Phenomenal Day on the Water - The Best Party Boat in Key West!…read moreIf you are looking for an affordable, high-action fishing trip in Key West, do yourself a favor and book a trip on the Salty Goat! My husband and I recently went out on their 50-foot vessel, and from start to finish, the entire experience exceeded our expectations. The Crew is Top-Notch The absolute best part of the Salty Goat is the staff. Captain Ashley and her first mate Danny were incredibly professional, high-energy, and even though they were busy they celebrated every single catch with the passengers. We had the best day thank you both!

The crew was super good at keeping their customers happy. The price is especially great...here in…read moreCalifornia the same fishing trip would cost $170.00.

I have been fishing for many years and this was absolutely my worst charter experience ever. The…read moreowner confirmed over the phone the day before (twice) that we would go fishing in the back country instead of a mixed-location trip due to the wind. They said that we could choose the duration of the trip: 4/6/8 hours. Contrary to their claims later, they did not say anything about the fishing being challenging that day. We met the captain at the dock in the morning and he seemed a little checked out. He said that once he leaves the dock, he has to charge us at least 4 hours "whether we go for 4 hours or 5 minutes." It was a strange and confusing comment, so we asked him directly if we can fish that day. He said yes and that we can catch barracuda, possibly tarpon - there was no mention of fishing being challenging or anything along those lines. The captain pulled up a fully loaded bait trap and filled the live well with live bait. Yet, inexplicably, he did not use any of this live bait for the rest of our trip (except for 10 mins. at the first stop.) He gave us two lures with rusty hooks and had us cast these lures in each of the spots we went to for 4 hours. We caught nothing except a tiny snapper that was smaller than the live bait what was sitting unused on the boat. We kept waiting for the captain to put out the live bait during the whole trip, which did not happen. The captain seemed like he couldn't care less whether we caught any fish. We still tipped him since he did drive us around for 4 hours. We contacted the company right away and relayed our experience. They never gave an explanation as to why the live bait was not used and it took almost one week for the owner to get back to us by email. He refused to address any of the issues (including the question of why the live bait was not used) and falsely claimed that we were told that fishing was going to be challenging that day (we were not.) We were completely fooled by the positive online reviews and photos for this company. They did not communicate properly and they had us show up at the dock and get on their boat with a captain who had no interest in catching fish. They then became unresponsive, only to claim later that it was our fault for taking the charter despite their warnings (there were no warnings.) I hope that others will see this review and not make the same mistake that we did.

I've fished offshore all over the world, and I can say without hesitation that Captain Steven Lamp…read moreis hands-down one of the best captains I have ever fished with. I've used Steven and his team for multiple years for both personal trips and corporate events, and they deliver every single time. From the other captains to the first mates, everyone I've had the pleasure of meeting has been absolutely top-notch. They're professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly, they genuinely care about making sure their customers have an incredible experience. Their fleet is also second to none. Without question, some of the cleanest and best-kept boats you'll find anywhere in Key West. For me, the biggest compliment I can give them is trust. I trust Steven and his team with my family, my customers, and my company executives. Whether we're heading offshore to fish, spending the day at the sandbar, or looking for another type of charter experience, they are always my first call when I'm in Key West. If you're looking for a charter in Key West, do yourself a favor and call Dream Catchers. Hands-down the best in Key West and beyond. I wouldn't use anyone else.

We scheduled our charter with Pepe; he was extremely helpful, responsive and knew our questions before we even had them. Captain Alex took us out on the day of - taking us directly to a hot spot of fish. Within minutes of anchoring and dropping some chum, we were reeling in fish - continued all day. Alex knew the water and was quick to accommodate our needs (including snapped lines - oops!). We will be back on the next visit to the Keys and recommend the company to anyone interested in a day on the water.

The boat was really nice and road the waves perfectly. All the gear was new and PENN on top of it. I can't say enough about my experience I have fished all my life and this was just really awesome.

Wow, were we lucky to find Finz when our charter to the Dry Tortugas canceled 5 days before our…read morescheduled excursion! Luckily, Finz had availability - and gratefully, we had Captain Rob and Holly to steer us there! His communication was EXCELLENT with texts in advance to keep me informed and prepared. We took their 37' Park Shark, which comfortably sat us in a cabin with plentiful views. The ride was a bit rougher than a catamaran, but it took us from Key West to the Dry Tortugas where Holly acted as our private tour guide, sharing insights about its history while we enjoyed the migrating birds. Afterwards, we zipped into wet suits that they provided to snorkel around a sunken ship. I'd recommend bringing your own lunch, especially if you have a vegetarian or pescatarian diet, but they kindly provide plenty of snacks and ice water. Captain Rob and Holly made our trip one of our favorite family experiences. Here's a photo and video that Holly took from our snorkel adventure. I highly recommend Finz!

The crew was professional, friendly and attentive. We arrived at Fort Jefferson before the ferry, and enjoyed a private tour without the crowds. We visited two separate dive/snorkel sites (cool wrecks!) and lunch on the beach. Not cheap, but definitely the best way to visit the island from Key West, short of buying your own boat. Highly, highly recommend this company.

Landon is knowledgeable in a plethora of areas; he is able to connect with his clients, knows the area and is well versed in fishing/snorkeling and relaxing locations! We had an eight hour fishing excursion and every moment was amazing. From the second you step in the boat, Landon is not only your captain, but your friend and guide for the day. He makes a point to get to know you and the group, what your expectations are and he delivers! Of course, boating and fishing excursions are reliant on nature, so if we went out and saw absolutely nothing, that would be no fault of Landon's. However, see things we did! We caught several barracuda and kept one that he filleted for us at the end of the evening that we marinated and grilled. Delicious in fish tacos! We stopped to snorkel and saw a sea turtle, hog fish, lobster and more! Landon does a great job balancing safety and letting you enjoy the experience. We spent some time swimming and floating before continuing on with our fishing excursion. We were able to go further out in the ocean and saw dolphins and sharks and caught several types of fish. The highlight came when we caught (and released) two Goliath grouper! Let me tell you, Landon was prepared and able to help us bring them up for a photo opp before letting them go. His knowledge of the area and boating was superb and I cannot recommend him any higher. Take this as your sign to book an excursion with him!
