The vessel was originally constructed in South Africa by ETA Boats and commissioned for the crew charter market in the Caribbean. The hull shows performance catamaran cruiser lines with plumb stem sections, fine forward entry, generous full length beam, outward canting vertical hull sides and sugar scoop transom sterns. The vessel shows a fractional sloop rig and aft cockpit design. Hull color is white with black accent trim striping, black bottom, light gray decks, blue sail cover and white canvas awnings. BREANKER Logos show on the hull sides forward.
Breanker is a strongly built 55 foot catamaran, built in South Africa for offshore sailing and has sailed from there to the Caribbean, a good and fast sailor. In the Caribbean, she has for a number of years been one of the most booked catamarans in the luxury charter market, where she is still active.
She has more than enough room for the large group both on and below deck. The spacious saloon with plenty of room for indoor dining and sofa arrangements as well as a combined writing and navigation station and entertainment department with TV, video and radio as well as a bar. Also access to shared day toilet with shower.
There are quadruple cabins with plenty of space, seating arrangements and a private toilet and shower, which ensures privacy for everyone on board. Amidships to port there is also a single cabin, suitable for an adult or child. Furthermore, in the bow on the starboard side, there is a double cabin with toilet and sink. To starboard is the kitchen, which is well-equipped to that extent with a large refrigerator and two large freezers under the kitchen table.
In addition, a gas stove with four burners and an oven, and in addition also an electric oven and double sink with both a salt water tap and a fresh water tap, which gets its fresh water from the built-in watermaker that produces approx. 70 liters per hour.
On deck is the spacious cockpit with direct access from the salon. There are the two steering stations, each with its own steering wheel for optimal sailing performance. There are also two coolers, one of which is electric. The entire cockpit has a sun tarpaulin.
The aft deck has a bench with plenty of space to put on a snorkel and diving equipment which is at home in the large storage spaces in the bench. There is also an electric drinks fridge. There is easy access to the water on both sides of the sugar scoops with a ladder down into the water. Two fresh water showers, one on each side. Large gas grill mounted on the port rail.
The foredeck is dominated by two very large trampolines, with a center cushion and a bean bag chair on each trampoline. There is also a sun tarp for the trampoline. In addition, there is a built-in pulpit on both sides of the bow. On the rough deck is a large sun mattress and a built-in chair for the rough deck. Again lots of options to either prefer to be together as a group or to be a bit private.
The dinghy is a 14 foot solid bottom inflatable with a 40 HP Yamaha outboard motor.
