A closer look

The Aft Deck Welcome
The expansive aft deck serves as a grand entrance and a cherished gathering point. Imagine the scent of salt air mingling with the aroma of a freshly brewed morning coffee as the sun rises over the Californian coastline. Later, it transforms into an elegant al fresco dining area, where laughter and conversation flow freely under a canopy of stars, perhaps accompanied by a subtle sea breeze.

Main Saloon Elegance
The main saloon is a sanctuary of refined comfort. Natural light streams through generous windows, illuminating bespoke furnishings and Douglas Sharp's thoughtful design. Here, guests can retreat with a book, engage in lively conversation, or enjoy a film on the integrated TV system. It’s a space designed for both quiet contemplation and convivial evenings, seamlessly blending sophistication with a relaxed coastal sensibility.

Owner's Retreat
The primary cabin offers a sophisticated haven, boasting a private Jacuzzi for indulgent relaxation. This spacious suite is a testament to privacy and comfort, providing a tranquil escape from the day's adventures. Imagine soaking in warm, bubbling waters as the yacht gently sways, offering moments of profound calm before drifting into a restful sleep, ready for another day of exploration.

Sun Deck Panorama
Ascend to the sun deck, where panoramic views of the West Coast unfold. Plush sun pads invite languid afternoons spent basking in the warmth, perhaps with a refreshing drink from the ice maker close at hand. The on-deck Jacuzzi beckons for a restorative dip, offering an elevated perspective of the surrounding seascape while the sun loungers provide the perfect vantage point for spotting marine life.

Culinary Command Centre
The galley, though unseen by guests, is the heart of AURORA's culinary excellence. Equipped with modern appliances, it’s where the chef crafts bespoke menus tailored to every preference, including special dietary requirements. The aroma of a freshly prepared meal, perhaps from the BBQ, often wafts gently through the air, hinting at the exquisite dining experiences to come.
Accommodation
AURORA provides accommodation for up to twelve guests across six meticulously appointed cabins, each a private retreat. The layout ensures comfort and privacy for all on board. The primary cabin, a spacious haven, features its own private Jacuzzi, offering an exclusive sanctuary for relaxation. Additional guest cabins are designed with understated elegance, providing serene spaces to unwind after a day of coastal exploration, ensuring every guest enjoys a restful night's sleep in complete comfort, ready for the adventures ahead.



Culinary experiences aboard AURORA are tailored to individual tastes. The chef crafts bespoke menus, accommodating all special dietary requests with creativity and flair. Imagine fresh, locally sourced ingredients transformed into exquisite dishes, served al fresco on the aft deck under a starlit sky, or in the elegant main saloon. The BBQ offers a relaxed option for grilled fare, while the onboard coffee machine ensures a perfect start to each morning.
Wellness on AURORA is an inherent part of the experience. The primary cabin features a private Jacuzzi, offering moments of secluded rejuvenation. On the sun deck, an additional Jacuzzi provides an invigorating soak with panoramic views. For deeper relaxation, the steam room offers a soothing warmth, while the expansive sun pads and loungers invite tranquil afternoons of basking in the gentle sea breeze.
The ocean is your playground with AURORA's extensive collection of water toys. Explore hidden coves by kayak or canoe, or feel the thrill of skimming across the waves on a stand-up Jet Ski or Waverunner. For group fun, the towable tube promises exhilarating rides. A dedicated swim platform provides effortless access to the water, inviting spontaneous dips and endless aquatic adventures along the stunning West Coast.

AURORA: your questions, answered

What a yacht like AURORA costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on AURORA is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 46m yacht in this class is a five-year commitment — crew payroll, insurance, class and refit reserves, berthing and depreciation. Our yacht ownership vs charter vs fractional ownership study runs the real five-year cost of a €15 million yacht against the equivalent charter spend, and the most profitable yachts for owners ranking shows how much of that stack charter revenue actually recovers.
