Welcome to Dauntless Excursions! You Key West Custom Boat Charter – Sandbar, Snorkeling, Eco Tours, Lobstering, and More!

Escape the crowds and experience the Florida Keys with a private charter aboard the bay boat Dauntless II, the newest in the Dauntless Excursions fleet. Designed for shallow water fun, this trip is perfect for exploring the hidden side of Key West — where the big boats can’t go.

This isn’t a cookie-cutter tour. You’ll build your own adventure with activities like:

🏝️ Sandbar hopping to the best local hangouts for swimming and relaxing
🤿 Snorkeling tours in clear backcountry waters with tons of sea life
🌴 Key West eco tours through quiet mangroves full of birds, dolphins & turtles
🦞 Hands-on lobstering trips (when in season) where you catch your own dinner
💍 Elopements - the most memorable and unique way to get married

Mix and match any or all — it’s your trip, your way.
*** Note that this trip DOES NOT go to the Dry Tortugas.

Perfect for couples, families, and small groups looking for a personalized, laid-back experience on the water. Whether you're into nature, action, or just soaking up the sun, Dauntless II is your ticket to authentic backcountry fun just minutes from Key West, Florida.

Trip Options: 3hrs up to full day (8 hrs), departure time is flexible
Group Size: Up to 3 guests, ideal for couples and small families (can do 4 if it's two adults and two small children)
Included: Snorkel/lobster gear, cooler with ice, USCG-licensed local captain
Bring: Non-spray, reef-safe sunscreen, drinks/snacks, towels, and your adventurous spirit.

Book your private Key West boat tour today and explore the wild, quiet side of the Keys with Dauntless Excursions. Local, experienced, and fully customizable.

⚠️ Note that same day bookings need at least 1 1/2+ hours notice, and book before 3PM for late day/sunset trips

⚠️ Message the captain with your preference for a more flexible departure time or mix of activities you have in mind

June boating trip
Sandbar Quickie 2ppl, 2hrs, $295 on June 26, 20262 adults
We had an amazing experience on the 2-hour trip with Captain Janis and her sweet dog, Siba! We brought our 1-year-old mini Dachshund on his very first boat trip, and everything was absolutely perfect. Captain Janis was so welcoming, friendly, and made sure both we and our pup felt comfortable the entire time. Siba was adorable and got along great with our dog. It was such a relaxing and memorable experience, and we couldn’t have asked for a better first boating adventure with our little one. 🐾🚤💙
Response from Captain
June 27, 2026
Thank you for such a thoughtful review! It was so much fun having you aboard, and I loved getting to be part of your mini Dachshund's first day on the water. Siba definitely enjoyed having a new boating buddy, and I'm glad everyone had a great time. Hearing that your first boating adventure together was such a great experience really means a lot. Come back and see us anytime—Siba will be ready to welcome her friend back aboard! 🐾🚤

Captain Janis created an amazing day for us!
Sandbar Quickie 2ppl, 2hrs, $295 - 1:00 PM on May 17, 20262 adults
We booked a two hour trip for swimming and relaxation. Janis was awesome! She took us out to Mud Key and through the mangroves to a sandy beach where we had more than enough time to swim. The Dauntless II was a great boat, and we very much enjoyed the trip! We highly recommend booking with Captain Janis!
Response from Captain
May 18, 2026
Thank you so much! It was a pleasure having you two aboard Dauntless II. Mud Key and the cruising the mangroves always make for such a fun, laid-back adventure, and I’m so glad you both enjoyed the swimming, exploring, and relaxing time out on the water. 😊 You were wonderful guests, and I truly appreciate the recommendation. Hope to see you back in the Keys for another adventure someday!

Dauntless indeed
Sandbar Like a Local, 4HR, 10AM on April 9, 20262 adults
Janis' boat Dauntless 2 is apply named. She found a way to get us to a new area Little Snape weaving through sandbars on a windy day when no one else was attempting to take people there.
Response from Captain
April 15, 2026
Thank you so much for the kind words! Dauntless II is great for adventuring. I’m glad we were able to get you to our newly named “Little Snipe” and make the adventure happen despite the wind. It was a pleasure having you aboard—hope to see you again soon!
