The WOLF is a classic 74' topsail schooner built in 1982-1983 in Panama City, Florida by Master builder Willis Ray and Finbar Gittelman, Admiral and First Sea Lord of the Conch Republic. Designed by Merit Walter, the WOLF is a Norfolk Rover class steel hull schooner. Home ported at Key West's Safe Harbor Marina on Stock Island, the vessel is owned and operated by Key West Packet Lines, Inc Designated the Flagship of the Conch Republic and the City of Key West, the WOLF is patterned after the blockade runners that plied the waters of the Florida Straits, Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean in the 19th century. U.S.C.G. certified for 44 passengers for day sails, 20 passengers coast wise and six passengers for international voyages, the WOLF has a cargo capacity of 20 tons and provides an ideal setting for dockside receptions, day sails and sunset cruises. The WOLF has been operating in Key West for twenty-six years and has come to symbolize the essence of that island spirit which draws visitors from all parts of the world. The WOLF often serves as lead vessel in local harbor parades and traditional events, including Key West's annual Conch Republic Indepence Celebration's Great Sea Battle in April and the Pirates in Paradise Festival which runs Thanksgiving weekend through the first weekend of December.
