How do you know how many passengers you may carry? (small passenger vessel regulations)
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — The amount on the Certificate of Inspection
The maximum number of passengers a vessel is permitted to carry is strictly dictated by the Certificate of Inspection issued by the Coast Guard. This limit is based on stability, lifesaving equipment capacity, and deck space, as mandated by 46 CFR Subchapter T regulations for small passenger vessels.
