Meet Your BVI Charter Brokers: Cory and Emily

Contact Us | Meet Your Brokers

A husband-and-wife team with five seasons of firsthand charter experience, an Atlantic crossing behind them, and a shared life aboard their own sailboat. Now we put that experience to work helping you find the right yacht, the right crew and the right charter.

Why book with us

We’ve Been the Captain and the Chef.

We’ve set the anchor, cooked the dinners, poured the sundowners and welcomed guests aboard. That means we know what to look for, what questions to ask and how to match you with the right boat and crew — so you spend less time second-guessing your choices and more time looking forward to your trip.

We use that firsthand experience to help you choose the right yacht, get the most from your itinerary and avoid the little surprises that can make or break a week on the water.

Cory Busichio

Charter captain 2019 to 2024 · Yacht charter broker

Cory grew up sailing the Chesapeake Bay, racing at a national level and winning local and regional championships in Optimists, Lasers, 420s, J/22s and J/105s. His family began chartering in the British Virgin Islands, St. Maarten and the Bahamas in the 1990s, and he spent more than a decade skippering Moorings bareboat charters through these same islands and anchorages. Those years on the water helped build the experience and sea time behind his captain’s license.

From 2019 to 2024, Cory captained week-long, all-inclusive charters throughout the U.S. and British Virgin Islands and the Bahamas aboard the Sunreef 60 and Lagoon 620. His roles went well beyond the helm, encompassing bartending, kiteboarding instruction and divemaster duties. In 2023, he joined the crew of a Sunreef 80 as mate and engineer for her nearly 5,000-mile delivery from Ibiza, Spain, to the Virgin Islands. He remained aboard in the BVI from November 2023 through March 2024.

Before returning to life on the water full-time, Cory owned and operated Ocean Extreme Sports, a kitesurfing and paddleboarding shop in St. Augustine, Florida, for seven years. He also holds a degree in Air Traffic Management from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and a commercial multi-engine pilot’s license.

Today, Cory brings a wealth of hands-on experience to every yacht recommendation, along with an honest, straightforward approach and a commitment to clear pricing—no hidden costs or surprises.

Emily Busichio

USCG captain · Charter chef, mate and chief stew · Yacht charter broker, 100+ charters booked

Emily grew up on the Georgia coast, surrounded by boating and fishing. Both of her parents are U.S. Coast Guard–licensed Master captains who operate fishing charters, and she spent nearly a decade working alongside them as a mate and deckhand. She then spent 15 years in hospitality, much of it as a lead server at a St. Augustine restaurant recognized as one of the top 100 in the country. Working alongside accomplished sommeliers and hospitality professionals, she developed a deep appreciation for wine, thoughtful service and the details that make a dining experience memorable.

From 2019 to 2023, Emily served as chef and mate aboard the Sunreef 60, creating menus tailored to each charter group’s preference sheet, with fresh local produce, freshly caught fish and a touch of Southern inspiration. She later joined the Sunreef 80 as chief stewardess, overseeing the interior, crafting signature cocktails and coordinating wine pairings. During that time, she also crossed her first ocean on the delivery from Ibiza, Spain, to the Virgin Islands. A graduate of Ashburton Cooking School, Emily spent her off-seasons in Europe continuing to develop her culinary skills through cooking courses and wine tastings.

From 2024 to 2026, Emily worked with an established charter brokerage, helping more than 100 groups find and book crewed yacht vacations throughout the Virgin Islands and the Bahamas. She built lasting relationships with yacht crews and industry partners while developing an in-depth understanding of the charter market and what it takes to create a seamless, memorable vacation. That experience inspired her to launch Get Crewed, bringing together her firsthand knowledge of life aboard and her passion for helping guests find the right yacht, crew and charter experience.

What that means for your charter

Four Advantages of Booking with Brokers who’ve Crewed

1

We Know the Crews, Not Just the Listings

We’ve shared docks, dinghy runs and anchorages with these captains and chefs. We build relationships and attend yacht shows to stay current on who’s aboard which boat. So when we recommend a crew for a family affair or a couples’ getaway seeking a quieter escape, it’s based on firsthand knowledge — matching you with people whose personalities, experience and service style suit the way you want to spend your time aboard.

2

We Have Run the Galley and the Bar

We know what goes into making great meals at sea. With four seasons of galley experience, Emily helps translate your preferences into menus the crew can deliver beautifully, anticipating what works in the islands and finding solutions where needed — so there are no surprises, just meals you’ll love.

3

We’ve Been the Captain

Five seasons running charters means we know what makes a week on the water work. We’ll help you pick the best time to go, plan realistic routes, avoid wasted days, find the beaches and beach bars worth visiting, and time your itinerary around what’s happening in the islands.

4

Upfront about Every Cost

The rate is all-inclusive. Gratuity is ±20% of your charter rate, scaled up or down for the level of service received. Beyond that it is flights, ferries and taxis — and we tell you what those actually run before you book, so the eight-minute taxi that costs $100 is never a surprise at the dock.
