We joined the Gulf stream 11 hour trip. That was our first experience on a Gulf, captain and crew made sure that we would have a blast. Unfortunately weather wasn't on our side, but again captain did his best. We caught quite few species between two of us (snapper, rudder and grunt, ones we kept). We had force majeure during the trip (no safety issue, no worries), but captain didn't turn around and gave us a chance to catch more fish!!! Much of thanks for that!!! Definitely recommend Calabash Fishing Fleet!

By far the cleanest fishing boat I've ever been on. Mates were helpful and knowledgeable. Was with a party of six and we all caught fish, but not a single one of is caught anything big enough to keep. If you wanna have fun on a clean boat this is your place. If your wanting to take fish home............

Went on the 11hr Miss Calabash Gulf Stream trip (max 15 people capacity). Had a wonderful time! It took us 3 hours to and from, so we had roughly 5 hour to fish at 100-200 ft of water (~50-60miles out). There are a few locals who frequently go on this trip. They will give you great advice. If Im around the area, this will be my go to trip

Captain Steve and Pete were amazing. Not only did we have a great fishing trip but also saw dolphins and sharks. This is a must do and we will definitely be back. I planned this because I knew my husband would love a deep sea fishing charter and it did not disappoint! Not to mention my kids haven't stopped talking about either. And when they cooked out catch at the shack it was delicious

We did an evening shark trip and could not have been happier. The trip was a little rough on some in our group that didnt have their sea legs but the end results speak for themselves. We caught five shark and the crew of the Navigator were very cool to hang out with. Thanks to Capt Steve and his deck hands Jake and Leia for a lasting memory.
