In Response To: maximum capacity neptune 24 (pic) (Irwin)

The N24 has a very large capacity and yet it does not make into a ferry very well. I have had 6 adults aboard mine and felt very safe. # of life vests is an issue here too. Sailing should be comfortable. You have a small craft and so the numbers should be small also.

The MAX I have had aboard is 4 adults and 8 kids. It was fine...We adults were in the cockpit...The kids in the cabin and foredeck.
