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

★★★★★

“This was a great fishing charter. From beginners to experienced. Captain Dave and Grady had great hospitality and we will be returning!”

“Absolutely "First Class". We caught fish while the other boats were not. We did a 5 hour trip and will do a longer one next time. Captain Dave and Tyler are "good people" . They call it fishing not catching so if you're on a day when they are not biting you could not be with better people. Fishing was great for us on our vacation July 11, 2018. Thank you Tyler and Thank you Captain Dave. We will be back!!”

“Captain Dave and mate Adam were all about making the fishing fun. It was obvious that they enjoy what they do, are very personable, and know what they are doing. Our 5 hour charter was a blast. All we needed to do was alternate reeling in many nice Spanish mackerels. The Wild Rover III was a comfortable, clean, ocean worthy vessel with all the amenities you need. I intend to rebook with Captain Dave on my next fishing trip.”
