Comfortable boat and only a few guests, which would have been nice but the attendants weren’t very accommodating. If you are a hands on guest, you’ll enjoy yourself. If you expect concern and help from the attendants, you probably won’t get much assistance.  The price was extremely fair compared to many other fishing trips. Water was rough and if you have tendency to get seasick, it’s not fun, and you won’t receive compassion or assistance from the assistants.

Went out on a day where fishing could have been difficult. Prior days were cold and windy. The day we went out was warmer and initially calm. Captain put us on a few good areas where we caught a good number of fish. Captain and mate were friendly and personable. I recommend the Goat for someone who wants a nice day on the water and plenty of fish to catch.

Family of 6, had a great time fishing. Waters were a bit sporty but the crew got us on fish. Bagged a Red Grouper for dinner. The crew was as thrilled as we were, they had great energy and put us on fish.

Best deal in Key West! My wife and I are relatively beginner fishers and we couldn’t recommend the Salty Goat more. If you’re looking for a fun half day on the water with the chance to catch some awesome fish, AND take your catch to a local restaurant to eat, book this now.

We booked the 5 hour trip and Captain Dan was welcoming from the start, helped us get the fish that were tough to unhook off and brought us to 5+ spots to find different fish. They run a “biggest fish kept” pool where you can choose to put in 5$ and the winner takes the pot and my wife won that day by catching a 23 inch Mutton Snapper.  One person also caught a Blacktip Shark AND a baby Hammerhead (which we released of course). 

When you get back to the dock, then clean and filet anything you caught, and you can feed the Tarpon that are waiting at the dock with the leftovers, super fun.

It’s also BYOB and food. We brought our fish to Dante’s (Conch Republic also does this) and they cooked our catch (choice of blacked, grilled or fried…we always go blackened) for 10$ a pound per person, which was only $21 in total, and we could barely finish it! Would definitely go back again :)
