Captain Nate & Hilary —
What an amazing time we had celebrating Kim’s last maiden year in her 50’s!!! You guys made sure the experience was one we’ll never forget — from the exceptional cuisine to the details provided on the snorkeling, the adventure at the Caves and unforgettable anchorages, it all made for a wonderful and much-needed vacation for each of us.
Thank you!!! 💜

BEST Birthday Ever!
Turning 50 with amazing friends and our new friends Hilary & Nate has been the best blessing ever!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you so, so much.

Nate and Hillary –
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

WOW! We could not have had a more amazing trip ❤️. Your care of every detail – the atmosphere you created – with such ease – you created a home at sea for us – leading us into the most beautiful nooks of the Caribbean bays. ⛵ Feeding us with the most incredible Hillary creations, Yum! Words simply cannot describe what we got to experience. We will forever hold on to the memories we’ve made.
Thank you! Please know that we are very clear about one fact. Nate & Hillary made this trip, no question about that!
Ann & Joe

Fantastic connection, superb scenery, water & weather but most of all the connection we all made with Capt. Nate & Hillary. Their attention to detail & efforts to make sure that every day was better than the last, how do you do that!?

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

I sincerely hope we find multiple opportunities to hang out, work & have fun together. You guys are special… really.

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. ❤️
Brandi

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 :)

CAP’N NATE & HILARY - AMAZING AMAZING! You two are top shelf! Attention to everything made us all feel special and cared for. Food, drinks, music, destinations, and conversations were unforgettable.
ALWAYS WELCOME IN N.H. ANYTIME! BEST BEST!
SAM

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! 😊

Capt. Riley & Hillary – who is better than you? No one!! ❤️ Love that you have the same name & tittle as my Dad! Thank you for making our time on Touch The Sky an incredible experience. Great food, great music, great coves! We will never forget you.
Rebecca

Nate & Hilary,
Thank you for making sure we had a wonderful time full of amazing memories. I don’t think the trip could be any better!!
Thank you for everything and hope to be back very soon!!
❤️ Liz & Brad

Thank you for a wonderful & memory-making trip. Will be hard to beat!
Swathi & Travis

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!

- Rad, Matt, Liz, Brad, Becca, Evan, Tyler, River, Travis & Swathi

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 ❤️
Bonnie & Evan

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. Hilary, your food is outstanding. All the best to you both. Congratulations on your future wedding and your life together.
Love, Sudy

Hilary & Nate – What a joy to spend this week with you. You were our best 80th birthday gift. Next time you can show us Buck Island. Good times!
Mang

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
– Jill

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.
Callie

Thank you so much for such an amazing week! Y'all have been such an amazing crew & I appreciate everything y’all have done for us. This is has been a 10/10 experience thanks to y'all. Y'all have made us fell so special by truly getting to know each one of us. Nate, you brought us to the best & most beautiful spots! Hillary, you made the most amazing food! I nope y’all have the best year & SAIL YEAH!
- Laura + Jet

Nate & Hillary,
Thank y’all so much for truly giving us the best boating experience! Hillary, the food on the boat is the best I have ever had. Nate, thank you for making us laugh & taking us to new places. This truly was such an amazing trip & I’m so sad it’s over.
Sail Yeah, lovey!
— Arden

Nate & Hillary,
There is no better gift than providing families & friends with memories that will last a lifetime! You guys made every bit of our trip perfect.
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

Nate and Hillary,
This was truly the best experience and week! It took 4 years for it to happen, but we’re so glad because we got y’all as a crew! Everything we did, ate, and saw was amazing, and we loved getting to know y’all.
Thanks for everything this week! Sail Yeah!
❤️AVG

Nate and Hilary,
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

Nate & Hillary,
I couldn’t have imagined a better trip. Hillary, you are an amazing chef and a wonderful person to be around. Make that cookbook!!! Nate, thanks for captaining. You have brought me to places I never thought I would go. I hope y’all remember this as much as I do.
Sail Yeah!
— Mary Ellen

