We booked Goliath Charters and Tours while visiting the Keys, and it ended up being the highlight of our trip. Captain Bryce was absolutely amazing – so kind, patient, and genuinely great with our 6‑year‑old daughter. He took extra time to help her bait the hook, showed her how to reel in her fish, and celebrated every little catch with her like it was the biggest one of the day. As parents, we really appreciated how calm and reassuring he was, making sure she felt safe, included, and never rushed. He balanced helping her with still giving the adults plenty of time to fish and enjoy the day. The boat was clean and comfortable, the spots he took us was beautiful, and we caught enough fish to keep everyone excited. We left so happy with, great photos, and memories we’ll be talking about for a long time. We would 100% book with Goliath Charters again and especially recommend Captain Bryce for any family with young children.
First fishing trip with my 13yr old son and what a morning it was! Captain Bryce was super pro and helping out with everything making it a truly memorable experience. We caught three king fish, one of them quite a monster. My son was so happy reeling in those bad boys. Perfect sunny morning and amazingly calm waters on Sunday, well worth 5am wake up call. Perfect father&son experience, highly recommended!
Captain asked if there was anything specific we would like to fish for. We said anything big and spicy (aggressive). Caught a variety of fish at a few different locations and finnished the trip with a large lemon shark. Captain was great to talk with during the trip. Definately would book again with this charter!
Our fishing trip started at 6 AM. We left Fort Lauderdale at 2 AM that morning. The time and money was well spent. The l Captain was awesome, professional, on time, and onows his profession. o highly recommend him to everyone. looking forward to our next trip and the 3+ drive each way.
