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.
Great time and lots of lobsters to look at and catch. Highly recommend if you are looking for a lobster fishing charter in Key West Florida.
