Good Party Fishing Boat near Hutchinson Island, FL?

[sgharford]

I want to take my dad and 2 boys (3 and 5) fishing next time I am visiting him on Hutchinson Island (Florida) in February. Can anybody recommend a good party fishing boat? Thinking port out of Fort Pierce or Stuart ideal. Typical amenities like snack bar and ability to bring own cooler with beverages a plus, but family friendly more important as the boys will surely tangle lines. I bring it up now as I want to mention it over Christmas. Thanks – Scott.

I think Ft Pierce Lady(check with City Marina) is the only one left. You will want to check the regulations before you book. Last I checked, grouper, red snapper and sea bass will still be closed in Feb.
