Nate first sailed around the Caribbean during high school as part of a semester-at-sea program. The very first stop was St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Born in February, Nate has always felt a strong connection to the water, but the moment he saw the crystal-clear blue waters surrounding St. Thomas, he knew he had found his home.

After graduating from high school, Nate purchased a one-way ticket back to St. Thomas and began the journey that would shape his life. Over the next 25 years, he mastered the waters throughout the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, building lasting relationships with locals and discovering the hidden gems that make these islands so special.
