Chef / First Mate
Captain: Nate Riley
Capt. Nate Riley
In 1989, I assisted my parents in their preparation for a transatlantic crossing from California to Scotland. Though I did
not get to make that voyage, it did ignite my passion for sailing and the ocean. I grew up in Michigan around the water
and it always fascinated me. So, when a friend called one January asking, “Can you turn wrenches on a sailboat? There
was no decision to be made and off I went. I began my career as an engineer on a crew of 5 and eventually earned my
200GRT/500 GT USCG license. Since then, I have worked on vessels of varying sizes; 65’ to 245’. From scuba dive
liveaboards to Alaskan Summer adventure boats.
During these past 25 years of being in this industry, there have been so many wonderful adventures. I have participated
in organized shark feeds, visited many Islands (Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, Puerto Rico, USVI’s, and BVI’s), explored
uninhabited Islands, crossed the Gulf Stream countless times, and even wrote a #1 Amazon scuba travel guide. Bahamas
Bucket List for Divers: Bimini Edition.
I find enjoyment sharing my passion and knowledge for the ocean and navigation. When on land, I enjoy entering in 5k
races and have also participated in a few marathons. I love to fish when on charter and have recently gotten into surfing.
If there is one thing you can be certain of, I will do everything within the realm of weather and safety to make sure your
vacation is the most memorable one ever. It would be my pleasure to be your Captain.
Chef Hilary Gieber
It was a typical Michigan Winter in the Upper Peninsula (iykyk), January 2011. I was packing in the middle of a blizzard
and was headed to the US Virgin Islands. It would be my first time traveling to The Caribbean. I knew nothing about
sailing, and even less about the ocean and scuba diving. Growing up around the Great Lakes I had great respect for the
water, but no Ocean experience. I had agreed to a job on a 104’ Custom Sailing Vessel that traveled between the Virgin
Islands and the Bahamas, diving everywhere in between (Puerto Rico, Turks and Caicos, BVI). Immediately I was in heaven
and twelve years later here I am.
During that time, I soaked up everything I could about sailing, scuba diving, and the ocean world below us. I had found
the lifestyle that suited me during these years, but truly found my home in the Galley. From Florida and The Caribbean all
the way to Alaska I have enjoyed feeding and entertaining guests from all over the world. Using local ingredients along
the way andaAlways taking in the latest food and drink trends. My Fiancé and Captain would call me a “foodie,” but I just
love and get excited about food.
Being a part of guests’ underwater experiences has been a great pleasure of my life. Teaching them about the world
below is another true passion of mine. I now hold my Rescue Diver certification, STCW, and have over ten years of sea
time. On a typical day you can find me up early to exercise and getting my mind right, before starting breakfast and food
prep for the day. I enjoy afternoon snorkeling, getting together with family and friends, playing cards, and anything
involving the outdoors. This life has allowed me to continue traveling and exploring the world we live in, and I hope to
share that and my food with all of you!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
💙 Vicki & Colby
Nate & Hilary,
We cannot thank you enough for such an amazing trip. The food & service were absolutely amazing. This was a trip of a lifetime and we hit the lottery with having you both as our crew!
Thank you so, so much.
– Julie & Karina
A true trip of a lifetime, thanks to you both and our crew of “castaways.”
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You are the best in every way.
💙 Sarah and Mike
Thank you just doesn’t seem like enough! There are not enough words!! You guys showed us the most PERFECT week!
It was definitely one of our top ever vacations, and we look forward to the next time, or at least entertaining you in Virginia!
We wouldn’t change a thing! We enjoyed every minute, every meal (Hilary – you’re the BEST!), and you ever need a sous chef… just saying’!
We looked forward to every culinary surprise… we loved every stop (BAR), and we loved each and every minute on the boat with the best “CASTAWAY” mates and crew! – And next time, Larry & I might even beat you at Euchre!
’Til next time!…
With 💙,
John and Jenny
Thank you so much for your hard work, care, expertise and beautiful hearts!!
We are so thankful and grateful for an amazing, relaxing, incredible experience. This was/is a trip of a lifetime. From the incredible dinners/lunches/breakfasts, drinks, food, all the food (yum), to the views, laughter and fellowship 💙
So much love & appreciation always,
💙 Jill & Larry
Food & hospitality were amazing. Nate and Hilleary are top notch. We had the best time. We appreciate everything to make us happy & comfortable.
WOW! WOW! WOW! — Drinks, Food, Crew?! We will be back!
From one boater to another, you two are the BEST CREW hands down!! Hilleary is by far the best cook—can’t say enough! Nate, you are wise with the seas, and man, made the best of it and it worked! It’s like follow you two wherever you go… Come to Lake Cumberland with us so we can pay it forward! You two rock! XOXOX
Thank you! Please know that we are very clear about one fact. Nate & Hillary made this trip, no question about that!
Ann & Joe
Thank you so very much for allowing us to experience your hospitality. Memories that we will carry for the rest of our time. Capt. Nate, your experience & gut feelings about where we stayed each night was second to none. Hillary, your planning & food choices were exceptional, the meals were absolutely delicious & your guidance very much appreciated. Thank you both so very much.
Mack & Robin

