This magnificent yacht with its bold red, white and blue exterior motif symbolizes American strength and perserverance, both halmarks of the Christensen brand. The owners of D’Natalin IV were wonderful to work with and are true American patriots for investing in such a beautiful Christensen yacht. We truly appreciate where we are today, because of our valued customers.” Joe Foggia Christensen Shipyards, Ltd.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/149514/image/large-8efe50bcfb8f03892b112b6cfa351392.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/149514">The yacht’s owner commented “Christensen outdid themselves in delivering the most advanced yacht in their history! My family and our project lead, Christian Bakewell, worked very hard with the designers and engineers to get the details right. I could not be more pleased with the results. The layout of her four spacious decks make D’Natalin IV the most comfortable yacht I have ever owned, and I never get tired of staring at her beautiful blue hull”.“From the outset this was to be a family yacht, so it was only fitting that the owner and his entire family were involved in every important design decision. Because they are such gracious and appreciative people, there was this very real sense among the entire build team that everyone just wanted to work that much harder for them. Seeing the broad smiles on the faces of the whole family as we walked through the finished product together for the first time was a very gratifiying experience for me”, said Christian Bakewell of Merle Wood and Associates.“There was this great collaborative experience in meetings with the owners which allowed us to integrate their love of the traditional with more contemporary styling cues…the final design is elegant, yet inviting and comfortable”, commented Carol Williamson of Carol Williamson &amp; Associates.By Maarten Janssen

All in an effort to create yachts that allow them to operate universally and trouble-free while using them, as well as commanding the strongest re-sales in the industry when it's time to move on. With the advantage of being vertically integrated, and implementing Lean Manufacturing over the last couple years, we feel we are producing yachts that are the best quality and value per square foot in the world, for their class.
