Phil Caliri
With over 40 years of fishing experience, Captain Phil Caliri is a seasoned guide and the proud owner of the Lady J, the largest private vessel in the Cape Cod fishing charter fleet. Captain Phil started as a part-time guide, sharing his love for fishing with friends and colleagues. What began as a hobby soon became a full-time career, leading him to become a licensed Ocean Operator and an active member of the Cape Cod Charter Boat Association.
Today, he specializes in striped bass fishing in Barnstable and offers top-tier fishing experiences in the waters of Cape Cod Bay. He enjoys teaching kids how to fish and helping newcomers land their first big catch, all while providing expert fishing techniques and local insights.
Step aboard the Lady J, a 38’ Harris Sportfish boat built for comfort and performance. Originally constructed in 1987 and restored in 2016, this vessel combines classic durability with modern fishing technology. Powered by a 550 HP Detroit Diesel engine, it provides a smooth and powerful ride to prime Cape Cod Bay fishing spots. The spacious deck accommodates up to six anglers, allowing everyone to fish comfortably at the same time.
Join Captain Phil as you target some of the best game fish in Barnstable and Hyannis. Depending on the season, you’ll have the chance to reel in striped bass, bluefish, blackfin tuna, bluefin tuna, mako sharks, thresher sharks, porbeagle sharks, and more. Using techniques like spinning, popping, jigging, and trolling, you’ll get the full sportfishing experience with the added challenge of light tackle fishing, making every fight more exciting.
Lady J Sportfishing provides all necessary gear, including rods, reels, bait, tackle, and fishing licenses. There’s no minimum age for children, and the charter supplies life vests in all sizes. A dedicated first mate is on board to assist with gear, provide tips, and clean and fillet your catch at the end of the trip. While gratuity is appreciated, it’s not required.
All you need to bring are polarized sunglasses, sunscreen, comfortable clothing, and a great attitude. Whether you’re looking to fill your cooler with fresh fish or simply enjoy a day on the water, Lady J Sportfishing is ready to deliver an unforgettable Cape Cod fishing adventure.
