Default Good party boat for little kids?

Hi all, any suggestions on what party boat would be good to take small kids on. My boys are 5 & 4 so they can't handle a full day fishing and they should probably stay in the bay until they get their sea legs. I would like to focus on fluke fishing to start. Any suggestions or experiences you have had are really appreciated. I don't want to start off with a bad experience of them getting sick if at all possible.

Misty Morn and the Atlantic Star out of Atlantic Star are both great 1/2 day boats to consider.

Atlantic Star is very family friendly and lots of time the youngsters outfish the adults! Fun to see ! Also if the conditions are too rough for the little ones,I've seen the Capt. advise the parents to bring the kids another day. However, they fish half day mainly in Sandy Hook/Raritan Bay so mostly the conditions are more gentle than the ocean.

Hate to bring this up but if you are fishing
With young future fishermen fluke may not
be the way to go . Kids get bored quick if the bite
is off. I would recommend trying one of the
sponsors that are porgy fishing. Lots of action
to keep rods bent and young kids busy

Misty morn magic hours, lite crowds, short boat ride, and they shouldn't get sea sick in the back bay. Make sure you check their trip calendar because every week is a bit different. If the weather is really good with no swell, take em porgy fishing
