Captain Gideon Kritzinger    South African

Gideon started working on various day charter boats in Malta. His first Atlantic crossing was on board a 90ft classic ketch called Vileehi. During the following 3 seasons he did extensive chartering throughout the Caribbean.

Gideon was the first mate onboard a 90ft fast cruiser called Desirade II. She was a very busy and popular charter boat.  In 2004 Gideon was the captain on a 54ft Spirit Yacht that was involved in the filming of the Bond movie Casino Royal.  He spend a month in the Bahamas during the filming of the movie. He also  was the mate onboard the beautifully restored motor boat M/Y Atlantide and S/Y Shamrock V.  Gideon has sailed and raced on various sail boats all around world ranging from 40ft to 140ft. 

Gideon enjoys kids of all ages are welcome. He enjoy showing off his fishing skills, beach combing, snorkeling are a few more things I like to share with kids and adults.  He enjoy sharing his knowledge of the cruising areas, sailing, the yacht and nature.

Chef Karolina Berglund     Swedish

Karolina grew up in a house where both her parents constantly where trying to exceed each other in the kitchen, so my love for cooking and especially eating came early! 

She has been cooking professionally on yachts for almost three years now and this fall I attended Ashburton Cookery School, in Devon UK.  Karolina last position before her present position aboard Luskentyre,  was relief chef aboard Maltese Falcon and M/Y Atlantide.

Before he started to cook professionally on boats she enjoy sailing with friends while living in St Barths for 6 years in the Caribbean.  But it wasn’t until joining Wild Horses and having a really busy racing season that her knowledge grew to what it is today. She loves racing with all the adrenaline in the air!

Karolina likes to cook healthy food with fresh local ingredients. Nothing is better tasting in my mind than seafood that you bought from the fish market the same morning! At the same time a quality steak served with roasted vegetables could be heaven. 

"I do spend a lot of my time experimenting with flavors from around the world, Thai, Moroccan, Mediterranean – it all depends on what you have around you and what inspire you at that moment. Eating something simple as a clam chowder while cruising in a fjord in Maine (US) could be heaven”!
