Here’s what anglers are saying about their trips with Wild Rover III Charters based in Carolina Beach, NC
“Had one heck of a time with Cpt. Dave and his mate Nolan. Got to see a smile on my dads face. Thank you Cpt for making a memory that will last a life time, one hell of an experience, you sir are one hell of a captain. I would recommend anyone looking to charter a boat give Cpt. Dave a call, he will take care of ya!”
phillip smith“Absolutely "First Class". We caught fish while the other boats were not. We did a 5 hour trip and will do a longer one next time. Captain Dave and Tyler are "good people" . They call it fishing not catching so if you're on a day when they are not biting you could not be with better people. Fishing was great for us on our vacation July 11, 2018. Thank you Tyler and Thank you Captain Dave. We will be back!!”
C&E B“Captain Dave and Grady made this such a memorable experience for my dad's birthday! They knew all the right spots to go and are clearly very skilled. Also, they made sure my five year old son had the best time ever - super family friendly! They got him hyped and helped him feel so special reeling in the fish just like everyone else. 10/10 recommend. The boat was clean and comfortable as well. Brought home a bunch of fresh fish to cook (nicely filleted by Grady) and couldn't be happier!”
