Welcome to York River Charters! Our charter boat operates from the beautiful York River in Virginia, a major tributary of the Chesapeake Bay. We offer our guests both fishing and sightseeing charters.
York River Charters is the only fishing charter operation contracted to dock at beautiful Riverwalk Landing in historic Yorktown,Virginia. 
We also embark charters in Gloucester, VA, as well as other locations. The departure point is determined by what our customer's interests are and where concentrations of the targeted species of fish are located for our fishing charters. We are conveniently located for area residents as well as guests to the historic triangle of Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown, Virginia.
Experience all that our local waters have to offer from the well equipped Catchin' Up. She's a late model center console with state-of-the-art electronics that gives 
our Captain the ability to easily slip your party into a secluded creek or tranquil flat, as well as safely dash you out into the deeper waters of the bay!
Catchin' Up presents our guests the opportunity to have a truly personalized experience on the water. For you, this may mean tailoring a fishing charter combining some bottom fishing for croaker, spot or flounder with an equal amount of time spent live baiting for mighty cobia or trolling for striped bass, bluefish or Spanish mackerel. For others it may mean an intimate sunset cruise topped off 
by a river view dining experience in Yorktown.
You may want to learn a little of the rich history of the area and get an introduction to some of it's aquatic inhabitants by chartering a sightseeing or pleasure excursion. Or, you may prefer to cast lures for rock fish or speckled trout. Either way your Captain's unique prospective and knowledge of the region are sure to give you reason to join us many times in the future and become yet another lifelong river friend.
York River Charters' goal is to provide our guests the prospect of "having it their way" for a change. So come on down, kick off your sandals and let us show you, your loved ones and close friends what time on the rivah' is really all about!
