Chartering a Abeking & Rasmussen yacht in Martinique combines the yard’s engineering reputation with the French Antilles’ most varied sailing destination. Abeking and Rasmussen is a German engineering yard of the highest order, building aluminium motor and expedition yachts with structural integrity and seakeeping second to none. The Martinique fleet includes 3 Abeking & Rasmussen vessels available for private charter, each crewed to MYBA or AYCA standards with a team of four to ten. The island serves as a natural base for weekly itineraries through the Windward Islands, with neighbouring destinations accessible in a day’s sail.
A Abeking & Rasmussen charter yacht brings the yard’s design philosophy to the tropics: considered deck layouts, well-proportioned interior spaces and a crew focused on the guest programme from arrival. Water toys, tenders and paddleboards are standard, and the chef sources local produce through Martinique’s markets in Le Marin and Fort-de-France and regional markets.
Weekly charter rates for Abeking & Rasmussen yachts in Martinique range from approximately 95,000 euros to over 260,000 euros depending on the vessel’s length, age and specification. The advance provisioning allowance adds roughly 30 percent on top of the base rate, covering fuel, food, harbour dues, berthing, drinks and crew gratuity. Unused APA is returned at the end of the charter. High season in the Caribbean Windwards runs from mid-December through April.
Martinique receives direct flights via Paris CDG, London Gatwick or Barbados. Charter managers handle all logistics, provisioning and itinerary planning in advance of embarkation, and the marina is within a short transfer of the airport.
