12 Hour Trip – Offshore Big Game

Leave Oregon Inlet and fish all day in the amazing blue waters of the Gulf Stream on a beautiful Blackwell 40' Express boat. Get in the action while catching everything from Tuna (all types) to Mahi Mahi to all types of billfish. The $2550 price includes the current fuel surcharge due to the extremely high cost of diesel fuel. It also includes the price of filleting the fish, something that likely saves you a few hundred dollars on a good day. Keep in mind the mate works for tips: 15-20% of trip cost.

Terrific trip with Speechless
5/5
Captain Ron and the crew were terrific. Beautiful, clean boat. Great gear. They put us on the fish on what appeared to be a slow day for most of the fleet (100lb bigeye tuna was a blast!). Will definitely book with Speechless again.

Great Trip

We had a great time fishing with Captain Paul and Paul again this year. We started catching fish as soon as we drop our lines in the water. A good mix of bluefish and spanish mackerel. We definitely plan to go again next year.
