Abeking & Rasmussen has been building bluewater yachts at its shipyard near Bremen since 1907, and the three vessels available for charter in the Tobago Cays region carry that heritage in their design: long-range displacement hulls, generous fuel capacity and crews accustomed to Atlantic passages as much as Caribbean anchorages. These are yachts for guests who want confidence at sea alongside refinement at anchor.
The Abeking & Rasmussen charter fleet spans approximately 45 to 80 metres. Each vessel is built to northern European standards of structural rigour and finish quality. Interiors run to six or seven guest cabins in pale woods and natural stone, with full-beam master suites and main-deck saloons designed for evening entertaining. Active stabilisers are standard, smoothing overnight crossings from Martinique or St Lucia into pleasure rather than necessity.
Weekly charter rates for Abeking & Rasmussen yachts in the Caribbean range from approximately 150,000 to 350,000 euros. The Advance Provisioning Allowance, typically 30 percent of the base rate, covers fuel for daily island passages, provisions and wine, berthing at Union Island and dockage throughout the Grenadines. Peak December to April availability fills fast, with brokers recommending reservations nine months ahead.
The yacht enters Tobago Cays National Park through the northern channel off Union Island, anchoring first in the lagoon between Baradal Island and Petit Rameau. Horseshoe Reef to the south provides snorkelling with hawksbill and green turtles. Petit Bateau and Jamesby offer quieter anchorages within the park, while a half-day sail north reaches Mayreau’s Salt Whistle Bay or south to Palm Island.
