Reef Fishing and Adventures with Dauntless Excursions
If you’re looking to get off the beaten path and onto the water, welcome aboard Dauntless. I’m Captain Janis, and whether you want to fish, snorkel, lobster, or just relax and explore, I’ll help you build a trip that fits what you actually want to do — not some cookie-cutter tour.
Here’s what we can get into:
Reef Fishing – Light Tackle, Big Fun
We’ll head out to the reefs and put some serious bend in the rods. Light tackle keeps it sporty, and you never know what’ll hit. Common catches include:
- Snapper
- Grouper (when in season)
- Mackerel
- Triggerfish
- Barracuda
And plenty of other reef prowlers
You can fish for dinner, catch-and-release, or just enjoy the action. No pressure — just good times and great stories.
Snorkeling the Marine Sanctuary
Want to jump in and see the reef up close? We’ll get you swimming with vibrant coral, colorful fish, and the kind of underwater scenery that makes you wish you had gills. Bring a waterproof camera if you want — it’s worth it.
Snorkeling for Lobster (Seasonal: Aug 6 – Mar 31)
If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, we can snorkel for spiny lobster when they’re in season. It’s part treasure hunt, part underwater hide-and-seek, and 100% crazy addictive fun.
Customize Your Trip
Want to cruise, find a sandbar, watch the sunset, or mix a little of everything? You’re in charge. Tell me what you’re thinking, and we’ll make it happen.
Why Dauntless Excursions?
No two trips are the same. My goal is simple: give you the kind of day you’ll be talking about long after you get back to shore. The boat’s roomy, comfortable, and set up to make sure you have the best time possible — whether you’re fishing hard, chilling out, or doing a little of both.

4 Hour Reef Fishing Trip – (1PM)
We had a great time. The captain was very informative and engaged in making our trip what we wanted it to be. The boat was very clean, well kept and organized. Captain Janis has great energy and is super knowledgeable. She did everything in her power to make our trip the best it could be. I can safely say Captain Janis is the best captain and boat I have been on. I would highly recommend the Dauntless!

Captain Janis on a wonderful half-day lobstering trip. Took us to a few different spots and the time flew by at each. Saw some great wildlife and snagged a couple lobsters in the ladder half of our trip.

It was a last-minute booking since the last charter was canceled at the last minute. Captain Janis and Siba were amazing! My husband only fished while I was chasing my son from chasing Siba. I won't recommend parties with kids because of Siba, kids are inquisitive. We did not snorkel for whatever reason. I wish we would have had the chance to snorkel but was not offered the opportunity. Captain Janis had a nice boat, communicative, and friendly.
