About York River Charters

York River Charters invites you to explore the scenic beauty of the York River in Virginia, a significant tributary of the Chesapeake Bay. Whether your family is keen on fishing or simply wants a peaceful sightseeing charter, this is a delightful way to spend a day on the water. As the only fishing charter with a contract to dock at the beautiful Riverwalk Landing on the historic Yorktown waterfront, it offers an unmatched experience.

The Catchin' Up, a pilot house sport fishing boat equipped with state-of-the-art electronics, is your vessel for the adventure. Captain Alan is there to guide your family into secluded creeks or tranquil flats, or to take you safely out into the deeper waters of the Chesapeake Bay. This flexibility allows for a personalized experience, whether you're aiming to fish for croaker, spot, flounder, or the mighty cobia; or if you prefer trolling for striped bass, bluefish, or Spanish mackerel.

For families who prefer less active pursuits, a sightseeing or pleasure excursion offers a rich glimpse into the area's history and aquatic life. The Captain’s deep knowledge of the region makes every outing informative and engaging. And for those looking to unwind, an intimate sunset cruise, possibly topped off by a river-view dining experience in Yorktown, could be just the thing.

At York River Charters, the goal is to allow families to enjoy the river their way. So pack a picnic, grab the kids, and kick off your sandals for a memorable family day out on the rivah'!
