Christensen Yachts builds custom fibreglass composite motor yachts in Vancouver, Washington, with a consistent focus on practical layouts, durable construction and charter rates that compare favourably with European equivalents. Three Christensen yachts charter in the Bahamas, each suited to the family and small-group market that represents the core of Caribbean and Bahamian charter demand. Rum Cay, southeast of Nassau in the central Bahamas, is a destination that rewards the charter group willing to make the 130-nautical-mile passage from Nassau for the privilege of a largely undisturbed week of diving, snorkelling and exploration in waters that few charter yachts visit. Port Nelson provides sheltered anchorage and basic fuel, and the surrounding wall dives are considered among the Bahamas’ best for both experienced divers and those making their first wall encounter. Charter rates for Christensen 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. Christensen’s fibreglass composite construction produces fuel-efficient hulls that handle the Nassau-to-Rum-Cay passage comfortably overnight, arriving in time for a morning anchorage and early water entry.
