Reef Fishing and Adventures with Dauntless Excursions

If you’re looking to get off the beaten path and onto the water, welcome aboard Dauntless. I’m Captain Janis, and whether you want to fish, snorkel, lobster, or just relax and explore, I’ll help you build a trip that fits what you actually want to do — not some cookie-cutter tour.

Here’s what we can get into:

Reef Fishing – Light Tackle, Big Fun
We’ll head out to the reefs and put some serious bend in the rods. Light tackle keeps it sporty, and you never know what’ll hit. Common catches include:

- Snapper

- Grouper (when in season)

- Mackerel

- Triggerfish

- Barracuda

And plenty of other reef prowlers

You can fish for dinner, catch-and-release, or just enjoy the action. No pressure — just good times and great stories.

Snorkeling the Marine Sanctuary
Want to jump in and see the reef up close? We’ll get you swimming with vibrant coral, colorful fish, and the kind of underwater scenery that makes you wish you had gills. Bring a waterproof camera if you want — it’s worth it.

Snorkeling for Lobster (Seasonal: Aug 6 – Mar 31)
If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, we can snorkel for spiny lobster when they’re in season. It’s part treasure hunt, part underwater hide-and-seek, and 100% crazy addictive fun.

Customize Your Trip
Want to cruise, find a sandbar, watch the sunset, or mix a little of everything? You’re in charge. Tell me what you’re thinking, and we’ll make it happen.

Why Dauntless Excursions?
No two trips are the same. My goal is simple: give you the kind of day you’ll be talking about long after you get back to shore. The boat’s roomy, comfortable, and set up to make sure you have the best time possible — whether you’re fishing hard, chilling out, or doing a little of both.

Captain Janis is the best!
4 Hour Reef Fishing Trip – (1PM) on March 20, 20253 adults
We had a great time. The captain was very informative and engaged in making our trip what we wanted it to be. The boat was very clean, well kept and organized. Captain Janis has great energy and is super knowledgeable. She did everything in her power to make our trip the best it could be. I can safely say Captain Janis is the best captain and boat I have been on. I would highly recommend the Dauntless!

Jullie twee hebben er echt een superleuke dag van gemaakt. Ik zal nooit vergeten hoe de haai die jullie hadden gevangen werd opgegeten door een nog grotere haai! Wat een spektakel was dat. Heel erg bedankt dat jullie voor de Dauntless hebben gekozen voor jullie vistrip.

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.
