Capacity

Hire boats will have separate cabins, each for two people. In addition, most boats have the possibility of converting a saloon sofa or dining area banquette into an additional bed.

So if a boat is listed as '4+ persons' it sleeps four people comfortably in two cabins, with the option to sleep further people (normally two) if required.

Many people also like the option of having a spare cabin to store belongings and goods bought during their holiday.
