Christensen Yachts is an American builder based in Vancouver, Washington, producing fibreglass and carbon composite motor yachts between 40 and 60 metres. The yard is known for contemporary interiors and a consistent build standard that has made it popular with American charter clients who want recognisable quality without the premium of the European superyacht yards. Charter yachts from Christensen available in the British Virgin Islands number around three, suited to parties of ten to twelve guests with professional crew of six to eight. The BVI’s 60 islands and cays provide an itinerary that changes entirely depending on weather, pace and the group’s preference, and a Christensen’s range and stability make all options straightforward. Weekly charter rates for a Christensen in the British Virgin Islands 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. Road Town on Tortola provides the main provisioning base, with fuel, supplies and technical services readily available for visiting charter yachts throughout the season. From Tortola the circuit runs to Virgin Gorda in the east, north to Anegada for those willing to navigate the reef approach, west to Jost Van Dyke and south through Drake Channel to Norman Island and Peter Island.
