Christensen Shipyards produces custom fibreglass motor yachts at its Pacific Northwest facility, with decades of experience building large, seaworthy yachts that meet the demands of extended bluewater cruising. The yard’s yachts are known for their structural integrity, generous beam, and a practical approach to interior arrangement that prioritises liveable space over decorative complexity. In Barbuda, three Christensen Shipyards yachts are available for charter, each offering the space and reliability that a week of genuine Caribbean island-hopping requires. Barbuda’s Pink Sand Beach, Codrington Lagoon, and the surrounding uninhabited cays provide a cruising ground perfectly matched to this type of practical, well-found motor yacht. The island’s almost total absence of tourist infrastructure means that yacht charter is one of the few ways to experience Barbuda at its most rewarding, and a Christensen Shipyards vessel is capable of anchoring and operating in the relatively shallow, reef-fringed waters of the western coast with confidence. Weekly charter rates run from approximately 60,000 to 130,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance adds around 30 percent for fuel, food, berthing, and drinks. Caribbean season runs December to April.
