Experience, Experience & More Experience
We are Kristian & Marianne, and this is our business. We are Danish citizens and have been sailing together for over 30 years. Marianne holds an International Yacht Master 3rd Degree license and Kristian holds an International Yacht Master 1st Degree license. We designed and built two larger sailboats from scratch and we've sailed the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, the English Channel, the Mediterranean, the Pacific Ocean & the Carribean. In fact, we sailed across the Atlantic Ocean twice, once in a boat that we built. We have chartered boats for customers like you for 27 years in the Bahamas, Central America, and the Virgin Islands where we have been for the past 22 years.
We understand customer service and care about your catamaran vacation experience in a way that larger companies and younger crews simply cannot. Our extensive experience with boats and chartering will give you a greater peace of mind and allow you to more fully relax and enjoy your vacation.
You are the best host’s we have ever had! Every little thing you did made us feel at home and pampered at the same time. You took us to the most wonderful spots for snorkeling and enjoying the views. We love your boat and the two of you! The food was fantastic! Thank you so much!

This is difficult to put into words just how unique our time has been on Breanker and with the two of you. Your patience, obvious experience and talent on deck and in the kitchen, and your infectious smiles are unparalleled. I can only say thank you for sharing part of your lives with us. People are truly blessed to have spent time with the two of you. We share that blessing.

Safety from In-Depth Knowledge
We designed and built our first sailing yacht, a traditional 68' Baltic Trader, Nana, in Denmark in the seventies and set off in 1983 on a four-year cruise in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. We sold Nana and we started the project of designing and building Casador, a luxurious 68' aluminum sloop which became the cover of Cruising World in Feburary 2003 shown in the picture here. We chartered Casador for many years, giving us a unique perspective on exactly what makes a boat great for customers.
We used that knowledge to completely retrofit Breanker for your pleasure and safety. We know our boat to a level of detail that many charter captains will never understand.
Thank you both for a wonderful week – We are speechless!!!
I am so glad we went with you for our charter! You made the trip so easy for us but we know the two of you worked so very hard. Your experience shows and we had complete confidence in your knowledge, skill and judgment. You made us feel safe and took excellent care of our young children – our most valuable treasures!

Dear Marianne and Kristian, The two of you have given us a trip of a lifetime.
I say, as we won’t be back! But we WILL! Your command of your boat, incredible service and fine dining has given us a wonderful experience. We are so grateful! Being boat people, we understand the work and concern you have to have to run a week with us charter folk. We were able to relax – 100% confidence in you both. Some thing new for us for sure. You both have been so genuine – we love you and welcome you in to our family! We know for a fact that we will continue to be in touch. Our lives are now intertwined. So…. until we meet again…. Stay healthy and strong! Keep eating your healthy food and drinking water!
Love to you both, Ted and CJ
Today is our final day in our precious 7 days J
We had a wonderful time exploring the islands and swimming in the beautiful blue water. Before we came we thought we knew about the treasures here in the USVI and BVI… We thought is was the brightly colored fish, amazing beaches and the crystal clear water. It turns out the real treasure was the friendship we now have with Marianne and Kris. We will cherish our time spend with them and look forward to our return trips. Thank you 100000 times.

Kristian and Marianne. Thank you for a truly amazing week in paradise. You were the perfect hosts and always making sure our bellies were full and our drinks cold. Marianne, your meals were all incredible, I don’t know if I can pick a favorite but the ahi tuna was up there! Everyone on the islands was so welcoming. Jost Van Dyke and Norman island was my favorites - I can’t wait to come back and visit again.
Love, Tawnya

Kristian and Marianne. Words are inadequate to capture our feelings regarding this trip. Don and I have never been on any type of cruise but after hearing all about you from Cyndi and David, we truly wanted to experience you and the Breanker. It so far exceeded our expectations that we are still trying to process the whole experience. You have both made us feel that if Breanker was our home, as well as yours. We relaxed, saw crazy beautiful bays and islands and had absolutely fantastic food!! Snorkeling for the first time was a great experience and we can truly not wait to come back and move in with you again! We are still waiting to be adopted… We hope to see you soon (April?) Hopefully you will be doing this for a very long time!

Kristian and Marianne this was our third charter on the Breanker and we had an absolutely fabulous time. Kristian and Marianne are the most welcoming and enjoyable hosts – we would not ever consider chartering with anyone else. They always go out of their way to make sure that their charter guests have a wonderful time. Marianne’s cooking is spectacular and the meals are healthy too! Although this is only our third charter it feels like we have known Kristian and Marianne for 10 years. We had such fun every night laughing until our stomachs hurt. The trip was pure joy for us. We are so relaxed and happy that we do not want to leave the boat. We will most definitely charter with them again. Thank you both for making our trip so enjoyable and memorable.
P.S. Also I meant to mention that Kristian and Marianne keep Breanker in such good condition. The boat is always immaculate.
WOO HOO! We want to do 10 days next time!

This was our introduction to catamaran sailing and WOW was it great. From the wonderful food to the beautiful sites, it was our greatest relaxing vacation we have ever taken. You two made the experience all the more special with wonderful Happy Hour drinks and snacks. But perhaps the best part of the trip were your warm hearts and great stories. You made this vacation personal, relaxing and most of all fun! Thank you again for helping us renew friendships, make new friends, eat fabulous food in beautiful locations and experience life in the BVI. You have made this experience truly great.
Love, Dave and Tonya
Kristian and Marianne. Thank you for a wonderful week! It was so relaxing! The bays were the most beautiful. The very best part of this trip were both of you! We loved every moment we got to spend with you. Your stories were fun and very entertaining! Thanks for making us feel like a part of your family. We are already planning to come back in 2019! See you soon!

Holy cow! Where do I begin! We will begin with the crew. You two are nothing short of amazing. You work together so well that we can’t really tell which one of you are in charge! JThe food and wonderful company really did make the trip complete….because the place is the most beautiful on earth. A trip like this has always been a dream of ours and we were not disappointed. We (as you know) are now figuring out how we can get back here. We hope you will continue to charter forever, because now we have discovered sailing – we do not want to do it with anyone else!!
Love you two! Most Amazing trip ever! Friends forever!
