Climb aboard the sister to the Dauntless, the Dauntless II, for a one-of-a-kind Florida Keys adventure—snorkeling for Spiny Lobsters in the warm, clear shallows! This isn’t just another boat ride. It’s a salty treasure hunt led by a licensed captain who knows where the bugs like to hide.

You’ll learn how to spot and snatch your own dinner with all the gear provided and no scuba certification needed. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned lobster snorkeler, this trip is laid-back, fun, and full of surprises.

Perfect for couples, small groups, or families who want to get in on the action. And if you want to add in a bit of reef snorkeling or chill time at a sandbar, just ask—your trip can be tailored to your vibe.

Limited to 3 adults (or 2 adults + 2 kids) for a more personal, uncrowded experience. All the snorkel and lobster gear is provided, and we'll have a cooler with ice for your beverages.

Have a larger group? Check out the listing here on FishingBooker for the spacious and comfortable sister vessel, the Dauntless, that can take up to 6 passengers: https://fishingbooker.com/charters/view/25288

The Lobster Mini Season takes place on the last Wednesday and Thursday of July each year.

The Regular Lobster Season runs from August 6 through March 31.

Beautiful Day on the Water
MOST POPULAR: 3/4 Day Lobster Trip on March 23, 20263 adults

Captain Janis was a very pleasant host for the day and patiently helped my family learn how to snorkel for lobster. This is a trip I’ve been wanting to do for a long time and this experience didn’t disappoint. Thank you so much Captain Janis!

Response from Captain

You were all so much fun to have aboard! Thank you!

Lobster snorkeling
Half Day Lobster Trip on October 3, 20252 adults

We had an awesome time on our lobster snorkeling trip with Captain Janis! She was knowledgeable, patient, and made the whole experience a lot of fun. Her dog came along for the ride, which made it even better. We didn’t end up catching a ton of keepers, but Janis jumped in the water with us to show us exactly what to do and made sure we learned the right way. Highly recommended

Response from Captain

I’m glad Key West’s newest lobster hunters enjoyed the experience. You were a blast to have aboard and quick to pick up how to find and catch the “bugs.” Definitely come back and we’ll do it again!

Lobster Mini Season - 11:30 AM on July 31, 20253 adults

Captain Chris was really good, experienced and insightful to our family who has spent countless hours on the water over the years, but has never went lobster fishing. We learned a ton and can’t wait to come back and do it again, Captain Janus who owns the fleet, was great with communication and had everything in working order as advertised. We LOVED IT!!!

Response from Captain

Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! I’m thrilled to hear you enjoyed your first lobster fishing adventure with Captain Chris. He’s an excellent captain, and I’m glad his experience and insight made your trip so memorable. I truly appreciate your kind words about my communication and the boat’s condition—it means a lot. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another great day on the water!
