She is both intuitive and attentive, so that the right atmosphere & level of service is met for you and your guests. Her multicultural heritage can also be found in her cooking.

About the yacht
About BEYOND
Description as supplied.
Beyond is one of Fountaine Pajot's latest masterpieces to leave the factory floors. This Aura 51' is the leader of their eco-friendly models. Boarding the vessel, you feel the easy flow between the cockpit and saloon that almost merge into one. With the galley-up, guests and crew also feel the effects of this harmonious layout and are instantly relaxed and feel at home. With a beautiful teak table for dining, eight guests will comfortably spend many happy moments sharing, laughter, drinks and stories around this table.
For those who try their hand at the helm, the ease in which this vessel can be manoeuvred, will instantly be felt. So surprisingly simple to handle. The flybridge is spacious and sheltered from the warmth of the sun and the sail controls are kept simple as all the active lines come back to the winches at the helm. Decks are flushed and there's a hydraulic platform at the aft that carries the tender while at sea but more importantly as a dive-platform for the more active guests.
The salon is equipped with deep upholstered sofas, ideal for hiding from the sun or enjoying movie nights with the loved ones.
Beyond is the Maestro 5-cabin version of the Aura 51' with one owner's suite and 3 VIP cabins and 1 double cabin with en-suite bathrooms.

Who BEYOND suits
BEYOND is a sailing catamaran perfectly suited for intimate groups looking to explore the water in comfort. With 4 cabins providing space for 6 guests, she accommodates families or small parties seeking a relaxed pace of life at sea. The inclusion of kayaks and paddleboards ensures that active mornings can be spent exploring quiet bays, while the onboard BBQ and sun pads provide a seamless transition to lazy afternoons spent lounging on deck. Her layout is designed to maximise social interaction across the main living areas.
When positioned in the Leeward Islands, she sits at a length similar to other yachts in the area. Her capacity for 6 guests remains consistent with the typical guest count for vessels of this size, and her build year of 2022 is similar to the age of comparable craft found in these waters. Potential charterers will find that the weekly rate remains similar to other options, making her a balanced choice for those who value modern design and consistent performance throughout their time on board.
The best time to experience the Caribbean, Bahamas, Leeward Islands, and Windward Islands is during the primary season from December to April. These months provide reliable trade winds and limited rainfall, creating ideal sailing conditions for BEYOND throughout the winter and summer of 2026. While the region remains accessible across the calendar, those planning a trip in the later months should note the change in weather patterns as the year progresses.

Cruising the Leeward Islands: when to go and where to anchor
Best time
The primary charter season runs from December to April, marked by reliable north-easterly trade winds of 15 to 25 knots and minimal rainfall. Peak demand occurs during the festive period and regatta weeks. May brings lighter breezes and fewer yachts, while the official Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, during which charter operations are significantly reduced.
Practical tips
- Fly into St Maarten (SXM) or Antigua (ANU); Simpson Bay marinas are 5–15 minutes from SXM, while English Harbour and Falmouth are 30–40 minutes from ANU.
- Cruising between island nations requires clearing customs and immigration at designated ports of entry, with passports and ship documents presented by the yacht captain.
- Provisioning is most extensive on St Maarten and Antigua, which have large supermarkets near key marinas, whereas smaller outlying islands have more restricted inventory.
Anchorages to know
- Anse de Colombier, St BartsA sheltered, uninhabited bay within the nature reserve featuring mooring buoys, clear water, and walking tracks to the headland.
- English Harbour, AntiguaA deeply indented, historic harbour offering landlocked shelter, designated anchorages, and direct access to restored naval facilities.
- Green Island, AntiguaAn uninhabited island protected by an outer barrier reef, providing calm waters for tender use and water sports.
- Simpson Bay, St MaartenA broad roadstead anchorage and sheltered lagoon entrance providing well-protected holding and quick access to coastal services.
