Testimonials

January, 2024, charter guests two of them on their 32nd charter with Marianne and Kristian on BREANKER said:

An adventure on the Breanker began with a friendly smile and warm welcome from Kristian and Marianne. Of course we immediately could appreciate the beautiful boat and the quaint cabin, the thoughtful linens and the beautiful waters and islands. I never imagined the countless amazing meals we feasted on three times a day, every day and one better than the day before! The snorkeling, the outings and beautiful trails are memories forever, but the greatest gift were the memories of complete peacefulness as you wake every morning and upon resting every evening. It’s a special peace that so easily sets in when you are surrounded by such special people as Marianne and Kristian on beautiful Breanker.

Much love and thanks,

 Jean and Monique

Well ya’ll have done it again! # 32 with # 33 complete planned/booked!! Always so good to be with ya’ll.

Kristian and Marianne – One more time for our scurvy sailors! Our “last call” with you has been as wonderful as the first, second, third and so on, since we’ve lost track of how many great trips we’ve had with you. As always, the food and drinks were awesome. We loved having a slightly different experience this time, visiting new secret spots that we never tried before. We appreciating you accommodating our plans to see our friends playing in White Bay. Your legendary hospitality didn’t fail! Remember in years to come that we would all love to have you visit us at our homes, so make your plans!

We love you both!

I will miss Breanker and the wonderful vacations we had on her, but looking forward to seeing your next adventures in retirement

Marianne and Kristian, Rob and I have been looking forward to this trip with you… a little longer than anticipated due to unforeseen circumstances… but it did not disappoint. The location we visited were beautiful, and your hospitality was beyond compare! And the food…words can begin to describe how amazing it was! If you ever get around to that cookbook, we want the first copy. We hope you have an amazing final season and that your next chapter is as fulfilling as this one has been.

Best wishes and warm regards,

Kristen and Rob 

Kristian and Marianne – We are so happy to have made it back for us second trip with you! The scenery is beautiful of course, but what REALY makes this trip and keeps us coming back is you. You two are the very best hosts and the most wonderful people. We loved hearing all of your stories and learning about your home. Happy for you but sad for us, that you’ll only have one more season – we’ll need to work on getting back!! Or maybe visiting Denmark! Or both!!

Much love,

Kristian and Marianne, thank you for having me on Breanker for the third time. BVI are a magical place that never gets old! The highlight of the trip was “our wet and wild “sail back from Anegada, drinks at Bee-line and all of Marianne’s cooking. The salmon + melon salad is still my favorite!

Dear Kristian and Marianne
Thank you for taking us on a trip of a lifetime! We have been planning and waiting for this trip for over 2 years and the wait was defiantly worth it. Your hospitality and generosity far exceeded anything we could have hoped for – the knowledge and skill you bring, combined with your kind hearts and experience made this trip to remember for always. The sailing, the sun, the snorkeling, the laughs and the delicious food are memories we will treasure forever. We cannot thank you enough for hosting our group on this amazing trip. Just don’t be surprised when we show up in Denmark for our next big adventure.
With love and gratitude

Kristian and Marianne. Steve and I travel as often as we can and rarely go to the same place twice. You are on the list for a revisit! This is one on my bucket list. Steve gets the next pick, maybe Denmark. We are water people. We just wanted to snorkel and sail. I have never sailed a catamaran. Thank you for trusting me with your boat I LOVED IT! Hope you have a wonderful time next year until retirement and I’m here to tell that your retirement is fantastic.

This has been the best trip I have ever been on. I loved your stories and your food. I can’t say enough about how good everything was. The time on the boat has made me want to learn how to sail. I hope I can bring back my son back to experience your boat with you before you retire. I don’t think there is another charter that would give this experience. I will be coming to Moen to visit too 

You two are amazing. Thank you for this time.

Kathleen

Thank you for the most amazing escape. It was more than I could ever imagined. Hoping to come back before you retire!

Marissa

This week has been so wonderful! I knew I was going to spend a week with 7 other amazing women – I didn’t expect to meet two new friends (Kristian and Marianne)! The food is so delicious, the sailing so calming, the water so beautiful. It was just so relaxing – a real vacation. Thank you so much for sharing this experience.

Karalea

I cannot overstate what a phenomenal experience this has been. It has exceeded every expectation I had. I was a a bit anxious about being on a boat for a week, and it turns out that sailing was my favorite part! It is a beautiful sensory experience that I would give to anybody if I could. The piece and tranquility of being on the water and in these special places cannot be stressed enough. The food and hospitality ar5e phenomenal. Marianne and Kristian are two of the most wonderful people I have ever met on my travels. I would recommend this without hesitation to everyone I know.

Sarah

Thank you for your hospitality and kindness welcoming us into your home. This vacation was so fulfilling and re-energizing. The trip of a lifetime is now a yearly tradition for bringing this group of amazing strong smart women together. The meals were delicious – thank you for accommodating a pescatarian! Your knowledge and recommendations were spot on! Thank you!

