Captain Janis has built a strong reputation in Key West for lobstering trips, though she clearly offers much more than that. Reviewers consistently praise her deep knowledge of local waters, her ability to find lobsters even late in the season, and her willingness to jump in the water alongside guests to help them succeed. First mate Siba also gets regular shoutouts, and the two make a well-regarded team on the water. What stands out most is how flexible and personal the experience feels. Guests have combined lobstering with reef fishing, snorkeling, sandbar stops, and dolphin watching all in a single trip. One family noted how patient and attentive Janis was with their autistic child, and she has even officiated elopements on short notice. If you have something specific in mind, she seems genuinely willing to shape the day around it.
Brandy and I had an awesome day on the Dauntless with Capt Janis. She performed our marriage ceremony, then took us to a reef for a great snorkeling trip then we moved off to fish the remainder of the day. The weather was pretty crappy but she made the best of it for us. The boat was great and rode well in mixed seas. After a great trip she cleaned the fish and bagged it up. She recommended a restaurant with a local vibe. "The Hogfish bar and grill" Capt Janis joined us after we invited her. The restaurant prepared our catch. Some blackened and the rest deep friend. It was delicious. We highly recommend Capt Janis and Dauntless Excursions. Darryl and Brandy Donovan
