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!

Thank you for another wonderful week of beautiful sites, laughter, catching up and wonderful food. Your hospitality and attention to detail to create an outstanding experience. Although the islands are damaged there is resilience and welcoming at all the places we visited. The water is beautiful and beaches are still paradise. This is still our happy place
Much love and hugs, Jenny and Mary-Jo
Marianne and Kristian. This is our second time on Breanker and we had a blast! We were so glad that Breanker survived the 2017 hurricanes. The ocean is still blue and the people are so welcoming. Thank you both for a wonderful stay aboard Breanker. You are both amazing and made our stay so comfortable. Thanks for the fabulous food and great sailing. We WILL be back!

P.S. We hope that you will do a Breanker cookbook!!
Marianne and Kristian. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I have been hearing about your charters from friends for a few years and was so exited to be able to finally experience sailing with you for myself. I had high expectations for a fun time, great views, amazing food and the best company…. You exceeded ALL of my expectations! It is obvious you both work very hard and have a large amount of passion for everything you do. The attention to details, organization and planning is amazing. Full bellies, yummy drinks and the most fun I’ve ever had on a trip, are all thanks to you two. Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us and just know I will be back again!!!

To Mr. and Mrs. M.
Thank you for being an amazing couple, caretakers and now new friends. You have shown me a new wonderful world and moreover I have enjoyed each and every second of the experience. Thanks for expanding and blessing my world.
Cheers to the next trip, Jessica.
Kristian and Marianne. This is our 4thtime aboard, and we never get tired of you! Again your amazing hospitality, sailing skills and great food made for another wonderful BVI trip. Now we ad to the list of compliments, your survivor skills. 40 knots wind tore both the awnings – and out comes the sewing machine to fix them! WOW – you’re prepared for anything! And I have to mention how impressed we were that you two can sew together – quite the teamwork!
Till next time – xoxo Cheryl and Don
