Abeking and Rasmussen is a German yard founded in 1907 in Bremen, producing some of the most technically sophisticated sailing yachts and motor yachts in the world market. The yard works at the very high end of the custom build spectrum, with each vessel representing years of design development and construction precision that few yards worldwide can match. Three Abeking and Rasmussen yachts charter in Puerto Rico waters, each carrying the full weight of German engineering in a Caribbean setting that rewards range, seakeeping ability and operational self-sufficiency. Puerto Rico occupies a strategic position in the Greater Antilles, with the Puerto Rican Trench immediately to the north and the Spanish Virgin Islands, Vieques and Culebra forming a sheltered inner archipelago within easy reach to the east. Both the offshore conditions and the inshore complexity of the Puerto Rican island group suit the Abeking and Rasmussen product: these are yachts built to handle open water passages and to provide a stable, confident platform at anchor in complex anchorages. Weekly charter rates for Abeking and Rasmussen vessels in the Caribbean range from approximately 90,000 to 250,000 euros per week depending on vessel type and length. An advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covers fuel, food, dockage and drinks throughout the week. High season runs December through April, aligning with the Greater Antilles winter sailing season. Puerto Rico infrastructure in San Juan and Fajardo supports large yacht operations well, with full-service marinas and customs facilities suited to vessels at this level.
