The San Diego
The San Diego is the best boat for that. They keep the fish ice cold. No fee for parking. Captain is always willing to burn gas to find fish.

Seaforth js only running one 3/4 at the moment and yesterday they pulled in over 100 yellows. I've been on the SD half a dozen time, greast boat/good crew.

San Diego out of Seaforth is a great boat, the plus is the fish hold where your fish are iced. I would reccommend going on a week day, the weekends will have a full load of 50 anglers, a lot of line in the water. Since your son is younger I would highly reccommend a am or pm boat to start. If he loses interest and your on a 3/4 day it's a long day for him.
Tip the crew $20.00 on boarding and ask if he can hang with skipper etc. that's a huge plus and nothing like seeing your son get to push a button, spin the wheel etc. Tuesday and Wednesday are your best bet |

I'm pretty partial to the Malihini out of H & M Landing.

Malihini is my favorite boat but not for a kid. There are not enough seats for kids who get tired. The San Diego is better choice if your taking a 10 yr old

I have not been on SD, but was not impressed with Malahini.

For me it's the San Diego boat from seaforth. Free parking and great tackle shop as well..
Then the boat and crew is fishy and best part understand customer service. Treat you like your a fishing buddy and the captain fishes hard and goes the distance. Took my son when he was 8 and caught his first yellowtail (15pounds). Deckhand guided him till gaff while I took videos and pictures. The excitement they showed and cheering him is something that he remembers to this day and tells his friends about as he felt like he caught a record setting fish.. Yup I'm biased but awesome boat. |

Thank you all for the advice. I will look into the San Diego and hope my boy catches the fish of the day!
