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
“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!”
Meredith Schultz“Captain Dave and first mate Blake gave us a great afternoon of fishing. Caught lots of Spanish mackerel. Blake did a great job cleaning and bagging them after the trip. They did a great job entertaining our 9 year old. He even got to drive the boat. The 9 year-old got to reel in the downriggers because we weren't sure he could reel in the actual poles, which was perfect!”
Austen Williams“Captain Dave and Adam were awesome. Put 32 Spanish mackerel in the boat. Great time. Highly recommend this charter.”
