A LegaSea Of Offshore Boats

Originally owned by our Uncle Kenny and based out of Haulover Marina, the LegaSea has been a part of our family since 1966. She was the first of her kind, a 45' Custom Carolina, the #1 Hull designed by Ray Lemay. Capt. Joey and his brothers are all charter captains, keeping the family tradition of guiding offshore fishing trips alive. The LegaSea has and always will be a part of that tradition.

Target Species

We target a mix of iconic species inshore, nearshore, and offshore.

Snapper

Islamorada's reefs are home to a variety of snapper species, including the popular yellowtail snapper and mutton snapper. These fish are prized for their excellent taste and fights—making them a favorite target for our clients.

Swordfish

LegaSea Charters offers premier swordfish fishing experiences off the coast of Islamorada. This deep-sea species are typically found 25+ miles offshore in 1,500'+ deep water. We're using electric reels and heavy tackle for for these epic fights.

Sailfish

During the summer, sailfish tend to roam the open ocean, often found in deeper waters near offshore structures. In the winter, sailfish migrate closer to shore, often congregating around the reefs—making for some epic sight fishing.

Tuna

During the summer months, they congregate around the offshore humps, where they feed on baitfish pushed up by strong currents. In the winter, blackfin tuna tend to move closer to shore and can be found around the reefs.

Grouper

Grouper are ambush predators that often hide near structure on the reef. We target them with live bait like pinfish, pilchards, or squid, near the bottom. We have several different species of grouper in the area and they are a great catch on the Eastern reefs.

Barracuda

Barracuda are opportunistic feeders, often lurking in ambush near structure or in deeper waters. On the reefs, we use larger baits like live ballyhoo or blue runners can entice a bite from these toothy predators.

Amberjack

Amberjack are a popular reef species with powerful fights, good eating, accessibility, and variety of sizes. Their aggressive strikes, delicious flavor, and variety of sizes make them a popular catch on our offshore fishing trips.

Mahi Mahi

During the summer, Mahi tend to congregate around offshore weed lines, where they feed on baitfish and squid. In the winter, mahi-mahi migrate closer to shore, often found around the reefs. We're always on the lookout for them schooling.
