Abeking & Rasmussen
Bespoke superyachts combining German engineering, exceptional craftsmanship and more than a century of shipbuilding heritage.
Founded in 1907 by Georg Abeking and Henry Rasmussen, Abeking & Rasmussen has been building yachts and specialist vessels from its shipyard in Lemwerder, Germany, for more than a century. Still family-owned, the yard has evolved from its early sailing yachts into one of Germany’s leading names in custom superyacht construction.
The shipyard is particularly known for combining traditional craftsmanship with sophisticated engineering and innovation. Its experience extends beyond luxury yachts into naval and specialist vessels, bringing an exceptional depth of technical knowledge to its yacht-building projects. Abeking & Rasmussen has also pioneered technologies including its SWATH concept, developed to provide greater stability and comfort at sea.
Today, the yard creates highly individual yachts in collaboration with internationally recognised designers, with each project shaped around the owner’s vision. For those looking for a truly bespoke yacht with German engineering, technical capability and an established shipbuilding heritage, Abeking & Rasmussen represents one of the most respected names in the custom yacht market.
