About the Boat and Crew

The Boat
The Patty-J is a Bertram, 35 feet long with and 11.5 foot beam, powered by two caterpillar 3208T diesel enigines. The boat features two fish finders, two gps systems, two radars, and two radios. All electronics include top of the line recent models. Our equipment includes custom made rods and penn reels, all exceptionally well maintained.
Captain John Parente has over 45 years fishing experience in the New Enlgand waters. He has caught everything from offshore species like huge swordfish and giant tuna to inshore species like striped bass and fluke. He was the last person to take a giant tuna off Nebraska shoal before the tuna dissapeared from the area. Day in and day out Captain John finds the fish to satisfy his clients. All crew are drug tested by the Rhode Island Party and Charter Boat Association Drug Testing Consortium. The drug testing program consists of periodic, random, and incident related testing as well as a drug education session.
