Christensen Shipyards is a Pacific Northwest builder based in Vancouver, Washington, producing fibreglass and carbon motor yachts between 40 and 60 metres with a reputation for consistent build quality and layouts suited to Caribbean charter. These vessels combine spacious deck arrangements with contemporary interiors and a full suite of watersports equipment for the warm BVI waters. Charter yachts from Christensen Shipyards in the Anegada area number around three. Anegada is one of the Caribbean’s most distinctive destinations: a flat coral atoll rising just above sea level, where flamingos are as likely as guests to be on the beach and where the Horseshoe Reef provides legendary diving for those who know its approaches. The island’s restaurants at The Settlement serve freshly caught lobster, grilled simply and eaten at beach tables as the sun drops over the reef. Weekly charter rates for a Christensen Shipyards vessel in the Anegada area start near 100,000 euros in low season and rise to 300,000 euros for larger examples during peak Caribbean months. An advance provisioning allowance of 30 percent covers fuel, food, harbour fees and onboard costs. From Anegada the BVI circuit unfolds naturally: Virgin Gorda to the south, Jost Van Dyke to the west and Norman Island for a final anchorage at the end of the week before returning north.
