Christensen Yachts is an American builder based in Newport Beach, California, producing custom fibreglass and composite motor yachts between 38 and 55 metres. The yard is known for high-performance semi-displacement hulls and interior packages drawn up by North American design studios, delivering vessels suited to both quick coastal passages and week-long charter programmes. Harbour Island is a compact island in the northern Bahamas with a character quite different from the large resort destinations: the pink-sand beach on the Atlantic shore, the colonial-era pastel architecture of Dunmore Town and the relaxed pace of life are what draw repeat charter guests. Valentines Marina handles visiting yachts with alongside berths and basic provisioning, while North Eleuthera airport a short water taxi away provides easy crew and guest access. The three Christensen yachts available in this region bring American custom build quality to a Bahamas island setting that rewards a slower, more exploratory approach to charter than busy marinas permit. Weekly charter rates typically sit between 90,000 and 200,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covers fuel, food, marina fees and drinks. December through April is the most settled period for the Bahamas. Royal Island anchorage, Pink Sands Beach and the Current Cut tidal passage near Spanish Wells are the principal itinerary stops for a Harbour Island Christensen charter.
