Christensen Yachts is a Vancouver, Washington builder of custom fibreglass composite motor yachts with a loyal following in the American charter market, producing 40-to-50-metre vessels with conservative exterior profiles and well-configured interior layouts that prioritise guest comfort over theatrical design. Three Christensen yachts charter in the Bahamas, each representing the yard’s consistent approach to building capable, practical superyachts suited to the social nature of Caribbean and Bahamian charter. Ragged Island, at the remote southern end of the Bahamian chain, provides a destination for Christensen charters seeking the silence and solitude that the northern Exumas can no longer offer in peak season. The passage south from Nassau is an overnight run, bringing the charter to a part of the Bahamas where the Jumentos Cays, shallow banks and empty anchorages dominate the itinerary. Charter rates for Christensen yachts in the Bahamas typically range from 80,000 to 180,000 euros per week depending on hull size and year of build. An advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent applies, covering fuel, provisions, dockage and crew gratuities. The season is November through May, with Bahamian demand peaking December through February. Christensen’s fibreglass construction produces light, fuel-efficient hulls that handle the passage south comfortably and leave a wider range of anchorages accessible on arrival.
