Taking the helm of PERPETUAL BLE this season are veteran charterers Capt. Sean Powell and Chef/Mate Henry Klopper, both from South Africa

Kendrick Oppenhuizen, Captain

Kendrick Oppenhuizen

Captain

American · Speaks English

Captain Kendrick Oppenhuizen
Captain Kendrick is an accomplished sailor with a deep passion for exploration, adventure, and life at sea. Most recently, he completed a solo transatlantic crossing from Florida to Scotland aboard Spindrift, his Southern Cross 35, marking a major milestone in his lifelong dream of sailing solo around the world. Now taking a brief pause from that pursuit, Kendrick is excited to return to the Caribbean for an unforgettable charter season.

A native of California, Kendrick grew up racing dinghies and instructing sailors from a young age, including adaptive sailing for individuals with disabilities. He also served as a volunteer Watch Leader aboard tall ships in Canada, an early introduction to leadership and seamanship that helped shape his career. With over 20 years of experience teaching sailing at all levels, from beginner dinghy sailing to offshore cruising, he brings both expertise and patience to every voyage.

Kendrick earned his sea legs running charters in California’s Channel Islands before working several seasons in the British Virgin Islands. His love for island life is matched by his enthusiasm for exploration, whether discovering hidden coves, hiking lush island trails, scuba diving vibrant reefs, or tracing historic routes once sailed by pirates evading the Royal Navy.

An avid traveler and reader, Kendrick has a special love for remote and wild places. Personal highlights include backpacking the Isle of Skye, snorkeling with sharks in Tahiti, and sailing through the Western Isles of Scotland.

For Kendrick, nothing compares to dropping anchor in a quiet bay and sharing stories and laughter as the sun sets over the sea. With a spirit of adventure and deep respect for the ocean, he invites guests to experience the magic of sailing and the timeless charm of the Caribbean.

Chef Mia Jackson
Chef Mia brings a beautiful balance of culinary expertise and a deep love for the ocean to every charter experience. Her journey to becoming a yacht chef has been shaped by two lifelong passions: the professional kitchens where she trained and the sailing adventures that have taken her across oceans.

Mia began her culinary career as the sole cook in a busy children’s nursery, preparing nutritious, balanced meals for up to 40 children daily. This role honed her ability to meet a wide range of dietary needs, including allergies, intolerances, and specific preferences, with care, creativity, and flexibility. It was there she developed a foundational skill that remains a hallmark of her cooking today: crafting menus that are both accommodating and inspired.

She later earned her SVQ Level 4 in Professional Cookery while working in award-winning restaurants, where she fine-tuned her attention to detail, flavor, and presentation. These years instilled a love for high-quality cooking and the joy of delighting others through food.

Sailing has always been in Mia’s blood. As a child, she sailed halfway around the world with her family, sparking a lifelong love for the sea. In recent years, she has logged more than 6,000 nautical miles aboard both monohulls and catamarans, sailing from South Africa to the Caribbean. Along the way, she mastered provisioning in remote locations, using local ingredients creatively, and preparing comforting, flavorful meals in challenging conditions.

For Mia, cooking on a yacht is about more than food; it is about creating unforgettable moments. Whether serving breakfast at anchor, vibrant sharing plates after a swim, or a beautifully plated dinner under the stars, she takes pride in tailoring each dish to guests’ tastes and needs.

When she is not in the galley, Mia enjoys being on deck, hiking ashore, or unwinding with good music and a book. Her calm presence, passion for service, and love of land and sea make her an exceptional addition to any charter.

July 2026

Captain Kendrick and first mate/chef Mia were very helpful with our initial Zoom meeting before the trip. They were very thorough in discussing food and drink options, as well as island locations.

Captain Kendrick was phenomenal. His knowledge of the islands and great snorkeling spots was incredible. First mate/chef Mia was outstanding. Her food was delicious, healthy, and beautifully presented. Chef Mia presented amazing meals, and everything was delicious and beautiful.

We couldn’t ask for a better crew! Thank you to both Captain Kendrick and Chef Mia. They made our trip extra special.

We loved the cruising area! There were really good snorkeling spots and a lot of time in the water. We loved the additional hiking Captain Kendrick showed us. He was so attentive and made us feel safe at all times.

We wish we could come back next week, but it will probably be a few years to save up for this type of trip. Truly a trip of a lifetime.

Kendrick and Mia - Thank you for a wonderful week here in the BVIs. We appreciate all your hard work and for taking such good care of us this week. There are so many things to highlight but what was very special were all the special places you took us. Each beach was gorgeous. We appreciate the professionalism and expertise you demonstrated each day, each meal, and each destination. You both made it so worry-free. That made for a very special time for us and so we could relax and enjoy this beautiful place.

With gratitude, Matt

Kendrick and Mia - you both are such professionals at what you do… from guiding us safely through the islands to providing beautifully prepared and nutritious meals! Thank you! You compliment each other and work seamlessly as a team. It was fun listening to you share your stories and on the flip side you showed a genuine interest in all of us. We could wholeheartedly recommend your charter to others! Thank you, thank you!

I could stay another 10 days with Captain Kendrick and Chef Mia!! This is my third time catting the BVI and the crew makes all the difference. Captain Kendrick and Chef Mia were over-the-top fabulous. From adjusting to our timelines, long talkative dinners, to our pranks and many personalities.

So much to give kudos to on this trip! All the islands and adventures, including going into deep water with horses. galloping multiple times down Anegada beach, and our great tour guide Captain Kendrick driving us around in the back of a truck!!

