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!

More Guest Comments About Us...
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.
May you never lie, steal or drink. If you lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you cheat, cheat death. If you steal, steal way from bad company. And if you must drink, then drink with us because we are your friends. Being in BVI is a blessing for Giselle and I. A trip of a lifetime that words can?t explain how I feel while I am here. Each day is a special memory and because we were able to enjoy the BVI with our children, I wish they were here. I am very grateful for all you have done for us on our trip. This trip is in honor of our 40th Anniversary so we will be back in 40 years.
Kristian and Marianne. Thank you for hosting Martin and I for our first BVI trip together ? very special. We are ?foodies? and enjoyed every bite! Really delicious! Martin?s comment was ?I know now I can stay in close quarters with you for a week?. He was just kidding but it really is the closest quarters we have been in together. You also have to understand that we also work together ? just like you two. It takes a special couple to do this and you are! Wonderful week that we will remember for a lifetime! All is? gooder than good? as the Southerners? says in SC?. We are sad to go?.
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!
This has been the best 40 years anniversary trip I could have asked for and surprised Steve with. Andrew was so right, ?Best crew you can get?. Thank you for a wonderful time and that very special Champagne to end the trip. I look forward to my Christmas card this December and every one after. One day we will be back and hopefully you and Kristian will still be here and not retired! Best trip ever! Thank you so much.
Priceless memories will live with us forever. Great weather, food, drinks, family and 2 great friends You two are “the class of the Caribbean!” Thank you so much! Keep up good work – we will be back soon –
Dear Marianne and Kristian. WOW…..What to say!..... We have been lucky enough to see some beautiful places over the last 10 years or so, but this holiday takes the price for the best ever! So many beautiful places (and still so many left to see for next cruise…..!) Delecious food (every meal!) than even sometimes-defeated 4 teenagers! Great “Happy Hour” (or two hours or three) and some wonderful restaurants and bars you shoved us too. Hard not to admire what you do – not just the hard work, the professionalism, the hospitality, your relaxed and easy going atmosphere (perfect for vacation!) – but the character the two of you bring to us all. It has been a privileged getting to know you just a little bit….and a shame it will be a while before we see you again. We were all ready trying to figure out this morning when we can come back next year (Easter unlikely because of teenagers with Public exams!)….but we will figure it out, even if we have to miss a season! Love you both, thanks for a wonderful time, for sharing your home with us and for being so relaxed and welcoming with “our” four guys. We will miss you both…. Until next time….
With my grandchildren joining me on their first sea voyage, I wanted a conservative and cautious captain and mate. Our captain was so cautious, that he married his wife “ The Admiral Marianne” after their grandchild was borne! That’s what I call a cautious man that you can trust your loved ones to keep safe and give them enough fun that they would like to come back. My grandchildren are calling me to the dinner table and telling me that I do not have to write a book. Let me tell you, a book long written is well short of what Marianne and Kristian can tell!!!
2nd annual Chicago Parrot-head sail charter!
The second time was as good as the first! Both the returners and the newbie’s had a great time. The food and the hospitality was fabulous and the destinations were as well. Thank you for getting us safely to Virgin Gorda in gale force winds – it was totally worth it to get to the Baths. We appreciate the fact that you kept the sun shining all the time, even with the crazy winds. We will be back!
(Note to Kristian from Kristin: Thank you for telling me over and over what island we were on and where we were going and how long it would take to sail there!!)☺
Thank you for such a wonderful ride! We loved the sights/ the food/ the drink/ and the company. Safe home! Slainte!
Kristian and Marianne, thank you so much for another wonderful week. The scenery was spectacular, the food was amazing and the company even better. Thanks again for your generous hospitality. All the best.
