Yacht Description
Fresh 2024 Lagoon. ON A WHIM III is a 46-foot Lagoon catamaran built in 2024, set up for 6 guests who want modern systems and a clean, new-boat feel without going big for the sake of it.
Easy outdoor living. Foredeck seating for the daytime crowd, then the cockpit takes over with a proper dining table for six, drop-down shades, and a large Bimini sunshade. Shade matters.
In and out, fast. A swim platform and outdoor shower make water time low-friction, and the onboard BBQ keeps lunch simple when nobody wants to “go in.” Air conditioning and Wi‑Fi are there when you do.
Simple cabin plan. She sleeps 6 in 3 queen cabins, each with an en-suite bathroom, so three couples (or a family group) get equal footing.
Toys that get used. Expect snorkeling equipment, two standup paddleboards, assorted floats and inflatable water toys, plus a ZUP board and Sub Wings for a bit of variety between swims.
Broker Review
Onboard visit
ON A WHIM III includes diving right in — a great pick for a family group who love the water. The crew love setting up the beach for kids, with barbecues, chairs, games, and shade, plus movie nights on the foredeck under the stars.

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 & Clara -
We had a fabulous time on OAW3! You both took great care of us - your hospitality was awesome, the food was fantastic! So sad to leave!
♡ Lisa & Clay
Dear Clara & Henru,
thank you for an absolutely amazing time aboard OAW III. You took such great care of us with drinks, Michelin Star worthy meals, and showing us around the most beautiful spots in the BVI. Until next time,
Dagmar & Volker

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,

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
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, 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!

We had the best time ever. Thanks for everything, Clara and Henru! We will definitely be looking for the two of you when we come back again! Please let us know when you make it to Alaska!!
Chris and Janelle
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
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. You were always attentive to our ever "whim" - whether it was equipping us for a snorkel adventure, setting us up for the perfect beach afternoon or nixing up the ideal drink to take in the sunset - Henru, you are and incredible captain! 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!

We could not have dreamed up a better vacation or celebration for our mom’s birthday if we tried!! The accommodations, hospitality, and scenery was out of a fairytale - as was the food! By the end of the trip Alex and Renee felt more like family than anything else!! If only we could take them home with us (which we don’t want to return to).
We are hopeful this is one of many trips together "on a whim”!

I can’t say enough good things about the crew, Alex and Renee. The two of them made the trip a wonderful experience for all. They satisfied our visits to places we suggested and then took us to some special places, we would have never of known of. The two of them were there to accommodate us for all our needs and wants. They went above and beyond our expectations with their knowledge, care and hospitality. The meals, snacks, and drinks were delicious. Renee put a lot of care into the variety and presentation of every meal. Both Alex and Renee made it really hard to leave. We will highly recommend the boat and especially Alex and Renee to anyone and everyone.
