Fountaine Pajot Aura 51 – “Amajen”
US Import Duty Paid | Owner’s Version | Turn-Key & Available Now
Amajen is one of the most well-equipped Aura 51s on the market today — built by experienced owners who spent two years living aboard and refining every detail before commissioning this boat.
Designed for serious cruising with no wasted decisions, this is a true owner’s version that stands apart from typical charter-oriented builds.

The Bottom Line
If you’re comparing Aura 51s, Amajen stands out immediately.
