Crew Information
Captain: Brian Velesbir
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..

Reviews
Thank you for taking care of us during our beautiful stay on Ohana. If anyone is looking for the ultimate Caribbean charter, Ohana is the way to go. Captain Brian makes sure every part of the trip is smooth, fun, and packed with adventure. Chef Jessi? Absolute legend. Every meal was top-tier—fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want after a day on the water. From the laid-back island vibes of Anegada to epic sunset cruises and legendary stops at Jost Van Dyke, Ohana delivers. Walking the beaches of Anegada felt like stepping into a postcard, with crystal-clear water and powdery sand. Unbeatable views, great drinks, and that perfect end-of-day chill. The crew really makes the trip special, Captain Brian and Chef Jessi make it more than just a trip—it’s an experience you won’t forget. Can’t wait to book again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Highly recommend.

This is hands down the most relaxing Caribbean trip we have had as a family. Honestly, I was a bit anxious before the trip, worrying that the girls would be bored. But you guys totally blew our expectations out of the water – from the excursions you organized, to the cocktail drinks you catered to our preference and the Michelin level meals you prepared. We can tell the thought and care you put into getting ready for the charter and the effort to make every group feel welcome/comfortable. We cannot recommend you guys enough! Once again, a heartfelt appreciation for making this a memorable trip.

I think all of us would agree that experiencing Necker Island was the best part of the trip. It started off as a joke to go to the island because my sister is a huge fan of Tarte makeup and they were having one of their influencer trips there during our trip. Brian said he actually had a contact for island tours and was able to get us on in 2 days. What started out as a joke with my sister turned out to be the coolest part of our trip. Definitely a surreal experience since I grew up hearing about that island for the last 20 years. Anegada was also a new experience for us, so that was a fun day. We rented Mokes for the day and bounced around the island and different beach bars. Soggy Dollar is also always a classic.
Will
Thank you so much for an absolutely amazing trip. Your attention to detail, knowledge, care, kindness and humor are unmatched – you are simply the best. You really felt like an extension of our family during this trip. We loved adventuring on all the different islands with you guys, enjoying all the amazing food, and the incredible amount of laughs. It should be an easy choice to take a trip with Ohana again. We have been on four different charters in the BVI and this has been our favorite by far!
Thank you for everything!
See you again soon!

Thank you so much for an amazing trip!! We don’t want to leave. We loved learning about and exploring the islands. The beautiful water and scenery will hold a special place in our hearts. The Quality family time on the boat was so special for us. The Kids loved Bitter End and Soggy Dollar. They are already talking about their next visit. None of this would be as memorable without the two of you. You make Ohana special. Wonderful meals, excellent captaining, delicious cocktails and unmatched hospitality. The boat is beautiful but it is just a boat without its talented chef and charming captain. Thank you making unforgettable memories for us.

Ohana itself was spacious and comfortable, perfectly accommodating our group of six with room to spare. We were also lucky to have perfect weather, which made the experience even more magical. From the impeccable service to the breathtaking scenery, this charter exceeded all our expectations. Highly recommend!

Words cannot express how special you have made this trip, it has been incredible! From the food, drinks and the endless trip to “off the beaten path” places. To all future guests, Hog Heaven boasts an element of what these trips are all about, great food and amazing view and of course great company. We are honored to be the first guests to write in your welcome book and even more fortunate to have you as our crew.
- Rick, Dylan & Caden
P.S. We are hereby nominating Anegada & Conch Shell Island as the most beautiful places on the planet. Caden + Rick nominate Tipsys as the best bar on planet earth and Dylan cannot stop thinking about how good the drinks are at Sids.

Our trip created memories for a lifetime…Byeee
Jess you make the world a happier place, you are a true talent. Thank you for you’re amazing food!
Brian you are the balance we needed, calm, fun, safe and diligent. Thank you for being in charge of a bunch of A-types.
Kari, Ryan Fleming.
Beautiful weather, awesome anchorages, & places aside. You guys were the nest to do this with! So knowledgeable about everything and also cool, calm and collected. Great energy.
Thank you for showing us around and for the delicious food, we had such a great trip and we are lucky to be here.
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
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!

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!
