Calabash Fishing Charters — Gulf Stream, Inshore & Dolphin Cruises

Little River Fishing Fleet — Calabash Fishing Charters

Gulf Stream Fishing

Gulf Stream fishing charters operate from Calabash, North Carolina and include full-day offshore options that travel 40–50 miles out to the Gulf Stream. The fleet lists an 11.5 Hours - Hurricane II - 75 ppl max trip on the Hurricane II and an 11 Hour Gulf Stream limited-capacity specialty fishing option for 15–20 participants. These Gulf Stream trips target snapper and grouper, with opportunities for larger species such as king mackerel and amberjack. Specialty runs often include premium bait and focused crew support for fighting and landing larger fish.

Inshore, Half-Day & Specialty Fishing

Inshore and half-day offerings fit families and shorter schedules. Options include the Inshore Fishing Capt.Scotty II trip aboard a 2019 Robalo Cayman (onboard restroom and stereo) and 1/2 Day Fishing head boat trips (4.5 hours) that often provide gear and licenses. Specialty trips include 1/2 Day Specialty Fishing on black fish banks, Shark & Bottom Specialty Fishing (4 hours), and a new 3/4 Day Specialty Fishing trip that uses advanced fish-finding technology to locate black sea bass, sharks, and other bottom species.

Private Charters & Dolphin Cruises

Private 1/2 Day Fishing Charters accommodate up to 6 people with instant online booking; larger group arrangements are available by phone. Private charters allow customized bottom fishing or trolling experiences and offer small-group attention from the captain. The Dolphin Adventure Cruise provides narrated wildlife and dolphin-watching departures from Little River and is described as a Myrtle Beach region tradition for over 30 years, offering family-friendly sightseeing instead of angling.
