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?

Angler's Choice
The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
I grew up on the waters of Carteret County and know them like the back of my hand. Fishing has always been my passion. I have fished up and down the east coast for pelagic fish such as Sailfish, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Yellow Fin Tuna, Blue Marlin, and many other species. Spent some of my younger years on the Offshore Outlaw chasing Giant Bluefin Tuna. For several seasons I worked as a mate on the Restless Lady II, out of Ocean City, M.D. In 2020 we won first place in the Tuna division during the White Marlin Open, which was an experience of a lifetime! Before purchasing my own sportfishing charter boat, I spent some time fishing in the Bahamas. Now I'm more excited than ever to put you on the fish!
