Captain: Nathaniel Ritcher
Captain Nate
Nate is a life-long sailor with a passion for sharing his love of the sea. After landing his first job as a deckhand aboard the America's Cup winning twelve meter raceboat "Intrepid", he embarked on a journey around the world on a vast array of fine sailing yachts. He worked exclusively in the superyacht industry for six years as a deckhand, engineer then captain aboard vessels ranging from seventy to one hundred and twenty feet long, plying the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Atlantic and Pacific Oceans including two transatlantic passages and two trips through the Panama Canal. After a soul searching journey across the Indian Subcontinent by motorcycle and South East Asia he landed in New York City running day charter boats, a ferry, and teaching sailing courses. Seventeen years after signing his first contract to join a boats crew, Nate now runs his own sailing charter and yacht management business in The Hamptons and has taken the helm of the much loved Bali 5.4 "Ithaka". He is beyond excited to share stories and new adventures with his incoming charter guests this winter.
Chef Abby
Abby grew up in the Rocky Mountains of colorado before moving to Florida in 2014, where she began her career in the maritime world shortly after. Initially she spent time working as a stewardess, cruising the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and New England but her passion was always cooking delicious and cultural meals for her friends and family. In 2021 she made the jump to the position of stew/cook on a variety of small vessels and it was clear this was what she loved! After another couple years of honing her craft she decided to add some diversity to her culinary experience and went to Montana, where she worked as a sous chef at private guest ranch. It was here she gained some incredible knowledge of food, gastronomy, and giving guests a true farm to table experience. After that, Abby felt called back to the ocean and has since joined Ithaka where she couldn’t be happier to provide the guests with her repertoire of cultural food and dining experiences!

And Captain - thank you for sharing your music and adventures with us. And Briley - I SO appreciate the extra efforts to make things diary-free for me- so special! We hope to see you again along the way!
We've loved snorkeling, tectite, hiking, and sailing. We've also enjoyed hearing about your adventures around the world - and we're glad that you were part of our adventures in St. John.
Wishing you all the best in the days to come.
My favorite part of the trip is always the planning. Thank you for taking the time to talk out all our plans and timelines. We had such a smooth trip. We will always remember my husband's 46th birthday as the first year we sailed on Ithaka!
Thank you to Briley for all the planning, shopping, prepping and cooking double meals for the kids and adults. Everything was wonderful!
Thank you for a fabulous vacation! This is a trip that our family has talked about for years and now that we have taken the trip, it will be one that we talk about for years to come!
From swimming with sea turtles to snorkeling the Tektite siko, it was all wonderful! Thank you for taking us free diving, Clayton, we loved every minute of it. The kids also loved surfing behind the dinghy and all the time spent out on the water.
Thank you for all of the wonderful food, Briley! Thank you also for the breakfast accommodations for the sleepy teens! Good luck to both of you as you continue your travels.
Amazing time on your boat! Love meeting you and sharing time with you! We will always remember this wonderful week - Jill you are beyond words - one of a kind. Thank you for the special accommodations with our gluten-free diet. Hope we cross paths again. Loved the food - meals were awesome!
Thank you for an amazing week! Everything exceeded our expectations... the sailing, food, drinks, ports, excursions. We hope to see you sometime in the future whether in the islands or New England. Your skill and thoughtfulness and care, are second to none. Love every minute aboard with you!

The pinnacle of the trip was the romantic evening finalized on the last night – You pulled together a giant event to celebrate our friendship! Memories – what a great time!
From tricky challenges to snorkeling to dance parties on the fly deck, this will be a vacation to remember!
Wow! What an amazing week! This was the best trip ever! Thanks for creating so many for special memories for us – unique stops, morning runs, delicious meals, beautiful sails, festive cocktails, unforgettable sunset views, a romantic happy hour on the beach, and so much more. This was a trip we will treasure forever!
Thank you for an amazing week! I just wish I could celebrate my 50th birthday every year :) Your attentiveness to every detail, your willingness to help with a party and the beach 'tin cup' night are so appreciated. Thank you for everything you did to make this trip with friends so special!
Jennifer is a real professional. She put together 5 star meals, that our family is still raving about!
She has a great personality to entertain people, and treated us like royalty!
Jason went above and beyond making sure we were comfortable and also entertained! He made sure to bring us to the best snorkeling spots. His talent as a bar tender also was much appreciated! 😊
Jason and Jennifer worked well together and we would highly recommend them to anyone!! It was a trip of a life time!!
Thanks for everything,
Mike Dietz
