Christensen Yachts, the Vancouver, Washington builder that produced semi-custom motor yachts through more than two decades of operation, created a loyal following among North American charter guests who valued the yard’s combination of generous interior volume, owner-specified layouts, and the practical engineering culture of the Pacific Northwest. Three Christensen yachts are available for charter in Jamaica, typically in the 40 to 50 metre range, providing a well-appointed American motor yacht experience in one of the Caribbean’s most distinctive island settings.nnChristensen’s hull forms, semi-displacement and planing types, suit Caribbean inter-island passages well, providing the speed to transit between Jamaica’s main ports and the range to reach nearby island groups without concern. The interiors, always custom to the original owner’s brief, deliver the domestic comfort that distinguishes American yacht design: wide galleys, generous master suites, and the kind of saloon that feels like a home rather than a hotel lobby.nnWeekly rates for Christensen charters in Jamaica range from approximately 40,000 to 95,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance adds around 30 percent and covers fuel, provisions, crew costs, and Jamaican port fees at Montego Bay and Port Antonio. North American demand drives the charter market for American-built vessels like Christensen from November through April.nnMontego Bay’s Sangster International Airport provides direct connections from North American cities, making it a natural arrival point for Christensen charters. Port Antonio, Ocho Rios, Negril, and the offshore reefs along the north coast provide the week’s itinerary structure.
