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 !

Hel Cat website says they are done until spring. It will probably be either the Blackhawk, of to RI on the Frances Fleet or Island Current has unbelievable reports on their tog trips.
