OUR STORY

Goat Boat Tours was founded by two passionate locals, Conor and Ed, who have spent their lives exploring the waters of Dun Laoghaire Harbour and Dublin Bay. 

These lads have salt water running through their veins ! Their deep-rooted love for the sea inspired them to create an intimate boat tour experience that showcases the area’s natural beauty and rich history.

Went on the goat boat tour today with my son and nephew. The kids were blown away by the speed the boat went! Seeing porpoises was a highlight for me. The scenery is spectacular, even on a dull November day. Thanks for a wonderful experience guys, you were both friendly and very informative. Would highly recommend

My experience with Goat Boat Tours was simply unforgettable! As a lover of the sea, I was thrilled to find a tour that truly showcased the beauty of Dublin Bay and its incredible wildlife. The tour was well-organized and started with a detailed safety briefing where we were provided with lifejackets and weatherproof clothing – a thoughtful touch for Dublin’s unpredictable weather!

The views of Dun Laoghaire Harbour and the surrounding coastline were breathtaking. We spotted seals and a variety of sea birds, and even caught a glimpse of a pod of dolphins. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories about the history of the area and pointing out iconic landmarks like the Martello Towers and Dalkey Island.
