Ideal for larger groups. With 12 berths across 6 cabins, this 2025 Aura 51 is perfect if you're chartering with extended family or friends—think multi-generational trips or small corporate outings. The catamaran hull means excellent stability and shallow draft, so you'll get into anchorages others can't reach.

Seriously well-equipped. Solar panels, water maker, ice maker, and a generator mean you're genuinely self-sufficient for extended cruising; you won't be hunting for provisions every other day. The flybridge, electric winches, and teak cockpit with cushions make life aboard genuinely comfortable, and the barbecue lets you entertain properly in the evenings.

Good value proposition. At €12,500 per week, you're paying for a brand-new, spacious catamaran with serious cruising credentials and next-to-zero maintenance risk. For 12 people, that works out to roughly €1,040 per person per week—reasonable for a 2025 build with this kit list.

One heads-up: The listing doesn't specify the base location, which matters enormously for flight connections and overall trip logistics from North America or mainland Europe. Before booking, confirm exactly where "Beyond Yachting" operates this vessel—Caribbean, Mediterranean, or elsewhere—so you can factor in realistic travel time and airport access.

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Marina Lefkas, in Lefkada, Greece. Gentle Giant is operated by Beyond Yachting.

East Shore

Can Gentle Giant be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Gentle Giant bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.

What sailing licence do I need to charter Gentle Giant?

Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.

What's included in the charter price?

The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.

What additional costs should I expect at the base?

Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.

How does the security deposit work?

The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.

Can I cancel my charter booking?

Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.

Is the yacht insured?

Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.

What documents do I need to bring?

You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.

What payment methods are accepted?

Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