Jess

I have been dreaming of spending time on a sailboat since 2012 where I spend a week on a monohull in Miami. I am so honored to experience the Virgin Islands through the yes of your expertise and advisement. I hope to return with my husband and son so they can share in this wonderful experience. This tripo has inspired a lust for travel that I long to satiate. 

Thank you, Eleni

Sailing into 40…That’s what we were here to do. We set out to celebrate Karalea’s 40th birthday, and I couldn’t imagine a better start to a new decade. The food, views, drinks, company, and experiences were all fantastic! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and favorite places with us. I can’t imagine sailing with a better crew. You truly have a special experience here on the Breanker and I am very grateful to have gotten the opportunity to sail with you. Thank you for you for your amazing hospitality!

Ginger

What an amazing experience! I honestly could not even expected what an amazing trip this was…and now I can’t imagine traveling between islands any other way! You guys have been the best captain/chef/hostess/bartender pair and I’m truly amazed at the things you guys did for us but also for the last 40 years – so impressive Your knowledge of everything made this such a carefree trip! I wish you all the best in all that is come for the both of you – I have no doubt you will fill your time with all the things that bring you joy when you aren’t waiting on other people 

Your generosity to our family this week has been such a blessing. Thank you for sharing your lives, your love for the Virgin Islands, and your knowledge with us. I don’t know that we have enjoyed a week with better meals. Marianne, your meals were exquisite and were a joy to experience as a family. Thank you for creating a wonderful environment for us to sit, talk, laugh and play games. This trip will be one our family talks about for years. I will always think of happy hour with y’all fondly. I pray the rest of this sailing season goes well and the rest of your building goes smoothly. Hope your house is completed soon and you can enjoy VI sunsets from your deck.

Our first trip with Kristian and Marianne was amazing! It was our lifetime dream in what is the most beautiful place in the world, but even better, they were amazing hosts and made us feel very comfortable like you with friends you’ve known forever. The food every day made us gasp in amazement of how good it was. Marianne is a professional chef. Kristian is a skilled sailor whom puts us on breathtaking beaches only available by water.

Bringing Sammy onboard this time has added to joy we experienced when on the Breanker. Your delicious meals, drinks with or without the rum were enjoyed by all. Thank you for providing us with the opportunity to sit, relax and break bread as a family. If you ever need a song in your head….just remember our singing Sammy. Your home on Water Island or floating in Honeymoon Bay are an oasis in our busy lives. Until the next time…be well and enjoy your bare feet 

WOW! What can we say? Trip # 30!!

Another  amazing week with trip # 31 all ready in the booking! The food, as always has been delicious! The care concern and attention given by Kristian and Marianne to us and all details are never unwavering. Even after 30 trrips we still experience “firsts”! This year one of our firsts was the Leinster trail hikeup to ruins – Murphy house – where the view was beautiful across Water Lemon Cay! We did spend some nights in the BVI on Norman and Jost Van Dyke. I was a little wary of the new Covid protocols, but as it turned out, it was very easy! Again Kristian and Marianne got us through the proses without any problems!

Currently on a beautiful, peaceful sail back to Cruz Bay taking with us great new memories and looking forward to sailing again with them next year!!

We love you guys! Thank you for another great week

As always the time I spend in BVI and USVI with you and on the Breanker is perfect. We have been with you 5 or 6 times already and I still want to come back and do more. Can’t wait to see you guys again!
Kamran

I have been waiting and today saw my future room in Marianne and Kristian’s compound is one step to reality. I want my room to be sun filled and light color and purple. I am not concerned about food because Marianne is the best chef and very humble about it. At the meantime we travel on Breanker with our most favorite persons in the Caribbean. We just can’t have enough of them and have been back with them for 7 or 8 times – (I lost count) They know, observe and help my grandchildren going from middle school to today that one has his girlfriend added to the group. We love Marianne and Kristian and will be back anytime with them in this part of the world. They are seasoned, nice, considered and fun. They are the best! I have been chartering in the Caribbean for over 30 years and for the past 10 years we have not dared charter with anyone else and will be with them in the future. We always feel we are leaving our family when we head back. We just love them.
H.Seradge M.D. 
I have never been disappointed a single time on one of our charters and this time was no different. Your boat is a second home to my family and I and a nice breath of fresh air whenever we come down to the Virgin Islands on vacation. You both do an amazing job to make a welcoming, comfortable and secure environment for your passengers and I am privileged to have people like you in my life. Thank you for everything and I hope we get to spend more breaks with you in the future.
Kian

Very nice way to kick off the new decade! The warm, comfortable familiarity of Breanker meets expectations every time. All ages can have fun and explore the wonders of the Virgins. You guys are like the family that we have in the islands that we don’t visit enough. Every one in the crew loves to come and relax and have fun. We already can’t wait to come and see you guys again.

