SISU Yacht Description
Designed with adaptability as a key element, we are excited to showcase a superb example from Leopard Catamarans: the Leopard 45. This model epitomizes the ideal balance for outdoor living enthusiasts, especially the convenient and appealing forward cockpit. It includes a cozy lounge area, a table for gatherings, a sunbed for relaxation, and provisions for outdoor speakers and a protective shade awning.

It comfortably accommodates all 4 passengers, allowing free movement even while sailing, without interference from the boom and ample headroom.

This thoughtful design enhances the sailing experience, blending functionality with luxury. SISU will exceed all expectations on charter!

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.

Fair winds and sincere thanks,
Mike Budreau
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.
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.
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
