I have fished almost all the party boats in CT and RI . There are jerks and drunk idiots on most boats . The Hel-cat out of Groton has the least amount of tolerance for drunks . They dont let alcohol to be brought on board . I dont know what their schedule is but i think they are on charters right now for Cod or will be soon . Worth a shot ? The Blackhawk is an awesome choice for a CT boat going out for Tog and Sea Bass . Captain Greg is a great guy and loves having kids aboard . He encourages it all the time . Check their web page for information . Some may may let loose with F-bombs on occasion but most fisherman respect the kids on board . I even watch my mouth around young kids . Most boats encourage kids depending on seas . Have seen kids younger than 9 on party boats many times , tangles are part of the game on a party boats .

These are boats I have fished most for many years . Check their web pages for more info . They all have good Captains and crews from my times on these boats .

Ct Boats
Blackhawk
Mijoy
Hel-Cat
Sunbeam

RI Baots
Francis Fleet ( multiple boats )
Seven B's

I would go out on the Blackhawk without hesitation with kids in Ct !
