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.
