** Amazing Day with Salty Goat Deep Sea Fishing Charter**…read more On Sunday, March 1, our group had the absolute best experience with **Salty Goat Deep Sea Fishing Charter**. There were six people in our party plus two additional guests, and from start to finish the trip was incredible. Our captain, Ashley, and first mate, Paul, were fantastic. The entire five-hour trip was fun, relaxing, and full of great moments. On the way out to our private fishing spot--where there were *plenty* of fish--we saw so much wildlife including turtles, dolphins, jellyfish, and pelicans. It was an amazing way to start the trip. Once we reached the fishing spot, Ashley and Paul were incredibly helpful and patient, guiding us through the process and sharing their knowledge about the different fish we caught. Thanks to them, we ended up with a cooler full of fish! They were also very patient with me as I kept getting my line tangled and "making a nest" with my reel--LOL. The whole atmosphere on the boat was perfect. We had great music playing, lots of laughs, and really fun conversations. Ashley and Paul are clearly experienced, knowledgeable, and genuinely enjoy what they do, which made the trip even better. One of the most memorable moments came on the way back when we noticed a young pelican struggling in the water. Ashley and Paul carefully rescued it, brought it onto the boat, and contacted Fish and Wildlife so the bird could be picked up safely when we returned to the dock. It was amazing to see how much they care about the wildlife around them. To top off an already incredible day, when we got back to the dock Ashley and Paul cleaned and filleted all of our fish and packaged it up for us. We brought it to a local restaurant that prepared one of the best meals we've ever had. This charter is the **real deal**--a knowledgeable, fun, and laid-back crew who clearly love the ocean and sharing the experience with others. We had such a great time and will *definitely be back to fish with Ashley again*. Highly recommend!

We had an excellent time fishing with captain Billy and first mate Jesse! I already was happy when…read moreBilly contacted me before we left regarding a cold front coming in and it would be advantageous to change our first scheduled day since conditions would be favorable. I'm so glad we did! The boat was equipped with everything we needed - had a bathroom, mini fridge for your lunch, they provided a cooler with plenty of water for the day which was very nice. We had fun catching a variety of fish, including mahi mahi, Bonita, one little tuna and the biggie: a white marlin, which was an unexpected surprise for us all and the highlight of our outing. Jesse worked tirelessly the entire time and it was an overall fantastic day. Once we returned back to the dock, he filleted our mahi for us and we took it over to Kaya Island eats per his recommendation which was the perfect end to a fun, tiring but successful day on the water. If you want a great day with nice, knowledgeable folks who will work hard to make your day memorable, I highly recommend booking with Linda D. UPDATE: Went out again on Wednesday and had an equally fantastic time w/captain Billy & Jesse. We caught several mackerel, king fish (including one very large one) and a few barracuda - the weather was beautiful and it was fun to catch such a different variety of fish over our couple of outings - our dinner was again delicious :) We will for sure be back!

Our group of 5 had an amazing day on the water fishing and sightseeing. The captain and crew were…read morehelpful with instruction, oversight, guidance, and assistance. We were on the water for about 1/2 day and plenty long enough to get some sun and catch enough to have a mess of fish for dinner later. We fished and moved to at least 4 spots. Be sure to bring plenty of sunscreen. We also packed a small cooler with drinks and snacks. Don't forget the hand sanitizer -- you'll be glad you did after handling bait and (hopefully) any fish you catch! When we returned to the dock, the crew prepped and filleted our catch for a nominal fee. Tips are appreciated and should definitely be considered a standard practice by patrons and not just a courtesy. Well earned after the hard work of a day on the water. The boat charter can accommodate about 40 passengers; however, on the day we went, we were at about 2/3 capacity. Customers were a wide skill range from rookies to regulars. We took our fresh prepped fish home and sautéd it later for an impromptu house party for 7 diners. Great experience to be able to eat something we'd caught earlier that day!
