2022 NauticStar Legacy 2302

Slide behind the wheel of this Legacy 2302 and you’ll notice how thoughtfully the helm is laid out: clean sightlines, easy-to-reach switches, and room for additional electronics if you want to expand your setup. The deeper freeboard gives everyone on board a secure, confident ride when the chop kicks up. Aft fold-down seating disappears in seconds to open a wide fishing cockpit, while the walkaround space lets you work a line from bow to stern without gymnastics. Little touches stand out—the molded footrest, sturdy hardware, and finished compartments that don’t feel like an afterthought—making long days on the water more comfortable and less cluttered.

Waters here can shift quickly from calm cruising to bumpy afternoon chop, and the Legacy 2302’s hull is built for exactly that kind of variety. Its size makes it easy to trailer, launch at tighter ramps, and tuck into smaller slips, yet it still has the beam and depth to feel solid offshore on the better days. Shallow approaches and sandbars are no problem thanks to the efficient outboard setup and moderate draft. With space to fish hard in the morning and then convert to a relaxed, family-friendly layout by midday, this model fits the mixed cruising, sandbar-hopping, and nearshore fishing lifestyle common in this area.
