Food is a critical part of any vacation experience and our customers typically want something special & memorable. Fortunately Marianne’s father was a chef and she was brought up with a love and interest for cooking. Our extensive traveling has only served to broaden her culinary horizons and gourmet options, creating mouth watering delights. Marianne enjoys cooking with fresh produce and fruits and making her healthy meals from scratch. We of course cater to special dietary needs.
We also stock bottled water, juices, soft drinks and beer in our on-deck cooler and in the bar we carry a wide variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Standard bar is included.
Thank you so much for a wonderful week at sea. As this was our first time for such a trip, you made us feel at ease and most welcome the minute we stepped on board. You are both great hosts. Marianne, what a fabulous cook you are and Kristian a most accommodating bartender. It was a fun and relaxing week with any memorable moments. “Get out of our cove”!
Best wishes to you both and safe sailing.

Marianne and Kristian what a week! Thank you for making our trip outstanding. We could not have asked for anything more. You thought of everything. The food was unbelievable and how amazed we were, when there was nothing out and then all of a sudden, out came a meal better than any fine restaurant. You took us to all the best spots in BVI. We had the best time with our old friends and our two new ones.
Thanks, Michael and Erin

Our first BVI experience and a memorable one. The trip far surpassed our expectations – from the blue water, the snorkeling and most definitely the food and service.

Marianne and Kristian. We had a wonderful time on Breanker the past nine days. After ten years of chartering in BVI we must say that Marianne is by far the best chef we’ve ever had! Your meals were a delight and we thank you enormously for the recipes. (The royalty check is in the mail). We loved the snorkel spots and especially the “Jacuzzi”! Thank you so much for the warm hospitality and sharing your home at sea with us. Wishing you good health and many great times with your grand kids.
Our very best regards, The Nobles, the Rogers, and the Morissons

Thank you for an awesome vacation Marianne and Kristian. We have enjoyed our time with you and “the Islands”. The food was excellent! The drinks were excellent!
Cheers, Teresa and Graham
Dear Marianne and Kristian. Thank you for all your warm little details during this unforgettable week with you on Breanker. We’ll never forget your delicious dishes; your cocktails and wines, your hospitality and the way you make us all feel at home during the cruise!! We all loved the sailing with you!!
Lots of love, David and Mar
Dear Marianne and Kristian, we loved our first experience on a boat. We enjoyed so very much our trip, your kindness, and your food far above our expectations. For us the trip has been a really good holiday and you being a part of it. Thank you very much, we hope to meet again in the future.
Maria and Ana
Thank you for all these wonderful days! We’ve felt at home (considering home in paradise). You are so experienced and loving that time, it has been unforgettable. Wish we come again soon. Hope we meet again here, in Spain or Denmark. Thank you for the wonderful trip and anticipations for your work, sailing, cooking, everything!!
Jose
Thank you very much. It’s been really like being with family. Everything in the boat is well maintained, the food is good and the relationship with you two is a bless. I hope to see you again not long from now.

Marianne and Kristian. Thank you very much for a wonderful second trip on the Breanker. We loved our first trip with you in May 2010 and didn’t think that could ever be topped. But top it you did and exceeded our expectations bar far. We loved all the sailing time we had this week as the weather cooperated for sailing. We loved Marianne’s Denmark lesson. I know I learned a lot about an area I knew nothing about. But the thing we loved most was being able to spend time with you during our fabulous meals. You both have so much to share about your life stories. We loved hearing all about them. We feel like you have been part of our lives for a long time. Hopefully our paths will cross again some time! Thank you, Chris and Greg
Dear Marianne and Kristian
Don’t know how but our second trip was as spectacular as our first. Just a wonderful week and I am sorry to see it end and want to send all the same sentiments as Chris on the previous page. It is hard to find the words to express gratitude for your hospitality, food, - amazing – and most of all friendship! We feel very honored that you chose to spend time with us each night. We hope you have many more years sharing your gifts with others lucky enough to find you. Please know we consider you part of our family and I am sure our paths will cross yet again. Stay in touch, be safe, good luck building your new house. With much love and gratitude,
Scott and Marianne
Dear Marianne and Kristian. We have been looking forward to this trip since we booked it in 2017. We had a fabulous trip the first time in 2010 and hoped the second trip would be just as good. You did not disappoint us! We so both enjoyed the knowledge you shared about the islands we passed and visited. The devastation from the 2017 hurricanes became so real to us we did not realize how many people are still suffering. The food you served us was spectacular. We wanted doggie bags for next week! You made us feel welcome in your home away from your house in Denmark. Breanker is a beautiful place. May there always be a breeze to fill your sails!
Love, Gary and Susan
Such a wonderful, wonderful week for a couple of water novices. Beautiful part of the world and I can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our time with Kristian and Marianne. We felt so comfortable with them sailing their “home” with us. Lovely, capable and easygoing couple. Food was fabulous. Can’t wait to do it again with the kids. Thanks so much.
Maryellen and I had a great time not water people in general, we learned about sailing and navigation. Never knew anything about a catamaran either. Food was outstanding, snorkeling, SUP boarding and shore trips were great. We went with three other couples and have had a lot of laughs. Kristian and Marianne were very hospitable and we were treated like family. Thank you for an experience of a lifetime.
