Captain Frik
Farm kid turned tech entrepreneur, Frik’s journey went something like this: grow up riding tractors, earn a PhD in computers/management/information systems, build and sell a company by 27… then trade boardrooms for blue water. He’s explored 106 countries (24 of them aboard Sisu), and never looked back.
A certified Rescue Diver and Divemaster, Frik is also a WWII warbird pilot, paragliding and ultralight enthusiast, and once — famously — turned his tent into makeshift elephant furniture. In his spare time, he writes novels, builds sailing apps, and co-produces the YouTube channel Sailing Sisu (16,000+ subscribers). And he still hasn’t run out of stories.
But what guests rave about most? Cocktail hour. Frik is a full-blown tiki nerd. He roasts his own spices, makes falernum from scratch, distills secret syrups, and squeezes every lime by hand. Each afternoon, he resurrects authentic 1934–1948 tiki recipes from Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic’s — the real ones, not the neon tourist imitations. Every cocktail arrives with a splash of history: who invented it, which Hollywood star smuggled the recipe, or how it once bribed a naval admiral. From Zombies and Mai Tais to long-lost classics from yellowed notebooks, sundowners on Sisu are part mixology, part storytelling, and 100% legendary.

Chef & First Mate Petro
Once a corporate powerhouse, Petro built and ran two successful insurance brokerages before swapping high heels for bare feet and the open sea. She started sailing from scratch and quickly logged over 36,000 nautical miles — outrunning most in both ambition and actual speed.
An adrenaline junkie at heart, Petro has driven 4x4s through crocodile-infested rivers, flown gyrocopters over stampeding antelope, and pulled high-G Lomčevaks in an Extra 300 stunt plane — but still makes time to be the kind of hostess who gets actual poems in guest thank-you notes.
In the galley, Petro is a true artist. Every plate is a visual masterpiece — think vibrant colors, microgreens, edible flowers — and every dish is packed with rich, layered flavor. From Caribbean-Thai fusion to mango dessert sorcery, her cuisine is both daring and deeply comforting.
And just when guests think they’ve seen it all, Petro ups the ante with three themed dinners each week:
• Italian Night — red, white, and green everywhere, candles, handmade pasta, and a tiramisu that might make you propose.
• Moroccan Night — spice-laden dishes, colorful lanterns, and a feast that feels like a Marrakech dream.
• Pirates of the Caribbean Night — treasure chests, scattered doubloons, spooky skulls, Captain Jack Sparrow eyeliner on Frik (don’t
ask), and seafood Calypso herself would approve of.
Together, Frik and Petro turn every charter into an unforgettable blend of adventure, flavor, and fun — where you don’t just feel like a guest… you feel like family.
