What a day! We had the best time. Captain Ryan was hands down the best. He was a down to earth no bs guy and his deck hand was awesome quick to help and always explaining. Catain Ryan and Jimmy were always there to help, give advice and was hands on. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We WILL be back next June and we Will request these two. The owner Frank was great with communicating things we needed and where to get them and everytime I had a question he always responded within the hour of the question asked.
Since I got back ppl have asked me about it and I 100% tell them to look for Ironclad and book them. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This was my 1st time along with the other 4 guys that were w me so my expectations were all over the place and I now how this experience as a gold star standard. Thanks for the memories guys and continue being awesome. You guys stand out and made us feel welcomed and like we were just out on a fishing trip w family.

I booked Captain Frank Pitetti’s Ironclad in July as my grandson’s 21st birthday gift.  It was his first attempt at catching tuna.  From well before the charter date, Captain Pitetti was in contact with us and stayed in touch making certain he could attend to all of our needs for the trip.  He and his deckhand, James, were skilled, professional and welcoming.  They worked relentlessly to find and put us on tuna from early morning to early evening, frequently changing tactics and lures.  With their help my grandson had three hookups and landed two yellowfin tuna over 30lbs and I made everyone’s day by catching a 90lb bluefin.  It was an outstanding first trip and we are already on the calendar to fish the Ironclad next season!

Took my two sons, ages 9 and 11 on their first fishing trip. With our limited fishing experience I was worried about our ability to fish. The captain and crew were amazing. I can only describe the service like that of a five star hotel. The captain and crew kept us on the fish and helped all of us throughout the whole trip. My whole family can not stop talking about the trip and already want to plan another one.

Frank and his crew were awesome, they worked really hard to get us some fish. All the boats out were having trouble getting fish because the big charters would take the whe school with excessive chum. Frank stuck through it with us and we had a great time. This crew is great and will work hard trying to get you to where the fish are to insure that you get a catch.
