Abeking and Rasmussen, the Bremen yard with over a century of custom yacht building, brings exceptional engineering to a uniquely quiet corner of the Leeward Islands. Three of the yard output are available for charter in Sint Eustatius waters, including both motor and sailing superyachts that represent the kind of long-range, thoroughly built vessel this historic German shipyard has always produced.
Sint Eustatius itself, known locally as Statia and the Golden Rock, is one of the least visited islands in the Caribbean. The small Dutch island has no mass tourism, no cruise ship calls and a centre of gravity in Oranjestad, its colonial capital, that dates from the era when it was one of the most important trading posts in the Atlantic world. For guests aboard an Abeking and Rasmussen charter, it offers a genuinely different experience from the busier Leeward Islands destinations.
Three Abeking and Rasmussen yachts charter in the Sint Eustatius region, accommodating eight to twelve guests across a range of models. Weekly rates are negotiated individually and reflect the bespoke character of each vessel, typically ranging from 200,000 to 400,000 euros or more, with advance provisioning allowances of thirty to thirty-five percent. The Leeward Islands season runs from November through April.
From Sint Eustatius, the Sint Maarten base at Simpson Bay is forty nautical miles north, Saba sits fifteen miles to the north-west, and St Kitts Basseterre is a short passage south. The island provides an unusual and rewarding departure point for a fleet of this calibre.
