Salty GOAT! Great fishing charter!
Half Day Trip – Adults on April 23, 20261 adult

I had a wonderful time while on the Sallty GOAT! The Captains Greg and Dan (not renamed Lieutenant Dan, by me) are the best! They choose spots where the fish were at, they helped each person fishing with removing fish caught, celebrating fish caught, baiting their hooks, and asking everyone how they were doing and what they could do to make their trip successful! Everyone on the boat catch several fish!

Our familys start to our Vacation
Half Day Trip – Adults on September 13, 20259 adults

let me just say my big family of 9 had such a great time with the captain and crew. not only did one of my girls win the fishing contest. she slayed 2 big grouper. all the kids had a great time. staff was amazing and helpful. bait buckets kept full and of course with snags on coral, they came to quickly get their them back out fishing. overall would recommend to anyone visiting. we did a 5 hour trip and they cleaned and bagged our catch and let the kids feed the tarpon by the docks. great job salty Goat crew and wishing many more blessings your way.
