Christensen’s marvelously-conceived yachts offer continuously refined engineering that has become an industry trademark. Under the leadership of President Joe Foggia, the builder relies on its successful years of planned strategy and buyers are taking notice. With a growing number of "A-list" owners, as well as world-renown yachtsmen such as John Rosatti (Nice N' Easy) and John Staluppi (Casino Royale), Christensen is fast becoming the choice for knowledgeable people who want a proven platform and the finest workmanship.

odessa yacht owner

Odessa features several 'firsts' for Christensen, most noticeably a splash of color. With an ominous black hull and metallic silver superstructure, it will certainly cast a shadow of curiosity at each port; if not a salute! Among other firsts; a raised coaming that starts at the bow and blends into the bridge, creating a uni-body effect. Among other firsts; all of the marble inside Odessa was completed 100% in-house, but it's the interior design that first comes to mind in this review. It's a radical departure from previous launches.

odessa yacht owner

The builder’s recent range, the Custom Series, began with boats such as Barchetta , featured here on YachtForums, followed by "Marathon" and "Lady Joy". Then came Casino Royale , also featured on YachtForums. And soon, “Remember When” and “Liquidity III” will take to the sea. Christensen's all composite, vacuum infused construction is certified both ABSXA1-AMS & MCA classifications, built to cruise anywhere in the world. Dockwise optional.

Aboard her Sundeck, overlooking the raised swimming pool at center, a multitude of seating and entertainment choices await her voyagers: indoor, outdoor, bar or lounge, shade or sun, mirrored or apart; a vast sunbathing area with capacity for the entire crowd. Something from the bar, or perhaps a little seclusion in a quiet corner? In her sparkling overhead reflection, it seems it’s always double or triple party time on Odessa.

odessa yacht owner

Openly placed on her sundeck overlooking the bow, Odessa offers what appears to be simply a comfortable sunning couch, which it certainly is; but hold on, there’s a trick to her delusions of sun-bathing grandeur: Check her out below for a revealing surprise:

odessa yacht owner

Voila! Odessa opens her heart to hungry sun-baskers, offering multiple padded seats plus a centered table for afternoon to midnight snacks, or anytime outdoor party dining. This followed the owner’s desire for outside areas which are functional and well organized.

odessa yacht owner

A slightly different view of the integral, sun-chase combo; she’s always ready when you are. The owner prescribed these various outside areas for sunshine, and also shaded areas, for his guests. See "Details" following the review for more info.

Setting the stage for Odessa’s brilliant interior design theme, this shot of her aft deck is mirrored in the rectilinear pattern of furnishings, with satin finished woods, fine weather-proof cushioning, and straight line design. Color harmony and contrast is evident in aft deck design theme; boxy ultra modern, but comfy in all aspects.

odessa yacht owner

Sheltered under the deck above, a protected overhead, yet in the open air. The trim, Armani Casa wood furniture – satin finished, weather proofed – welcomes diners while they revel in the view of island shores, away from it all. Those shimmering columns aren't just decorative, they add integral support to Odessa's overhead helicopter landing zone.

odessa yacht owner

On the top deck: she presents restrained luxury, the artful elegance of grand style. Her Armani/Casa furnishings accent the atmosphere, previewed here in the Skylounge, reveals an almost strict linear mode, rather than a family at play; seemingly more in keeping with a corporate meeting conclave. Deep, plush couch seating contrasts with black walnut flooring.

odessa yacht owner

Odessa’s step-down, skylounge bar, follows the L-angles found throughout the boat with a white onyx topped bar and chairs squared simply to the fashionable mode with darkened matrix grey set in the identical design.

odessa yacht owner

An alternate view of her Skylounge with its attention-getting, infinite seating area lined with two coffee tables and fashionable club chairs; all handsomely soft lit in a squared-up setting.