Nate was exceptional at charting our course, singing Bob Seger, making us laugh, and helping in the kitchen. Hilary is an extraordinary cook – breakfast, lunch, happy hour, and dinner were all chef’s kiss!
We chose “Touch the Sky” for 8 crazy nights because of the size of the vessel & our tribe, but we hit the lottery with Nate & Hilary. They are the best part about our trip! They have an open invitation to visit us in New Hampshire!
Nate & Hilary, you are the “masters” of our cocktails – you make it all the better. ❤️
Brandi
All the best! Jonny Cakes :)
ALWAYS WELCOME IN N.H. ANYTIME! BEST BEST!

Swathi & Travis
Thank you so much for such a fun & memorable trip in BVI. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to bring in #40. The cooking was amazing, and we are completely spoiled now. How will we survive without 4:30 pm happy hour? 😉
We are also thankful for the thoughtful itinerary – we enjoyed all of the snorkeling! We all thought this would be a once-in-a-lifetime trip, but we are already talking about when we can charter this boat again!!
Best wishes for your next charters & if you’re ever in Colorado let us know!

We will be in touch. See you in Detroit, Denver or Ann Arbor ❤️

We can’t even tell you what an incredible week we had, and how deeply grateful we are for you both. From everything we saw you do, and everything you did behind the scenes, you made this such a special week. We felt so taken care of, and in such beautiful surroundings! Every meal was fantastic (said by a group with high standards!) and you put up with all our shenanigans and stories and jokes with such great humor (and you added so many great jokes and stories to our repertoire!). Thank you for taking care of us. You’re stuck with us, and will always be part of our group – Dragonflies for life!! ❤️
Love Always, The Pink Dragons
We also enjoyed all of the great spaces to spread out on Touch the Sky. It never felt crowded and always felt like a party. I particularly enjoyed having a cabin up on deck on this boat.
The crew was professional, accessible, and accommodating—100% amazing! Nate made adjustments for the weather, and we still got to see every location. They were also so on top of things when we dealt with a friend falling and breaking her arm; they were excellent in a crisis moment.

You, Hillary, the meals and watching my girls to try new things was such a treat!
Nate, the spots, islands, and webbing touches were so special. It was a beautiful week full of memories and will be hard to adjust to real life.
XOXO, Mark & Tori
Thank y’all for an absolutely unbelievable and unforgettable week. This has been the best week of vacation in all ways, including the amazing food. The memories I made on this trip will last me a lifetime, and none of this would have been possible without you two.
Thank you and Sail Yeah,
Michael
Peace is what Leslie and I were searching for, and we certainly found it! Providing us with the view and atmosphere to watch the kids and their strengths shine was more than we could have asked for. The beauty of it all is that life can be simple, and that was on full display with everything we got to enjoy on this trip.
Much love and Sail Yeah!,
Justin and Leslie
We made each such special memories and amazing experiences under your care. So many laughs and absolutely incredible food. I don’t have the words to thank you enough for taking such great care of my family. This was a trip of a lifetime for us and all due to your skills and expertise. I truly hope our paths cross again, and once more, I thank you!
Vince
Dear Hilary and Nate-
This has been the most amazing week for our family and the best way to celebrate Christmas! We loved getting to know both of you. Thank you for taking us to so many cool spots and for getting us there early every time! Hillary- the food was spectacular and the Christmas decorations were the perfect touch. If you ever need 5 new deckhands, count us in!

We had a very special nine days on board Touch the Sky.

