Christensen Shipyards, based in Vancouver, Washington, builds full-displacement motor yachts engineered for long passages and sustained comfort at sea. In the Exumas, that engineering translates into a stable, quiet platform ideally suited to the Bahamas cruising calendar. The fleet covers lengths from around 35 metres to over 50 metres, with interiors that favour warm American timber finishes and open-plan saloons designed for entertaining. Charter weeks in Staniel Cay run from late November through April, when the trade winds hold steady and the water clarity in the Exuma Sound reaches its finest. A Christensen yacht gives the crew the range to reach every anchorage in the chain without refuelling between Nassau and George Town, keeping the itinerary flexible and unhurried. Weekly rates for Christensen yachts in this region start from around 100,000 euros, varying with length and refit specification. The advance provisioning allowance, typically 30 percent of the base fee, covers fuel for the generators and main engines, provisioning from the Nassau markets, berthing at Staniel Cay Yacht Club, and all bar stock. Booking through a specialist brokerage ensures the right match between yacht specification and group size. The Exumas reward a yacht with range and shallow-water capability: the cuts between cays are manageable for a tender, and most anchorages are well-sheltered with excellent holding in sand.
