Christensen Yachts was born from a partnership between Dave Christensen and Westport shipyards, as the once construction industry icon looked for a yard to commission his personal boat. After several frustrating interviews at various factories, Dave decided to build it himself. Westport built the hull, while Dave did all of the finishing on his own. By the time the yacht was finished, Christensen was inundated with orders for boats and soon realized the opportunity.

Focusing on completely custom-built luxury yachts between 100-feet and 165-feet, Christensen soon made a name for itself as one of the top manufacturers every to come out of the U.S. The original shipyard was located in Vancouver, Washington and over the years produced over 120 motor yachts . Christensen was known to be a pioneer in using composite fiberglass in the construction process. In 2009, Christensen Yachts began the production of a superyacht facility on Tellico Lake in Tennessee. The facility remained unfinished until 2019, but is now home to Christensen where they have two yachts currently under construction.

Every Christensen Yacht splashed was built to the very best capabilities of the American shipyard. Only the finest materials were used and every hull would undergo a large-scale vacuum-bagging resin-infusion process for the perfect strength-to-weight ratio. Other innovative construction techniques have also greatly improved interest in the builder. For example, Christensen invested in their own comprehensive HVAC systems that replace copper nickel salt-water piping with composite piping which is easier for maintenance.

Our network of over 175 brokers greatly increases your chances of a quick sale and our industry-leading support team ensures that it is marketed strategically and successfully.

Christensen Yachts for Sale

Specializing in premium craftsmanship of composite yacht building technology, Christensen Shipyards is one of America’s biggest custom superyacht builders. Renowned for their high-quality craftsmanship and artisans’ craftsmanship Christensen yacht builds range from 115-feet (35m) to 196-feet (60m), and they have recently increased their facilities to allow for even larger builds. Christensen has delivered several award-winning yachts over the years, working with renowned designers on some of the world’s most celebrated superyacht builds, including notable vessels such as the 196-foot (60m) CASINO ROYALE, and the 160-foot (48.5m) ODESSA.

Christensen History

After retiring from the construction business in the early 1980s, the late Dave Christensen decided to build a yacht but at the time he struggled to find a shipyard that could deliver a vessel to his particular standards of finish. Partnering with Westport to build the hull, he went on to complete his own yacht’s fit and finish with great success, and so became the first Christensen yacht build. He went on to establish the original Christensen shipyard in 1986 in the Pacific Northwest in Vancouver, Washington. Located directly across from Columbia River, the huge facility comprised 180,000 square feet of climate-controlled manufacturing space and 12 large assembly bays within a seven-acre marina. The flagship facility is where Christensen constructed the majority of its almost fifty yacht fleet of up to 164-feet (50m) in length. Early in 2019, the yard announced that it was moving all production to its larger facility in Tennessee, which was founded in 2012.

Comprising of a 450,000 square foot climate-controlled facility with 13 large manufacturing and assembly bays within a 55-acre site on Tellico Lake, Tennessee, the larger facility allows Christensen to build yachts of any size without restriction. To date Christensen yachts have been built with the finest composite materials with a strength-to-weight ratio seven times stronger than steel and solid laminate, allowing for superior strength hull forms. The Tennessee facility also allows Christensen to build larger megayachts in steel.

Renowned for their high-quality craftsmanship and interior finish, Christensen builds are amongst some of the most highly sought-after superyachts for sale and charter. One element that differentiates Christensen from other yacht builders is the extent of the work completed in-house. From the elegant woodwork and elaborate stonework to the stainless steel finish and custom upholstery, the shipyard employs up to 120 artisans and boat builders in order to maintain the utmost build quality in a timely manner.

Carrying on the superb pedigree builds for which Christensen has become known, the group joined forces with Ocean Alexander Yachts in 2012 to build a series of semi-custom tri-deck superyachts. Designed with an efficient and effective layout, the semi-custom yacht series allows Christensen to deliver bespoke superyachts in a shorter build time than other vessels of the same size. With in-house experts in all fields, the fit and finish is unique to the client making for a bespoke vessel within a series.

Christensen Yachts for Sale

Renowned as one of America's premier custom superyacht manufacturers, Christensen Shipyards, based in Vancouver Washington, is celebrated for its artisans' exceptional craftsmanship and meticulous focus on every intricate detail.

Founder Dave Christensen began his career in construction during the mid-1950s, spanning until the early 1980s. Throughout this period, he constructed a variety of commercial and residential projects across the Pacific Northwest. However, upon retiring from the construction industry in 1982, his passion for craftsmanship led him to embark on a new endeavor: building a yacht. Dissatisfied with existing manufacturers' offerings, Christensen collaborated with Westport Shipyard to construct a hull to his exacting standards. Taking personal charge of the yacht's fit and finish, he created a luxury vessel that surpassed expectations. This success led to the establishment of Christensen Shipyards in 1986.

Christensen Yachts for Sale

Christensen Shipyards, headquartered in Vancouver, Washington, specialized in crafting top-tier seagoing motor yachts, meticulously finished by skilled American craftsmen to meet the most exacting standards of quality.

Established in 1985 as Christensen Motor Yacht Corporation by Dave Christensen, a seasoned builder with a rich history of construction projects spanning from apartments to hospitals across the Pacific Northwest since 1955. Christensen’s journey into yacht construction stemmed from his desire to create vessels of superior quality. Initially collaborating with Westport Shipyards for hull construction, Christensen soon expanded, establishing his own facilities and molds by 1986. The evolution culminated in the renaming of the company to Christensen Shipyards, Ltd. in 1993.

The Christensen facility was over 180,000 square feet of climate-controlled manufacturing space along with a spacious seven-acre marina. Featuring 12 expansive manufacturing and assembly bays, each dedicated to specific construction operations such as electrical, metalwork, painting, cabinetry, stone and marble crafting, and upholstery. Notably, a newly expanded bay with an impressive 80-foot ceiling facilitated indoor yacht completion before launch. The enclosed and secured marina could host up to seven yachts, while the dry dock accommodated vessels weighing up to 400 tons. With a track record of delivering over 40 yachts ranging from 65 to 164 feet, Christensen continued to collaborate with esteemed interior designers like Carol Williamson & Associates to redefine luxury yacht craftsmanship.

Christensen has permanently closed its doors in 2020, creating a demand in the brokerage market due to their incredible legacy.
