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
“If I could give this place 6 stars, just know I would! I came here with my mom and sister to dump my late father's ashes. The captain and his deck hand were very respectful and patient. The captain knows his stuff and crew mate Mike, if you meet him, is simply awesome. If you're thinking about coming here for fishing or something else, just know that there's nothing to think about. This was an experience I'll remember forever! Thank you both!”
Nick Reed“This was a great fishing charter. From beginners to experienced. Captain Dave and Grady had great hospitality and we will be returning!”
Kriston Dilldine“Writing this from the boat on the way in, what a wonderful time with my son and Captain Dave and his mate Nolan, caught our limits in King Mackrel, caught a few albacore, Capt Dave had us on the fish and having one hell of a time. Will be back 100%. Would recommend anyone looking for a deep sea fishing charter to book Capt Dave and The Wild Rover III”
