, Jost Van Dyke and The Baths!

We look forward to seeing you both again.

Wow! What a great week! Loved the boat, and you kept it so immaculate. The snorkeling in Anegada was the best we’ve ever done!

Vienna Guest Review, Christmas 2022, BVI

Valentina and Simone, thank you so much for accompanying us in this familiar reunion!
It was actually amazing!

Thanks for making our stay so good.

We have sailed, swam, eaten delicious food, played board, admired sunset, listen to music.
What else you can ask for? Locations we have dreamed of, Valentina and Simone spectacular, it was a wonderful idea to spend the last day of the year sailing with the family and to have the new year’s eve at sea.

Thanks for making this dream come true. I will treasure these days in my heart.

I wish you all the best for the new year!
