AURORA

AURORA — Evo Yachts, 2020 — 13.04m / 42ft — Balearic Islands Some yachts are built for crossing oceans. AURORA is built for the kind of day that starts with an early departure from the marina and ends anchored off a cove you didn't plan on finding. Launched in 2020 by Evo Yachts, this 13.04-metre motor yacht belongs to a very specific school of Italian design: compact on paper, generous in practice. The Italian yard has built its reputation on open, deck-driven layouts where the outdoor living space does the heavy lifting — and at 42 feet, that philosophy is exactly what makes AURORA feel larger underway than her measurements suggest. Her cruising ground plays to those strengths. The Balearics are made for a yacht of this size: Formentera's shallows and sandbanks, the run down Ibiza's west coast for sunset, the quieter calas of Mallorca's north shore that bigger hulls simply can't approach. Shorter hops, closer anchorages, more time in the water than on passage. On board, service is delivered by professional crew, briefed on the itinerary and the local conditions, and used to the rhythm of a Balearic charter day — where the plan flexes with the wind, the swell and what the guests actually feel like doing by mid-afternoon. AURORA suits charterers who want the islands at close range, without the formality of a larger programme. Day charters, long weekends, and the freedom to move.
