Abeking & Rasmussen, established in 1907 in Lemwerder on the Weser river, is among the most respected names in international superyacht construction, building fully custom sailing and motor yachts from 40 to 90 metres to the highest engineering standards. The yard’s vessels are known for their precision fit-and-finish, innovative technical solutions and a build quality that holds its value over decades. For charter in Freeport, an Abeking & Rasmussen superyacht brings the full depth of that tradition to one of the Bahamas’ most accessible deep-water harbours. Freeport’s Port Lucaya Marina has good facilities for large vessels, with fuel, provisioning and customs clearance all handled efficiently. From there, Gold Rock Beach in Lucayan National Park is a highlight of any Freeport-based charter: one of the finest beaches in the Bahamas, a 20-minute tender ride from the marina entrance. UNEXSO’s dive centre offers world-class reef diving, including blue hole dives in Ben’s Cave inside the national park. Charter rates for Abeking & Rasmussen yachts in the Bahamas range from approximately 120,000 to 500,000 euros per week before expenses. The advance provisioning allowance adds around 30 per cent, covering fuel, provisioning, dockage and crew gratuity. December through April is peak season. Specialist brokers with Abeking & Rasmussen relationships can confirm availability and arrange positioning from the North American East Coast or Caribbean.
