This was a fun experience however it was definitely a little tight for 8 people. It is advertised as "Sleeps 11". We had myself and my husband plus 2) 21 year olds, 2) 19 year olds and 2) 17 year old boys. 7 of those 8 people were all over 6' tall including a 6'-6", 6'-4" and 6'3". There are 4 beds but 2 of the 4 have clipped corners and the 5th sleeping area is the size of a canoe. I don't really know where 3 more people could sleep. A blow up bed was provided but I don't know where you would put it. The oven was missing a knob and both dials were missing all information so didn't really know what they were for. There was a rusted, hanging and disconnected outlet in one of the bathrooms that was definitely an electrical hazard. We had some seepage on the floor in one of the bedrooms. We may have had bed bugs in one of the rooms as my son woke up with about 100 bites on his arms on the 2nd night (they were not no seeum bites). They provided replacement linens but left the old ones in a pile on the dock for 48 hours. I would recommend bringing laundry pods or detergent, I spent 2 hours looking, can't really use one towel for 6 nights, there's nowhere to hang them to dry, kind of gross after showering at a Marina every day. Only being able to shower at the Marina is not something I expected and wasn't made aware of it and not flushing toilet paper until 2 months after booking and at that point we couldn't cancel. We received a 26 page document a couple days before Christmas and were told it couldn't get sent until we had picked a Captain for our 4 day excursion. I didn't receive the Captain list until Dec 11th and didn't know the 26 page document was contingent on the choice of a Captain. We aren't boaters so providing more details upfront would have been life changing. Honestly had I known about not flushing toilet paper and not showering on the boat we would've booked hotel rooms at The Perry...too much stress for 8 people, mostly teenagers, and vacation. This group of travelers really rolled with it but not sure everyone else would.
