Abeking and Rasmussen is a German shipyard founded in Lemwerder in 1907, producing custom aluminium and steel motor yachts and fast patrol vessels from 30 to over 100 metres. The yard is renowned for engineering precision and structural integrity, having built some of the most technically demanding superyacht projects in the world. Harbour Island is a small island off the northeast coast of Eleuthera in the Bahamas, known for the three-kilometre stretch of pink-sand beach on its Atlantic shore and the colonial architecture of Dunmore Town. The protected harbour on the western side provides calm anchorages for visiting yachts, with Valentines Marina handling berths for vessels in the larger size range. The three Abeking and Rasmussen yachts available in this region bring a level of build quality and engineering pedigree rarely encountered in the Bahamian charter market. Weekly charter rates typically range from 200,000 to over 700,000 euros, with the advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covering fuel, gourmet food, marina fees and beverages. Peak season runs December through April. Pink Sands Beach, Dunmore Town dining and the Glass Window Bridge on the Eleuthera mainland provide excellent shore excursions, while Royal Island to the north offers an uninhabited anchorage for guests seeking a quiet overnight stop away from the marina.
