Aura スーパーヨット

Twin 1,300 hp MAN engines and a matching pair of Kohler generators sit at the centre of Aura's specification, chosen for the distances a working charter season actually covers rather than for a single afternoon out. Horizon delivered her in 2023 as the FD90 Skyline, and the power that carries guests also carries the house loads a boat this size needs while sitting at anchor. She is offered for sale through Boatcrowd.

Build and provenance

She is a fibreglass-hulled flybridge motor yacht, built in Taiwan and drawn by the designer Cor D. Rover, and she carries an AMSA 2C/1E survey classification, the certification that lets her carry paying guests as well as an owner. That class notation is the reason her engineering leans toward redundancy: twin engines, twin generators, and a Czone monitoring system watching over both.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests sleep across five en-suite cabins, four of them below deck and the owner's suite forward on the main deck with stair-free access, while four crew have two cabins of their own set aft. That arrangement keeps the principal suite on the quiet deck and puts crew traffic behind a separate door, the kind of separation a charter operation depends on as much as a private owner does.

Performance and engineering

Two 1,300 hp MAN D2868LE466 engines give Aura an 11-knot cruise and a 20-knot top speed, headroom that turns a longer hop into an option rather than the only plan. Twin Kohler generators keep air conditioning and the galley running at anchor without leaning on the mains, and bow and stern thrusters make her straightforward to place alongside without a marina crew's help. A 1.9-metre draught keeps her out of the shallowest anchorages while letting her sit close in elsewhere.

Where she lies and how to see her

Aura lies in Sanctuary Cove, Australia. Boatcrowd arranges viewings there and attends every one, and once an offer is accepted we bring in the surveyor and organise the sea trial. She is also in our charter fleet: her programme runs out of the Whitsundays across Australia and New Zealand, and a buyer weighing her up can charter her first and decide afterwards, with no rates on this page.
