Hurricane Fleet is a charter and excursion company based in Calabash, North Carolina, offering a range of marine experiences that include Gulf Stream fishing, specialty fishing trips, dolphin-watching cruises, sunset outings, and private charters. The fleet operates multiple vessels suited for half-day, three-quarter-day, and full-day offshore trips as well as family-friendly coastal cruises. For over 75 years, Hurricane Fleet has scheduled weekly Gulf Stream excursions that travel 30 to 50 miles offshore, targeting species such as snapper and grouper and offering anglers the chance to catch larger pelagic fish.
Departures leave from the village of Calabash, providing convenient access for visitors to the Carolina coast. Signature offerings include the Dolphin Adventure Cruise — marketed as the Original Myrtle Beach Dolphin Cruise — where every guest receives a free shark tooth, and themed seasonal events such as the Christmas Regatta cruise on November 30, 2024. Private half-day charters are available with instant booking for up to six people, and larger limited-capacity specialty charters accommodate 15–20 guests for more intimate fishing experiences.
Hurricane Fleet supplies onboard equipment for many trips, operates climate-controlled cabins for comfort on specific cruises, and lists vessels such as the SUNDANCER and SOUTHERN COMFORT for private charters. The company’s trip roster covers options for beginners, families, and serious anglers, with clear trip lengths from 4.5-hour half-day outings to extended 11–11.5-hour Gulf Stream adventures. All descriptions and itineraries are presented in third-person factual terms to help visitors choose the appropriate experience for their group.
