Christensen is a Washington State shipyard that has built composite motor yachts since 1984, producing wide-beam vessels in the 40 to 55 metre range with generous interior volume and refined engineering. Jamaica provides one of the Caribbean basin most varied charter backdrops, where volcanic peaks, reef-edged bays and rum-port culture give a Christensen charter genuine depth beyond the anchorage. The Jamaican fleet includes three chartered Christensen yachts, a compact and well-curated selection. These are not entry-level vessels. Christensen builds for owners who want American craftsmanship with a European sense of space, resulting in full-beam main saloons, wide aft decks and lower decks with five to six private staterooms finished in warm timbers and custom joinery. A professional crew of eight to ten handles everything from Jamaican provisioning and shore excursions to watersports and formal dining under the stars. Weekly charter rates for Christensen yachts in Caribbean waters typically range from 55,000 to 135,000 euros, depending on vessel length. An advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covers fuel, food, dockage and beverages consumed during the week. High season runs from December through April, when Caribbean sailing conditions are at their most settled and anchorage demand peaks. May and June offer quieter harbors and competitive pricing across the same quality fleet. Christensen yachts departing Montego Bay can reach the Blue Lagoon at Port Antonio in a comfortable two-day passage, with stops at Ocho Rios and north coast reef anchorages. The combination of Pacific Northwest engineering and Jamaican warmth makes for a charter that stays in the memory.