This was the first time on the Breanker and I had a wonderful and fun time. The views and adventures we went on as well as the kindness, great food and hospitality was unforgettable. Marianne and Kristian are the sweetest and loving people I have meet and they made me feel safe and happy the entire time.
Thank you, x10000, Mar

Dear Marianne and Kristian,

Everyone told me it was “the best trip ever” and sure enough, it exceeded my expectations! Thank you for your hospitality – around the clock – your patience and grace and for feeding us like kings and Queens. It takes special people to open their homes and hearts to strangers and we are deeply grateful we are some of the lucky ones to experience it and to witness the undeniable love and commitment you share with one another – a gift in and of itself. Your adopted home country is beautiful and we can’t wait to return! Thanks for letting us be part of your clan. It was fun ringing in the New Year – and decade – with you! All the best to you in the coming year. Cheers and love,
Nancy

Dear Marianne and Kristian, Thank you for feeding us. For taking us to the most breath taking snorkeling spots. For pulling out our soaking wet carpets because we didn’t know how to properly close the portholes. Thank you for going behind the bar at Sidney’s Lobster to pour us dark and stormies. For taking the dinghy to pick up dad at the beach because he couldn’t swim to the boat like he thought he could (no dark and stormies involved – just an over calculation of swimming abilities on Dad’s part) Thank you for ringing bin the new decade with us. For sharing all the stories and understanding of this place that you’ve accumulated from decades past. Thank you for helping us make some new stories of our own, too.

Well…Another voyage another great time with family and our extended Danish family. So difficult to express all the reasons that we come back, just happy that we do!

Be well with favorable seas till we cast off again.
Cheers!

Thank you so much for another vacation on the Breanker. As always the sites were beautiful, the food was delicious and the hosts were wonderful. Life on the Breanker is always perfect.
Thank you again,

I could not figure these guys and had to come back to check them out. Well; they are nice, hospitable, caring and in summery as good as mama’s milk. Full enlightment came after fourth trip. Don’t miss an exceptional time in paradise with angels Marianne and Kristian.

Wow!  Is that a record? 25-times (!!!) charter guests on catamaran BREANKER with Kristian and Marianne in January, 2018, said:

Dear Kristian and Marianne. 
These past two weeks has flown by. It is hard to believe that we have been on 25 charters with you guys since January 2000 aboard Casador. Keith Berger really summed up well why we keep coming back – Breanker is a great boat, you guys do a great job with such ease. It is a privilege to call you “friends”. Thank you for being our home base since our home in St. John was severely damaged by hurricane Irma. We have been able to get a lot accomplice in a short time.
We are thankful that Breanker survived both Irma and Maria and is in such a good shape. We really enjoyed our time onboard and look forward to # 26! 
May the rest of your season be blessed!!
Much love 
Martin and Jodie

AND...

Marianne and Kristian. 
Thank you for such a beautiful week. To be with you on Mart and Jodie’s 25th trip with you was special. As I look back on the week a few things come to mind…. There is a way to know someone by simply watching what they do. In this past week it has been a work of art to watch you both. You are amazing craftsmen in all the parts in your work and service: Economy of motion and grace with the boat, exquisite dishes on the table, attentiveness to the smallest of details in every way. That kind of pride in your craft is beautiful to see and a real part of the joy in the trip. But then there is the ease of friendship and laughter with you that makes the trip unforgettable!
Thank you so much for letting us into the stories of your life on boats and the glimpses into your home in Denmark. We have rarely felt more “at home” with people we just met. But thank you for a beautiful week. Breanker is a beautiful boat and you both are a grace to the islands.
Thanks again,
Keith and Page

25 times on charter with Kristian and Marianne - This calls for champagne!

25x


23rd Charter! WOW! Guests aboard catamaran BREANKER for their 23rd charter with Marianne and Kristian said...

Dear Kristian and Marianne, 
Well, on our 23rd trip now you are still introducing us to “firsts”. The overnight in Honeymoon Bay with the world-class musicians on Water Island was fantastic. It’s very rare (unheard off) to go to Carnegie Hall in shorts and flip-plops! And then to Maho Bay on St. John to Marina Cay to Leverick. Thank you for joining us at Hog Heaven – what a view! Then to Anegada – thank you for spending the afternoon at Loblolly Beach, gorgeous, especially watching the breakers on the reef. Back on Breanker for snacks and adult beverages – I still can’t believe that sunset – incredible!! Have you ever seen the ocean that still? 30 feet of water and we could see the starfish on the ocean floor. Long smooth ride to Green spit Friday, another first with the wind mostly from the northwest. Then our last night on board anchored in front of the Bee Line. Okay, so I’ve written too much. It was a great trip! Oh, and the food, as always, was gourmet. Hope to be with you guys again soon!
Love 
Martin and Jodie
P.S. I forgot to mention the lobster dinner with you guys at Anegada Reef Hotel – It was wonderful! Thanks again.
