70m Saint Nicolas To Be Refitted by Abeking and Rasmussen

Abeking & Rasmussen Services has announced the arrival of a 70-meter motor yacht Saint Nicolas from 2007 for a comprehensive refit last week. This vessel has chosen A&R Services as its trusted partner for an extensive refurbishment, including a notable extension on the swimming platform as well as a new gym and spa on the sundeck.

The project will be managed by the independent family office headquartered in Monaco, Arrow Yachts, aiming to elevate the yacht to new heights of luxury.

Undergoing both exterior and interior transformations, the refit will be a collaborative effort between Pascoli International, who will oversee the exterior enhancements, ensuring that the vessel's sleek lines and elegant profile are maintained while integrating modern elements, and Patrick Knowles Design, who will handle the interior works. The swim platform extension has been designed by the American naval architecture firm Murray & Associates. 

"This refit project represents a significant milestone for A&R Services," said Daniel Reichwald, Managing Director of A&R Services. "We are honored to have been chosen as the preferred partner for revitalizing this iconic motor yacht. Our team is committed to delivering an exceptional job and exceeding the owner's expectations."

The refit project is expected to take eight months to complete.

The German shipyard Abeking & Rasmussen was established in 1907 by George Abeking and Henry Rasmussen, the company first worked with the German Imperial Navy on several vessels including submarine destroyers and mine boats. Rasmussen then started designing wooden sailing and motor yachts which led to the construction of several pleasure crafts.
