Aura 51 · Octantis
Octantis is a Fountaine Pajot Aura 51 built in 2026, registered as an 8-berth catamaran among the charter yachts we offer in Europe. Length overall is 15.54 m (51.0 ft), with the home base at Porto Vecchio | Lampedusa. She is chartered with her own skipper and crew, so the boat handling stays in professional hands and her size goes into living space — enough volume on deck and in the saloon for the full guest list, with a crew that knows how she handles in the Italian coast’s typical summer winds.
The interior is laid out across 4 cabins and 4 heads, with berths for up to 8 people. Whether linens, towels and a start-pack of galley essentials are included in the charter rate or charged at the base varies by boat, and we confirm it before you book. The operator also handles the inventory check on hand-over, so you can move provisioning to the top of your first morning rather than your departure afternoon.
The boat carries a classic mainsail. On board you will also find snorkel sets, water toys, and stand-up paddle. From her home marina, a week's sailing takes in the nearby islands and coves of the Italian coast. Europe Yachts looks after the booking end-to-end — from first inquiry through check-out — with a 72-hour free-cancellation window standard on every reservation. We stay reachable in your language and timezone, whether you’re booking solo or coordinating logistics for a larger group.

sailing questions
You can get in touch with the captain as soon as you've completed your booking.
This yacht is chartered with her own crew, provided by the yacht's charter operator, not by Europe Yachts. Any crew fee the operator charges is listed under Extras on this page.
This yacht is only chartered with her crew, and her captain is in charge of navigation, mooring and the systems on board — nobody in your group needs a boating licence or any experience. You plan the days with the captain: the route, the swim stops and where to spend each night, as the weather allows.
The crew comes with the yacht from her charter operator, not from Europe Yachts, so the operator decides how many crew members are on board and what else they look after — meals, cabins, service on deck. Ask us before you book and we will check with them. Any crew fee the operator charges is listed under Extras on this page.
It depends on what the yacht's charter operator offers. Some operators sell half or full board, some stock the galley from your shopping list, and on larger crewed yachts an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is common: a deposit the captain draws on for food, drinks, fuel and harbour fees, accounted for at the end of the charter. When the operator lists any of these for this yacht, you will find it under Extras on this page.
When you ask us for an offer, tell us how your group likes to eat — on board, ashore or a mix of both — and about any allergies or dietary needs. We pass it on to the operator and come back to you with what can be arranged.
Three ways, all of which land in the same charter desk in Split:
- Online wizard — pick dates, country and crew size on the boat-finder. We come back inside a business day with a shortlist of three to five matched yachts.
- Phone or email — describe the trip in your own words to +385 91 300 0009 or info@europe-yachts.com. Most quotes go out the same afternoon.
- Direct yacht request — already saw a specific yacht on our site? Click "Request offer" on the boat page and the option lands with the charter agent who covers that base.
Once you choose a yacht we place a 24- to 72-hour hold while you confirm flights, crew list and any skipper paperwork. The boat is locked the moment the first instalment lands — 30%, 40% or 50% of the total depending on the partner's terms, or the full amount if the charter starts inside 60 days. Bank transfer and Visa/Mastercard/Amex both work; every payment is covered by Wiener Insurance Group at no extra cost.
Inside the first 72 hours after booking, you can still cancel free of charge — full refund, no questions asked.
