Here’s what anglers are saying about their trips with Wild Rover III Charters based in Carolina Beach, NC
“Captain Dave is a class act!!. I was unable to keep my reservation due to my daughter's sudden illness. I reached out to Captain Dave to request a refund or allow me to cancel and hold my deposit for a future booking. He immediately responded to my email with a phone call. He said I will see an email confirmation of my $100 being credited to my account. No questions asked. Just like that! Boom! Taken care of! With service like that and the stellar reviews below, I cannot wait for my daughter to get better so we can make a second reservation and keep it! Thanks, Captain Dave!!”
Lois Holden“GREAT! Nicest man I ever met, as well as the helper great job tremendous amount of fish we all had a great time and great help highly recommended!”
Ebraheem Barakat“We had a great time with Captain Dave and Tyler. We went out with our 2 young boys when the weather was questionable but Captain Dave and Tyler worked hard to make sure we still had a great time and caught fish! My two kids had a great time! Also, the boat is fantastic. It has a completely enclosed area with A/C, which ended up being important for us with the rain and one person who was sea sick. I highly recommend this charter!”
