Fountaine Pajot Aura 51 – "Amajen" Full Owners Layout Now in Annapolis and ready to head south for the winter.
Looking for a 2025 tax deduction? Amajen will qualify if set up correctly.
US Import Duty Paid
Amajen is a highly customized and meticulously maintained Aura 51, built and spec’d for serious cruising in ultimate comfort. The original owners previously spent two years sailing a Saona 47, learning firsthand what works (and what doesn’t) when living aboard full-time. They brought all that experience to this build — and it shows.
I was personally involved in the process from start to finish, and I can confidently say this is one of the best-equipped and most thoughtfully built Aura 51s I’ve ever represented.
For the full spec sheet, see the detailed equipment list — but here are a few key highlights:
