Little River Fishing Fleet - Mate Trip always working to keep bait on our lines!

We went out on a half-day trip and it was awesome. We put a lot of fish enjoyed ourselves and they…read morewill clean the fish when you return to the dock.

Very Disappointing Experience -- I Will Not Be Returning…read more On September 14, 2026, five of us booked an 8-hour private deep-sea fishing charter with Little River Fishing Fleet. Our original trip was scheduled for September 15, but Little River called us the day before and asked if we could move the trip to September 14 because of bad weather expected the following day. We agreed, and our trip ran from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. At first, I was impressed with the company for being proactive about the weather. Unfortunately, that was probably the best part of the experience. We were greeted by Captain Henry and his assistant, Jordan. Captain Henry was knowledgeable about fishing and answered many of our questions. He also helped one of the people in our group when a hook needed to be removed from their finger. Little River also cleaned and filleted the fish we caught. Unfortunately, the negatives far outweighed the positives. The biggest problem was that this was supposed to be an 8-hour deep-sea fishing trip, but we spent far too much of that time NOT fishing. The boat was slow and appeared old, and the seats were extremely uncomfortable. We spent a significant amount of time simply riding to and from fishing locations. On top of that, approximately one hour of our trip was spent catching bait. I understand that catching bait can be part of fishing, but when you're paying for an 8-hour private deep-sea charter, losing an hour to catching bait--combined with the excessive amount of time spent traveling--leaves surprisingly little time actually fishing. We also had an issue with how one situation on the boat was handled. The captain yelled at someone in our group. In my opinion, if customers are expected to know exactly how to handle a fishing rod and what to do when a large fish hits, those instructions should be clearly explained BEFORE someone is hooked up to a large fish--not after a mistake is made. I was also disappointed with the equipment. Based on what we experienced, I did not feel that the boat and equipment were properly suited to the type of fishing we were expecting from an 8-hour deep-sea charter. Then there was the issue that concerned me the most: barracuda. We caught five large fish, approximately 3-4 feet long. Four of those five fish were barracuda. During the trip, the discussion about whether barracuda were safe to eat left us with the impression that they were okay to consume. After returning home, I researched the issue extensively and spoke with other deep-sea fishing companies. I learned that barracuda can carry a significant risk of ciguatera poisoning, particularly larger barracuda. That made me very uncomfortable with how the issue was presented to us during the trip. I'm not claiming the captain intentionally misled us. I am saying that, based on the information we were given and what I learned afterward, I believe customers should receive much clearer information about the potential health risks associated with eating barracuda before being encouraged to keep or consume them. To be fair, I appreciated Little River contacting us about the weather, Captain Henry's fishing knowledge, and the fact that they cleaned our fish. But an 8-hour private charter is a significant expense, and I expected much more time actually fishing--not spending large portions of the trip riding around and catching bait. Five people paid for an 8-hour deep-sea fishing experience. We caught five large fish, four of which were barracuda, and I left feeling that we simply did not get the fishing experience we paid for. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to Little River Fishing Fleet, and based on our experience, I cannot recommend them. If you're considering booking with them, I would strongly recommend asking detailed questions beforehand about the boat, travel time, how much time will actually be spent fishing, whether you'll be expected to catch your own bait, what equipment will be used, and what they recommend doing with barracuda if you catch them.

Let me start by saying I've been on the Hurricane Fleet at least 7-8 times over the past two years…read more We always take friends and family when they come to town because, even though dolphin sightings are never guaranteed, the ride itself has usually been worth the $31. That being said, I hesitate to post this because I truly do love supporting local businesses. But with tourist season starting, I think it's important to share an honest experience. The first few times we went out with this company, it was amazing. We followed the shrimp boats and not only saw tons of dolphins, but also got a close-up look at the shrimp boats pulling in shrimp and other sea creatures. They would even bring a few things onboard for the kids (and adults) to see before tossing them back. It made the experience feel really unique and memorable. However, ever since the shrimp boat has been out of commission (probably the last year and a half), we honestly haven't seen dolphins the last 3-4 trips. I completely understand there are never guarantees with wildlife, but it has been a little disappointing. It's still a nice boat ride for the cost -- I would just suggest not getting your kids too excited about dolphins and making sure they understand sightings are never guaranteed. Yesterday, we went on the sunset cruise, and unfortunately it was one of the worst experiences we've had. I understand the policy is that the cruise runs rain or shine, but the ocean conditions were rough enough that I truly don't think they should have taken people out. There were young children onboard, people getting sick, and several passengers who were visibly scared as we went through large swells offshore. As someone who has been on this boat many times, even I was uncomfortable. If it had been my first trip, I honestly would have been terrified. Considering the boat had already gone out multiple times earlier that day, I feel like they should have recognized the conditions were not ideal -- especially knowing there was little chance of seeing dolphins in waters that rough. I just think better judgment should have been used. If you're visiting for a family vacation, I would strongly recommend checking ocean conditions beforehand, because I'm not sure cancellations are considered unless absolutely necessary.

I have been on dolphin/sunset cruises before with other charters, they have always been so…read moreenjoyable, but this was hands down the worst experience of my life. The Captain started by saying they can't guarantee we'll see any dolphins (we didn't)...and then followed up by saying "let see how angry the Atlantic is", she was very angry by my standards. I don't know how large the waves were but I can tell you at one point I called my husband who was back home because I was terrified for my life. On board there was a young family with a baby, a young mom was puking overboard. Another lady on oxygen. The captain never should have let us go out to sea. or they should have at least given people a heads up about the waves. we didn't know how bad it would be, but I'm sure he knew it wouldn't be a comfortable ride considering they charter every few hours and since they told us "we keep in touch with local fisherman".Do better!!! I will never step foot on that boat again and I will never recommend it to any person.

It was a fantastic fishing first experience for my son and I - Thank you Captain David, Jason &…read moreJoe! The Captain used radar to find fish spots and there were multiple catches all around the boat. Things to know before you go: 1: For the 8:30 am fishing- Come at least 30 minutes early.. If not you'll get yelled at by the owner. I found out the hard way... But apparently it's in an email that gets sent out before your voyage. 2: You can bring plastic water bottles with you & they sell water/soda/snacks onboard. 3. There's not a ton of shade but bring a hat and you'll be good. 4: They sell shrimp as an upgrade fish bait and give you octopus included with your ticket. 5: Wear shoes with grip (boat shoes) so you can move around with ease. We honestly had a blast (once we got on the boat) and can not thank Jason enough for helping us learn all the things and keeping tabs on us throughout the trip as we were newbies. We will definitely come again, but this time early

I bought tickets through VACATIONS MADE EASY. They operate a complete scam. When 3 of us (all…read more70+) arrived at the location on the voucher (N. Myrtle Beach), we were told we had to drive to Little River. When we got to tge location, they said our voucher didn't work and we were forced to buy 3 additional tickets. This was a 75th birthday celebration for one of the attendees. The dolphin watch was a waste of time and money. DON'T use VME, Paypal (who colludes with retailers) or the Voyager.
