Christensen Yachts, produced in Vancouver, Washington since 1984, builds fully custom composite displacement motor yachts typically between 40 and 75 metres. Each vessel is designed to the owner’s brief from the keel up, with composite hull construction reducing weight while retaining the offshore structural capability suited to Atlantic crossings and extended Caribbean itineraries. Charter a Christensen from St Vincent and you access a yacht engineered for weeks at sea, refined for the Grenadines’ warm island-hopping pace.nnChristensen’s hull form delivers a stable, efficient passage in the Caribbean’s steady trade wind conditions. Interior volumes are generous relative to hull length, with wide beams producing main saloons and guest cabins that feel apartment-like rather than nautical. Crew quarters are designed for extended voyaging, maintaining service standards over multi-week itineraries. American build standards and Pacific Northwest marine engineering heritage mean mechanical reliability is high.nnWeekly charter rates for Christensen yachts available near St Vincent typically fall between 60,000 and 150,000 euros. An advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covers fuel, provisions, berthing and crew gratuity. The Caribbean high season from December through April is peak; January through March offers the most consistent trade winds for comfortable Grenadines passages.nnSt Vincent’s Blue Lagoon Marina provides a well-equipped charter base. From there, the southward Grenadines circuit through Bequia, Mustique, Canouan, Tobago Cays and Union Island unfolds naturally across a week, making excellent use of a Christensen’s range and offshore capability.
