The Christensen Shipyards label covers a related range of fibreglass composite motor yachts from the Vancouver, Washington yard, with three examples available for charter in Cuban waters through The Yacht Collection. Built to the same structural standards and with the same emphasis on practical seakeeping that defines the Christensen name, these vessels offer a dependable and comfortable charter experience in a destination where the ability to cover meaningful distances matters.
Cuba’s geography rewards a motor yacht with genuine range and a hull form that handles open-water conditions with composure. The crossing from the northern coast to the Jardines de la Reina involves several hours in open Caribbean water, and the passage from Havana to the eastern tip at Cabo Maisi covers some of the island’s more exposed northern coastline. The Christensen fleet handles both with confidence.
Charter rates for Christensen Shipyards vessels in Cuba run from approximately 35,000 to 90,000 euros per week. The advance provisioning allowance runs to around 30 percent of the base rate, covering fuel, food and marina fees. Peak Caribbean charter season is December through April. These vessels suit smaller groups of six to ten who want quality and reliability without the scale and cost of a larger superyacht.
From Havana’s marina, the typical itinerary runs east along the northern coast to Varadero before crossing south through the Canarreos Archipelago to reach the Jardines de la Reina, where protected channels and pristine coral reefs reward the overnight passage. Return via the Bay of Pigs and Cienfuegos Bay for a contrasting historical element.
