The Berry Islands extend in a quiet arc north of Nassau, a 30-mile chain of small cays offering bone-fishing on the shallow western flats, wall diving at Chub Cay, and empty beaches across a dozen uninhabited anchorages that see very little charter traffic. For a Christensen composite motor yacht, built for efficient warm-water cruising at practical speeds, the Berry Islands represent an ideal match of vessel capability and destination character. Christensen yachts from Washington State are designed for North American charter clients who want comfort, reliability, and good deck space for water sports without the price premium of European steel yachts of comparable size. The composite fibreglass hulls are well suited to tropical operation in the salt and UV conditions of the Bahamas, and the semi-displacement lines allow the kind of inter-island efficiency that makes the full Berry Islands chain accessible in a single week. Weekly charter rates for Christensen yachts in the Berry Islands run from approximately 75,000 to 130,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance adds 30 percent for fuel, provisions from Nassau, marina fees at Great Harbour Cay or Chub Cay, and drinks. Provision fully at Nassau before the short passage north-east as the Berry Islands have no large provisioning facilities. Great Harbour Cay is the anchor point of the itinerary, with daily runs south through the uninhabited middle cays before returning north for the passage back to Nassau at the end of the week. Chub Cay is the southern highlight with its wall dive and sport fishing grounds.
