Fountaine Pajot push environmental technology

Fountaine Pajot chose the 2022 Cannes Yachting Festival to unveil their new electrically propelled catamaran model: the Aura 51 Smart Electric.

The Aura 51 Smart Electric is the first step in the Odyssea plan leading to the development of fuel cells that will ultimately allow Fountaine Pajot to install hydrogen-powered motors on their boats.

To augment electrical generation, the Aura 51’s large flybridge is fitted with solar panels that are totally flush-decked, integrating with the lines and capable of producing 2000 Watts of renewable energy.

The Aura 51 is available with four different interior layouts, all of which feature ensuite cabins.
