    Decent Sized Keepers

    Half Day Trip – Adults on May 7, 2026 • 2 adults

    Had a great trip out on the water. the Captain kept us moving around to different spots for fishing. Between two people we caught around 15-20 fish all of various sizes and ended up with around 8 keepers. Some people caught a couple of groupers but all in all definitely worth the money. Crew even filleted our fish for cooking.

    great family experience

    Private Charter on April 2, 2026 • 16 adults • 4 children

    We had 17 people on the Salty Goat from kids age 10 to grandparents. The cre was attentive and helped everyone when needed. The crew cleaned all the fish in a timely manner and gave the scraps to the kids to feed the Tarpin and Goliath Grouper by the dock. The whole experience was fun for everyone!

Salty GOAT! Great fishing charter!
Half Day Trip – Adults on April 23, 2026 • 1 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!

Fun experience
Half Day Trip – Adults on July 12, 2026 • 3 adults

We had an awesome fishing trip. The most fun we had on our trip to Key West. The Captain and her mate were really helpful and accommodating. We caught a lot of fish, mostly yellow tail and mangrove grouper. We took the fish we caught to local restaurant and they cooked the fish for us, delicious! Highly recommend the Salty Goat.
