Departs Daily from the Closest port to the ocean. More fishing time and less riding time
Took my two boys (9 &10) shark and bottom fishing. We caught so many fish (sea bass) and had a few keepers. We caught a small shark and an octopus too. Captain Tab and First mate Kelly were so friendly and helpful, especially helpful with the two boys while landing fish. I will definitely book another trip with Little River Fishing Fleet and I will ask for Captain Tab and Kelly again if possible.

Great experience!!! The crew were very laid back and easy to talk to. Josh and Dave were constantly giving tips and moving to new spots, to enhance the experience! We caught a lot of fish. They filleted them right there on the dock! ( The pelicans loved them for it!) Great experience; would go there again!!!!

We had an awesome experience! It was my kids’ first deep sea fishing experience and the staff made it an exceptional experience for them! Ask for Captain Brandon and Dawson if you can!
Crystal Spain August 19, 2022
Great trip. Our Captin was amazing. He did a great job of putting us on fish and walking those who where new through the process. Next deep sea fishing trip I book will definitely be with Little River fishing fleet.

We had an awesome fishing experience with Captain Robert and first mate David. Both made our experience first rate. Everyone had a great time from grandma and grandpa all the way to the kids. We will definitely sail with them again.

My husband and I embarked on a fishing excursion today with Captain Tab and Michael, and despite a bout of seasickness, it turned out to be an excellent experience. The trip was punctual, with the boat leaving precisely at the scheduled time and returning right on time. Even with 11 guests, the boat never felt overcrowded, providing a comfortable setting for everyone. We went approximately 8-10 miles out. I managed to catch a grouper and a variety of smaller fish, and the crew efficiently cleaned the ones we were allowed to keep. Michael's attentiveness and helpfulness truly stood out. He played a pivotal role in making our trip enjoyable, despite the seasickness. In the end, it was a memorable trip, and we appreciate the professionalism and friendliness of the crew. Kudos to Michael for going above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great time. We look forward to another excursion with this fantastic team.

Frequent flyer here. Captain Josh and Dawson and Captain Lee will put you on BUCKET LIST FISH. Hands down the best fishing charter company on the east coast. Highly recommend the Gulf Stream charter for serious fun and fish. Shout out to Captain Brittany, as well as Mike, Blake, Tiffany, Kelsey, first mate Cameron, and Destiny and Captain Henry. Thanks for the priceless memories and camaraderie !

We had an amazing trip, we booked the 6 hour morning trip and had a blast. Ricky and Brandon did everything in there power to ensure a safe and fun trip Ricky was always there to assist, and when brandy was not steering the boat he was also there to help, a couple of great guys that have a true passion and love for what they do. If you guys are reading this, thank you again.

We took our very first fishing trip in May. We had a fantastic experience ! Our Captain was Brittany and she made sure we brought home some fish! Kelly was the Mate for the day and his enthusiasm for each one of us when we caught a fish was infectious! We had so much FUN! The crew made it their job that we did! It was relaxing and enjoyable! An experience everyone should enjoy! Go on… GO FISHING! Give them a call for an awesome adventure! We love Little River Fishing Fleet!

The crew of the “SS Blue Runner” was ready to embark on their maiden voyage out into open waters. The young, but trusty Captain Holden was at the helm. It would be a beautiful day of catch and release of a number of Genuine Red Snappers, a wee bit undersized Gag Grouper, a Sandbar Shark and some other small fish. But a catch of 10 keepers came in an assortment of Spanish Mackerel, Black Sea Bass, Trigger Fish and a Ringtail Porgy. Since 1985, Little River Fishing Fleet has been the area leader in Deep Sea Fishing Charters and Open Boat Fishing Trips in the Myrtle Beach area. Our trip went out of Calabash, North Carolina right on the Calabash Creek. Our well weathered but sturdy boat the Blue Runner was a 35 foot Custom Fishing Vessel with a 13 foot beam and a semi-enclosed cabin. Our crew of one, Holden, was knowledgeable, efficient and friendly making our outing an enjoyable time.

Captain Henry and Dylan gave me the greatest fishing experience of my life, I have zero complaints and the day was definitely a day I’ll never forget and you won’t regret if you book these 2 guys the knowledge shared and patience was outstanding
Hunter Spearman October 15, 2024
The Little River Fishing Fleet did not disappoint. The boat was clean, provided us with plenty of bait and most importantly, Captain Brandon put us on the fish! We had an amazing fishing experience for several reasons. We had one of the most hard working, dedicated and experienced First Mate on board, Rick. Between Rick and Capt Brandon, they both were there to assist with anything and everything, from tangles to baiting our hooks as well as fishing tips. A huge thanks to Capt Brandon and Rick and I look forward to seeing you guys again (soon).
Robert Nunez June 26, 2022

