Christensen Yachts is an American shipyard based in Vancouver, Washington, that builds composite-hull motor yachts known for their tri-deck layouts, high gloss finishes and strong resale value. The three Christensen yachts available for charter around Tobago Cays bring that Pacific Northwest build quality to the Caribbean, offering guests a full-size tri-deck experience at a competitive charter rate within the Grenadines market.
Christensen yachts in the charter fleet typically span 35 to 50 metres and are built in fibreglass composite, a choice that reduces weight and maintenance compared to steel alternatives of similar size. Interior layouts follow a consistent tri-deck pattern with a lower-deck owner’s suite, midship guest cabins and a full main-deck saloon. Helm stations are raised and provide panoramic views, a feature guests appreciate when navigating the reef entrances of the Tobago Cays.
Weekly charter rates for Christensen yachts in the Caribbean range from approximately 80,000 to 200,000 euros. The Advance Provisioning Allowance, typically 30 percent, covers fuel for daily island hops, provisions and wine, berthing at Union Island and dockage throughout the cruise. Peak December to April season fills the most desirable dates six to nine months in advance.
From Union Island, the yacht enters Tobago Cays National Park through the northern channel, anchoring in the lagoon off Baradal Island. The elevated helm station is an advantage here, giving the captain clear sight lines over Horseshoe Reef. Snorkelling at the reef, a passage to Petit Rameau and Petit Bateau, and a day on Jamesby or Petit Tabac complete the core park circuit before sailing to Mayreau.
