Shipyard History

Established in Lemwerder, Germany, in 1907 by Henry Rasmussen and Georg Abeking, Abeking & Rasmussen yachts originally focused on constructing commercial sail and motor yachts. Their commitment to innovative designs and impeccable craftsmanship quickly earned them a reputation that led private clients to request custom yachts. During World War I, the shipyard shifted its focus to building naval vessels, primarily minesweepers and torpedo dinghies. Since then, Abeking & Rasmussen yachts has continued to serve all facets of the maritime industry: private, commercial, and military. The shipyard is renowned for its high-custom, award-winning superyachts. Abeking & Rasmussen remains a family-owned business, blending tradition with a forward-thinking approach, often embracing cutting-edge technologies.

Today, the shipyard enjoys a solid standing in the yachting community, renowned for its meticulous craftsmanship and opulent superyachts. With a modern facility capable of constructing yachts up to 125 meters in length, Abeking & Rasmussen yachts boasts a highly skilled team of craftsmen. Their yachts consistently garner significant interest in both the sales and charter markets, offering strong investment potential for buyers.
