Yankee Fleet
For Ages 13+ • Extra fishing time & limited capacity!
Yankee Fleet in Gloucester, Massachusetts, operates guided fishing trips focused on overnight and jigging experiences. The fleet offers an Overnight Fishing - One Night aboard the Yankee Star, a 22-hour trip targeting haddock and halibut with limited capacity for a more personalized experience. Bunks are available for overnight comfort, and a cash-only galley is onboard.
The Marathon is a 12-hour trip that departs at 5am and runs with approximately 30% fewer participants to maximize space and fishing time. The 10 Hour Jigging Trip is a daylight jigging outing designed to return before sunset, delivering extended jigging time and scenic coastal fishing. Deep Water Jig Fishing is a 12-hour, jig-only marathon that fishes between 315 and 520 feet using un-baited teasers; this bait-free deep-water program debuted in fall 2019.
Crews provide expert guidance on tackle selection and technique suitable for each trip type, helping anglers adapt to specific methods such as jigging or deep-water tactics. Yankee Fleet emphasizes clear trip descriptions, specific departure times, and onboard amenities to help anglers prepare. The business serves Gloucester anglers and visiting fishers seeking targeted trips for haddock, halibut, and other groundfish species common to local waters. With a mix of overnight endurance trips, reduced-capacity marathon days, and specialized jigging programs, Yankee Fleet offers anglers distinct options to match experience level and fishing goals.
Passengers are advised to review trip details before booking, bring weather-appropriate clothing, and follow crew instructions; clear pre-trip information and crew guidance support preparation and safety for each specific fishing experience.
