About Crewed Catamaran PAPA CHARLIE
PAPA CHARLIE is a 2023 Fountaine Pajot Aura 51 offering refined sailing through Sardinia's most coveted waters. Her four double cabins accommodate eight guests in understated luxury, each designed with natural light and ensuite facilities. The catamaran's spacious saloon features floor-to-ceiling glazing that dissolves boundaries between interior and seascape, whilst her expansive deck plan spans foredeck bronzing areas, aft dining platform, and elevated flybridge for uninterrupted Mediterranean vistas.
Your dedicated captain and crew craft a personalised itinerary around your preferences, whether that means sunrise anchorages in La Maddalena's secluded coves, water sports adventures, or leisurely exploration of Porto Cervo's distinctive coastline. Galley-prepared cuisine arrives fresh to your table each evening. The catamaran's twin-hull design delivers stability and shallow-draft access to hidden beaches and protected anchorages that larger monohulls cannot reach.
Onboard amenities balance comfort with adventure. A selection of water toys includes paddle boards, snorkeling equipment, and a sea scooter for exploring reefs and crystalline shallows. The flybridge becomes your private observation deck at sunset, whilst the aft deck transforms into an elegant dining venue under the stars.

The Charter Experience
A week aboard PAPA CHARLIE typically unfolds across Porto Cervo, La Maddalena, and the islands of northern Sardinia. Days blend active exploration (kayaking through emerald inlets, snorkeling above submerged granite formations) with purposeful indulgence (seaside lunches at whitewashed villages, aperitivos on the flybridge). Your crew handles navigation and logistics; you focus on the rhythm of the sea. Morning swims in protected anchorages, afternoon wind sailing, evening gatherings on deck as light turns golden across the archipelago. The Aura 51's shallow draft opens access to Corsican granite coves and secret Maddalena bays beyond reach of larger vessels.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical seven-day itinerary departs Porto Cervo, sailing northeast to La Maddalena for protected anchorages and swimming. Day two explores the uninhabited islands of the archipelago, with snorkeling at submerged rocks and lunch at an isolated beach. Days three and four venture towards Corsican waters, calling at Bonifacio for provisions and cultural exploration. Mid-week returns to Sardinian coves around Palau and Santa Teresa, allowing water sports and relaxation. Final days retrace scenic routes back to Porto Cervo, with sunset anchorages chosen by your crew based on wind and your expressed preferences.
