Christensen Shipyards builds custom composite motor yachts in Vancouver, Washington, with a production history spanning several decades of American superyacht construction. Their vessels are immediately recognisable by their composite hull construction, generous use of interior glass, and a profile that is distinctly American in its proportions and exterior styling.
Three Christensen Shipyards yachts cruise in or near Turks and Caicos during the winter charter season. They cover a range of sizes from 35 to 50 metres, each benefiting from the weight advantage of composite over steel or aluminium construction of the same size. Interior arrangements vary by build year and owner specification, but typically offer four or five guest cabins, a full-beam main salon, and exterior deck space across two or three levels.
Charter rates for Christensen Shipyards yachts in Turks and Caicos generally run from 65,000 to 145,000 euros per week depending on size. An advance provisioning allowance of approximately 30 percent covers fuel, provisions and running costs. Peak season pricing applies from mid-December through late March.
Turks and Caicos provides an excellent environment for these yachts. The clear, protected waters of the Caicos Bank suit motor yacht cruising at any pace, and the passage distances between the islands are short enough to leave most of each day for swimming, diving and exploring ashore.
