LegaSea Charters
Your journey to the beautiful waters off the coast of Islamorada awaits aboard a luxurious, custom-built Carolina sportfisher, called the LegaSea. With Captain Joey Spaulding at the helm of the vessel, you’ll see why these beautiful islands, surrounded by pristine turquoise waters, have such a strong reputation!
You’ll feel like a celebrity as you cruise the Keys in style with a boat that comes with everything an avid angler could want, plus more. This 50’ boat, built for your avid offshore fin-atic, is outfitted with downriggers, outriggers, a flybridge, a 140-gallon well for live bait, and top-quality navigational systems and electronics to ensure you have the best fishing experience while on board.
The LegaSea provides maximum comfort with a private head, shower, and air-conditioned salon with ample seating, accommodating up to 6 guests per trip. You’ll also have an extra cooler on board, so feel free to bring some of your favorite refreshment to relax as you unwind in the lounge area. She’s perfect for a business outing or team-building with colleagues, or just a fun day out on the water with friends or family!
The beautiful azure waters of Islamorada are famous worldwide for having some of the best sportfishing action. As someone who grew up fishing the Keys, Capt. Joey is just the guide you’d want to lead you to the magic. Target your favorite offshore pelagics, such as Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Tuna or set up your lines and go bottom fishing over reefs for delicious Grouper and Snapper. Your options are endless, and Capt. Joey also offers kite fishing in the winter months, so be sure to ask him about this if you’re interested!
Next time you’re in Islamorada, join Capt. Joey and experience the LegaSea for yourself! You’ll be taken care of, from top-notch Daiwa PG gear to your fishing license, it’s all provided. Just pack some snacks, drinks, and whatever else you need (just no flip-flops), and get ready for the time of your life!

Such A Great Time!!!
We took our grandsons (ages 9 & 6) on the afternoon 1/2 day trip and caught 2 night's dinners worth of Yellowtail!!! We also landed a couple Mahi Mahi, plus a King Fish!!! Captain Joey and First Mate John were fun, professional and went out of their way to help & teach our grandsons - Can't say enough about how fabulous our afternoon together turned out!!!

3/4 Day Trip
May fishing trip
It was a great experience being on the water with Captain Joey. He is a generational fisherman that grew up fishing theses waters and knows them like the back of his hand. He is an expert captain that put us on the fish. We fished hard all day and he never missed an opportunity to catch another fish. We will definitely be back on the LegaSea with Captain Joey soon!

Great day on the water
Joe and Craiger worked hard all day to catch fish. We didn’t catch a big fish or a lot of fish because they just weren’t biting. We still ended up with snapper and king fish to bring home. The weather was great, the waves rolling and memories were made. Thanks!

Evening Shark & Tarpon Trip
3 hour evening shark fishing
Weather conditions were great for just being out on the water. We had always done reef fishing and this was similar in the fact that you can see land and the bottom of the ocean. We caught 3 sharks and of course my wife caught the most and the biggest sharks. Captain and First Mate were great hosts and took excellent care of us. The boat was clean and having a toilet is the only way to go. We asked about a second trip during our short stay, but Captain Spaulding was booked solid. We will gladly request LegaSea on our next trip to the Keys.
