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 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“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!”
