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

★★★★★

“Awesome experience! HE KNOWS WHERE FISH ARE!”

Sam Isenhower
★★★★★

“Captain Dave and first mate Blake gave us a great afternoon of fishing. Caught lots of Spanish mackerel. Blake did a great job cleaning and bagging them after the trip. They did a great job entertaining our 9 year old. He even got to drive the boat. The 9 year-old got to reel in the downriggers because we weren't sure he could reel in the actual poles, which was perfect!”

Austen Williams
★★★★★

“Went out for a 5 hour trip and Captain Tilley and his First Mate made this a very memorable trip for my three boys aged 8 - 10 - 14. Not only did they know where the fish were but they made it enjoyable for the littles. We will be back again next year for a longer trip thank you for the memories.”
