Crew Information
Captain: Janne Malmstrom
Close relationships are often developed between our guests and the crew. With some of the every-year-returning-guests we experience a friendship which reaches far outside the days of sailing. When choosing our crew we look for people with experience of life, a curiosity for other people's stories and an ability to listen. We find those characteristics important for being able to create interesting relationship between people.
Janne Malmstrom
Janne likes challenges, either it is in stormy weather or running comprehensive IT projects for the government. After thirty years of giving people the opportunity to be a part of his experiences from the sea he conveys a feeling of rough seamanship together with a warm welcoming. With Janne you never feel the atmosphere is uncomfortable or feel like a beginner a board, he explains it all to you patiently.
Kerstin Malmstrom
Kerstin´s mix of experiences has created a personality that sets an atmosphere a board built on our key phrase, customer care. She serves newly baked bread for breakfast and in the afternoon the yacht again has an aroma of a bakery. She anticipates the guests and their needs either it is a question of an extra quilt or a particular tea for breakfast. When Kerstin serves her three course meals with a smile on her face she personifies the expression "A Happy Ship".

Reviews
Excellent and amazing experience! We loved how much sailing we were able to do.
Did the crew live up to your expectations?
Yes, beyond our expectations. Janne was an excellent sailing teacher and Kiersten’s food was the best we have ever had on any sailing trip we have done.
How would you describe the food and drinks?
Food was beyond our expectations. We had gourmet meals for every meal. She did an excellent job at meeting all our different dietary requirements.
Were you involved in planning the itinerary?
Yes, we told them everything we liked but ultimately we trusted them to know where all the best spots were. We are planners in general for our trips but we have learned to play it by ear on sailing trips due to weather and usually the captain knows better spots than we could ever research.
What did you like most about your charter?
The sailing! We really loved that we were able to take part in all the workings of the boat. It really gave us a feeling of being part of a team.
Can you give me any hints as to how I can provide my clients with an even better experience?
Honestly, we wouldn’t change a thing. You answered all our questions before the trip so we were well prepared.
Is there anything in particular you wish you had known in advance?
We have been on a few catamaran/boat charters previously so we were fairly experienced at boat life. We had no idea how much fun we were going to have sailing.
Is there anything else I should know?
Our best boating trip to date!
I got a very nice feedback from my client regarding his cruise on board ICHIBAN.
"The 7 days on Ichiban were extremely enjoyable for me and my family. Janne and his wife Kerstin spoiled us. The sailing area is uniquely beautiful. The yacht Ichiban offers impressive sailing experiences. Whenever possible, the sails were set, always with the active help of my family. Janne also handed over the helm to us when we wanted it. We learnt a lot about ocean sailing without Janne's missionary approach of turning us into professional sailors.
Kerstin's culinary delights left nothing to be desired, which was not easy as four of my family were vegetarians".
Thank you so much for giving them a wonderful holiday and hope to work with you in future again.
Guest to the crew (Guests' book) : "We had an extraordinary week on the beautiful Ichiban discovering the Stockholm archipelago with Janne and his wife Kerstin. Janne is an experienced captain who wisely had us split our time between harbors and mooring, as well as sailing and motoring. Kerstin is an excellent chef whose delicious food was fresh and diverse, especially her homemade bread. We visited picturesque villages, charming harbors, isolated islets and rugged landscapes. On board, we enjoyed long chats about everything under the sun, and learned a lot about Sweden. We relished the complete comfort of the yacht and can’t wait to be back on her again!"
Ann and I and three other couples enjoyed an extraordinary sailing vacation over the last two weeks aboard ICHIBAN throughout the Stockholm Archipelago. I say extraordinary because you sailed as often as possible, always in comfort. Owning a J-46 myself, maintaining and racing it transoceanic, I see your skills are the very best. Add to this your kindness, your modesty, and humor, the result is a really exceptional experience. This is all made even better by your wife - Kerstin’s - know how and pride in the galley. She runs an excellent operation.
In addition, you helped 25 other Americans find bare-boat charters from various sources near Stockholm, making this cruise the best ever for the Cruising Club of America.
All of us involved in the organization of the cruise are extremely grateful for your special assistance.
With warm regards,
Brad"
"Janne & Kerstin,
I'm late in getting this note of gratitude to the two of you for hosting us on an incredible adventure sailing the Swedish Archipelago. Harriet and I were privileged to accompany such accomplished mariners aboard your beautiful IchiBan. Janne - your unsurpassed sailing talents and knowledge of the area are exceptional. And Kerstin - your galley skills left us in awe of what can be accomplished with the limited resources of a small food preparation and storage facility. Not only did we thoroughly enjoy your company, we also learned a lot about beautiful Sweden and its wonders. To simply say "thank you" to each of you seems inadequate, but it will have to do. Thanks, again, for a truly memorable - and educational - experience.
Kindest regards and fair winds, P. & H."

A journey on board Ichiban is all you can possibly wish for on a holiday.

A combination of gorgeous nature in the northern summer sun and sailing experience with elegance and wisdom: Janne and his collaborators are such amazing sailors, cooks and human beings. It is a perfect experience for a range of ages: from elderly to teenagers, we all learned how to have fun, to enjoy and respect a most remarkable sailing boat.
For me personally, a morning jump in the frigid waters and a day of sailing and exploring together with family and friends - all so well taken care of - are the best dream!



Ichiban is a fantastic yacht, with all the luxuries and comfort you can expect. Fantastic food, always trying to capture local specialities, prepared by the resident top chef and eaten on a beautifully decorated dining table. Little things like change of bed sheets midweek makes you feel pampered and as if you where in great hotel more than onboard a sailing yatch.
All supervised by Captain Janne, who is always ready to accommodate our wishes, running a highly efficient and safe ship."
