Legacy Charters offers Virginia Beach fishing charters aboard the Legacy, a 52-foot Custom Buddy Davis, led by Captain Bill Jenkins alongside First Mate Bill “Gordy.” Captain Bill started as a bait boy on his father’s charter boat at age five and has been running charters himself for over 25 years; he and Gordy have fished together as a team since 2007.
The business targets both Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean species, including Cobia, Red and Black Drum, Mahi Mahi, Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Amberjack, Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, Sharks, Spadefish, Triggerfish, and Tautog, offering a wide range of fishing depending on the season. Beyond fishing, Legacy Charters also runs sightseeing trips, dinner cruises, and elopement packages for guests wanting a different kind of day on the water.
The Legacy is fast, comfortable, and built to raise fish, featuring a well-appointed air-conditioned salon, ample seating, Bose surround sound, and bunks for guests who need a break during longer trips. The boat carries the latest electronics and top safety equipment, and boards from Marina Shores Marina just inside Lynnhaven Inlet, about 15 minutes from the oceanfront and a short drive from Norfolk or Sandbridge.
Every trip includes all fishing licenses and gear, so guests just need to bring their own food and drinks. Fish cleaning is available at 30 cents a pound, with the catch cleaned and packaged for the trip home, and a 20% tip for the deckhand is customary. The business also supports a Wounded Warrior Fishing Campaign for veterans.
For anglers looking to fish the Chesapeake Bay or Atlantic Ocean out of Virginia Beach, Legacy Charters offers a comfortable, well-equipped charter experience with Captain Bill Jenkins and a team with decades of local fishing knowledge.
