The Christensen Shipyards range covers a related series of fibreglass composite motor yachts built in Vancouver, Washington, with three examples available for charter in Dominican Republic waters through The Yacht Collection. These vessels bring the same emphasis on practical seakeeping, sound construction and comfortable interiors that defines the Christensen name, making them a reliable choice for a week-long charter in a destination with meaningful inter-island passages.
The Dominican Republic’s east coast and offshore islands reward a yacht that handles open Caribbean water confidently. From Cap Cana, the passage southeast to Saona Island, and then the longer northward run toward the Samana Peninsula, require a hull that maintains comfort and control in the trade wind swells that characterise the eastern Dominican coastline. The Christensen Shipyards range delivers this with straightforward reliability.
Charter rates for Christensen Shipyards vessels in the Dominican Republic run from approximately 35,000 to 90,000 euros per week. The advance provisioning allowance runs to around 30 percent of the base rate. December through April is peak Caribbean season. These vessels suit smaller groups of six to ten who want quality and reliability without committing to the scale and cost of a larger superyacht.
From Cap Cana, the natural itinerary runs southeast past Saona Island before turning north around Cabo Engano toward Samana Bay. The Bay of Samana is dominated by the Samana Peninsula, whose eastern tip at Las Galeras provides a sheltered anchorage with access to Playa Rincon, consistently rated one of the Caribbean’s finest undeveloped beaches.
