Meet our Crew
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!

Nate & Hilary - As a member of the “Newbury Hillbuddies” engrains our bucket list trip to the BVI, I want to thank you both for this amazing once-in-a-lifetime trip. The key to a successful trip is the captain & chef, and we couldn’t have dreamed of a better couple to share this experience with.
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. ❤️

Dear Nate & Hillary – It is hard to put into words what I experienced with you over the past week. Sure, we got to experience paradise and all the beautiful coves, islands, fish, and vessels along the way. But the one thing that stands out the most for me, it’s you. I hope you guys know how special you are. I feel a connection with you. The level of service you have provided is off the charts! I hope our paths cross again somewhere, somehow. Everybody dies, but not everybody lives! So let’s get on with living!
All the best! Jonny Cakes :)

Capt. Nate & Hillary, I could just write DITTO to all Brandi said, but it just wouldn’t even begin to cover how much we loved sailing with you. This trip was a once-in-a-lifetime experience because of you both! We feel so blessed to be on this eight day charter with friends we already loved but you guys are now family! I will re-invite you to visit us anything! You’ll always have a place in Newbury on the hill with us! Thank you! 😊

Nate & Hillary,
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!

Hilary & Nate – You have ruined us for normal meals with all the fabulous food and especially cookies w/ lunch :) We loved our time on the Touch the Sky with the Rad/Matt Birthday crew and you. It was an awesome and so amazing way to experience the Virgin Islands. Now there is no turning back from cat trips.
We will be in touch. See you in Detroit, Denver or Ann Arbor ❤️

Nate & Hilary, You both have elevated (using Holt’s word) our 80th birthday year to the highest level. You have been so much fun to be with every day, always willing to make us happy.

Love, Sudy

A little of everything this trip – rockin’ & rolling in 4-6 ft waves, sailing, sun & fun. Thank you both for making this a memorable trip. Fab food & plenty of bourbon. :) Hugs

Nate and Hilary,
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 loved Hilary and Nate. They were an incredible crew—so warm, friendly, fun, funny, and helpful. Hilary's cooking was delicious.
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.
