Islamorada, FL, United States

Fish Dauntless is based out of Islamorada, in the heart of the Florida Keys. Capt. Jim has been fishing in South Florida since before he could walk and has spent his entire adult life building up the skills needed to get you on that fish of a lifetime.

The 'Dauntless' is a 27' Conch center console with room aboard for up to four anglers. She is equipped with GPS and fishfinder to track down the best battles, and a livewell full of fresh bait to make sure nothing can resist your hooks. She also has a T-top to keep the sun of you and your group, making her perfect for family groups.

You have a huge range of trips and options to choose from, ranging from four-hour stints to eleven-hour marathons. Shorter trips focus on the local reefs or inshore gamefish like Tarpon. Reef fishing in the Keys is an amazing way to fill the boat with colorful, tasty fish, and nothing beats the sight of the Silver King on the end of your line.

Unless you head to the bluewaters, that is. On longer trips, you can target Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Tuna, and if you stay out long enough, even Swordfish. This is some of the most intense sportfishing you could ever ask for, and even seasoned pros are put to the test by the awesome fighting power of South Florida's Billfish.

Capt. Jim will adapt each trip to your skill and interests. If you want to load up on delicious fish, he will make it happen. After that one monster or a specific species, he'll switch things up to do just that. He has worked alongside some legendary captains in the past and is always happy to pass on the skills he has learned. Whatever he can do to make your trip more special, he'll do with the smile of a man who really, really loves his job.

Hard-working captain who put us on the fish
3/4 Day Trip - Reef & Wreck on February 27, 20263 adults
The bite was slow at first for everyone on the water, but Captain Jimmy kept moving and worked hard to find the right spots. We ended up catching fish and even landed a 50-lb amberjack. We’re novice fishermen, and he was patient, helpful, and took the time to show us the ropes. Great experience all around.

We had a great time with captain Jimmy. He got us on the fish and we caught tuna and amberjacks. My son had a wonderful time and we appreciate that Jimmy kept moving to find fish. Would recommend.

Great Day on the water again!
Full Day Trip - Offshore on March 20, 20253 adults
Captain Jim had us on the Tuna bite early! Based on the reactions at the Marina, pretty certain we out-fished the other offshore boats today. Jim is always prepared and has The Dauntless ready to go. Great to see the Dauntless with two new engines and several other updates since the last time I fished with him. We will definitely book again!

Full Day Trip - Offshore on July 2, 20254 adults
We came to celebrate our oldest’s high school graduation. Captain Jim worked hard to find the fish and we caught mahi and tuna. He recommended a restaurant to prepare some of our catch, which was excellent. He was very patient when one of our children became sea sick. Highly recommended!
