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
“Capt Dave is a good honest guy and great fisherman. The day we were supposed to go out was real rough weather, instead of taking our money and taking us out anyway he suggested we hold off. We went the next day on a short afternoon charter and even after a storm and in the hot sun put plenty of fish in the boat.”
John A Brooks“Went for the morning 4 hour charter. 19 fish!!!! Captain Dave knows where to find them and his Mate Grady helped me boat 19 fish!”
sandi goodhue“Went out with Captain Tilley and Adam today. Both men were generous and great to talk with. They were kind and accommodating to my children. Fishing was slow today (listening to the radio the whole fleet was slow) and Captain Tilley took us out 5 miles further than normal to do his best to get us some fish. Which paying for only a 4 hour trip probably really ate into some fuel. We did end up with 5 mackerel and had a great time. Will go back and hopefully it's to the gulfstream next time.”
