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!
You were all so much fun to have aboard! Thank you!
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
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!
Thank you so much for the super rating - and for choosing Dauntless Excursions!
Loved having you, thank you!
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!!!
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!

The boat name Dauntless, with skeleton/mermaid graphic, is an illustration representing living your best life. I help others live theirs while living my own, combining my professional background with a love of the water, lifetime experience boating, and enjoyment for fishing to make memorable experiences for my guests. I originally came to the Florida Keys to expand my business, including buying a larger boat for chartering and to more fully enjoy being out on the water. I particularly love reef fishing and lobstering. The adventure that comes with catching such a wide variety of fish at the reef is addictive and lobstering is just crazy fun. What makes it even better is sharing the fun and adventure with others.
