Chef/First Mate

Captain Brian Velesbir
Brian was born and raised in Connecticut and got an early start for his love of the ocean sailing on Long Island Sound and summer vacations in Rhode Island. His grandfather was one of the original crew to start a friendly sailing racing circuit on Long Island Sound. While attending the University of Rhode Island, Brian joined the sail club that gave him the confidence to explore the rest of New England. He owned and operated several sailing vessels on the east coast, until he traded in long winters and frozen dock lines for a warmer climate. Out of passion he sold everything he owned to purchase a catamaran in the Caribbean. Several years of sailing around, he has found the Virgin Islands to be his new home. While rare to find, but when not on the ocean, Brian has taken every opportunity to go back woods and helicopter skiing in the Rocky Mountains. Luckily today, he is at sea level awaiting to explore the Virgin Islands beautiful beach landscapes and marine life.
Chef Jessi
Jessi was born and raised in Johannesburg, South African, despite the distance, Jessi has always loved the ocean! Her family spent most holidays in Knysna, a picturesque coastal town, perfect for sailing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, and fishing, Jessi learned how to drive boats at a very young age, and she received her PADI Junior Open Water certification at the age of 12, dreaming of one day becoming a Dive Instructor and travelling around the world.
In 2005, Jessi and her family relocated to Cape Town, South Africa and put the Scuba Diving dreams on hold to pursue another passion - Design. Jessi earned a BA in Creative Brand communication and Marketing, but despite building a successful career as a Graphic Designer and Social Media Manager in Cape Town, the ocean was calling.
In 2015, Jessi became a Dive Instructor and relocated to the Seychelles where she was introduced to the Yachting Industry. Since then, Jessi has worked on various size Superyachts, moto ryachts and sailing vessels, taking on multiple roles, as a Deckhand, Dive Instructor, Stewardess, and Chef, gaining invaluable experience in every department.
Jessi’s passion for cooking has always been a significant part of her life, while travelling she eagerly participates in cooking classes to taste the local cuisine and learn new cooking techniques. She is always looking for ways to elevate her guest’s culinary experience onboard, while making sure to prepare fresh and flavorful dishes, often saying “it’s paradise on a plate”
Jessi is deeply committed to providing a professional level of service in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Jessi’s dedication to excellence ensures that every dish not only satisfies but also delights her guests..

Magnus is the best!!! Exceeded our expectations at every turn. Hope to be able to sail with him again. Jade and Jessi are awesome. The food was fantastic and no matter what curveball we through at her she handled it seamlessly and professionally. Jessi was great! Whether it be teaching us how to scuba dive or making the cocktail of the day, she always had a smile on her face and made us all feel special. Yacht was perfect and there was always plenty to do on the boat. Unicorn is a special animal... The food and drink were superb. Like I said earlier, we had very high expectations of our trip and every aspect was exceeded. - The Terwilliger Family
Hi guys! How can we begin to thank you for giving us this amazing, beautiful, memorable, perfect vacation? We will always remember the two of you and the week on Azulia. We loved the FOOD, the two of you, the perfect spots you chose, tubing, hiking, shopping, and the snorkeling. Your hospitality was over the top. We are definitely going to come back for another trip. Safe travels! Anytime you are in Maryland look us up, so we can return the hospitality. Thank you
Truly amazing! What a glorious time we all had, and it was made especially awesome by you two - the ultimate dynamic duo! We felt so taken care of and loved by you guys - we've all agreed that we'll miss you two as much as the Virgin Islands! The experience has been utterly wonderful, and we are most grateful for your generosity, kindness, expertise, and hard work.
What can we say but WOW!! That was a fantastic initiation into The BVI’s, Kismet and the amazing and professional treatment we received from both of you!! The handling of all the details, including sailing and introductions to the different destinations, water sports, the timely refreshments and of course the delicious Jessi’s 5 star meals!
Wow! What an amazing trip! The crew both exceeded our expectations! So much thought and attention to detail made our trip the BEST sailing trip ever! Dan and Jessi are talented, professional and fun and a perfect fit for us. We will certainly come back. Our yacht was well managed, comfortable and great floor plan. We will see you again soon.
Thank you for a week of inspiration and memories - great meals, hours of inspiring conversation, beautiful views, and excessive photos. I cannot thank you guys enough for the hospitality and radiance throughout the last couple of days. I hope to do what the two of you have done and have the privilege to live this wonderful lifestyle in the future. Thank you, thank you!
Thank you so much for a beautiful trip through the Virgin Islands. Kismet offered great spaces for relaxing, reading, eating, playing games etc. Brian and Jessi were great hosts. Very flexible and accommodating, showing us so many private spots to chill. Food was unbelievable - nice job Jess. Looking forward to your Instagram updates and recipe book :) Visit all of us in Michigan anytime! We would love to show you around.
Thank you for an incredible week onboard Kismet. Everything was perfect! We enjoyed how different each of the experiences were - beach excursions, sunsets, cocktails and cruises & the many snorkeling experiences. Every meal was world class and expertly presented. The boat was spotlessly clean. You both were so much fun to be with and you made IYT so much fun for our family. We will cherish these memories for a lifetime. Happy Sailing. Love, The Moore Family, Martha, Leigh, Josh, Abby, Mollie, Taylor and Kelsey.

Thank you, Brian and Jessy, for an amazing trip. You’ve been such great guides throughout the trip - great spots, interesting information and even better food! Both of you went out of your way to make sure everyone was comfortable & taken care of. -Lauren
Captain Brian and Chef Jessi are an exceptional team! Kismet would be a shell without you guys. Our first Moorings vacation has quickly risen to the top of our travel lists. The islands of course are beautiful, the sunsets, the water and even the weather. However, as so often in this case you remember the people. Captain Brian is the perfect blend of professionalism and friend. There was never a moment of doubt that we weren’t in good hands, great in fact. Jessi made food that was not only delicious, but thoughtfully presented and served. She’s a Chef and an Artist. Together they represent the best of the island. If you are reading this, consider yourself privileged, you are in the presence of greatness. Sit back. Relax and enjoy! Wren, Leonard and Martz families
Capt & Chef delivered an amazing experience to a group of old and new friend and family. Brian is a professional Captain that knows the area really well, we loved seeing the BVI and the USVI on our trip. An experience that went well above and beyond expectations. Jess is an exceptional Chef who has passion for food and gave us amazing meals while meeting all our dietary needs. Overall this trip had attention to detail, exploring everything we could and we feel we saw and experienced everything we could. Truly the best vacation of our lives! With a grateful heart, Jeff, Denise, Casey, Katie, Brent, Jenni, Brian and Jenny.
