Real Testimonials from Burial at Sea Families
Here’s what families are saying about their experience with Captain Dave and Wild Rover III Burial at Sea services
“Capt Dave and the crew put us on this weekend! Very experienced and fun crew. Highly recommend.”
Jacob Nelson“Went out with Captain Tilley and Adam today. Both men were generous and great to talk with. They were kind and accommodating to my children. Fishing was slow today (listening to the radio the whole fleet was slow) and Captain Tilley took us out 5 miles further than normal to do his best to get us some fish. Which paying for only a 4 hour trip probably really ate into some fuel. We did end up with 5 mackerel and had a great time. Will go back and hopefully it's to the gulfstream next time.”
Tim Inman“Like Jaws, but the fisherman win! Lol. Killed them! Made great memories. Thanks Captain Dave!”