Nate and Hilary,
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

Hilary & Nate
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!
Christy

Thank you Hillary & Nate! I cannot thank you enough for taking such good care of us (especially me on that first day)! We are so grateful to you both for helping get Steven onboard. Our time here will always have a special place in our hearts (especially the memory of Salt Island)! Steven will also be forever grateful that he got to live out his “Into the Blue” dream (his fav movie). Thanks again- can’t wait to send you the baby pic!
Love,
Steven & Alexa

Thank you so much for such a special week with our family — relaxing, eating, celebrating, swimming, and so much more! Thank you, Captain Nate, for the special locations for snorkeling & exploring. Hilary, thank you for the break from cooking, the delicious, over-the-top meals. Such an amazing time!
XO Catherine

Hilary & Nate,
We had a very special nine days on board Touch the Sky.
The boat was a perfect size for our family celebration.
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

Hillary,
Thank you for answering all my questions.
I loved your boat.
Love, Naomi

Dear Nate & Hillary,
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,
McCormick family

What a fabulous week!! Thank you for EVERYTHING! Wish I could stay & be your SWAB! 😊
Many blessings,
Catherine AKA Katie

Jack

Thank you for an amazing trip and really good food, also for making me laugh.
Holt

Yacht was older but in extremely good condition. The spaces on the boat were amazing. We enjoyed upper deck immensely. The food was outstanding - very much gourmet. Crew was on the spot. Plenty of activities on boat. Crew was amazing. Very professional and accommodating. They knew our every need. It was like we were family - could not asked for a better crew. Captain and First Mate did excellent job giving details and recommendations. We had a medical issue and they went out of their was to adjust and accommodate us. Captain definitely knew the area and had great knowledge of the islands. Exceeded our expectations. Amazing crew - they thought of everything.
Michael

Charter for a wonderful family.

Charter for a wonderful family.

Our group truly loved experiencing the baths and caves on Virgin Gorda. But the Touch the Sky crew took us to the most beautiful beaches & islands to moor. We all especially loved snorkeling at Christmas Cove. Everything was above and beyond our expectations. Absolutely flawless. The food was excellent and always beautifully presented. The crew was incredibly friendly and accommodating. - Suzanne K.

Thank You ❤️

Love us up! I do hope you both ❤️ Cape! If you are heading to Boston & Cape! I could go on about 5-star food - tops any Boston compared & best restaurant! Both of you - super stylin' Richard & Suzanne always smiling - keeping us chill

Many Many Thanks

Lisa + Josh

Richard & Suzanne - You guys are the greatest. We have had so much fun these last two years on Touch the Sky - and it wouldn’t have been the same without y’all - the food, Tequila and Painkillers, all of it! Best of luck in Honda and hopefully there is an excursion in the future for more drinkey wine and judging people! HAHA! Thanks so very much!

You are an awesome team - complementing each other in roles, switching leads, etc. We all have had a sweet time - I can't think of a week with my family where we were all enjoying ourselves together - for so long - you offered a wide range of activities, foods, knowledge, to so many teens!

Thank you! I do hope you look us up if you are heading to Boston & Cape! I could go on about 5-star food - tops any Botched compared to best restaurant! Both of you - super stylin' - Richard & Suzanne always smiling - keeping us chill Many Many Thanks Lisa Fenkel

Another great trip with you guys and Touch the Sky for the books. Everything was fantastic as always - The food the drinks, the snorkeling the islands & island bars, the views, the band and most of all your awesome company and hospitality. We are sad that we won’t be back for another trip with you on Touch the Sky but we look forward to other adventures with you on land... or maybe on the waters in Florida or some other beautiful place. We are happy to call you guys friends ❤️

Love you,

Angie + Mike and Camille

We enjoyed the trip on Touch the Sky so much! You guys are such a great couple! Professional, fun and you got the job done. Suzanne your cooking was amazing! Thanks for all that y'all did and joining us, couldn't have done. it without ya! (Canyon, Texas)

We had an absolutely wonderful time in USVI & BVI aboard Touch The Sky! Richard and Suzanne were perfect, we enjoyed them so in every way!

Thank you for helping us make this a trip to remember!

