Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! My 50th birthday celebration this week has been nothing short of perfection ❤️ From Red velvet Cake welcoming us aboard, to all of the savoury’s, and Key lime pie, we loved every minute. You both spoiled us immensely! Having you both as our crew and our best friends along, the week was amazing!

Fabulous!! Thank you so much for a wonderful trip through the BVI and for taking such good care of us. From Alex’s expertise as Captain and Renee’s delicious meals every day, we all felt very loved and special, you introduced us to “paradise” for sure!

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”!
All our best and happy travels,

I want to express our complete satisfaction with our crew, Alex and Renee and the boat, On A Whim. It was a trip of a lifetime for our family and a great way to celebrate 60 for me. The boat was clean, fresh, fully equipped and completely sufficient for the 6 of us.
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.
