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.

Amazing time aboard the Safari IV. My son can’t stop talking about it and can’t wait to go on another fishing trip!!

Josh and Lee were the best crew and fishing trip I have had! They are friendly, knowledgeable and all around fun guys to go out fishing with. I had a prior bad experience in a 4 hr near shore and was worried on going on our deep sea full day with Little River Fishing fleet again, Josh and Lee sure made me a loyal customer for any and all future trips out. We had a great trolling and bottom fishing 13 hours! Thank you Captain Josh and mate Lee! ???????????☝️☝️☝️☝️???

Was very pleased with this company, but especially our captain and mate Brandon and Ricky. These two went way above and beyond helping out party. We had a elderly disabled person with us and these guys helped and made things happen to ensure that our physically disabled person was safe and able to participate. My daughter asked about seeing dolphins and sharks. Well we fished hit tons of mackerel fallowed a shrimp boat and saw dolphins swimming, then came the best yet (see photo). I can’t brag on these guys more.

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!

Great fishing experience at a very affordable rate.
Steve Adams June 29, 2024
Awesome awesome job from captain Josh and helper Lee!! Couldn't have asked for better. Had 1/2 day deep sea fishing with my family, 12 of us. We all caught multiple fish and had the best time. Highly highly recommend but ask for these 2 specifically!!
Michelle Montgomery July 26, 2022
I had an absolute blast fishing with these guys. So much better than a headboat and not much more money for the open specialty boat trips. We got into the black sea bass on the way to the gulf stream and were catching quality fish all day. The crew was really awesome and did an amazing job keeping everyone rigged, and moving the boat to keep us continually catching. Such a great trip with an outstanding crew. Highly recommend over some of the other companies out there. Best bang for your buck on the water.

I highly recommend Little River Fishing Fleet for anyone looking for a great affordable fishing experience. We went on a 4 hour shark fishing charter and as you can see by the picture, it did not disappoint. Captain Brandon did a great job placing us on the fish. Additionally, deck hand Ricky was as great of a deck hand as you could expect. We never had to wait for more than a few seconds before he was there to help. I will definitely be booking another charter with them next time I’m at Myrtle Beach.
Aldo Lopez August 26, 2021
Great trip. Lots of catches. Crew was very helpful. Several people got sea sick, so definitely pre medicate yourself. We had a great time, would definitely recommend!
Ashley Doyle August 6, 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
I have deep sea fished for over 35 years and used many fleets but have found the best for many reasons: The crew, Brandon and Ricky were beyond nice, knowledgeable, and helpful, and patient with those who were a noob. All bait was provided, included were large minnows which is rare. Cleaning your fish of course was provided and Ricky did it excellently with plenty of filet and a nominal price. I chartered the Gulf Stream trip.
Pam Hartman June 26, 2022
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
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.
jeffery dowdy June 26, 2022
We would definitely recommend Little River to anyone. We took a half day charter for our youngest sons birthday, our crew was Capt. Alex and Micheal on the blue runner. They where hands down a great team and made his birthday one he will remember for sure, on top of all the knowledge they had they also maintained a very clean work and safe environment. They made it a priority to be hands on and helpful for all of us, our only regret was not booking the entire day. Thanks to everyone at Little River Fishing Fleet for making our charter one to remember!
Xavier April 6, 2023
We had a great day fishing with Josh and Dawson! They were very knowledgeable and great with our kids! We will definitely call them again next time we are in Myrtle Beach!
Kim Snavely April 29, 2024

Tom Johnson May 29, 2024
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
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.
Matthew Calhoun October 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

I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a private fishing charter led by the knowledgeable guide, Alec. The experience exceeded my expectations in every aspect. Alec's expertise and attentiveness greatly enhanced our fishing endeavors, ensuring a successful and enjoyable outing. His professionalism and dedication to providing exceptional service were evident throughout the trip. I wholeheartedly recommend Alec as a guide for anyone considering a fishing charter. Thank you, Alec, for an unforgettable experience on the water.

1st time Deep sea fishing and it was a great experience. Lee and Mike did a great job finding the places to catch fish and were very knowledgeable and made the trip a fun experience.
Jason Ovall October 16, 2023
Great 4 hour trip with Captain Brandon and crew member Ricky. Brandon moved the boat several times to make sure we kept catching fish. They were very attentive to ensure they kept bait on our hooks and removed the fish as fast as we could catch them. There were 20 people Caught about 35 fish during our 2 hour fishing and had 5 we could keep. Sea bass and pig fish. Great time for the monet. I would do it again
Melissa Watts July 26, 2022
This was great, josh and Dawson kept the lines stretched all day. We had a great time, and always book the bigger boat. This was the best trip so far!
Robert Harris October 29, 2023
If you wanna go and have fun and catch fish go with these folks on a specialty trip to the Gulf Stream and ask for josh and Dawson, grate people with good work ethic and customer concern! Caught a stringer full then some, if you need fish cleaned afterwards just tell Dawson he’ll be glad to take care of ya!! Thanks guys and hope for many more to come
Cody Johnson October 19, 2022

Presto Reviews June 6, 2023

If I get the chace I will definitely come back and go fishing with ya'll again. Guys get some new batteries in those scales. Ya'll are really good. Couldn't of landed the grouper withou your help
Jason Burge September 6, 2023
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!

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.