Richard & Suzanne - Thank you! What an excellent experience, You really made this trip exceptional. Every meal was amazing — Every stop was an adventure — you two are entertaining, informative, and hard working. Salinda & I never needed anything Awesome work you two — We are looking forward to the next one

We will be talking about this trip when we are in the nursing home can't remember our own names!

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

Cpt. Richard & Suzanne - WOW! What can I say about this trip? I'm speechless and after a week on board, you know that's a big thing ; your hospitality, cooking, entertainment I'll never forget this everytime its Wed, it will get me through the week! have FAR EXCEEDED our expectations! Not only are we leaving a fabulous boat, these beautiful islands, but we're also leaving friends in you.

My wife Jennifer and I have been coming down to the BVI for over 20 years now. We have chartered both with a captain as well as doing bare boat excursions. I can honestly say that our week on Touch The Sky has been one of the most rewarding vacations we have ever done. Captain Richard and Chef Suzanne were more than we could have imagined. The skillset for both of them was obvious from the very beginning. However, the way they embraced our family and the way they took care of us was more than special. It was genuine.

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!

Touch The Sky and the crew Captain Richard and Chef Suzanne facilitated one of the most memorable family vacations that our family has ever experienced. There is not enough space on this site to detail the magic that unfolded on our adventure. Touch The Sky was safe, comfortable and allowed us to explore the BVI with total confidence. Again, can't say NEARLY enough about Captain Richard and Chef Suzanne. They embraced our three generation group and made us feel totally at ease. We went into the week being flexible and knowing the weather conditions would determine a lot of what we did. We crammed a LOT of bucket list moments.

We are back from sailing the BVI and WOW!! what an amazing time had. Thank you for all your help getting our trip set up. We had a couple in our group that has sailed 3-4 times before and they said this was the BEST. I think that was because we were there with them but really we had the BEST Boat, and the BEST BEST crew. Suzanne and Richard are a 10+ in our book.

Richard & Suzanne,
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

What a wonderful trip and it was all made possible by the two of you. You guys work so well together it was like a fine oiled machine. Our group offered many challenges and you met each one with grace and patience. Keep up the great work. Anyone would be lucky to sail with you.

Thank you Richard and Suzanne for a very great week. Richard, your knowledge of the area was excellent however Suzanne’s cooking topped it all☺! Our family had some dietary requirements but you guys did a fabulous job. Richard – take care of Suzanne because we need her next time we are back! Great job!

Dennis M.

Richard and Suzanne,
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.

Richard and Suzanne,
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

Richard and Suzanne,
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!!

Terry S.
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.

Richard and Suanne,
Amazing! Can’t say enough positive things. You are both awesome and created the most perfect experience, Best 50th ever!

XOXO
Amy H.

Richard and Suzanne,
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.

Most amazing trip ever! Thank you for your hospitality, knowledge, amazing food, and company. I loved Richard’s silly sense of humor and Suzanne’s amazing cooking. Trip of a lifetime! If you ever need a third on the crew, I may need to quit my full time job!

Kristina M.

Suzanne and Richard,
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).

Leslie F.

Thank you so much Suzanne and Richard for the most amazing week!  Thank you for the most amazing views and experiences.   You both went above and beyond to make this the most memorable trip.  From the never-empty bellies, to the stories and always thinking of everything to make our experience perfect, the two of you are the real dream team!  We are so grateful for your hospitality and charm.   This week has been the perfect reset from the crazy day to day reality, and we are all leaving with a new appreciation of this beautiful world.  Thank you so much for filling our eyes, hearts and bellies.  Cheers and see you again next year!

Dear Richard & Suzanne,
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!!!

Dear Suzanne & Richard,
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 ~

Richard & Suzanne,

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!!

Richard & Suzanne~

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!

Suzanne & Richard,

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!

Suzanne and Richard

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.

Suzanne & Richard,

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!

“You two are the absolute most fun we could have had! Great food, we hit no boats (Lol!), and had a memorable time. See you next year… if you will have us!”

Hi Suzanne & Richard,

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!”

Richard and Suzanne,

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!

You guys were amazing and the Butler Family had a great long weekend. Looking forward to the next trip!

Dear Richard and Suzanne,

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.
