Who It Suits. This five-cabin catamaran works well for larger family groups or friends wanting to split costs across multiple cabins; at 11 berths you've got real sleeping space without feeling cramped. The 2026 build means modern systems and reliable performance for a week-long Mediterranean cruise.
What Stands Out. Air conditioning, a generator, and an onboard water maker are solid practical features that matter on a summer charter; you won't be rationing freshwater or sweltering below deck during hot afternoons. The Aura 51 platform is a proven catamaran design with reasonable fuel efficiency for a boat this size.
Value For Money. At roughly €8,400 per week from a new-build, you're paying fairly for the cabin count and comfort extras; catamaran rates in the Med tend to cluster here, so this isn't a bargain but it's honest pricing. Splitting the cost among six or eight people brings the per-person cost down noticeably.
One Note. Marina di Stabia (near Naples) requires a flight connection via a larger airport like Rome or Milan for most international visitors, adding travel time compared to bases further north; factor in ground transfers when planning your arrival day.

Marina di Stabia sits in the Bay of Naples with straightforward access to the Sorrentine Peninsula and Capri; week one typically involves reaching Positano or Amalfi within a day's sail, then exploring the dramatic coastline and small anchorages around Praiano. The marina works well as a base for either Greek-bound charters heading south through the Tyrrhenian Sea or week-long loops around the Amalfi Coast, Ischia, and Procida. Light to moderate southwesterlies dominate in summer, making eastbound passages to the Greek islands more reliable later in the season.