At the baths, Captain Kendrick timed the visit perfectly, keeping them mystical as we explored without people pressure.

From jumping off Willy T’s, to dancing all night at Saba Rock, to making my birthday and our friends’ anniversary super special. From sailing, to partying at Soggy Dollar to the “party decorated” table.

Chef Mia’s creations I will crave! We hope to sail with Chef Mia and Captain Kendrick next year!

Thank you, thank you, thank you BOTH!

Hugs, Kimberley❤️

Kendrick and Mia - Absolutely incredible. Far above my expectations. This trip was a great way to return to the BVI since our first time in 1992. You both worked endlessly to make our trip enjoyable - and you made it look effortless when it wasn’t. Thank you for sharing your favourite co Ed and beaches, feeding us the most delicious and beautiful meals, taking out the water toys, mixing drinks and pouring wine, and keeping nine people busy on multiple excursions each day. Fair winds and smooth sailing!

Kendrick and Mia, what a fantastic sailing trip. It was my first but not my last! The food was incredible – really loved the fish tacos and sweet rolls. And the desserts!!! Thank you both so much for everything you did to make this a fantastic trip that I will think of often. Kendrick - you were so patient with all of us and answering all our questions. I felt very safe and well taken care of. And you still hold the #1 spot for painkillers in my book.
Love to you both, Anne

We had the most unbelievable experience on Perpetual Blue. Captain Kendrick’s hospitality and easy going nature made us feel rights at home. Loved the nightly captain’s cocktails and his ability to steer into fun. Also we felt safe with him ❤️. Mia’s meals, snacks, desserts were incredible. Her thoughtfulness was seen at every meal. She is truly a talented chef. It’s amazing to watch her work, it looks effortless… even though we know it is not!

Kendrick and Mia, tho I’d past week was a trip for healing and reflection having lost the love of my life this year. We loved our BVI trips together and so I was able to honour my guy on this trip. Thank you for helping me with special touches like limoncello and Reese’s peanut butter ice cream. So professional. So kind. Such an epic adventure - Anegada, the Bitter End, Soggy Dollar, Willy T’s and dancing at Foxy’s were a blast. Turtles, dolphins, rays and tons of snorkelling - plus evening dances on the patio - all were complemented by phenomenal sunrises and sunsets! The meals were remarkable - so full!
Thanks for a wonderful adventure!

December 2025

Our time on board Perpetual Blue with Captain Kendrick and Chef Mia was nothing short of extraordinary. As a boating family, a catamaran like this has always been a dream of ours and this experience didn’t just meet that dream, it exceeded it in every possible way!
Chef Mia is truly exceptional. Her vegetarian cuisine was creative, thoughtful and absolutely delicious. It was perfectly tailored to our preferences and needs. Every meal felt special - beautifully prepared, nourishing and full of flavour! It was such a gift to feel completely cared for and to enjoy the food that was simply indulgent and artistic!
Captain Kendrick is the kind of captain that you hope for but rarely find - skilled, calm, fun and up for any adventure. From epic days on the water to awesome snorkelling spots to one of our favourite ever: Christmas carolling by dinghy, boat to boat, spreading joy across the bay we were anchored in. It was magical, spontaneous and unforgettable - exactly the kind of moment that turns a vacation into a lifelong memory!
Together, Kendrick and Mia created an atmosphere that was warm, joyful and effortlessly memorable. We had the vacation of our lives and we will never forget the incredible time we shared on Perpetual Blue. This experience will stay with our family forever!
Best wishes,
- Bill and Julie

May 2025

I’d like to send my praise for Jay Jay and Josiah; they were both outstanding. Our days aboard the boat counted as one of the best holidays I’ve taken, and both played a huge part in that. It was beyond wonderful to not have to think or make one decision for over 5 days, a true treat. Jay Jay piloted the boat calmly and skillfully, and Josiah: his meals were heavenly. We all reverted back to childhood and waited like children to be served his delicious meals, and we were so grateful for the opportunity to do so for that small space in our lives.

I know that I will recall those perfect days on the water: swimming, snorkeling, bare feet, and being exclusively outdoors. I will dream of my next trip.

We had a fabulous week on Perpetual Blue. We enjoyed the sun, snorkeling, and the scenery. Captain JJ was expert at charting our course through the islands. We felt safe and were incredibly well cared for throughout the trip. Chef Josiah produced five star meals. Each meal was its own version of exquisite. I highly recommend Perpetual Blue if you are considering a charter in the beautiful Virgin Islands. Both you and Josiah were hard working, friendly and a delight to be with.

Thank you for taking such good care of us! 💕

We had the MOST AMAZING time ever on our charter!! Dylan and Ameda were more than we could have ever hoped for!! My sister-in-law and I were crying as we said goodbye because they had become family to all of us. We both continue to talk to them since we have returned home also! The islands we went to were unbelievable and all the amazing adventures we did were amazing! They made Christmas for our kids (and us) one of the best!! We experienced some mechanical issues with the boat and Dylan and Ameda handled it so well. We had to spend the night on the dock one of the nights so a mechanic could work on the boat. Dylan had all of that arranged and worked around it to make plans for us on the island we were on.

We have shared our experience with so many of our family and friends and have recommended Charter Smarter to all! Thank you for providing an easy booking, great communication through the planning process, and overall amazing vacation!! We all are ready to come back and we want Dylan and Ameda again!! 😊
