Aura Yacht Charter in the British Virgin Islands

Welcome aboard Aura, a luxurious 65-foot Lagoon yacht offering fully crewed charters in the British Virgin Islands.

Built in 2023, Aura combines expansive social spaces, refined accommodations, personalized cuisine, onboard diving, and an exciting collection of water toys. From her custom-enlarged primary suite to her spacious flybridge and hydraulic swim platform, every area has been designed for effortless Caribbean living.

Accommodating up to eight guests in four private cabins and supported by a professional crew of three, Aura is an exceptional choice for families, couples, and groups of friends seeking a luxury yacht charter in the BVI.

Refined Living and Entertainment

Aura’s sophisticated interior provides generous space for dining, socializing, and relaxing between island adventures. The main salon includes comfortable seating, television and stereo entertainment, board games, books, and Starlink Wi-Fi.

Full air conditioning keeps the interior comfortable throughout the charter. Additional amenities include an ice maker, barbecue, deck shower, hairdryers, shaded exterior areas, and onboard device connectivity.

Large windows and an open layout maintain a strong connection with the surrounding Caribbean scenery, whether Aura is underway or resting in a peaceful anchorage.

Four Luxurious Guest Cabins

Aura welcomes up to eight guests in four spacious guest cabins.

The centrepiece is a custom-enlarged primary suite featuring a king-size bed and an impressive double-size shower. Its generous proportions create a private sanctuary unlike the standard accommodation aboard many yachts in this class.

Three additional VIP cabins provide comfortable private retreats for the remaining guests. Each cabin is designed to support restful nights after days spent sailing, swimming, and exploring the islands.

The professional crew of three occupies separate accommodations, delivering attentive service while preserving guest privacy.

Expansive Outdoor Living

Aura offers multiple exterior areas where guests can enjoy the sunshine, sea breeze, and panoramic views of the British Virgin Islands.

The cockpit dining area provides an inviting setting for alfresco meals, while the expansive flybridge offers lounge seating, sunbathing areas, shaded spaces, and elevated views across the water. Two bars ensure refreshments are always close at hand.

Dual helm stations support smooth yacht operations while preserving the open and sociable quality of the deck layout.

A hydraulic swim platform and two sugar-scoop boarding areas provide convenient access to the sea, tender, and water-toy collection.

Personalized Cuisine and Service

Aura’s professional crew of three provides personalized hospitality throughout the charter.

The onboard chef prepares gourmet meals tailored to guest preferences, while the stewardess complements the dining experience with attentive service and signature cocktails. From relaxed breakfasts to sunset dinners, every menu and tablescape can become part of the experience.

The crew’s local knowledge also helps shape each itinerary around the interests of the charter group, from secluded anchorages and snorkelling sites to memorable island excursions.

MEET YOUR CREW
CAPTAIN: Per Pertoft
CHEF: Maia Gifford

STEWARDESS: Kristin Routledge

From a young age, Per developed a deep passion for the ocean, spending vacations by the Swedish coastline where he learned to sail and race dinghies. He expanded his love for watersports to include kitesurfing and surfing. Over the past 15 years, he has owned and sailed a sailboat around southern Sweden, continuously honing his skills and deepening his connection to the sea.
After earning degrees in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, as well as Economics, Per transformed his oceanic passion into a career. He began as a kitesurfing instructor before moving into the maritime charter and delivery industry, amassing valuable experience. His career spans various roles within yacht sailing, from competitive sailing in his youth to managing private and flotilla charters. He has worked on flotilla charters with more than 80 vessels, handling guest management, overseeing skippers, providing flotilla instructions, planning routes, and stepping into leadership roles as a lead skipper.
In addition to his maritime pursuits, Per is a professional kite instructor with extensive experience as a Kitesurf and Wing foil instructor. His hospitality experience includes bartending, where he refined his mixology skills. Per is fluent in Swedish, German, and English, with proficiency in French and Spanish.
At 29 years old, he brings a wealth of experience and a strong background as a yacht captain, eager to contribute to exceptional guest experiences and operational excellence.

Maia grew up in a small town north of Boston, Massachusetts in a family of entertainers. Whether it was hosting extended family for Christmas Eve dinner, gathering neighbors to watch sports events, or welcoming friends for a homemade brunch, something was always going on at the Gifford house. Any good party is never complete without the food and Maia was taught from a young age that homemade is always best. Her parents ignited a desire to learn to make anything from scratch and to try to replicate favorite dishes from trips abroad.

After graduating from Worcester Polytechnic Institute with an Environmental Engineering degree, Maia hoped for something more than the typical 9-5 desk job that her degree promised and decided to take some time off to explore the world. While searching for a way to affordably travel Europe for the summer, Maia stumbled upon a position as a yacht chef. This job combined her love for cooking and entertaining with her desire for adventure and spontaneity. What was meant to be one summer turned into four years of working charters in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and French Polynesia. In each new location Maia has learned new skills from locals and fellow yacht chefs that she’s excited to bring to you on charter.

Kristin, a hardworking, energetic, and adaptable deck/stew from South Africa’s Garden Route,  has a lifelong passion for the ocean, travel, and exceptional guest service. Her diverse experience spans luxury villa concierge services, hospitality, lifesaving, surf coaching, administration, private tutoring, and marine conservation. A certified PADI Divemaster with training in underwater photography, she is confident in and around the water and regularly participates in reef clean-ups and marine research initiatives. She also serves as a director of the Earth Legacy Foundation, supporting conservation projects and sustainable coastal development. Friendly, professional, and eager to learn, she brings independence, resilience, strong organisational skills, and a positive attitude to her role. In her spare time, she enjoys diving, surfing, travelling, cooking, rock climbing, and creative crafts.

This dynamic crew is excited to be on Aura and look forward to welcoming you aboard, showing you the wonders of the Virgin Islands and creating memories to last a lifetime!

Thank you so much for making this trip so memorable and special, our last vacation before baby! We had such a nice time relaxing and enjoying each others and your company. We appreciate all the things you did to take care of us, big and small. We truly appreciate your attention to detail and thoughtfulness in making our experience so fulfilling (again!). It’s also been so fun to hang out and I’m so glad we got to play games, fish, foil, have dinner together, and just catch up all together. We’d love to see you guys if you’re ever in DC. Wagner
