Charter by guest count

30 of the 41 listed vessels publish a guest number. These are the six bands they fall into. Remember that a day-passenger limit and an overnight berth count are different figures on the same boat.

2 to 6 guestsCouples, a small family, or two couples sharing. The size where a monohull is still comfortable and the price stays sane.4 vessels
7 to 8 guestsOne family with older children, or four couples. The most common bareboat catamaran configuration in Australia.5 vessels
9 to 12 guestsExtended family, or a small corporate group. Above eight guests, whole-vessel pricing usually beats per-person.7 vessels
13 to 20 guestsParties and functions. Almost always a day charter, because overnight berth counts do not reach these numbers.5 vessels
21 to 30 guestsLarge day charter territory. The certificate, not the deck space, sets the limit.4 vessels
More than 30 guestsThe largest sailing vessels in the directory, up to 49 passengers on one monohull. Events, not holidays.5 vessels
