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 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!

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.

Josh and Dawson were the nicest guys who were always helping with the poles and bait, moving us to better spots and cutting the fish!
Chad Buchanan April 6, 2023
Henry and Will are the best!!! We will definitely be back as they made the trip. Very attentive and personable also educated us on what were catching and the area itself. Thanks again for a great trip.

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
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
Had so much fun. The crew was super helpful at taking our fish off the hooks and rebaiting our lines immediately. Definitely will be back!
Mayson Riggins October 15, 2024
Me and my boyfriend had a blast today on our 3/4 day with captain Josh and First mate Dawson. With taking two different charters out on our trip this one was by far the best Josh and Dawson were amazing to us and everyone else on board constantly helping everyone with unhooking fish and baiting. We will for be booking another trip with these gentlemen again hopefully in the near future. Not two mention we saw dolphins so we got a two for one deal.
Liea Daley April 6, 2023
First time we had a private charter. Great time and Josh and Johnny were very informative and helpful. We definitely had enough for supper and then some.
Benita Blouse July 26, 2022
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
We booked a trip to the gulf stream on the Southern Tide. Weather wasn't the best when we got under way, but Captain Dave and mate Michael persevered and got us out to the fish. We had a great day of fishing and the fish were mostly cooperating. Captain Dave moved around until he found the fish that were willing to participate in the fun and they were a tremendous help to us. All those in our group all had a great time and I definitely recommend this crew and boat for anyone's fishing adventure.
Charles Gatch October 19, 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!

We had a great experience with Captain Henry catching stingrays and flounder. He made our trip to Myrtle Beach a great one. He got us in last minute. We highly recommend Little River Fishing Fleet.
Tony Wittenmyer October 15, 2024

Dakota Sweet November 29, 2023
Great experience, we left early morning so the view was amazing. My wife caught a shark my son thought that was so cool!
Presto Reviews June 6, 2023
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!
Ruthie Kiernan September 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
We had a great fishing trip and would totally go again. The water was choppy when we first set out, so mostly everyone was soaked by the waves but no one seemed to mind too much. It was much calmer going back in the evening. The boat took us somewhere 18-20 miles off shore.
Samantha Gettys September 19, 2022
Great experience! Caught multiple fish and even saw dolphins!
Allison White September 6, 2023
Josh and Rex killed it all day, they even came around and helped the kids catch fish when they weren’t pulling fish off the hooks and baiting everyone’s hooks
William Pickeral May 26, 2022
Our family (of 9) very much enjoyed our 4hr trip with Captain Henry and Kelly. We caught a bunch of fish and one shark. No complaints. It was a wonderful addition to our vacation!
Valerie Phebus June 6, 2023
Excellent experience!!! I booked a private charter with the blue runner. the captian and mate was both amazing. They kept the hooks baited and removed all the fish for us all. The mate made sure my 9 year got some large fish. Best charter we have been on by far well worth the money. Would love to go again.
aaron riley June 26, 2022
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

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.

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.

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
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.

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.
