Masi Boys Fishing Charters
Enjoy awesome inshore fishing with Masi Boys Fishing Charters. Captain Joe Masi is a third-generation fisherman with plenty of local fishing knowledge. He offers custom trips out of St. Petersburg, Florida and loves to show his clients the beautiful area he’s been fishing for over 30 years as well as to have great conversations while catching trophy fish. Mark your bucket list and come fishing with Captain Joe! For more information check out his website, reviews on the internet, or the magazine for which he writes tips and reports monthly.
The captain prides himself on making sure you’re safe and having fun. His vessel is a spacious and comfortable restored 24’ Proline flatback center console made in 1974 It fits up to 4 guests, runs on a 200 HP Suzuki four stroke engine, and uses all the modern navigation electronics. It features a wireless trolling motor, 2 coolers for fish and drinks, and a huge livewell.
The boat can get into less than a foot of water to chase that Red and Snook, as well as head out a couple of miles off the beach for Tarpon, Kingfish, and shallow water reefs. Hop aboard this old-school of a vessel and go get some fish!
You’ll be trolling and spinning for many different prized species on your trip. Apart from those already mentioned, there’s also Mangrove Snapper, Tripletail, Hammerhead Shark, and many more. You may keep fish that is in size and season or you may toss it back to the water. It’s up to you. The only things you’ll need for the trip are snacks and drinks.
Most of Captain Joe’s clients are repeats and that explains itself. Though he works hard to get you the fish, sometimes it just doesn’t bite and that’s why they call it fishing. But rest assured that you’ll have a great time on the water as well as some laughs, and that’s what it’s all about. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call Captain Joe.
Book today and have a memorable fishing trip in Florida!

4 Hour inshore Trip (AM)
Another fun excursion with Capt Joe
This was my second trip with Joe, we went out last year for the 4hr trip and brought back a dozen keeper grunt fillets to cook up. This year we were coming off a couple days of rainy, windy weather and the gulf was rough so we stayed on the intracostal areas but the water was still murky. Had a fair amount of bites, boated some trout that were just undersized so had to throw back but still fun to catch. Plus a couple hammerhead sharks about 18-20 inches that fought pretty good. Joe is very active on the boat, organized and worked hard for us, changing spots several times. Unfortunately no keepers this time, but that's why it's "fishing" and not "catching"!

3 Hour Trip – Big Game Shark (AM)
Lots of Sharks!!
What an amazing trip. The captain was attentive to my son’s desires and super patient with making sure they caught sharks! He worked his butt off to keep the bait luring the hammerheads and black tip sharks coming in. When they did, he knew exactly what to do and how to make my kids feel like they were the anglers of the year. We would definitely recommend the Masi fishing tour!!! He knows this area and the fish well as he is a native. He was on time and a great communicator!

3 Hour Trip (AM)
Unforgettable Day on the Water!
Captain Joe Masi gave my 12-year-old son and me a fishing experience we’ll never forget! From start to finish, everything was smooth, fun, and full of excitement. My son had an absolute blast—especially when he caught a little shark, which totally made his day. Captain Joe was knowledgeable, patient, and made sure we both had a great time. Highly recommend Masi Boys Fishing Charters for families looking to make special memories on the water!

Slaying hogs with Captain Joe!
Captain Joe was the best! He was down to earth and friendly as can be. He knew the best spots to look for fish and knew when it was time to move to a new spot. He insisted on baiting all our hooks and removing any seaweed snagged to take good care of us. He also offered ice waters and sunblock and took us for a bathroom break that was right by the spot we were at because he knew the area well and where accessible bathrooms were. We all caught plenty of fish and each even caught sharks! We most definitely will be back and will book with Joe again. THANKS Captain Joe for taking good care of us!

Great Day on the Water
Our intrepid Captain took us to a few different places inshore where we caught a variety of fish from flounder to a few reds. We even got to see a shark trawling the waters for some lunch. Great trip and can’t wait to come back to FL!
