Frik Olivier

As a highly skilled and safety-oriented professional, I hold the esteemed RYA YachtMaster Offshore certification and proudly captain a 45ft Leopard Catamaran. With an extensive sailing background that spans over 32,000 nautical miles across 20 countries, my commitment to safety is unwavering.

My proficiency lies in precise navigation, meticulous vessel management, attentive crew leadership, and a comprehensive understanding of marine systems. My overarching goal is to leverage this wealth of knowledge and experience to serve as a dedicated Skipper within a distinguished charter company. I am particularly enthusiastic about establishing a presence in the BVI, where I aim to uphold the highest standards of safety, care, and thoughtful planning in every maritime journey.

Over the past 5 years, our voyages have covered 32,000 nautical miles, offering not only a profound understanding of diverse weather patterns across over 80 Latitude Degrees but also enriching our expertise in anchoring, mooring, and prevailing wind conditions. Having traversed the Eastern Caribbean multiple times, we have acquired an in-depth knowledge of anchorages and holding conditions in various regions, including the Bahamas, USVI, BVI, St. Maarten, Antigua, SVG, and Grenada.

In every aspect of my role as a Skipper, I prioritize safety as the cornerstone, ensuring that each voyage is executed with the utmost care and consideration for the well-being of both the vessel and its passengers. My dedication to excellence and comprehensive understanding of the intricacies of maritime travel make me an ideal candidate to lead and facilitate memorable and secure sailing experiences for charter clients.

Dear Frik

I wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt appreciation for the incredible sailing experience you provided during our recent voyage aboard your catamaran. As both our captain and gracious host, you went above and beyond to ensure that our time on board was not only safe and enjoyable but truly memorable.

Here are some highlights from our experience:

Warm Welcome: From the moment we stepped onto the catamaran, your warm and friendly welcome set the tone for the entire journey. Your genuine hospitality made us feel right at home, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere on board.

Expert Navigation: Your skilful navigation of the catamaran was nothing short of impressive. Your confidence at the helm and your ability to smoothly navigate through various conditions showcased your expertise and instilled a sense of trust in your capabilities as our captain.

Educational Insights: We appreciated the way you seamlessly blended sailing expertise with educational insights. Your willingness to share your knowledge about the surrounding waters, marine life, and sailing techniques added a fascinating dimension to our journey.

Attentive Service: Your attention to detail and commitment to guest satisfaction did not go unnoticed. From ensuring our comfort on board to anticipating our needs, you consistently demonstrated a high level of attentiveness that contributed to the overall enjoyment of the trip.

My wife and I have had the pleasure of being hosted by Petro, many times. Without doubt, Petro’s cooking is one of the best we have experienced.

She has a wide repertoire of cuisines and can cook a delicious meal from simple foods available, or a multiple coursed affair. We have been lucky enough to sample a range of these.

Petro is clean and personable. She has a great sense of humour but can be calm and gentle when the situation demands. She is an incredible hostess and knows intuitively what to do under different circumstances. She is very safety conscious and would not endanger herself or clients.

Her galley is immaculate, and her food hygiene impeccable. My wife has certainly noticed this.

We have known Petro for a long time and can highly recommend her catering and culinary skills, and also her as a person.

Petro will cater for any dietary needs.

Sun downers at the end of the day, tend to be mainly cocktails, and are absolutely amazing.

Petro has endless talents with her cooking skills, I’d never call her a cook but a chef, and would welcome her on any vessel that I sail as Master.
November 2023

Petro van Biljoen is a skilled culinary artist with a wide repertoire of cooking skills demonstrated by her ability to produce delicious meals from simple to fancy, single course to many courses, intimate appetizers to large groups.

In addition to her exceptional skill creating delicious food in her galley, she keeps her workspace immaculate, has a sunny and positive disposition, is an incredibly hard worker and is the most gracious of hosts. I would recommend her without hesitation for any position but especially on a yacht where she understands living in close quarters, getting along with other people, tidiness, cleanliness, and the value of a positive attitude.

As a person with many years of experience on and around yachts I cannot think of a more qualified cook and/or host. Time aboard Sisu with Petro in charge of the food is a first class experience.
March 2023
My husband and I joined SISU for a crewed charter in March of 2023. They were so kind to bring us aboard for a week long adventure. They not only taught us so much about sailing, they also fed us with the most delicious meals. Petro was our chef for our charter and she makes amazing food. We woke up to breakfasts with pancakes, eggs, bacon, potatoes, home made bread and fresh fruits. While we were eating these amazing breakfasts, Petro was already preparing our feasts for dinner. We enjoyed a delicious lamb shank dinner with homemade gravy and veggies.

She was so gracious with her cooking and the variety of foods she prepared for us. One evening we had a group of at least 14 adults over for evening sundowners and Petro made this beautiful charcuterie board with a vast variety of meats, cheeses, veggies, fruits, crackers and bread. Her food was simply made from love and her passion to serve others some of her favorite foods. Petro also made us some delicious drinks that were always island themed.

Petro was so kind and by the end of our charter we felt like family. Together they made our sailing vacation so enjoyable and gave us memories we will never forget. They made us feel very special and we left very happy with our choice to charter with them as our crew.

There was also a crew member who was gluten intolerant and Petro made sure to prepare foods for them as well.

Sincerely yours, Kimberly Budreau
