“Excellent boating experience! Went out on a 3/4 day trolling trip and had a great trip.”

Jacqueline Gwynn
★★★★★

“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.”
