Abeking and Rasmussen, the German shipyard founded in 1907 on the Weser estuary near Bremen, builds some of the most technically refined and long-lived motor and sailing yachts in the world. A charter aboard an Abeking and Rasmussen yacht in the Exumas around Shroud Cay places extraordinary German engineering in one of the most beautiful archipelagos in the Atlantic.
Shroud Cay sits within the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, a protected marine reserve that covers twenty-two miles of the Exumas chain. The park prohibits spearfishing and restricts anchoring to protect its outstanding reefs, which means the underwater environment here is among the best preserved in the Bahamas. Three Abeking and Rasmussen yachts are available for charter in the Bahamas and Caribbean region, each representing the top tier of their respective categories.
Weekly charter rates for Abeking and Rasmussen vessels in Caribbean waters typically begin at around 150,000 euros and can exceed 400,000 euros for the largest superyachts in the fleet. An advance provisioning allowance of approximately thirty percent applies in addition to the base rate and covers fuel, gourmet provisioning, premium beverages, berthing, and crew gratuity planning. Availability is limited and peak Caribbean season dates should be reserved well in advance.
The combination of a vessel of this calibre with the protected waters of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, anchored off Shroud Cay, represents one of the finest charter experiences available in the western Atlantic.
