Abeking & Rasmussen’s bespoke aluminium motor yachts, engineered from Lemwerder in northern Germany since 1907, are among the most capable vessels in the charter market, and Rum Cay provides the kind of remote, undisturbed setting that justifies bringing one so far from the main charter circuit. Three Abeking & Rasmussen yachts cruise the Bahamas and Caribbean, each built to standards that make overnight passages and extended remote itineraries comfortable for guests and crew alike. Rum Cay is a sparsely populated island southeast of Nassau, surrounded by reefs, wall dives and sandy cays that see very little charter traffic. Its deep-water harbour at Port Nelson can accommodate larger vessels, and the surrounding waters are exceptional for diving, fishing and snorkelling without the disturbance that characterises the busier Bahamian destinations. Charter rates for Abeking & Rasmussen yachts in the Bahamas typically range from 150,000 to 400,000 euros per week. An advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent applies, covering fuel, provisions, dockage and crew gratuities. The season runs November through May. Abeking & Rasmussen’s engineering heritage ensures that a charter week in a remote location like Rum Cay proceeds without compromise, with systems redundancy and long-range fuel capacity making the logistics of a southern Bahamian itinerary straightforward.
