Abeking and Rasmussen of Lemwerder builds motor and sailing superyachts in the 30 to 90 metre range with an engineering pedigree spanning more than a century. The yard’s aluminium construction is known for its precision and the resulting hull characteristics: lightweight, fast and seakindly in the conditions encountered across the BVI and the wider Caribbean. Charter from Virgin Gorda places these capable vessels at one of the most scenic starting points in the British Virgin Islands.
Three Abeking and Rasmussen yachts are available for charter from Virgin Gorda, typically in the 35 to 55 metre range and accommodating six to twelve guests across three to six cabins. The North Sound at Virgin Gorda provides sheltered anchorage during embarkation, and the full BVI circuit unfolds from this base with The Baths, Anegada, Jost Van Dyke and Norman Island all within comfortable reach.
Weekly charter rates for Abeking and Rasmussen yachts run from around 80,000 to over 200,000 euros depending on size, with the advance provisioning allowance of 30 percent covering fuel, food, berthing and drinks. The BVI winter charter season runs from October through April, with December and January the peak booking months.
From Virgin Gorda, Abeking and Rasmussen yachts can cover the full BVI circuit and cross to the USVI for guests who want to combine both territories within a single charter week. Their range and seakeeping suit the occasional open-water passages to the outer islands.