Also on the top deck, immediately aft the helm, the Captain’s Quarters presents a double berth; along with a business desk. It also features a closet and ensuite head/shower. At any time, he is a mere one step, one doorway from full, hands-on pilotage.

odessa yacht owner

With easy access to the helm, the captain’s head/shower features booked matched, solid slab, portoro stone, with a large back lit wall mirror and brushed stainless drawer pulls. Notice the invisible drain sink and ultra-contemporary fixtures, all in keeping with a strict modular theme.

odessa yacht owner

Three custom-embroidered helm seats stand ready on the bridge, overseeing Odessa’s completely equipped helm boasting every category of the latest communications gear, including SATcom, KVH Broadband Tracphone, Seatel 400s VSAT, Panasonic Telephone system, Furuno SSB and VHF, Erikson Cellular Quad Band, Raymarine Haler, Great Circle Network Access. Her Nav systems: Radar, Gyrocompass, Magsystems, Depth Sounders, GPS, Chart Plotters, Furuno Navtex with Printer; Night Vision Cameras by Ocean Systems, Zeus model. All systems: state-of-the-art.

odessa yacht owner

Odessa’s architecturally clean, centrally located, carved wood staircase sweeps down in a semi-circular pattern from the Skylounge to the main deck and lower deck. Possibly the only curves to be found throughout the vessel.

odessa yacht owner

Entering the main salon from the aft, you are met with an established crisp, lineal pattern, suggesting a strict formality, still bearing a richness of tone in fabrics and leather upholstery that invites. Squared-off lighting fixtures echo windows and seating.

odessa yacht owner

This alternate view of Odessa’s Salon emphasizes its richness of design in furnishings and choice of shades, accenting its mood towards restfulness and comfort. Deep carpeting adds to the soothing aura.

odessa yacht owner

A spectacular, lighted aquarium displays a myriad collection of tropical fish and ocean life, providing a room separator between the salon and dining areas.

  • THE CHRISTENSEN DIFFERENCE
  • YACHTS UNDER CONSTRUCTION

The Christensen Difference

A YACHT OWNER'S SHIPYARD  Nearly four decades ago a successful contractor named Dave Christensen couldn’t find a rugged, beautifully finished U.S.-built yacht, so he decided to build his own. When he succeeded, he decided he could offer the same quality and reliability to other yacht owners, and so Christensen Shipyards was born.

Today, Christensen continues the company’s original founding vision to deliver  beautiful, ocean-going yachts  to other fellow yachtsmen. Today, Christensen is led by two owners – who have owned six Christensen yachts – and are committed to elevating Christensen Yachts to new heights in quality and the building experience.

With nearly 1,000 man-years of boat building experience under one roof, Christensen offers an incomparable workforce. Each of our 120 boat builders is committed to honesty and transparency to ensure each boat is not only built to the highest quality, but delivered on time and on budget.

When Dave Christensen opened the shipyard he had a sign put over the entrance, “Through these doors pass the finest boat builders in the world.” To which the shipyard’s new owners add: “And the world’s most satisfied yacht owners.”

  • RELIABILITY
  • TRANSPARENCY

RELIABILITY  Fiberglass construction results in significantly less maintenance, freeing the crew to focus on keeping the yacht running like a five star hotel. Metal hulls often result in blistering, rust, corrosion and the growth of mold. Every captain and yacht manager knows that the success of the yacht for its owner and guests relies on its crew. With more crew man-hours available to enhance the yachting experience, a composite fiberglass boat offers a distinct advantage in overall success for the vessel.

COMFORT  Composite hulls are fully insulated, thus eliminating the “double boiler” effect, especially in warmer cruising climates, which in solid laminate and metal boats results in significant condensation that can lead to corrosion, damage of interior finishes and mold infestation. In addition, the foam-cored structure of Christensen construction provides a natural absorption of mechanical and structural energy that significantly reduces shipboard noise transmission and vibration.

STRENGTH  All Christensen yachts are built with the finest composite materials available. Our cutting-edge construction process includes large-scale vacuum infusion coupled with proprietary in-house techniques to create a strength-to-weight ratio seven times stronger than steel and solid laminate. This makes all Christensen yachts true deep water, transoceanic global explorers. The superior strength of infused composite construction is shown in the photo to the right. When balanced between two points on bow and stern inferior construction methods will cause other hulls to buckle as much as eight inches, while hulls built at Christensen have a barely measurable deflection.

