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

The captain and first mate were both great and made sure my wife and I had a great time. My only regret is that we didn’t book with her the last time we came to the Keys. I would recommend this trip for anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing day in the water.
