If you’re looking for a great day on the water with some solid fishing, you’re in the right place.

Welcome aboard Dauntless. I’m Captain Janis, and I run laid-back, personalized trips for small groups who want to fish, relax, and actually enjoy their time on the water.

Plenty of shade, room to move around, and a full head onboard—so you’re comfortable the whole trip.

Here’s what your day could look like:

* Reef Fishing – Light Tackle, Big Fun
We’ll head out to the reefs and put some bend in the rods. Light tackle keeps it sporty, and you never know what’ll hit—snapper, grouper (in season), mackerel, triggerfish, barracuda, and more.

Fish for dinner, catch-and-release, or just enjoy the action. No pressure—just a good time.

* Snorkeling the Marine Sanctuary
Want to jump in? We’ll get you swimming over coral, tropical fish, and clear blue water that makes it all worth it.

*Lobster Snorkeling (Seasonal: Aug 6 – Mar 31)
Part treasure hunt, part underwater hide-and-seek—and ridiculously fun.

* Make It Your Day
Want to mix in cruising, a sandbar stop, or just relax? We’ll build the trip around what you actually want to do.

No two trips are the same.
My goal is simple: give you a day you’ll still be talking about long after you’re back on land. Comfortable boat, relaxed vibe, and zero pressure—just a really good time on the water.

** Special Note **
If your group has anyone allergic to dogs, please be aware that First Mate Siba, a Parson Russell Terrier, is always on the boat.

4 Hour Reef Fishing Trip on February 15, 20261 adult
Captain Janis knows what she is doing! Caught all I wanted in no time. It was apparently a challenging day to be out there - i didn't see another boat - but the Dauntless was comfortable and accommodating. I'll be booking again for sure.
Reported catch:
