4 Hour Reef Fishing Trip – (1PM) on May 11, 2024

It was a last-minute booking since the last charter was canceled at the last minute. Captain Janis and Siba were amazing! My husband only fished while I was chasing my son from chasing Siba. I won't recommend parties with kids because of Siba, kids are inquisitive. We did not snorkel for whatever reason. I wish we would have had the chance to snorkel but was not offered the opportunity. Captain Janis had a nice boat, communicative, and friendly.

Thank you so much for the glowing review! You were a LOT of fun to have aboard. And of course snorkeling was an option!! So sorry if I misunderstood your priorities for the trip. I didn’t know you wanted to snorkel. Before departing, I tell all my guests not to be shy, so I wish you would have said something and I’d have been prepared for that as well. I roll with your vibe! Glad you had a great time though. Thank you so much. For readers of this review, if you have small children, keep in mind that the boat is NOT childproof. All children are welcome but the smaller ones, I’d say under the age of six, may be a handful while you’re trying to enjoy yourself. You know your kids better than anyone. Just chat with me ahead of time so you can have as much fun as this family did.

4 Hour Reef Fishing Trip – (8AM) on September 11, 2024

Captain Janis on a wonderful half-day lobstering trip. Took us to a few different spots and the time flew by at each. Saw some great wildlife and snagged a couple lobsters in the ladder half of our trip.

Had a blast with the captain and the first mate, Seba, was top notch. Caught Mahi, Amberjack, and saw lots of cool turtles and marine life.

6 hour snorkeling & fishing with Capt Janis & Siba

6 Hour Fishing Trip (8AM) on May 20, 2023

My active duty, sailor daughter, personally picked Capt Janis for our snorkeling & fishing charter. Women supporting women in a male dominate field. Let me tell you! Capt Janis did NOT disappoint! From the minute we booked our trip with her, she messaged us, immediately answered questions that we had, and kept full communication with us until we arrived on her boat. She suggested that we snorkel first (which we originally wanted at the end) but it ended up being the best decision for us (Capt knows best) Fishing started out slow, but Janis worked her butt off to help us get some bites! Moving locations, trying different poles, bait, etc. Then our rods were on fire! We had the best day on the water! Janis really knows her stuff, and her first mate Siba was the cutest ever! She definitely has her sea legs and living the life! We would absolutely take this charter again, and recommend this charter to anyone looking to have a safe, fun, family day! Thank you Janis, Siba, and The Dauntless for a perfect family day together.

I'm humbled by such a glowing review. Thank you so much for choosing the Dauntless for your trip. I really wanted you all to have a great time fishing and it definitely took a bit more effort with the lack of current we had to work with. You were all a blast and a lot of fun to have aboard. I'd love to have you back again soon!
