Henru & Clara,
Thank you so much for a fun & relaxing 10 days aboard OAW 3! The food was simply amazing & we loved the casual pace blended with some fun & shenanigans! So many great meals & memories, and each night the beer fairy would come to top off the cooler with tasty beverages & ice 🙂 So sad to leave your company and the beautiful waters & beaches of.

Henru and Clara,

We could not have asked for a more perfet adventure. Everything from Hog Heaven (what a view!), Scrub Island massages and especially to us getting to Anegada (which was beyond special and a fantastic day and night), it all worked out so seamlessly. We also felt so accomplished finally pronouncing Henru’s name right by the end of the week. Your hospitality was extraordinary, somehow you always knew what we needed even before we did. We were all floored by Clara’s thoughtful, healthy and creative meals. Smoothies for EVERY breakfast!! We were made to feel right at home by Clara and Henru throughout our voyage which is not an easy

task given the close quarters for 7 days. Sitting with Henru at the helm, along with Clara, between our destinations was such a relaxing experience. His patience and knowledge of boating always made us feel secure. Top notch trip all the way around. A trip that we will always remember with smiles and laughter,

Until next time,

Clara & Henru,
There are no words big enough to say ‘thank you’ for this once in a lifetime experience. We celebrated, learned new things (i saw new creatures), experienced the beauty of the BVI, and made two new friends. 🙂 you both provided an amazing experience and you make a fantastic team. you exemplify true partnership that shines through in each moment, big or small. We’re lucky to have spent the week with you and we will look forward to seeing you in South Africa (or Maine – whichever happens first!)
Until next time,
♡, Carly & Trevor

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

Thank you so very much for the best week ever! I wouldn’t change one single moment. I am so appreciative of all of your hard work. We felt so comfortable the moment we stepped onto the boat. You two are amazing and will always have a special place in our hearts. It was a joy to meet you!

Henru and Clara
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
Dan and Kate

Henru, Clara, and On A Whim III,
Thank you guys for the trip of a lifetime!!
This vacation exceeded all of our expectations, and truly it was all due to both of you. Clara whips of meals that are better than any Michelin Star restaurant! Henru organized the itinerary of our dreams and was an outstanding captain, better than any captain we would have hoped for. Thank you for making this a truly special and unforgettable week!

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

Clara and Henru,
What and incredible week we had on On A Whim! Thank you for showing us the beauty of the BVI- this place is a very special slice of heaven. The two of you could not have been more wonderful.

Clara – we are leaving this week bellies full and inspired to try new recipes in the kitchen! Thank you for the countless delicious meals. You were above and beyond! Until next time!
