Christensen is a Washington State yard that has produced composite motor yachts since 1984, developing a strong reputation within the American ownership community for wide-beam layout design, composite hull durability and a build quality that performs reliably across Caribbean trade wind passages. Three Christensen yachts charter in Puerto Rican waters, occupying a well-regarded position in the mid-to-upper Caribbean fleet. Puerto Rico suits a Christensen charter well. The island position within the Greater Antilles places it within easy range of Culebra, Vieques and the Spanish Virgin Islands to the east, and the deep water harbors at Puerto del Rey marina in Fajardo and Old San Juan accommodate Christensen vessels comfortably. The wide-beam layout that defines Christensen production translates particularly well to the Caribbean outdoor living style, with generous aft decks and cockpit arrangements that encourage alfresco dining and socialising at anchor across a week-long itinerary. Guest accommodations typically run to five or six staterooms, with a crew of eight to ten managing provisioning and daily operations. Weekly charter rates for Christensen yachts in Puerto Rico range from approximately 55,000 to 135,000 euros per week. The advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covers fuel, food, dockage and drinks. High season runs from December through April, when the northeast trade winds deliver settled Caribbean sailing conditions and Puerto Rico anchorages fill with comparable-quality vessels.
