We are parents and grandparents so we love children and know how to help children have the time of their life on a catamaran vacation while ensuring that they remain safe.
Come and visit us some time in Pittsburg. We cannot thank you enough! We liked every thing, we might come back. We really liked your food! We all liked your cheesecake. Cam really liked it so did Patti/mom and Ann and especially me, Lauren. We will miss you guys.

We enjoyed our trip to the BVI’s. We appreciate the countless painkillers you made with us along with all the other stuff you did for us. We hate to leave because we have had such a great trip and we hope to join you on another vacation soon. Thank you for showing us some great sights on all the little islands you took us to. It was a great trip we will never forget.

Thank you so much! I had a wonderful time, this was an awesome trip (one of the best)! I LOVED the food and the drinks, the snorkeling, the beaches and the water was great! It was very fun sleeping on the boat, especially with the rocking! I hope we get to come back.

To Marianne and Kristian, thank you a lot! I liked this trip a lot! The swimming was really nice (and wet). Again thanks!
From Maggie (age 9)
This was my favorite vacation. I loved every thing. The food, places and the boat, and most importantly the crew. I’ve never had a tuna steak before but I loved it. Breakfast was great with all the fresh fruit and food. The lunches were perfect after a day of swimming and the dinners were things I would never had thought of having. THANK YOU!

We have had the most wonderful relaxing week with you. I can’t wait to come back. Your gracious hospitality has won our family’s heart. You both are such gentle genius people. I will always have fond memories of this trip with you, especially since you stole my son, Arthur’s heart with your fabulous meals and your caring spirit. Kristian, you are such a gentle person. It was a pleasure spending the week with you and see how you calmly handled your boat and every situation we encountered. Many thanks for the introducing our family to the BVI way of life! We’ll be back!
Fondly, Arthur, Carlton Arthur and Dudley
Come see us in the mountains! P.S. You are a fabulous cook Marianne

Dear Marianne and Kristian. Thank you for an incredible experience. It’s been amazing. Every thing was better that expected. The boat was brilliant, the islands was beautiful and the food was to good to be true. You are both extremely welcoming and hospitable, I really felt at home. I just hope I wasn’t to much trouble. In my gap-year I would love to be able to visit for a while and say hi.
Hope all continues to go well.
Thank you
Dear Marianne and Kristian. Hearing that we were going to be on a boat for the most part of our vacation exited me greatly, and it did not disappoint. The food was superb and the drinks were amazing! – especially Kristian’s painkillers. We have had the honor of visiting some brilliant islands and reefs. The atmosphere and warmth on this boat have been very special, and you are both lovely, caring people.
Thank you for a brilliant week.
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….
I love the food it is awesome. It was so fun.
From all of us, thank you for welcoming us into your world and home. The seas, dives, Happy Hours and meals were all superb – only surpassed by the graciousness of our hosts. We are lucky to be able to call you friends. We had a wonderful time! Thanks for all the hard work and the hospitality to make our vacation fun! We love you!! Waiting to return soon…. (your favorite 3rd grader Greg!!!) Hope to see you both again
Thank you for having me! I really enjoyed the food and all of the beautiful sites. I loved getting to do different things and meeting new people. I love you guys! I love the beach!
P.S. Kristian I loved sailing! I am going to get my sailing license.

“Heaven on a plate” – Marianne’s food
Thank you so much for taking us to amazing snorkeling spots and windy sailing. The food was amazing and I hope we can come again next break.
Thank you for teaching us how to make conch fries.
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!!!
Thank you for the excellent pasta.
