The highly anticipated episode 7 of Below Deck Down Under season 3, titled “Declaration of Love,”made its debut on Bravo on March 17, 2025. This gripping installment prominently featured Wihan Du Toit as he navigated the complexities of love, aiming to capture the heart of Adair Werley.
In a heartfelt twist, Wihan laid bare his feelings for Adair by penning her a love letter. However, his romantic exploits drew the ire of Lara Rigby, who expressed her discontent with Wihan’s apparent focus on pursuing love rather than contributing to the team’s preparation for the yacht charter.
Simultaneously, Tzarina Mace Ralph experienced a breath of fresh air with her new sous-chef, Alesia Harris. Tzarina was relieved to work with someone eager to learn, contrasting her experience with a previous sous-chef who had been less receptive to guidance.
Episode Recap: Below Deck Down Under Season 3, Episode 7
Wihan’s Romantic Distractions Alienate His Crew
During this episode, Wihan boldly declared his affection for Adair, admitting that despite his recent flings with Tzarina and Marina, his heart belonged solely to her. However, not everyone was pleased with his romantic entanglements—Lara had previously expressed her disappointment in Wihan’s behavior, particularly after witnessing him engage with multiple crew members. Her frustration reached a breaking point as she cautioned him to stop “messing with her girls.”
In a dramatic move, Wihan discreetly left the yacht to craft a love letter for Adair. Upon his return, he exhibited a lackadaisical attitude, neglecting essential tasks as provisions arrived and refusing to assist with dinner preparations. This behavior not only frustrated Lara but also alienated him from the crew, who value teamwork and supporting one another.
Wihan ultimately delivered his letter to Adair, sliding it under her door. Although Adair found the gesture sweet, she made it clear that she was not interested in reciprocating his feelings.
A Blossoming Bond and Apologies
In another storyline, Tzarina enjoyed the opportunity to bond with Alesia in the galley, appreciating her new sous-chef’s eagerness to embrace new learning opportunities. Meanwhile, Johnny, reflecting on an awkward kiss with Alesia, chose to apologize, prompting Alesia to assure him that she viewed their night out as a delightful experience rather than a misstep.
The crew soon welcomed a fresh batch of charter guests—a group of lively women ready for exhilarating adventures, prompting Captain Jason to brief them on an exciting itinerary that included a visit to La Digue, famed for its tortoise sanctuary and scenic bike rides.
Wihan’s Oversight Places Charter at Risk
As Wihan became increasingly distracted by his feelings for Adair, fellow crew member Harry found himself unsure about Wihan’s lingering affections for Bri. Despite ongoing uncertainties, Harry was motivated to rekindle his romance with her, taking Lara’s warning into account about Bri’s mixed feelings. To address the tension, he sent Bri a thoughtful text, which she responded to positively, momentarily easing their relationship struggles.
As the crew geared up for their eagerly awaited beach picnic, tensions rose when unexpected delays in bike rides threatened to derail their schedule. All blame fell on Wihan, whose lack of consideration for travel time nearly jeopardized the entire charter experience.
