Christensen Shipyards, built in Vancouver, Washington, produces full-displacement motor yachts that balance long-range offshore capability with interior quality standards that rival European competitors. In The Exumas, the three Christensen Shipyards yachts available for charter offer guests a platform engineered for the long passages that an extended Bahamas itinerary demands. The displacement hull handles the Atlantic swells on the Nassau to Exuma transit with composure, and the fuel capacity allows the crew to plan a week-long itinerary without the constraints imposed by smaller tank volumes. Vessels in the charter fleet range from 35 to 50 metres, with interior designs that favour American timber warmth and open-plan social areas suited to family groups and small corporate parties. Charter weeks from December through April take advantage of the Bahamas dry season, when anchorage conditions throughout the chain are reliably calm. Rates start from around 95,000 euros per week and reach 160,000 euros for the largest examples. The advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covers fuel for the displacement motors, provisioning from Nassau and George Town, marina fees, and all bar stock. The Exumas offer a compact, navigable cruising ground that suits the Christensen Shipyards profile: deep enough for the hull, shallow enough to access the best anchorages, and varied enough to fill a week of exploration.
