A&R Unveils 'ARUBY' Platform At 2026 PBIBS
​

Custom German superyacht builder Abeking & Rasmussen has unveiled a brand new project. In fact the result is a unique and exclusive partnership between the shipyard and Reymond Langton Design. The new project is a new platform that is 70-meters long and is a ready-to-build design for an owner to hop onboard immediately to commence construction. It is called 'ARUBY' and the yard announced it on the 26th at the ongoing Palm Beach International Boat Show (PBIBS).

ARUBY 70 is not only one of uncompromising quality but it is ready to build right away. These kinds of projects help to lessen the wait times for a new owner as the technical and engineering platform has already been developed it is just the yard has to commence construction once the client signed on the 'dotted line'. This approach is beneficial to both parties (client and yard). Some builders may engage in speculative construction which can be highly risky where the builder puts the resources and money into starting a build without an owner onboard hoping to get an owner onboard along the process. For some builders this approach tends to work as it significantly reduces how long the client has to wait for delivery. What if the yard does not find an owner by the time the yacht is ready to launch? This is where the A&R approach with ARUBY comes in...they have a ready-to-build platform which starts to process for the owner but does not leave the yard with unnecessary resources input.

Experience 'New Luxury' with ultimate privacy, discreet service, and intelligent layouts that perfect your work-life balance at sea—anchored by a spectacular, open Beach Club. Powered by whisper-quiet, future-fuel-ready diesel-electric propulsion, ARUBY is designed to be as enduring, strong, and beautiful as the gemstone she is named after.

Abeking & Rasmussen are proud to introduce the ARUBY design to the market which is representative of their first series yacht. This exclusive design partnership and collaboration with renowned design powerhouse Reymond Langton Design, the two companies have successfully translated decades of custom superyacht expertise into a 70-meter, ready-to-build platform.
