 In 1944, on a shore 35 miles north of Boston, Massachusetts, a young boy named Jerry Hill began taking visitors on an afternoon sail aboard his small sailboat. It is from this childhood business the Yankee
Fleet was born. Today Jerry, his
wife Carol and family operate the Yankee
Fleet with vessels located in Key West, Florida and Gloucester, Massachusetts
Located
in Key West, Florida, one of
the jewels of the Yankee Fleet is the catamaran “Yankee Freedom II”. The Yankee Freedom II is the fastest, largest and newest state-of-the-art vessel ferrying passengers from Key West to Fort Jefferson Dry Tortugas National Park.
The Yankee
Fleet in Gloucester, Massachusetts has over 7 vessels and has grown to become New England's leader in whale watching excursions, deep sea fishing trips, education, whale conservation and marine stewardship.
The Yankee Freedom II is a member of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). We have also been honored with the ISO Environmental Award. Therefore, our services conform to International Standards of quality, service, environmental awareness and reliability. No other fleet in Florida has this distinguished honor.
We are also ADA (American Disability Act) compliant.
