Small to Mid‑Size Groups (up to 6)Groups of six or fewer are straightforward reservations: captain fees are included in the charter cost and the booking is not considered a bareboat charter.
3
Larger Groups (7 to 13 passengers)Charters can accommodate larger parties (up to 13 people plus the captain depending on the boat), but groups over six passengers trigger USCG bareboat charter rules and require the captain to be paid separately in addition to the charter fee.
4
Families with ChildrenEvery person is counted as a passenger regardless of age, so plan capacity and fees with the full headcount in mind.
