The Short Answer

Boat Charter for a Group of 17 to 20 People

A group of 17 to 20 is typically split across two boats running close to their combined 24-guest capacity (12 + 12 under U.S. Coast Guard rules), traveling and anchoring together at the same destination. It's one coordinated booking even though it's two vessels — one 30% deposit, one point of contact, and the group stays together at every stop. This size group is common for milestone birthdays, bachelor or bachelorette groups, and family reunions, and works for any of the usual destinations — Icacos, Palomino, Culebra, Vieques or the USVI — plus add-ons like catering, a private chef or jet skis for the group.
