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 had a blast. On a whim, we called Capt. Dave from breakfast in our hotel around 9 am on a Wednesday in April. He picked up and said he could take us out at 11 am. We were 30 minutes late, he said no problem. We went out for 4 hrs and decided to change to 6 hrs. No problem. Then Bob and Nolan put us on Mackerel almost the whole time. We limited out and the captain and crew were patient with our 7, 9 and 10 year olds as they caught big fish for the first time. Highly recommend and will be back! Thanks Wild Rover III Crew!!!”
