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.

REEL, REEL, REEL!
Full Day Trip – Gulfstream on March 4, 2025
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!

Great Day of Fishing
Half Day Trip – Nearshore (AM) on July 4, 2025
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.

Amazing day on the water
Full Day Trip – Gulfstream on June 26, 2025
I would give these guys 10 stars if I could. The captain is very knowledgeable. The day was a slow fishing day but he did all he could to put us on fish. The deck hand was also great. Always making sure that things were clean and prepared, when a fish was on he was on top of it and was awesome! I’d recommend these guys to everyone. Top notch

Highly recommend Legacy
Half Day Trip – Nearshore (AM) on September 4, 2024
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!

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!
