Hold Fast Charters offers James River, York River, and Chesapeake Bay fishing charters out of Williamsburg, Virginia, led by Captain Corey Fenton. Trips run aboard a U.S. Coast Guard certified 30-foot Baja Fisherman, an open-back vessel with plenty of room for fishing and an enclosed cabin with a restroom for a comfortable day on the water.

Captain Corey and his crew target Striped Bass, Cobia, and Catfish depending on the season and regulations, with the business currently booking winter fishing trips across the James River, York River, and Chesapeake Bay. Fishing charters welcome groups of 2 to 4 passengers, with full-day trips running 8 hours starting at 7am and half-day trips running 4 hours, either 8am-12pm or 1pm-5pm.

Beyond fishing, Hold Fast Charters also runs recreational boat cruises along the historic James River, York River, and Chesapeake Bay, available in 2 or 4-hour increments for groups up to 6 people. Advance reservations are required for both fishing charters and boat cruises.

The business is conveniently docked at James City County Marina, directly across from Jamestown Settlement and just minutes from downtown Colonial Williamsburg, though the boat occasionally departs from other Tidewater-area marinas depending on where the fish are biting, minimizing ride time and maximizing time actually fishing.

For anglers and visitors near Williamsburg looking to fish the James River, York River, or Chesapeake Bay, or take a scenic boat cruise through the region’s historic waterways, Hold Fast Charters offers a well-equipped operation with Captain Corey Fenton.
