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

Great views, great meals, great company! Thank you for everything it was an outstanding vacation that will be impossible to forget. The Breanker will always hold special memories!
Dear Marianne and Kristian. This has been an amazing week!!! The hospitality, the food and the sights were GREAT!!! Come and visit us in Lake Lure.
To great hosts! We came as a group of 8 friends from Lake lure. We sometimes call ourselves ?Lake Lure Locusts? because we came as a swarm. I was not sure what to expect, but I will never forget the great times we had during our 8 days. Snorkeling was awesome, I got to use my noodle sling (could have sold it several times) and the very good hike at the Bitter End was so great. To me the highlight of the trip was the sailing with both sails. Now for the most important part the food. We could have never imagined how good it was going to be. Our every wish and desire was granted to us. Hats off to both of you. P.S. Come and visit us in the mountains.
Marianne and Kristian ? A truly unique experience ? full of fun and adventure. You both made us feel comfortable and relaxed. The food was excellent ? a culinary delight! Thanks for a wonderful time!
Thanks you for a wonderful first time! You were gracious hosts. Food was wonderful. We had a great time. Come visit us in North Carolina.
This has been the most perfect experience. You both are very talented and made the charter so special for us. The food and beverages was top notch. It could not have been a better experience with y'all. Everything was perfect. We cannot wait to visit again. I hope I didn?t ruin your boat too much. J Thank you again.
My dear friends, Kristian and Marianne thanks for doing such a fantastic trip for us again. You two are truly the best!!! The food, the cocktails, and your company, your great Breanker ? all top top top notch. Much love to you and I cannot thank you enough. xoxo
Without a doubt over the top ? quality ? quality ? quality. We loved the food and of course the beverages as both Kristian and Marianne is very talented. We will rebook in the future, as we could not find one fault. All was perfect. We found that the other guests were also the best. They not only kept us entertained but took us to many spots in the BVI.
Excellent meals, very experienced crew and very cordial to our every needs. Breanker is a wonderful memory for us. Go Vikings!
Dear Marianne and Kristian. What a wonderful trip you made for us. The food was the best I have ever had! Obviously Bob too. You have converted him! I feel so blessed we meet you. So very blessed to be friends with Giselle and Steve for over 40+ years. This was awesome! The beaches, the views, the hospitality was the best. You all were so good to us! P.S. Plus living with Bob on his 1st trip to BVI! We fell in love with both of you!
