ChristensenYachts 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.
