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.

EXCELLENT Based on 412 reviews Posted on Google John MurrayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An unbelievable experience. Skippers Conor and Ed are fantastic. The tour, obvious and non obvious sights along the way are fantastic local knowledge. We even had a mother porpoise (dolphin) and her calf. Very cool. Back to Dunlaoghaire for an amazing sunset over Dublin city.Posted on Google Alisa ArdiniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So good! We got to see many seals and birds, and Ed shared a lot of interesting information about the area. Can’t wait to do the sunset one!Posted on Google DanielTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend checking this out if you're around dun laoighaire area.

Such an enjoyable experience, highly recommend! Our three 12 year old boys loved it, especially when the boat went really fast! Conor was a wonderful guide with lots of interesting and humorous insights into Dublin Bay, Dalkey and the islands. 10 out of 10!Posted on Google Laura .CarneyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I loved everything about this tour. Ed fully made the experience what it was. His knowledge of the area and in meeting the needs of the passengers was to a high standard. We got the most beautiful sunset and Ed ensured passengers got the best photos.Posted on Google Eliete QueirozTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I absolutely loved my experience with Goat Boat Tour! I went with a group of friends, and it was such a fun and unique way to see Dublin. Seeing the city from Dublin Bay gives you a completely different perspective, and it's definitely worth it. Our guide, Antônia, was lovely and made the tour even more enjoyable by sharing interesting facts and stories about the buildings and landmarks we passed along the way. I also really appreciated how much the team prioritised everyone's safety from the very beginning. You can tell they genuinely care about making sure everyone feels comfortable and enjoys the experience. I would definitely do it again and highly recommend it to both locals and visitors. It's an experience that's absolutely worth having!Posted on Google Audrey SibandaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It started off a bit rocky because, when following the directions, we were sent to a cruise‑ship area near the kids’ circus — about a 20‑minute walk from the actual location. When we asked around, no one seemed to know where the Goatboat was. I’d recommend arriving at least 30–45 minutes early to avoid the running around I ended up doing with my kids. Thankfully, Conor was kind enough to wait for us, so the boat left about 15–20 minutes late. Once we got going, it was a great experience. I wouldn’t mind trying it again next time.
