Auriane Motor Yacht

Auriane came out of a refit in 2021, and this 101ft (31m) motor yacht wears exterior lines drawn by Broward, the yard that built her in 1985.

Comfort under way

She cruises at 11 knots and holds 14 in reserve, using 175 litres of fuel an hour.

On deck

Her swim platform meets the water, which turns getting into the sea into a step down rather than a climb back over the side.

Water toys

The 27ft MarCo tender runs guests ashore and does the towing, with water skis and a Jobe towable behind it. A Seabob, a SUP board and a kayak give ways to get about in the water, and inflatable toys, snorkelling gear and fishing tackle come too.

Where she cruises

Dubrovnik in Croatia is Auriane's home port, and her cruising takes in Croatia and Montenegro, two coastlines to move between.

Accommodation and crew

Three cabins – two doubles and a twin – sleep six guests. She is air-conditioned with WiFi aboard, and a crew of four runs her, handling the boat, the tender and the toys so guests do not have to.

Charter notes

She suits a family or a group of friends – July and August are her busiest months – and a rental takes six overnight, with up to 12 aboard by day, so more of the party can join for time on the water.
