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!!”

“This was my first ocean fishing experience and it was amazing! Captain Bob and Nolan were great! We caught so many fish! Definitely will go again!”

Kayce Wilson
★★★★★

“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!”
