If you are bringing a large family or group, we can easily accommodate up to 12 people. We will dedicate two boats to your group. Its fun to take pictures of each other from the viewpoint of a nearby boat. Our captains will keep the boats close together throughout the trip. The group can spread out and have plenty of room with the use of two boats. This is often more comfortable and fun than crowding onto one even larger boat.
