Christensen Shipyards builds custom fibreglass composite motor yachts in Vancouver, Washington, producing 40-to-50-metre vessels with a following built on consistent quality, practical layouts and rates that compare favourably with European equivalents of similar length. Three Christensen Shipyards yachts charter in the Bahamas, each suited to the family and social group charter market that the region attracts from November through May. Ragged Island, far to the south of the main Nassau charter circuit, gives a Christensen Shipyards charter access to a less visited part of the Bahamian archipelago, where the Jumentos Cays, open banks and blue holes near Andros remain largely free of the traffic that concentrates around Staniel Cay and Nassau in peak season. The passage south from Nassau is an overnight transit, bringing the charter to waters that reward careful navigation and a curiosity for the undiscovered. Charter rates for Christensen Shipyards yachts in the Bahamas typically range from 80,000 to 180,000 euros per week. An advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent applies. The season is November through May, with the busiest weeks falling in January and February. Christensen’s fibreglass composite hulls are efficient and capable, covering the Nassau to Ragged Island passage with ease and leaving range for extended exploration once on location.
