About Your Trip

Looking for a fishing trip packed with action, adventure, and unforgettable memories? Join Captain William in Williamsburg, Virginia, for an incredible day chasing trophy-sized Catfish, hard-fighting Striper (Rockfish), and feisty Largemouth Bass! Whether it’s a family outing, a laid-back fishing date, or a guy’s weekend on the water, Captain William is ready to make your trip one for the books.

You’ll be fishing on a sleek 21-foot Seahunt Ultra, powered by a reliable 200HP Yamaha engine, which provides a smooth and safe ride across the beautiful waterways of the Chicahominy River, York River, and James River. Captain William’s experience and knowledge of the tides mean you’ll always fish where the bite is hottest. No need to worry about licenses either—his boat’s got you covered, so all you need to focus on is reeling in the catch of a lifetime.

With two distinct trip options, there’s something for everyone. Opt for a Trophy Trip if you’re hunting massive Catfish or Rockfish to test your skills and snag some brag-worthy photos. Or choose an Eater Trip, where the focus is on quantity, ensuring your cooler fills up with delicious, perfectly-sized fish to take home. Whatever your preference, Captain William takes the time to prep by catching fresh bait before you even step aboard, maximizing your chances of success.

Captain William tailors each trip to your group’s needs and will keep you in the loop regarding departure times, which are based on the tides. All you need to bring are your favorite snacks, drinks, and a great attitude—he’ll handle the rest. With his commitment to creating memorable experiences, you’ll leave the water with a story to tell and a smile on your face.

Book now and experience the excitement of fishing the rivers of Williamsburg like never before!

Veteran owned and operated. Born in Fayetteville, NC and spent 13 years in the United States Navy and decided to chase a life long dream of starting my own fishing charter company. I accomplished getting my captain’s license and built my own company. I personally have fished all over the continental U.S. from chasing cutthroat trout in Nevada to peacock bass in Florida. I have a passion to learn everything about the species of fish...

I am different from other guides because I truly enjoy seeing my customers succeed by getting a big catch and ensuring that their families get a fishing trip they won't forget. Watching customers catch fish is just as good as if I was catching them myself!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 1,600+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
