Get yourself a nice, deep 23-25' boat that you can do in-shore with & on good calm days that can get you a ways off shore & you'll love it, as will the family.

Nah, get a good and proper flats skiff for the shallows, then go off shore in settled weather. There ain't a v-hulled 23-25 foot boat on earth that can properly navigate the flats. Little vee on a good bonefish rig can handle some chop just fine.
