Christensen Yachts is an American builder based in Vancouver, Washington, producing fibreglass and carbon composite motor yachts between 40 and 60 metres. The yard has built a following among American charter clients for interiors that lean toward contemporary styling and vessels with a range well-suited to the wider Caribbean circuit. Charter yachts from Christensen available in the Anegada area number around three, each designed for parties of up to twelve guests with professional crew. Anegada’s position at the northern edge of the BVI makes it a logical staging point for any charter that plans to include the wider Virgin Islands, and the Christensen fleet’s range and stability make that plan straightforward. The island’s flat coral atoll is unlike anything else in the BVI, with flamingos in the salt ponds and beaches at Loblolly Bay and Cow Wreck Beach that see a fraction of the traffic of the southern islands. Weekly charter rates for a Christensen in the Anegada area start near 100,000 euros in low Caribbean season and rise to 300,000 euros for larger examples during peak December to April weeks. An advance provisioning allowance of 30 percent covers fuel, food, BVI cruising permits, harbour fees and onboard costs. From Anegada the circuit continues south to Virgin Gorda’s North Sound and The Baths, west through the channel to Jost Van Dyke, and south through Drake Channel toward Norman Island for a comprehensive BVI week.
