    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!
