Christensen Shipyards, part of the Vancouver Washington composite yacht building tradition, delivers custom motor yachts of exceptional quality and interior finish. Three are available for charter in the Sint Eustatius region of the Leeward Islands, providing a capable and well-appointed charter option for guests seeking the quiet waters of the northern Lesser Antilles.
The Sint Eustatius charter ground rewards guests who value discovery over familiarity. The island Oranjestad has an upper town with colonial-era fort ruins and a lower town visible underwater at Jenkins Bay, where 18th-century warehouse foundations sit in clear, shallow water. The Quill dormant volcano offers hiking trails to the crater rim, and the absence of tourist infrastructure makes every interaction ashore feel genuine.
Three Christensen Shipyards charter yachts operate in the Sint Eustatius region, accommodating eight to twelve guests in four to six staterooms. Weekly rates typically run between 80,000 and 180,000 euros, with advance provisioning allowances of around thirty percent. The Leeward Islands season runs from November through April, with peak pricing in December and January.
From Sint Eustatius, the charter yacht reaches Saba in fifteen miles, St Kitts Basseterre in a comfortable passage south, Nevis Charlestown in a further half hour, and Sint Maarten Simpson Bay Lagoon in forty miles to the north. The island sits at the centre of a rewarding and varied weekly itinerary.
