AURELIA

AURELIA is a new sailing catamaran shaped around the way a crewed charter in Greek waters tends to unfold: unhurried mornings in the open air, a swim before lunch, a quiet anchorage as the light softens. Her twin hulls give a wide, steady platform, so moving between the cockpit, the foredeck and the saloon feels natural even when the breeze freshens. Large windows wrap the saloon and keep the sea in view from indoors, while air conditioning keeps the interior cool after a day in the sun. She suits a family or a group of friends who want room to spread out without formality.

Below decks, every cabin is a double with its own ensuite bathroom, giving each guest a private place to retreat to at the end of the day. The interior is light and fresh, with gentle colours and soft lighting that make the cabins feel calm rather than showy. Practical comforts are quietly taken care of: a water maker and generator keep life aboard independent of the quay, an ice maker keeps drinks properly cold, and there is a hairdryer for evenings ashore. The overall impression is of a yacht that has been arranged with care for ease of living.

Much of the day is spent in or on the water, and AURELIA makes that simple. Her hydraulic aft bathing platform lowers to sea level, so stepping in for a swim or launching the toys takes no effort at all. Guests can range along the shore on the Seabob or Sea Scooter, explore quietly by Paddleboard, or take turns on the water skis for adults and children. Snorkeling equipment opens up the clear shallows of a cove, and a Fishing rod is aboard for the patient. A deck shower rinses off the salt, and elastic bands suit anyone keeping up a routine.

Her experienced crew look after the sailing and the running of the yacht, leaving guests free to decide how each day should feel, whether that means a longer passage between islands or a lazy stop to swim. The Highfield Tender takes you ashore to a village taverna or a beach, and the hydraulic aft gangway makes stepping off at a quay easy. Evenings gather around the BBQ beneath the bimini or sun awning, with music through the Fusion Soundsystem. Inside there is a salon TV, salon stereo, iPod/device hookups and WiFi, with UNO and cards for unhurried nights at anchor.
