Legacy Charter Fishing
Morehead City has a fish with your name on it, so let Legacy Charters help you catch it!
Around here, the fishing is popular for Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Yellowfin Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, Sailfish, Gray Triggerfish, Vermilion Snapper, Gag Grouper, Spanish Mackerel, Kingfish, and more if conditions are right. On the day of your trip, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
Capt. Lathan will bring you aboard a 42’ Sport fishing boat with room for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. The crew will catch live bait for you before the trip.
There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. A 20% tip is customary to show appreciation for their hard work. The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
Legacy Charters is a kid-friendly charter service, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Children must provide and wear their own USCG-approved life vests. You can’t go wrong when you bring snacks, drinks, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation. Just be sure to avoid glass bottles.
Legacy Charters will make it easy for you to go fishing in Morehead City. So, how about booking that trip?

Full Day Trip – Gulfstream
REEL, REEL, REEL!
WONDERFUL TRIP! This was the first fishing trip for my sister and me so we didn't really know what to expect, but Captain Lathan and his crew, Jackson, eased our apprehension by their professionalism and knowledge. However, what was most impressive to both of us was their determination that we should catch the fish ourselves! Just when we were about to give up on a fish when it became too difficult for us to reel, we would hear "REEL, REEL, REEL! ", and we would reel harder. That encouragement gave us the extra strength to catch our own fish, which made the trip more exciting for us - two women old enough to be the Captain's grandmother!

Half Day Trip – Nearshore (AM)
Highly recommend Legacy
We had an excellent experience with Legacy. We booked an a.m., 4-hour charter. I messaged Captain Lathan ahead of time and requested a small chair be brought board so my mother could sit outside with us and watch while my husband and I fished. They remembered, and were so accommodating with her slightly limited mobility. The boat was well maintained, clean and had lots of shade. The spacious salon and clean bathroom was a nice bonus that you don’t see in a lot of fishing charters. Captain Lathan and first mate Jackson were professional, polite, and delivered the fish! We caught Albacore, Mackerel and Spanish Mackerel. We will definitely book them again next year for an all day, offshore trip. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our fishing trip with Legacy Charter. They are a super nice crew. Put us on the fish and caught plenty. The first mate is outstanding with rigging the fishing poles. We will be going again with Legacy Charter. Thanks for the great day of fishing.

Half Day Trip – Nearshore (AM)
Great Day of Fishing
Went out on July 4th for a half day trolling with Captain Lathan and Mate Jackson with my wife and son (12). Boat location is easy to find and near the fishing area for near shore fishing so no lost transit time. We had an exceptional experience and caught over 40 fish. The crew was very knowledgeable and gave us pointers and suggestions along the way. We would certainly go back out with them and suggest you give them a try.

A FIN-TASTIC TRIP!!!
Yea the pun is bad, Capt. Price and crew ARE fantastic! He did his absolute best to put us on the fish! It was a father and son bucket list trip and we had a memorable time. We caught 3 tuna (Blackfin and albacore, 3 large(!!) Barracuda and 3 great Wahoos! We ended up with about 70 - 80 lbs of dressed Wahoo,which tastes amazing! Lathan is young but he free up fishing with this dad (Wicked Tuna Capt. of the Offshore Outlaw) and definitely earned his stripes! Your father should be proud!! Tics. this " kid" your business! You WON'T be disappointed!!!