My friend and I went on the half day specialty fishing tour with Captain Lee and Alex, we had a blast! I had never fished before and it had been a few years for my friend, and they both made us feel safe and comfortable. Captain Lee and Alex were there to assist putting bait on the hook and cheering us on when we caught any fish. Couldn’t have been a better charter, we recommend for ALL!! Tip the crew they deserve it!
T Trefethen March 6, 2023
Tab is a great guide and gave us a great time. Caught plenty of fish. Enjoyed eating our catch for lunch too. Will go again if the opportunity arises
Julie Wilson December 19, 2022
Captain Henry and First Mate Kelly sure showed us Okies a great time on a four hour private trip trolling and bottom fishing! They had us on mackerel almost immediately and so much so that we caught enough in an hour and a half that we were done trolling and we wanted to go try shark fishing a little further out.we ended up catching five sharks in another hour and a half and we’re ready to head back in. Henry and Kelly were great and even humored us and gaffed a jellyfish for us because we couldn’t quit gawking over them in the water. Lol If we ever come back, we’ll probably do a deep sea trip next time and get into more species. We’ll definitely be requesting this crew again!
Katie Clark June 6, 2023
Dawson and Lee were the best crew I ever had the pleasure to fish with. They treated everyone like gold and were super helpful. We will return!
GARRETT LEWIS November 29, 2023
Joined Captain Josh and mate Dawson today for a deep sea fishing trip. While the ocean waves were not cooperating Josh and Dawson did an amazing job of putting us on the fish!! So much fun. Would love to go back out there with Little River Fishing Fleet with Josh/Dawson! Great job guys.
Deb Fancher April 6, 2023
Highly recommend this company. I usually book them every other month for the gulf stream trips. Staff are incredibly friendly, accommodating and hardworking. Always have positive interactions with them. Captain Josh is a class act and will put you on big fish. He and his mates have made me a repeat customer. Always a pleasure fishing with them. And the kind women who answers the phone and checks me in, she's also wonderful. This fleet has good vibes all around.
Vincent Klomps December 19, 2022
Didn’t catch much as the waters were super choppy today. But the guides Brianna and I believe Brittany were awesome. Good experience will definitely be back.
derek dicken June 29, 2024
My daughter and I went out with Josh and Dawson on the 6 hour trip Saturday and loved it so much that we booked an 11 hour trip and went out again on Tuesday. They are fantastic!!
heidi courtright October 30, 2023
Always enjoy going out with the crew. They are good at what they do. Always catch fish with them. Enjoyable day trip.
david lynn November 19, 2022
Excellent fishing trip! We went on a 4 hour private charter. Our first mate was Oscar who is amazing!!!! He was so informative and made sure that we were having a great trip! He let us do the fishing as he baited and helped keep us reeling at the right speed! We all loved when we caught 3 sharks at the same time-2 on one pole and one on another which promptly got tangled! Our Captain did an excellent job of putting us right where we needed to be for the fish! It was a great trip and I would highly recommend them!
Skyler Smith August 26, 2020
Fantastic fishing trip!! We caught so many fish I lost count AMAZING fishing trip
mike ambrow October 6, 2023
Went out on Tuesday with Captain Lee and First Mate Henry who are awesome!! Both of them were very personable and helped with lines, bait and finding the best fishing spots. There were only 8 people fishing for the 9-1 pm trip and our lines were always baited and they took off the small fish to throw back. We had several Black Sea bass keepers and had the most wonderful day on the water. On the way back in, the dolphins were cresting the water and Captain Lee circled the boat around them so we could watch and enjoy ? highly recommended!

INSHORE FISHING CHARTERS
One of our Most Popular Trips – Inshore Fishing Targeting Reds, Drum, & Flounder
Our 2019 Robalo Cayman, 24 and a half foot shallow water vessel is perfect for getting you deep in the winding marshes, or in those flat water situations that our larger vessels are unable to reach. These light tackle, light rod trips are beginner friendly, and get you on the flat water for a day of fishing in North Myrtle Beach and Southeast North Carolina.
You are covered under our fishing license. Also, we’ll provide the rod, reel, tackle, and bait. You provide the smiles and sense of adventure.
What am I going to catch?
On the shorter trips, you’ll catch a lot of fish, but due to federal regulations, you’ll have to throw a lot of them back. The further out the trip goes, the more fish you are able to catch, keep, and bring back to the dock with you. Our experienced Captains will always do their best to put you on the fish. Call us in the office to find out what’s currently being caught.
Where does the boat depart?
We have two different departure points. The Little River waterfront and the Calabash waterfront. Both are close to the inlet and allow for maximum fishing time. We’ll give you exact directions when you book your trip, or you can call us for more specifics at 843-361-3323
Is this family friendly?
Yes! We love to take kids fishing, however we don’t recommend that children 4 and under venture out onto the high seas for personal safety reasons. With a mate to help bait hooks and remove fish, this is the perfect chance to take those above 4 out for a day on the water.
Let’s talk about your next Deep Sea Fishing Adventure.
We have decades of experience putting people on the fish, and we offer several options to make that happen. From the budget friendly, classic head boat trip, the specialty bottom fishing, trolling, or shark trip, to the fully customized private charter. We have you covered. And, one of the things that we do well is putting like minded people together to reduce the cost, and still provide that private charter feel. Send us a note below about what you are looking for and we’ll get back to you quickly.
