AURORA

AURORA — Lagoon catamaran, 12.8 m, Greece Built by Lagoon in 2021, AURORA is a 12.8-metre catamaran working the Greek islands — a hull configuration that plays directly to the strengths of the Aegean. Two hulls mean stability at anchor when the meltemi pushes through, shallow draft for the coves the deeper yachts have to admire from a distance, and a level of natural ventilation no monohull of this size can match. Accommodation is arranged across six cabins for twelve guests, with the detailed bed configuration confirmed on request. It is a genuinely generous layout for a yacht of this footprint, and one that suits groups travelling together — families, friends, sailing parties — rather than a single couple looking for volume. Life aboard is centred where it should be on a catamaran: outdoors. The bridgedeck and cockpit sit on the same level, so the transition between shade, table and open air happens without thinking about it, and the foredeck gives you somewhere to disappear with a book while the anchorage fills up around you. The Greek cruising grounds are the real argument here — Cyclades hops, Ionian passages, afternoons where the itinerary bends around what the wind is actually doing. AURORA is crewed, and that is what turns a well-built production catamaran into a charter: someone who knows which bay is protected today, and who has already thought about lunch.
