Breath is a one-of-a-kind, hand-built, gaff rigged, small tall ship. When they talk about a boat with character, this is what they mean. She stands out from the crowd.
Breath is not just another tourist boat. She’s a real ship with a colorful history. Breath is the biggest boat ever to be built on St. John, USVI and over the last 20 years has become a part of St. John’s sailing lore.
Breath is a native of St. John, US Virgin Islands. She has crossed oceans, explored seas, ascended rivers in Africa, run drugs (antibiotics) to a children’s hospital in Haiti during the 94’ embargo, imported wine from St. Barths as well as calabashes and djembe drums from West Africa and tile from Venezuela.
Her captain and builder, Peter Muilenburg, has been sailing these waters since 1969.When he first anchored in Coral Bay there was one other vessel in the harbor there - an open rowboat.
