Abeking and Rasmussen from Lemwerder, Germany produces superyachts to the highest engineering standards in the industry, and three A&R vessels charter in the British Virgin Islands with Jost Van Dyke among their regular destinations. The yard builds to Bureau Veritas and Germanischer Lloyd class, using the same structural and mechanical tolerances applied to naval vessels and high-speed government craft. In a charter context, that translates to a vessel that runs reliably through a Caribbean season without the mechanical diversions that affect lesser-built yachts. Jost Van Dyke, with its celebrated White Bay anchorage and the bar scene at Great Harbour, is a natural final destination on most BVI circuits: easy from Tortola on the last morning of the charter, with the Cooper Island and Norman Island circuit completed in the preceding days. Three A&R yachts operate in BVI waters, from approximately 40 to 60 metres, with crew teams of ten to sixteen. Weekly rates range from approximately 110,000 to 300,000 euros, with the advance provisioning allowance at 30 percent.
