Number of Anglers:
The number of anglers allowed by the US Coast Guard is a maximum of 6 with a crew of 2. This limit is for our class of vessel. There is no way around this law and we will in no way break this law.
A 6 person fishing party is the maximum, but the ideal party is 4 anglers. The reason being that the limit of 1 captain and 1 mate makes it difficult for the mate to care for the needs of more than 4 anglers. An overcrowded cockpit presents many problems no matter what the size of the boat. Use your judgment when deciding how many anglers you want on your trip. The type of fishing we will be doing during the trip is the key factor.
