Chef Emilie
Born and raised in Kansas City in a big Italian-American family that owned a ravioli factory, Chef Emilie grew up surrounded by scratch-made food, rich traditions, and the joyful chaos of lively family gatherings. From the aroma of fresh pasta to the laughter around the dinner table, she learned early on that food is an expression of love, connection, and celebration.

That foundation deepened over the years as she explored professional kitchens and discovered how flavors can shape memories and bring people together. For over a decade, Emilie has called the Virgin Islands home—blending her culinary roots with vibrant, market-fresh island ingredients to create meals that are both comforting and unforgettable.

For Emilie, cooking is about more than technique; it’s about crafting experiences that make people feel seen and cared for. Every dish she serves reflects joy, intention, and her genuine love of hospitality—designed to nourish, delight, and become part of the story of each voyage.

When she’s not in the galley, you’ll find her hiking island trails with a snorkel and a crossword tucked in her backpack or hosting game nights with something delicious at the center. Emilie brings the same warmth and vibrancy to her food as she does to life on the water—joyful, spirited, and full of heart.

In her own words:
“What I love most about this work is the chance to share the Virgin Islands in a way that feels both effortless and inviting. Food becomes part of the rhythm of a trip—fueling adventure, framing moments of rest, and tying memories together long after the sails are down. I have a deep respect for these islands, for the ocean that surrounds them, and for the way a good meal can anchor a day at sea. It’s a privilege to create a space where one can feel the thrill of discovery, the island-style ease of simply living, and the spirit of the place I call home.”
