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.

Monster Permit!
5 Hour - Tarpon & Shark (AM) on May 11, 20262 adults

Our trip with Capt Joe was amazing. I had texted him when I booked the trip that I was on the fence between a tarpon or a permit trip. Ive caught Tarpon before but never had a chance at a Permit. Capt Joe made the decision to head to his permit spot when the tarpon weren’t cooperating. Im so glad we did! About 30 min later the fight was on, and trust me thise permit are tough! The result for me was a fish of a lifetime. I also caught a nice gag grouper and a 30+ inch Snook on another spot on our way back. Capt Joe just kept working all day to make it happen. Ill be booking with Joe again next year for sure!! Thanks Again!!

Awesome Day with Masi Boy’s Fishing
Mid day trip 3 hour on November 24, 20252 adults1 child

Had a wonderful experience with Joe Masi from Masi Boy’s Fishing today with my sons. We are avid fishers from Long Island and going forward we will be spending plenty of time fishing in the St. Pete’s area with Joe. Fish were plentiful and a wide range of species in only a 3 hour trip. Captain Joe was both very knowledgeable and helpful to my young sons in teaching them the waters and how to fish. See you again in a few months! Thank you Captain for the trip!

Very big Tarpon! Oh Yeah!
5 Hour Trip – Tarpon (AM) on June 14, 20263 adults

My 2 sons and I wanted to catch a big Tarpon and the Masi Boys charter delivered big time. Joe Masi was a great guide and we learned a lot on this trip. A 1 hour snd 20 minute fight certainly raised blisters on my son Adrian’s hands but Joe Masi coached him through the whole fantastic experience.

what a fight very few tarpon have fought that hard out of the 1000 we have caught on my boat

Angler's Choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

Captain Joe's been fishing since around 2 years old and hasn't looked back. He comes from a family of fishermen and was taught a lot at a young age. He has two younger brothers and they love to fish together when they have time. Captain Joe's done a lot of fishing and still enjoys it. Now that he's gotten a little older, he enjoys seeing others catch fish and teaching them, and seeing them get the passion he has is more rewarding than you can imagine.
