New & Used Abeking Rasmussen Yacht Sales

The first shipyard site was inaugurated in Lemwerder on the banks of the Weser in 1907.  Over the decades, it has evolved into a state-of-the-art shipbuilding complex, currently consisting of 5 halls for ships of lengths up to 80m, modern office buildings, an inner harbor and a syncrolift. 

Environmentally friendly workshops housing high performance production facilities for conventional steel, wood, aluminium and non-magnetizalbe steel.  Lemwerder can be reached conveniently by Bremen Airport, railway and the A1 and A27 motorways.  Visitors arriving in private aircraft may land at the ASL airstrip adjacent to the shipyard.

       

History of Abeking & Rasmussen Yachts:

Since Georg Abeking and Henry Rasmussen founded the shipyard in 1907, more than 6,400 ships and boats have been constructed.  Until the seventies A&R was also still producing smaller boats and yachts, but today, the product range for all craft begins at approx. 30 meters in length. Observing all the up-to-date new constructions, many people ask what has happened to the beautiful old traditional yachts. 

The ShipYard of Abekign & Rasmussen:

Well, when these classic ships were built, they were the up-to-date innovative craft of their age.  Be it a Hansajolle or a Concordia Yawl, boats from Abeking & Rasmussen have always stood for longevity, elegance and technical perfection, and are still being cared for with affection until this very day.  And that’s why our new craft today, will be tomorrow’s classics.

Yachts
There is hardly any other type of ship so charged with emotions as the yacht.  Whether this is a sailing or a motor yacht, this kind of ship is always very personal and frequently stands for a dream coming true.  It is our task to transform the owner’s dreams into functional and reliable reality without making any aesthetic compromises.

No matter whether we design the craft in house or we corporate with of an international designer, we always put our whole heart into the ship.  And nowhere is shipbuilding so varied: a classic sailing yacht constructed from wood, and up-to-date fast sloop in aluminium, a displacement motor yacht in steel, or a speedboat in fibre glass.  Each new yacht is unique, mirroring the style and the philosophy of its owner.

   

The shipyard has been developing and building ships for navies, coastguards, the public sector, ship operators and private customers since 1907.  In addition to sailing-and motoryachts, current products include minesweepers and – hunters, patrol boats plus special ships like research and supply ships for the offshore industry. 

With SWATH technology, A&R developed a type of ship with exceptional sea keeping featured that provides a stable working platform even in heavy seas and opens up quite new horizons in other operations, while enhancing the safety and reliability of traditional ones.  High demands on safety and quality provide the basis for our corporate philosophy as an innovation-oriented shipyard in the high-tech country Germany.
