Christensen is a Washington State shipyard with a long record of building fibreglass composite motor yachts in the 30 to 50 metre range, combining fast semi-displacement hulls with high build quality and interiors tailored to North American charter guest preferences. The yard has delivered more than 50 custom vessels since its founding and maintains a reputation for on-schedule delivery and consistent construction standards. In the Bahamas, Christensen charter yachts bring Pacific Northwest craftsmanship to warm subtropical waters that suit their hull design well. Composite construction keeps displacement moderate, which in turn keeps fuel consumption efficient at cruising speeds of ten to fourteen knots. The Bahamas rewards this efficiency: inter-island passages are short enough that range is rarely a constraint, while the focus on exterior deck space and social areas suits an island-hopping routine where guests spend most of their time in the open air. Crew of four to six maintains a relaxed professional atmosphere. Weekly charter rates for Christensen yachts in the Bahamas run from approximately 75,000 to 130,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance adds 30 percent for fuel, food, marina fees, and drinks. Rates are strongest in the December through February peak season and soften in spring, when the weather remains excellent and anchorages are considerably less congested. Begin in Nassau for clearance and provisioning before heading south into the Exuma Cays for snorkelling at Thunderball Grotto and a visit to the swimming pigs at Big Major Spot. Cross to the Berry Islands for near-total solitude and excellent fishing on the flats before heading north to Bimini for a final night close to the Florida departure point.
