AURA Motor yacht for sale

Designed by acclaimed naval architect Dubois and built by Alloy Yachts in New Zealand, the 40m yacht AURA is only in her second ownership where she has just seen a major yard period, including full Lloyds-class survey and complete interior upgrade, that’s left her looking and feeling like a completely new yacht.

With exterior design and naval architecture by Dubois Naval Architects, AURA yacht for sale is a semi-displacement commercial yacht, which is fully MCA compliant, with an aluminium hull and superstructure and solid, practical engineering. As part of her 20-year Special Survey, AURA motor yacht completed a full mechanical restoration, which included overhauling and servicing all her systems, and an entire hull polish. Powered by twin 1450hp Caterpillar engines, she has a top speed of 16.5 knots and cruises comfortably at 12 knots. At an economical speed of 10 knots she has a transatlantic range of 4,000nm, and she is fitted with stabilisers for a smoother sailing experience.

AURA yacht’s expansive sun deck has been given a complete refresh for 2026, with new seating covers and a chic sunbathing area around the newly installed Jacuzzi, which together with the barbecue area and lounge will ensure this is a hotspot for sunkissed soirees. Meanwhile, the main deck salon, with its formal dining space and elegant lounge connects seamlessly to the large aft deck, where a dining table for 10 is the perfect setting for alfresco lunches and sunset dinners, while the bar and curved bench seat create a relaxed spot for cocktail hour. With floor-length windows throughout, the connection to the sea is maintained wherever you are on AURA yacht, and the large swim platform makes boarding some of the many water toys a breeze.