TRANSPARENCY   We believe that creative people working together with a common purpose and common goals is the way to ensure superb yachts and happy, satisfied customers. Inspired teamwork is the only way to produce a world-class boat on time and on budget. Cementing that team work is a new ownership that in 2016 introduced an industry-leading profit-sharing program among its employees with a full 1/3 of its annual operating profit going back to the workforce in the form of bonuses. The shipyard's motto is "Whatever it Takes" and every quarter an employee who best exemplifies this philosophy is singled out to receive the company's WIT Award. Shared commitment, shared values and shared profit is a winning combination at Christensen Shipyards and a guarantee of our clients will get the very best from out talented and dedicated boat builders every hour of their yacht's construction. 

Full transparency is also the order of the day. Clients will never have to worry about how many hours have been spent on their boats. We offer full accounting for every dollar and every man-hour spent on the boat and are committed to maintaining an equitable balance of work versus progress payments. We believe that transparency is key to a happy and successful building experience for our clients and their project management team. 

INNOVATION  Smarter. Better. Faster. These principles guide a never-ending drive to improve both the quality of Christensen's products as well as its construction processes. The company has become a world leader in FRP vacuum-bag constriction, a process that saves time and money, and results in lighter and stronger hulls, decks and superstructures. No builder in the world spends more time in R&D than Christensen. For example, every new hull is thoroughly tested with heat guns to locate spaces where additional insulation can be added. Christensen's use of four small full synchronized and auto-managed generators-- rather than two or three large gensets-- keeps electricity from being wasted in load banks and minimized wear and tear. The newest innovations include building our own comprehensive HVAC systems, replacing copper nickel salt water piping with composite piping and incorporating easy to repair or replace compressors. Christensen's next launch, Hull 38, will feature Christensen's first truly integrated "glass bridge" a development the company believes will vastly improve the functionality and beauty of the bridge while at the same time dramatically lowering the cost and raising the reliability of the entire navigation package. 

OUR COMMITMENT IS TO BUILD WORLD CLASS SEAGOING MOTOR YACHTS FINISHED BY THE FINEST AMERICAN CRAFTSMEN TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF EXCELLENCE

METALWORK The Christensen metal department is an efficient, modern facility housing the world’s most talented metal smiths. These craftsmen create handrails, stairways, anchor pockets and myriad other stainless steel parts that are fit to precision and polished to a mirror finish. Christensen prides itself in the use of only the highest-grade stainless steel stock, resulting in exceptional finishes that will last for the life of the vessel.

STONEWORK Christensen sources the highest quality marble, onyx, quartz, granite and limestone from around the world. Slabs of stone are brought right to our facilities for fabrication. Using modern water jet cutting, sanding and edging machines, the yard’s master stone workers transform these raw materials into intricate inlaid floors, book-matched panels, and handcrafted counter tops of unsurpassed quality and beauty.

WOODWORK Christensen is known worldwide for the superiority of its built-in cabinetry and woodworking finishes. In cooperation with a client’s designer, the yard’s master woodworkers can turn virtually any species of wood into a superlative yacht interior. All of the shipyard’s cabinetry related skills including painting, varnishing, sanding and buffing takes place in modern shops with environmentally controlled finishing booths.

UPHOLSTERY The quality of the upholstery work at Christensen shows in every stitch. Unlike many yards, which employ subcontractors for the many pillows, cushions, headliners and built-in furnishings, we work one-on-one with world-renowned yacht interior designers, to achieve our client’s exact wishes.

odessa yacht owner

ALL UNDER ONE ROOF  One thing that distinguishes Christensen Shipyards is the extent of the work done by our in-house boat builders. Elegant woodwork, exquisite and elaborate stonework, impeccable stainless steel, and custom upholstery are all done onsite by our master craftsman in modern facilities, using state-of-the-art tools and machinery. By keeping as many trades as possible in-house, Christensen can maintain it's high finish standards as well as control it's production process. Using computer-driven CNC machines, Christensen can very quickly build custom components for its boats, including such built in features as exterior settees, bars, cabinets, hot tub surrounds, and Bimini tops. While other yards outsource trades such as cabinetry, painting, piping and electrical installation, Christensen is proud to offer all of the skills and trades necessary to build a world-class yacht under one roof. 

Yachts Under Construction

Christensen has two 50M yachts now under construction and available for purchase. Christensen also offers the immediate availability to begin an additional hull.
