Christensen Shipyards builds custom fibreglass motor yachts at its Vancouver, Washington facility, producing yachts in the 27 to 50-metre range that are known for their build quality, their generous interior volume, and their competitive pricing relative to European builders of comparable specification. The yard has a loyal following among American buyers who appreciate the combination of American build standards and European interior sensibility. In Barbuda, three Christensen yachts are available for charter, each offering a well-organised layout suited to a week of Caribbean cruising among one of the region’s most private and undeveloped island groups. Barbuda’s Pink Sand Beach, Codrington Lagoon, and the surrounding reefs and cays provide a week’s cruising of genuine seclusion, matched to the Christensen’s practical, unpretentious quality. Weekly charter rates run from approximately 60,000 to 130,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance adds around 30 percent for fuel, provisions, berthing, and drinks. Caribbean season runs December to April. The crossing from Antigua to Barbuda takes approximately two hours at cruising speed, and the anchorage off the Pink Sand Beach is well sheltered in the prevailing conditions.
