“We had a great time on our 5 hour trip. Captain Dave Tilley & Adam were very welcoming and made sure we had a great time. We caught 31 Spanish on our trip & couldn't of asked for a better time. Can't wait to book another trip and highly recommend if looking to catch fish and have a fun trip!”
Christine Wooten“We chartered the Wild Rover III to scatter a family member's ashes at sea. Captain Dave did a great job and made the event very special for us. We especially appreciated his experience doing that kind of thing, turning three circles around the spot before departing the area, and presenting us with a certificate with the coordinates for where we did the ceremony.”
Andre Balyoz“Absolutely amazing! We had a blast, captain Jeff and Blake made our day...we will be eating fish for days! Clean successful outing”
