The builder

Quiet perfection, the German way.

Abeking & Rasmussen is one of the most discreet names in yachting. Founded in 1907 in Lemwerder, near Bremen, the German yard builds fully custom superyachts of exceptional quality for owners who value privacy above publicity.

Alongside its yachts, the yard has a deep engineering heritage in naval and special vessels, and it brings that same precision to superyachts such as the striking Excellence and the 98-metre Aviva.
