Author Biography

Captain Nathan (Nate) Riley has been around boats since his early teens when he helped his stepfather prepare for a transatlantic crossing from California to Scotland. He began working on boats professionally in 2001 as a 26-year-old sailboat captain. He crossed the Gulf Stream weekly from Miami, FL to the Bahamas and participated in organized shark feeds. Since then, sailing has taken him all over the world - from Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico to his current stop, the Bahamas and Virgin Islands.

Capt. Nate is an avid scuba diver who loves underwater photography. He spends about nine months out of the year at sea and loves to share his passion for the open water not only with fellow sailors, but also with new and seasoned divers alike. For him, it's about sending his guests back home relaxed and smiling.

When he isn't sailing on the high seas, Capt. Nate resides in Ocala, FL where he can be found running marathons or trail running through the Ocala National Forest. His favorite hobbies - aside from sailing - are writing, making dinner for his family, and babysitting his two grandchildren.
