A sporty motor yacht built around a sports-car and horse-racing theme — each cabin is styled after a different marque, think Ferrari, Aston Martin, and Alfa Romeo. She's quick too, with a top speed of 30 knots, and a recent major refit has her looking superb. The captain has been aboard since she was built in 2011, so the crew know her inside out.

AURELIA is almost brand new and comes loaded with an impressive lineup of water toys — plenty to keep everyone entertained. She's run by a professional crew of three under Captain John, and it's easy to see why she books up fast each season. Reach out early to secure your dates.

Captain's Interview: M/Y Aurelia
The captain of Aurelia, who was part of her build team, discusses the yacht's unique design inspired by racing cars, her cruising capabilities, and the exceptional guest experience she offers.
She's one of a kind. And if you do charter Aurelia, anyone that sees the vessel knows what vessel it is. It's unique.
Captain 0:32
We can cruise easily at 27 knots. And that speed really makes a difference sometimes.
Captain 2:24
Everything that they may want, we'll try to deliver even before they ask. So they do leave the Aurelia feeling very special.
