Yankee Deep Sea Fishing Providing ocean adventures since 1944

Limited Capacity

These trips on the Yankee Freedom only take a maximum of 45 anglers, this leaves plenty of elbow room on this 100 foot vessel. We fish 8 across the stern and only 19 each side, very comfortable. We have a full cash galley on board for breakfast, lunch, and diner. The Freedom also has 40 comfortable semi-private bunks available on board.

NEW!! 2 Day Cashes/Fippennies Overnight Trip

Cashes Ledge is a submarine mountain range that is about 80 miles east of Gloucester, Ma., which locates it in the middle of the Gulf of Maine. This unique biological, geological, and oceanographic characteristics, makes it a very opportunistic fishing area. Cashes has also been closed to commercial fishing year round for some time now. Fippennies is also in the middle of the Golf Of Maine (approx. 60 miles east of Gloucester) and is a large plateau rising up out of the depths. Fippennies is notably productive for cod, haddock, and the occasional halibut. These trips will leave at 8pm Tuesday and we will start fishing approximately 3am Wednesday. We will continue the fishing effort until 11 am Thursday, a little over 30 hrs of being on the fishing grounds. We look forward to seeing you and joining us on these exciting trips!