The views were matched by delicious food prepared by our expert chef! At all times we felt well cared for.
Thank you!
We hope to be back!
Matthew, Catherine, and family
Thank you for answering all my questions.
I loved your boat.
Love, Naomi
Thank you so much for a magical and memorable trip! We loved exploring all the beautiful beaches and snorkeling and seeing amazing marine life and swimming in the pristine blue water.
Every meal felt like a Michelin-star restaurant, and I will be saving these menus for a long time to come. Thank you for your constant service that truly allowed us to relax onboard.
Despite several unexpected detours, the trip was wonderful.
Thanks,

We just CANNOT thank you enough for this bucket-list trip & all the extra special attention— to detail & above & beyond delivery of our things.
Y'all do what you do not only to perfection but also with style and grace. A ton of effort delivered effortlessly looking!
Thank you for everything
We were a three generation group, which I imagine could be a daunting assignment, when you are in relatively close quarters. Our grandkids are 9, almost 7, and 5 years of age. Jennifer and I wanted our kids and grandkids to experience as much of the BVI experience as possible in a week. We succeeded because of Captain Richard and Suzanne. Norman Island, Cooper Island, Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke were all destinations that we were able to enjoy. The grandkids acclimated themselves quickly to the sailing lifestyle and that was all due to Captain Richard and Suzanne.
I cannot say enough about Chef Suzanne and her culianry expertise. We were so pampered from morning fruit plates on the fly bridge followed by an amazing breakfast. Lunches were always a treat but the best always was the dinners she served us in the evenings on the back of Touch The Sky. The flavors and presentation of each meal rivaled ANY meal you might get on shore. Her salmon dinner as well as the family recipe she shared one night for pasta was amazing. I am still blown away by the quality of each meal coming out of that galley kitchen. Needless to say, coming home after a week eating Chef Suzanne’s meals was a real jolt of reality. Coffee on the fly bridge in the early morning is still the best.
Finally, I cannot say enough about Captain Richard. With him at the helm you are going to be in safe hands. His quiet confidence and calm demeanor was infectious. I think what was really special is the way he (and Suzanne) brought our grandkids into their world. With his assistance, each took turns at the wheel. He showed infinite patience in answering their questions. Each night while Suzanne and Richard were plating dinner, they let our 5 year old granddaughter run food to the table. It sounds like an insignificant thing but I assure you it was magical.
Finally, thank you Paradise Yacht Management for matching us up with Captain Richard and Chef Suzanne. Touch The Sky was our home for the week. We came away feeling sad having to leave it and the wonderful people who crewed it. Let it rock!
Wow! What a cruise. Our family was so lucky to be able to take a trip like this. But even luckier to have the two of you take care of us. It is amazing how two extremely professional people can also be so fun and able to blend in with our group. Suzanne – the food! I am hoping for many of your recipes – absolutely outstanding! I hope the boat owner knows how lucky he is to have you taking care of this beautiful boat. Thank you again for your thoughtfulness and assistance while we were sick. If you ever find yourselves in Georgia – you are welcome.
Best wishes,
Linda & Jim
Dennis M.
What a difference a fabulous crew makes on a trip like this. You are both amazing and such fun. I’m just so sorry we all got sick. It just made it so much harder for you, but you were perfect anyway. Thanks so much for everything. The boat owner is extremely lucky to have you both. Thank again. Safe travels always.
Janice M.
We loved meeting you both. Your personalities were a great compliment to our group. Having such an experienced crew like you we knew we were always safe, always went to the best spots, and always moored far away from the mosquitos! You are the perfect blend of five star service but not stuffy and engage in such a genuine way. We look forward to sailing with you again and wouldn’t want to have another sailing adventure without you.
Brian & Krissy
Thank you so much for everything you did for us this week!! Everything was great. It has been great getting to know you and to travel with you. You have been wonderful hosts! I wish you both the very best and I would love to sail with you again sometime in the future!! Thank you so much again!!

P.S.-If you’re ever in Minnesota look us up.
Richard and Suzanne,
The best hosts ever, the best boat ever, the best vacation ever. All nine of us have loved every second of this trip and it is in no small part to your amazing attention to detail. We will consider you family forever.
With much love,
The Yachties
Richard and Suzanne,
Thank you for making it easy for me with the diet restrictions. It was reassuring that you could work with what I could eat. Loved the variety, so many things I could eat. From when I first started taking to you about diet, I knew I didn’t need to worry. Thank you so much! It made a difference in my trip! Thank you again!
Sandy S.
Amazing! Can’t say enough positive things. You are both awesome and created the most perfect experience, Best 50th ever!
XOXO

I don’t even know how to find the words to say how amazing this vacation was – and we owe it all t the both of you. Thank you so much for everything – the service, the food, and coming to get me when the current got to be too much. That none of us got lost along the way is a testament to you. We will remember this forever and could ask for more. Yu always have a friend in Charleston.
Fair winds and following seas,
Amy B.

