Christensen, the Vancouver Washington yard, builds fully custom fibreglass motor yachts with an American craftsmanship and a layout designed for comfortable long-range cruising. Three are available for charter in the Sint Eustatius region of the Leeward Islands, in the forty to fifty-metre range, offering a well-equipped and characterful charter experience suited to the quiet waters around the Golden Rock.
Sint Eustatius is one of the Caribbean most unusual charter destinations. The small Dutch island has no cruise ships, no resort hotels and a pace of life shaped by its colonial past as the most important free port in the 18th-century Atlantic world. For guests aboard a Christensen charter yacht, the island provides a genuinely different experience from the busier Leeward Islands destinations, with good diving at Jenkins Bay and hiking to the rim of the Quill volcano as shore activities.
Three Christensen charter yachts operate in the Sint Eustatius region, accommodating eight to twelve guests in four to six staterooms. Weekly rates typically range from 80,000 to 180,000 euros, with advance provisioning allowances of thirty percent covering fuel, food, berthing and drinks. The Leeward Islands season runs from November through April.
From Sint Eustatius, the Christensen fleet can reach Saba in fifteen miles, St Kitts Basseterre in a comfortable morning passage south, and Sint Maarten Simpson Bay in a half-day run north. The island sits at a useful geographic pivot for a full Leeward Islands week.
