Speechless Sportfishing is located in Manteo NC and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters. The company is home to the popular "Saltwater Fishing University" internet video channel with "The Professor" Captain Ron Edwards leading the way. He welcomes you to his clean, well-maintained boat. It's an express style, which means it's a more interactive experience for everyone as the captain is on the same level as the passengers (unless he gets up in the tower on calm days). This style also gives customers a full view (360 degrees) of the ocean, where you'll even be able to spot fish and be a part of the full fishing experience.

The Speechless crew has a passion for its customers and making sure they have amazing experiences on the water. With state-of-the-art equipment, including "side scan" (enabling you to see fish many hundreds of feet to the left and right of the boat), chances are higher you'll have a successful day fishing.

The crew will do its best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 10-hour trips, mainly fishing for Dolphin (Mahi), Marlin, Wahoo, and Tuna, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as trolling and big game fishing.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 40' Blackwell Boatworks boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat comes with a toilet, ac (in cabin), an ice-box, and a fighting chair.

The pricing includes everything you'll need to fish – all the gear, and licenses. The only other expense to keep in mind is the tip for the mate, which is roughly 18-20% of the trip fee, as well as the cost to filet the fish.

Please reach out with any questions, the crew knows going offshore can sound intimidating if you've never gone before.

Great trip!!
12 Hour Trip – Offshore Big Game on May 27, 20264 adults

My three son's and I booked a 12 hour offshore trip today with Captain Ron and First Mate Steve. We always book a fishing charter when vacationing and today's 12 hour trip with Speechless sportfishing was hands down one of the best experiences we've ever had. Captain Ron and Steve are pros. They were non-stop all day long chasing down fish, swapping tackle, rigs, baits, etc. We came home with a massive haul of mahi and made great memories.These guys were grinding the whole day. If you're looking for an elite offshore fishing experience, speechless sportfishing is it.

12 Hour Trip – Offshore Big Game on May 23, 20266 adults

Had a great time with Capt. Edwards!! Awesome captain and host! This man did his best to put us on the fish the entire day and never stopped hunting them down. Was able to snatch a few in the boat-including my first fish trolling! Even in some rougher seas the ride was still enjoyable for all aboard the boat! Mate was great as well! For my first outing in the OBX and first big game trolling experience I couldn't have asked for a better trip! Thanks Capt. Edwards, Mrs. Brandi, and first mate Steve for an awesome fun filled day and such great memories made!

12 Hour Trip – Offshore Big Game on June 10, 20262 adults2 children

the trip was great. 12 hour offshore. boat and equipment was in great condition. first mate worked his butt off all day. Captain found fish and made sure to mark them and keep catching more. i would recommend this trip for ages 10 and up, the tuna are pretty strong and can be hard to reel in. we filled the box on board with mahi, skip jacks, and yellowfin.

Tough fishing that day but Captain Ron and Steve pulled out all the stops to bring 5 tuna into the fish box!
12 Hour Trip – Offshore Big Game on June 21, 20266 adults

We were lucky enough to get 5 yellowfin tuna in the boat. The sharks took a few nice ones from us. Captain Ron and Steve were great and worked hard all day. we were one of the ladt boats to leave the fidhing grounds to head back. Give them a chance. You wont regret it!

Fantastic all around experience with the Speechless team! Personal record 88 inch Blue Fin was the capstone! Knowledgeable, professional, spotless boat are the hallmarks of the Speechless team. Just don't ask Captain Ron to drink bottled water. Thanks for taking uu to your secret spot. Highly recommend!
