Founded in 1983, the original yard was located on a 7-acre (2.8 ha) marina, containing 180,000 square feet (17,000 m2) of climate controlled manufacturing space. Sister company RECS (Renewable Energy Composite Solutions) occupied 10,000 square feet (930 m2), manufacturing wind turbine and hydrokinetic composite component fabrication.

In 2012, the company began construction of a 450,000 square feet (42,000 m2) climate controlled manufacturing facility on Tellico Lake, close to Knoxville, Tennessee, capable of construction of yachts of over 200 feet (61 m) in composite or steel. To this date this building has not been completed and sits unfinished.

Christensen's Vancouver facility was purchased by Portland-based Vigor Industrial in 2019. The last yacht at Christensen's Vancouver facility was completed in June 2019.
