Background: 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.

Captain Janis went the extra mule to make sure we had a great time, despite the fact that the weather did t want to cooperate. She checked the radar, re-routed and made sure we got time on the sandbar, despite having to dodge a storm or two to do it. She was cool, knowledgeable and helpful all the way and we loved her dog, Siba! Would definitely recommend!

Thank you so much Sarah! You ladies were an absolute blast to have on the boat today! The weather definitely made us work for it, but I wasn’t about to let a few storms steal your sandbar time. I was happy to stay out a little later and make sure you got plenty of time to enjoy it. You all had such a fun attitude through the whole adventure, and Siba loved the extra attention too! Thanks for rolling with the weather and making the day so much fun. I’d take you ladies out again anytime! ⚓️🐾☀️

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.... More

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! 🐾🚤

We were first time lobster fishermen and Capt Janis was amazing teaching us and fishing with us all day. We saw puffer fish, a manatee, tarpon, a conch, many many colorful fish, and an abundance of lobsters. Her equipment is good and our mascot ( her pup ) watched out for us all day.
