As a proud veteran of the United States Navy, Captain William Draughon spent 13 years serving his country before pursuing his dream of becoming a fishing charter captain. After earning his captain’s license and launching his own business, Captain Draughon is excited to offer you a fishing experience built on years of knowledge and dedication. His fishing journey has taken him across the United States—from chasing cutthroat trout in Nevada to targeting peacock bass in Florida. His love for fishing has turned him into a skilled guide, committed to sharing his passion with others and providing a memorable time on the water.


Whether you’re planning a trip with friends, family, or colleagues, Captain William Draughon is here to make sure everyone has a great time. Based in Williamsburg, Virginia, Captain Draughon specializes in targeting some of the region’s most sought-after species, including Blue Catfish and Striped Bass (Rock Fish). We fish in the Chicahominy River, York River, and James River, depending on where the fish are most active. With Captain Draughon’s in-depth knowledge of the local waters, you can count on him to help you catch fish while making sure you have a fun and rewarding day.


My fishing boat is a 21-foot Seahunt Ultra, powered by a 200 Yamaha, offering a comfortable and spacious setting for you and your group. No matter your level of experience, my boat is equipped with everything you’ll need for a successful trip. Best of all, you don’t need to worry about fishing licenses—my boat covers that for everyone on board. Just show up and get ready to fish!


To ensure the best results, I always use fresh bait, which I catch before each charter begins. This gives you the highest chance of success, whether you’re hoping to catch a big Blue Catfish or a trophy-sized Striped Bass. My commitment is to provide a fishing experience that you and your party will remember long after the trip ends.

Book your fishing charter today with Captain William Draughon and let’s get out on the water for a fantastic day of fishing. I’m looking forward to helping you land that big catch!
