37.3m Heesen AURELIA Offers West Med Charter From €120,000

The 37.3-metre Heesen AURELIA is currently offered by IYC for West Mediterranean charter from €120,000 per week, with Spain, France and Italy listed among the operating regions. The 2011 aluminium yacht accommodates eight guests in four cabins and retains the distinctive racing-inspired identity created for her original owner.

West Mediterranean availability

IYC’s current programme places AURELIA in the western Mediterranean at a base rate of €120,000 per week plus expenses. The broker also shows a 2027 seasonal range reaching €130,000, with final pricing dependent on dates, location and availability.

Accommodation is arranged for eight guests in four cabins, including a full-beam owner’s suite on the main deck. Two double cabins and one twin cabin complete the guest layout, matching the configuration recorded by Heesen in its official fleet profile.

A sports-car design identity

Heesen describes AURELIA as its tenth 37-metre sportster and links the yacht’s visual identity directly to classic Gran Turismo design. Gulf racing colours, automotive references and a Bannenberg & Rowell interior give the yacht a deliberately different character from a conventional white-hulled charter yacht.

The design theme extends beyond graphics and colour into detailed interior references to automotive craftsmanship, according to the shipyard. IYC’s current presentation retains that identity while adding a broad selection of water toys and exterior spaces suited to active charter use.

Thirty-knot performance

The builder records a semi-displacement aluminium hull, approximately 245GT of volume and a maximum speed of 30 knots. Twin MTU 16V 4000 M90 engines are rated at 2,720kW each, with a design range of 1,900 nautical miles at 12 knots.

Heesen’s technical specification also lists two Seakeeper Model 21000 gyro stabilisers, while the broker promotes stabilisation as part of the onboard comfort package. A 16-knot cruising speed in the current charter listing supports faster transfers between Mediterranean anchorages.

Rate and booking context

IYC quotes the current entry rate from €120,000 per week plus expenses, with the published programme covering Spain, France and Italy. The broker describes the yacht as having undergone extensive work during 2024–2025, although its specifications table records the formal refit year as 2023.

That difference is best read as continuing maintenance and improvement rather than a reason to recast the yacht’s documented build history. Charterers should confirm the final itinerary, rate, taxes and provisioning arrangements directly with IYC before committing to dates.
