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
“We took our 9 and 6 year old boys, and their grandparents. We did a 4 hour trip, it was a great time for our family.”
Keith Owens“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“Excellent boating experience! Went out on a 3/4 day trolling trip and had a great trip.”
