Here’s what anglers are saying about their trips with Wild Rover III Charters based in Carolina Beach, NC
“Went fishing with my Dad on Capt. Dave Tilley's Charter Boat. What a great trip. Capt. Dave and 1st mate Adam were awesome. They put us on the fish. We caught 39 Spanish Mackerel and 1 Bonita. Great experience. Great memory.”
John Premiani“If I could give this place 6 stars, just know I would! I came here with my mom and sister to dump my late father's ashes. The captain and his deck hand were very respectful and patient. The captain knows his stuff and crew mate Mike, if you meet him, is simply awesome. If you're thinking about coming here for fishing or something else, just know that there's nothing to think about. This was an experience I'll remember forever! Thank you both!”
Nick Reed“Dave and Brandon were great. This was the first time taking our 6 year old out and they were sure to make it the best for him. Brandon was patient and did an amazing job explaining how to pull the fish in and handing the twisted line (we did) without complaining once. Dave was friendly and extremely hospitable and help us plan the right trip to fit us. We were on the fish all day. I will be returning and will be booking with them again. Thanks again Dave and Brandon for a great trip.”
