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

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

Well, we?ve had another wonderful trip?. with friends this time. Thank you so much for taking such good care of all of us ?old folks?!! Again we couldn?t have asked for any thing better?. food, hospitality, graciousness? all just right. Thank you especially for the lobster bisque and the wonderful lamb chops!! The only problem was we had to wait 6 weeks before we could be back onboard with y'all. Love to you both and wishes for a successful end of season.
Dear Kristian and Marianne. Thank you so much for your kind hospitality. You two are gracious hosts who made us feel at home and so very welcomed. We have all had a wonderful time this week with ya?ll on Breanker and are so looking forward to seeing you again for another smooth sailing vacation. You two are such a wonderful team with great food, wonderful sailing and delicious blueberry cheesecake to boot! (Hopefully Scott can make it next time.)
Kristian and Marianne, where do I start? This has been a wonderful week. From the moment we stepped onboard our every need and want has been taken care off. All meals were wonderful, coves spectacular and the company was great! It will be extremely hard to step back into reality next week. Thank you for a wonderful trip!! We look forward to returning!
Kristian and Marianne, It is hard to describe in words how wonderful this past week has been. It truly has been a dream vacation! Your hospitality and all your efforts to provide such an exciting and wonderful week is so appreciated! Our meals were delicious and served with such beautiful flair. 11 years ago Rex and I were in Tortola and saw boats like this in various areas we visited. It looked like the guests were having so much fun. Even with such a memory I could not imagine just how wonderful this week truly would be! It has been a trip of a lifetime!! Thank you!!
Kristian and Marianne, from the moment we stepped onboard have been amazing! Our rooms were very comfortable and clean. The food was incredible?. Every meal was wonderful. Beautiful snorkeling and sailing was great. What we liked most was the personal experience with both you and Kristian. This was a once in a lifetime but hoping to do it again soon. Thanks so much for the great hospitality and experience.
On behalf of all of us, I will start by saying thank you a million times for such a great week! You are masters at your craft and have toured and fed us to an incredible state of bliss. Clada and I have done this several times before and you have raised the bar, to a new and very high level?. Thank you so much! Your boat lay out is out of this world!!!
Kristian and Marianne, thank you for a week in Shangri-La!! Smooth sailing, DELICIOUS food, always a smile and great stories. The Breanker is Heaven. You showed us the best BVI, but your warm style added to the special feeling. It was an absolute pleasure to sail with you ? many, many thanks!
The ?whistling 8? of February 2016 are so grateful to Marianne and Kristian for a week filled with many laughs, great food and?. ? the chance to observe their seamless dance as they worked together in every aspect of this week ? their extreme knowledge of the BVI and their ability to customize our trip, showing us the best spots, and their beautiful timing which allowed us to do a lot of activities without ever being rushed ? We loved Marianne?s ?story time? ? we loved the quiet sailing ? we appreciated their professionalism and attention to detail which created a relaxed, safe atmosphere ? Mil was appreciative that there was no judging on the amount of alcohol we consumed J Thank you for making each of us feel so special! ? P.S. Sorry about the fishing line x 2?.
Kristian and Marianne, What an amazing week! Thank you so much for sharing your boat with us. We loved the amazing food. Marianne, you are a great cook. Great places to snorkel. Just loved everything J
Kristian and Marianne, Thank you, thank you, thank you. My husband and I have traveled to many places and experienced many hosts. You by far are our favorite. As first time sailors you?ve made this the best experience ever. Your food was to die for and we are very picky about food quality. Every island stop we made you made it so easy and delightful to get around and enjoy. Our rooms were delightful for a 6?6ft man and his 5?10 wife. Your home (boat) felt like home and you made us feel so welcome! I could recommend your charter or this experience to anyone and know they would be in good hands. Thank you so much for such a beautiful, happy and enjoyable vacation. I feel honored to have met you and hope we meet again ? in Denmark or back on Breanker ? we may have small babies next time but you already promised that was OK! xoxo
