Captain Jerrry Hill, Founder of Yankee Fleet

Family owned Yankee Fleet has been taking parties
deep sea fishing for over 55 years

That's longer than any other deep sea fishing company in New England.

Plus we are closest to both Jeffrey's Ledge and Stellwagen Bank, two of the richest fishing grounds in the Atlantic -- and we have the most experienced captians anywhere.

7 NEWS Meteorologist Chikage Windler Catches her very first fish aboard Yankee Fishing

We were proud to host Chikage Windler, and her camera crew from Channel 7 News, aboard the Yankee Spirit and tremendously excited to help her catch her first fish.

She learned quickly and ended up catching a good sized haddock. We loved how she has captured what Yankee Fleet and deep sea fishing is all about - having fun with with everyone on the boat, catching fish, and bringing home enough fish for a fish fry with the neighborhood.

Enjoy a Unique Yankee Fishing Advantage

Yankee fishing excursions travel to the areas known as Stellwagen Bank and Jeffrey's Ledge. With 60 years experience finding the best fishing spots, you are assured to have the best opportunity to catch fish and have fun doing it. Our fleet of vessels have been specially designed to provide the best platform for fishing that you are to see anywhere. Our captains have the most knowledge of the best fishing spots. We can say this simply because we have the most experience, after all we're the originators of deep-sea party fishing from Gloucester.

What shall we expect on our Deep Sea Fishing trip

While all trips are different, generally, we will spend an hour or so steaming out to where the captain believes will be a good opportunity. We'll spend some time there, and then make a few shifts to other areas. Take advantage of the shift, while steaming grab a snack from the galley. You don't want to miss out on the fishing time. Before you know it, it's time to head home. You can bring the catch to the mates at the stern, who'll filet the fish for a nominal price. The mates work hard for you to make sure you have a great time.

Experience our Standards of Excellence

With some of the most experienced captains and crew in the business, you can be certain your trip will be safe, and also of the highest quality. Yankee Fleet's highly acclaimed safety record is unmatched. Yankee upholds a rigid drug free environment.
