Short answer: Book a private half day so you control the group and can head in early. Six-pack boats carry up to six passengers including kids. Look for the kid friendly tag, and ask about child life jackets and a toilet aboard.
A private half day keeps it short and keeps strangers off the boat. Inshore trips run in calmer water.
Most charter boats carry up to six passengers under the captain's USCG OUPV license. Kids count toward that number.
Child size life jackets? Toilet aboard? Shade? Can we come back early if someone feels sick, and how is that priced?
