Garrett A. Napolitano

I’m a safety-obsessed aviator and proven leader who went from commanding vessels in the brutal Bering Sea to earning my wings with an exceptional record at ATP Flight School. With nearly 1,400 total flight hours (hitting 1,500 in the next few weeks), over 1,100 PIC hours, and a Commercial Pilot Certificate with Multi-Engine Land and Instrument ratings, I fly with precision, discipline, and zero tolerance for compromise.

Before aviation, I was a Captain in the Bering Sea, leading crews through some of the harshest conditions on the planet. I commanded the F/V Icy Mist during its record-breaking 5.7 million pound season and ran high-volume gillnet operations in Bristol Bay with a flawless zero-incident safety record. I’ve led teams in extreme environments, conducted daily safety briefings, and built a reputation for calm, decisive leadership when it matters most.

Now a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI, CFII, and MEI) with my ATP-CTP written complete and a current First Class Medical, I’m transitioning that same intensity and accountability into professional aviation. I graduated ATP’s Part 141 Professional Pilot Program with an outstanding checkride record and I’m hungry to build turbine and jet time while continuing to lead from the front.

I’m not just chasing hours — I’m building a career defined by safety, professionalism, and results. Alaska forged me. Aviation sharpened me. I’m ready for what’s next.
