Henru Strampe-Captain
Clara Belina-Chef/First Mate

the crew

Henru is a licensed Captain and certified Divemaster from the beautiful city of Cape Town, South Africa—a place where the ocean is part of daily life and adventure is never far away. He has had the privilege of navigating some of the world’s most breathtaking waters and guiding dives that turn “just another day” into “the best day ever.”
For him, the joy isn’t only in spotting dolphins or gliding past coral gardens—it’s in seeing a guest’s face light up when they experience it for the first time. Whether you’re a first-time snorkeler or a seasoned diver, his goal is always to keep you safe, keep you smiling, and make sure you head home with salt in your hair and a story worth telling.
With a steady hand at the helm, a deep respect for the sea, and a love for a good laugh along the way, he aims to make every trip unforgettable—for all the right reasons. Out here, the only schedule that matters is the tide.

Clara is the First Mate and onboard Chef, splitting her time between helping run the ship and ensuring guests’ taste buds have as much fun as they do. Born in Argentina and raised for much of her life in South Africa, her cooking blends Latin passion with fresh coastal flavors.For Clara, food is more than fuel—it’s joy, comfort, and a way to connect. She delights in watching guests light up at the first bite or when a meal sparks laughter and conversation around the table. Whether serving breakfast at sunrise or a seafood feast under the stars, she pours her heart into every dish.A true people person, Clara thrives on engaging with guests, sharing stories, and making every moment onboard feel warm, welcoming, and unforgettable.

Client Feedback
ON A WHIM III

Henru & Clara,
We’ve been waiting years to make a vacation like this happen, and we feel so lucky that it was with you and On a Whim!!!
This experience exceeded all expectations and left us with lifelong memories — including our visit to The Baths and the adventurous swim in and out, floats in the tube with delicious cocktails, and making the most of the weather conditions (we loved our lunch at Hog Heaven!).
Of course, the AMAZING food we had while on board! Thank you again for making this exceed our highest expectations and for leaving us wanting to come back to explore even more — hopefully with you once again!
With gratitude,
Lana & Chris

Where to begin! this has been the vacation of a lifetime and that is truly because of Henru and Clara! They went out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful vacation! Henru is an incredible captain and we felt so safe. Clara’s meals were all amazing and better than any restaurants we went to. Our group looked so forward to Clara’s meals. Even her snacks were out of this world. As I write this on my last evening, I am feeling so blessed to have met these two very special. We had such an amazing week with these two that we will request them on our future vacations.
Thank you

Henru and Clara,
From the first 5 minutes with you both we felt at ease. The one week trip was beautiful, relaxing, and a special time to catch up with old friends. Starting our morning everyday with a pleasant “good morning” and gourmet food was amazing. We don’t know how you both get so much done and do it with a smile on your face. This has been a trip Andy, wanted to do for years and it exceeded our expectations in terms of service, beautiful weather, food and relaxation. We wish you the best in what is certainly to be a beautiful life together.
Sincerely,
Andy, Diane, Judy and Adrian
