    TOTAL BLAST

    4 Hour Trip (1 PM) on December 8, 2024 • 5 adults

    This was a total blast. You’re going to love telling family and friends how you went “lobster tickling” in Key West. The captain went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing time on the water. She was engaging, affable, and a true pro when it comes to knowing where to find lobster. Unlike deep sea fishing, the boat ride out was less than 30 min allowing more time for crustacean catching. The boat easily accommodated our group of 5. Her 1st mate, Seba, was a lot of fun and got along swimmingly with our entire group. Highly recommended.

    Half Day Trip with Capt Janis

    4 Hour Lobster Trip on September 22, 2022 • 4 adults

    The BEST experience ever!!! My husband has always wanted to go lobster fishing so after reading the reviews we booked with Capt. Janis and it was amazing. I was nervous and didn't think I would last the entire 4 hours, but we stayed out the entire time we had. Capt. Janis had all the necessary equipment, was great about communicating before the excursion with any questions we had and actual lobster fishing, her knowledge and guidance was great. She put our whole group at ease and we had a great experience. Anyone looking to go Lobster Fishing in Key West, I would highly recommend booking your trip with Capt. Janis. It was a truly amazing experience and we can't thank her enough for all she did on our trip.

    4 HR Trip – Mini-Season Day 1 - 4:00 PM on July 29, 2026 • 5 adults

    Very nice Captain. Took us to 3 different spots. She did have us in great locations with cliffs and holes that you would see lobsters. We found a lot of lobsters but only a few keepers. Overall we had a great experience. Her dog Seaba was an added welcoming buddy on the trip.

    Wonderful experience!

    4 Hour Trip (1 PM) on August 10, 2024 • 2 adults

    From the beginning Janis explained everything well to us, from directions to the marina to how to tickle out a lobster. We caught 8 small lobsters that we returned to grow for next years season.The fun was catching them and I wasn’t disappointed to let them go. I’ve been on a few snorkeling trips and this is the first time the captain watched us and gave us advice as to what area was the best. Thank you - knowledgeable, involved and enthusiastic captain. - top equipment and spotless boat -cute and friendly puppy that was an added bonus -beautiful weather and lots of good lobster hiding holes. -Janis gave us two of her own lobsters that she had caught previously to take home and eat. Thank you and we will be coming back to see her next year for sure.

Response from Captain

Thank you so much for the great review! I’m glad you enjoyed the trip and that we were able to get you into plenty of lobsters. We definitely saw a lot of shorts that day, but you guys worked hard and found some keepers! It was a pleasure having you aboard, and Siba loved having some new buddies on the boat too. Hope to see you back out there with us again!
