Make some memories in Calabash and go fishing with Calabash Fishing Fleet aboard the 'Cyclone.'

Depending on the excursion, you might hook into Amberjack, Almaco Jack, Wahoo, Vermilion Snapper, Blacktip Shark, Gray Triggerfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Grunt, Gag Grouper, Black Seabass, Cobia, Red Snapper, and who knows what else! On these trips, it's common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Any fish within the legal limit is yours to keep.

Your boat for the day is 'Cyclone,' a 45' Key West that can carry up to 42 passengers. This is a complete walkaround fishing vessel! Super spacious with inside and outside seating, this unique fishing vessel is equipped with the latest navigation and fishing equipment and can be utilized for chartered sport fishing as well as large group bottom fishing excursions. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates often work for tips, and it's customary to offer them a 15-20% tip. You will not need a fishing license while aboard this fleet as each vessel is licensed fully for every passenger! This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are welcome! You can't go wrong when you bring snacks, drinks, sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

Now's the time to experience fishing in Calabash for yourself with Calabash Fishing Fleet!

    Awesome experience with both captians!

    Extended Full Day – Gulf Stream on April 18, 2026 • 8 adults

    We went on a 6 hr trip with Captian Jordan on the cyclone and Jordan put us on some great Spanish Mackerels and we had a great experience with Jordan and his first mate both were great. Then we went on a gulf stream with Captian Alec and First mate Dylan. They were very helpful and put us on some great fish as well. Would highly reccomand both captians and both first mates. Me and my family had a great experience all around.

    It's real boring, until it's not!

    Half Day Trip on June 22, 2026 • 11 adults

    We started out just trolling for mackerel but this was slow, so we changed it up to angle for Blacktip Shark. The first spot we tried didn't pan out, but the second spot hit on a 6 foot spinner shark. There is nothing like sitting around, shooting the breeze, only to hear that reel start buzzing. Great crew, worth it.

    Bachelor Trip

    3/4 Day Trip on March 22, 2025 • 12 adults

    We had a great time and caught a bunch of fish considering the conditions were pretty bad on the water. Weather was a bit cold and water was very rough but that was to be expected for this time of the year. Captain Jason and first mate Darryl were great. Jason was pretty up front about the fact that the conditions were going to be bad but we would see what we could do. We stayed optimistic and within no time they put us on the fish. Lots of action and got some keepers. Darryl was super friendly and easy to get along with. He also did a great job at fixing all our bird nests and keeping us baited up. I would definitely recommend going fishing with them on the Cyclone. Pro tip - take your Dramamine the night before and the morning of.

Great Crew!
Half Day Trip on August 5, 2026 • 10 adults

We went out Aug. 5th. It was rainy for most of the day. The crew pushed right through and we had a great experience. We trolled for Spanish Mackerel, we caught a couple of small ones. We started shark fishing and caught 1. it was a blast! That was worth the entire trip. We would definitely book with this crew again! Thanks,Jason and Garrett!

Black Sea Bass Friday
Half Day Trip - 11:30 AM on November 28, 2025 • 12 adults • 2 children

we booked a four hour Friday after Thanksgiving fishing excursion for 14 people on the cyclone with Captain Jordan and deck mate Yazzo. it was a bit chilly but the fishing was amazing! We just wanted to catch lots of fish and we did just that! We caught mostly black Seabass but a few others included grunts and porgy. we were able to keep enough to have a nice little fish fry after Yazzo filleted them for us. Definitely recommend the whole team!
