Yacht for 12 People in Puerto Rico

A group of 12 is at the top end of a mid-range yacht's capacity — the recommendation is a 38-45ft sport yacht, or the 48ft catamaran for extra deck space.

The Short Answer

Recommended: A 38-45ft Yacht or the 48ft Catamaran

A group of 12 sits right at the top of a mid-range yacht's capacity. Boating Puerto Rico's 38-45ft sport yachts comfortably fit up to 12 guests and run $1,400-$2,700 for a 4-hour charter, fully all-inclusive. For a group of exactly 12 that wants more room to move around, the 48ft catamaran is a strong upgrade — its twin-hull layout offers more deck space, priced $3,000-$4,000 for 4-6 hours. Past 12 guests, a second boat can be coordinated so the full group charters together.

FAQ

Group size FAQs

How many people can go on the boat?

Boating Puerto Rico has boats for groups of 4 to 24 passengers. Small center console boats accommodate 6-7 guests. Sport yachts (38-45ft) and the 48ft catamaran fit up to 12 guests. For larger groups, the company can coordinate two boats simultaneously.

What boat is best for exactly 12 people?

A 38-45ft sport yacht fits 12 guests at the lower end of the price range ($1,400-$2,700 for 4 hours). The 48ft catamaran fits the same 12 guests with more deck space, at $3,000-$4,000 for 4-6 hours.

Are the charters private or shared?

All Boating Puerto Rico charters are 100% private — you never share your boat with another group.

Can we celebrate birthdays or special events?

Yes. Private charters are popular for birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties, anniversaries, and corporate events — decorations and add-ons are available.

What's included on a 12-guest charter?

Captain, mate, fuel, water, sodas, ice, beer, floating mat, Bluetooth music, snacks, fruit, and sandwiches or wraps are all included.

Do we need to split into two boats at exactly 12 guests?

No, 12 guests fits within a single boat's capacity — a second boat is only needed once the group exceeds 12.

How far ahead should a group of 12 book?

A couple of weeks ahead is recommended for weekend dates, and about 30 days ahead if you may need a second boat.
