I'd take them out myself but I'm nervous taking my boss and his kids on the boat. I see a million ways that could go wrong. I thought these two boats would be good because it's not a long ride for them to the fishing grounds and bottom fishing is a lot of fun. Thanks for any input.

I spent my summers growing up and still have a place in Harwichport so I have a little insight.
Capn n Kids is really good for kids 2-5 or so. I guess they set a minnow trap at the doc, pull a couple lobster pots on the way out, shoot a water cannon then fish for an hour or two for scup and sea bass. Everybody catches. (My good friend gave me this info, they went out on it Labor Day weekend)
The Yankee is a bit more "serious" but still a drop the bait down to the bottom and wait type deal. They catch a lot of bottom fish like scup, flounder sea bass and the occasional tautog. Captain Clem Kacergis and his crew are good guys.
Hope this helps.
