The Story Behind AURA

The Vision

AURA was born from a simple conviction: that the Ionian Sea deserves to be experienced properly. Not from a crowded ferry deck or a tour boat shared with forty strangers — but from the bow of a private vessel, at your own pace, with someone who knows every cove, every cave, and every shift of the afternoon light.

We built AURA around that conviction. Every detail — from the VIP pre-boarding experience to the drone footage delivered the following morning — exists to serve one purpose: to give you a day on the water that you will not forget.

The Captain

Our captain holds full Greek maritime licensing and carries comprehensive passenger liability insurance. Beyond qualifications, he brings years of intimate knowledge of the Ionian — knowing precisely where the light hits the water at 4pm, which cave to enter depending on wind and swell conditions, and which anchorage offers the most shelter for a perfect swimming stop.

The Ionian Sea is his home. Your experience is his work.

Aerial Photography

All aerial photography and video from your cruise is captured by our certified drone pilot (EASA A1/A2/A3 licence), ensuring safe, professional, fully compliant footage.

The Vessel

Our vessel is maintained to the highest standards of safety and comfort. Inspected annually, fully insured, and equipped with all required safety equipment — life jackets, first aid, emergency communication. Accommodating up to 11 guests ensures every voyage feels private, never crowded.

Our Commitment

We never cruise in unsuitable conditions. If the sea is not right for the experience we promised, we reschedule — always, without hesitation. Your safety and the quality of your experience are the same priority.