Fxxxg flawless. Literally everything from the first hello has been flawless. My expectations have been surpassed beyond belief and despite my healthy hesitation for and of the water, I can’t wait to come back. Mostly to hang with both of you. But the view is always pretty damn awesome (thanks for that, Richard).

We can’t thank you enough for your amazing hospitality aboard Touch the Sky. The meals, and pre-meals, were delicious and the service was impeccable … Your warmth and inviting spirit allowed us to fully enjoy being present with one another, all too easily missed on a day to day basis.
The Christmas touches were perfect from the lights to the tray of Christmas cookies and candies.
One of the best vacations and most memorable Christmases ever! We will be back!!! You both are the best!!!
We have so thoroughly enjoyed meeting and sailing with you! With two almost grown daughters this time together with family and friends means so much to us. What and adventure. Our family has taken many trips together over the years but this was the #1 most memorable, amazing, relaxing one. We hope to be back with you both sooner rather than later. If you ever come to the Chicago area, please let us know! We would love to see you!
You guys Rock! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ~
Thank you both for such an amazing trip! Our first charter experience was extraordinary and we owe that to both of you. We were blessed with the two most wonderful new friends we could have every wished for to have this experience with. Every aspect of this charter was exceptional… from the amazing sailing to the most beautiful and delicious meals. We loved getting to know you both and look forward to seeing you again soon. Until then, we wish you both happiness and a wonderful charter season! Thanks again, you truly are the Best!
Thank you both for such an amazing trip! I have to say we have never had such a relaxing vacation and have been so pampered! You all went WAY above & beyond to make sure we were all happy, boat perfect & clean, and that we always had a drink in our hands! It was so fun getting to know you all… you two are the cutest couple ever and we all send well wishes for your happy future! Hope to see you in 2023 for a repeat but as friends! You always have a place to stay in Virginia!!
Thank you so very much for an amazing week of sun, fun, incredible meals, relaxation, and friendship. You both made our time on the water such a joy, and it was a delight to get to know you and call you friends. I will miss your bad dad jokes and culinary creations!
This was Patty Cake’s and my first sailing trip and we will do this again! Really amazing food, sweet accommodations, and we loved seeing all of the islands. Thanks for being more than hosts!

We loved every aspect of our charter, from the first time we met and every day of our adventure. You are, and always will be, our friends in St. Thomas and we have been blessed to have spent time together. Thank you for being so gracious!
Thank you for a relaxing week. You have been very accommodating to all our changing needs. We also have appreciated your flexible itinerary to make us have a great trip. Suzanne’s cooking was creative and delicious! We all feel we had a great variety of USVI. You guys work so well together, it makes for a pleasant experience.
Thank you for facilitating, you both have been extraordinary hosts! I can promise our YPO Family will NOT soon forget the deep rich laughs, stunning wildlife, our happy hearts together, and all the delectable culinary delights. The Conditions Are Perfect!
What a delicious salty surprise! Everything about this charter and experience has been a dream for us. Being able to get together and have a blast has been truly priceless.
We enjoyed every moment and wish you both all the happiness in your future adventures. You both Rock!
Thank you so much for such a memorable experience sailing around St. John with our YPO group. We loved every minute. It was Ryan and my first boat trip and it surely will not be our last. You were both fantastic hosts and we so enjoyed getting to know you. Our favorite bay was Salt Pond – the turtles were amazing! Thank you for a relaxing, easy, and unforgettable trip. And the meals… can we talk about that? The food and hospitality exceeded our expectations! We hope to return soon!”
We had such a wonderful time sailing the USVI with you! It was filled with plenty of turtles, stingrays, and fish. But more importantly, it was the great company. We can’t wait to sail with you again!
We can’t thank you enough for your generosity and hospitality! We loved tubing in Magens Bay, stargazing off St. John, and snorkeling in countless beautiful coves. Suzanne, the food was incredible! We especially loved your banana pancakes, crab cakes, sun-dried tomato ravioli and ALL the desserts! Thanks for sharing evening card games and giving us a family vacation we will never forget! The thought of doing another charter without Richard and Suzanne is not even an option for us.
