Abeking & Rasmussen, the German precision builder based in Lemwerder, produces a small fleet of custom motor and sailing yachts that represent some of the finest engineering in the superyacht industry. In St Lucia, an Abeking & Rasmussen charter brings Germanic precision and build quality to one of the most scenically dramatic island destinations in the Caribbean. The combination of the Pitons rising from the south of the island and the calm of Rodney Bay to the north creates the ideal backdrop for a yacht that is built without compromise.
The yard builds in aluminium to the individual brief of each commissioning owner, typically producing vessels in the 50 to 90 metre range. The attention to technical detail is unmatched in the industry: propulsion systems, stabilisation, engineering and systems integration are all developed to a standard that reduces operational complexity for crew and guests alike. Interior design partnerships with the most respected studios in Europe complete the package.
Weekly charter rates for an Abeking & Rasmussen in St Lucia run from approximately 180,000 to 500,000 euros, reflecting the custom build quality and operational excellence of each individual vessel. The advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covers fuel, Rodney Bay Marina berth fees or anchorage, provisions from the island and crew gratuities.
St Lucia is an excellent base for a large charter vessel. Rodney Bay in the north offers a secure anchorage close to provisioning, while the dramatic anchorage beneath the Pitons in the south provides an experience available nowhere else in the world.
