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.

Great views and great bit of info on places I pass each day. 100% going again. Kiddo loved it.Posted on Google Justyna StachowskaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the absolute pleasure of going on a trip with Ed and Conor last weekend and oh my goodness — what an amazing time it was!! First of all, we’d love to say a huge thank you once again to our fantastic guides for their knowledge, great sense of humor, wonderful atmosphere, thrilling fast turns, breathtaking views, and the deep respect for nature they shared with us throughout the trip. You guys are absolutely awesome, and our time on the Goat Boat made us want to come back to Ireland as soon as possible and spend more time out on the water with you. We wholeheartedly recommend the Goat Boat tour — honestly, you couldn’t choose anything better! And to you guys: we wish you wide waters, plenty of sea adventures, and, as always… a dry boat! 😄 Justyna & WojtekPosted on Google Dana SchellerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Conor & Ed were incredible! We hired them for a private boat tour for a corporate outing, and it was 10/10. The tour was gorgeous, they were super knowledgeable, and our group had an amazing experience. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Sinead JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic trip, led by Ed. He created a lovely atmosphere and shared such interesting info on the beautiful South Dublin coastline. We saw a magic Irish rainbow 🌈 as we looked towards Howth. Seals, sun, and great company. We were celebrating my dear friend’s birthday! Highly recommend 😎🐬Posted on Google Gary MelvinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just off the Goat Boat tour led by Ed, couldn't have asked for a better skipper! Super-nice guy, very informative and evidently loves what he does. Excellent tour! I would highly recommend it! Time very well spent. I look forward to doing it again soon.Posted on Google JamesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Five stars all the way! We booked a private tour for my child's 12th birthday party, and it was the highlight of the weekend. The kids had an absolute blast out on the water. They were thrilled to spot seals and other marine life, and Conor did a fantastic job keeping them engaged with his stories. The boat itself was great, and having the private space for their group of friends made the celebration extra special. If you're looking for a fun, unique birthday experience, Goat Boat Tours is it! Highly recommended.Posted on Google ken otooleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish a great experience,a wealth of knowledge from the two lads Conor and ed,amazing sights and the boat is like a carpet highly recommend
