How many passengers can most 25 to 35 foot yachts carry?
Everywhere I look for passenger and weight capacities for boats they are listed simply as "Yacht Certified." Is there a rule of thumb for determining how many passengers a boat can carry? I need to know in order to figure out how large a boat I need to buy.
You could really have opened up a can of worms here…
As the USCG does not require manufactures of vessels over 21 feet to display passenger capacity plates – thus, your problem.
However, the USCG can cause you a heap of trouble if your vessel appears over loaded. They know one when they see one – and so do most experienced boaters.
To answer your question as to the "capacity" one must know the total displacement weight of the vessel, and subtract from that: the actual weight of the vessel including the weight of motors, accessories, equipment, fixtures, furniture, fuel, water, batteries, etc. – - – the difference or balance = the capacity in pounds of your vessel. I know, this does not help you – but this is the law the way it is today – though many boaters are trying to change it.
As with most cases, the rule of thumb here is good common sense.
The better way to ask your question would have been to ask what size vessel would someone recommend to carry a given number of passengers. And, include how you plan to use the boat… on what kind of water… and what kind of vessel, (ie: sail or power) … With very few exceptions, one can "comfortably" accomodate more people on a power boat then on a sail boat of the same length… and one's comfort level aboard also generally affects one's safety.
I for one have owned 26 footer and a 36 footer… and I can tell you that you won't be getting very many people on either… For me, the 26' Cabin Cruiser w/ Fly-bridge was perfect for me and my wife, when our three kids were very small… sometimes we had "Grandma" with us… and often another (childless) couple. With 5 adults and 2 small kids (who mostly stayed in the V-berth playing) this 26' x 13' beam with a large open rear cockpit was just OK… one more person, one more kid in fact would have been one more too many… Not so as to cause the boat to sink or become unstable – but simply because of room and comfort to move around and sit without sitting on someone.
As far as the 36' it too was a Cabin Cruiser w/Fly-bridge… same design as above only 10' longer and about 6" wider… On the 36' we (my wife and I) could take three other couples out boating with us – and we could all have a great day and end it with dinner sitting around a table in the center of the cockpit.
It was comfortable… but one more couple would have been one couple too many.
So there you have it… I'm not talking "sink the boat" capacity here… we were far from that… I am simply talking personal and safety space as well as comfort…
8 adults on the 36 footer
5 adults (say 6 with no kids) on a 26 footer
# of "berths has nothing whatsoever to do with capacity or intended amount of passengers or crew – and certainly has nothing to do with comfort level… as both my 26' and 36' proclaimed to "sleep" 6. But I will tell you from experience, neither vessel would do this comfortably…
Happy and Safe Boating!

how much are yacht broker fees?
It varies with the location and the price of the yacht, but typically a yacht broker will charge about 10% of the sales price.
If there are other brokers in the area, you can always negotiate the fees, as well as terms. For example, free parking in their slip while the craft is being marketed.
If there aren't many brokers in your area, consider moving the boat to a busier location where there will be more prospective buyers. Call up brokers in that area and ask them for price and terms.
Best of success.

Want to rent a sailing boat for 1 day in Cozumel?
I'm going to Cozumel in August and would like to rent a sail boat for one day. Anyone know of a boat rental place I can try? I know the resort we are staying at rents out those tiny catamarans by the hour, but we want something a little bigger (nothing fancy) and available for a full day. We're staying at the northern end of the island in case that makes a difference.
I would check out this website in Cozumel.

What would I need to do to become a Captain for a luxury yacht?
I wanted to be a captain for a cruise ship but that probably wont happen, so instead I want to be a Yacht captain, what schooling/ licenses are needed to become one? I would like to captain a yacht about 200ft in length (motor, non sail) , nothing more than that.
If you currently do not have a license and are interested in becoming a “Charter Boat Captain,” you can achieved this goal by obtaining a variety of licenses, as detailed below.
General Requirements for License’s Checklist
Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessel (OUPV) or “6-Pack” License – This license is most appropriate for uninspected passenger vessels which by law are limited to six or less passengers for hire. These are usually smaller vessels and normally engage in charter fishing, whale watching, SCUBA diving, and tour cruises. This license is limited to near coastal waters only not more than 100 miles offshore and is not valid for international voyages.
OUPV Limited License – Also known as Limited Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessels. This is commonly known as a “launchtender license” and is issued to those employed by organizations such as yacht clubs, marinas, formal camps, and educational institutions, limited to the specific activity and locality.
Limited Master License (less than 100 gross register tons) – This is the same license as directly above, but is issued to those who operate Coast Guard inspected vessels.
Master, 100 Tons License (less than 100 gross register tons and only for 25, 50, or 100 gross register tons) – This license is most appropriate for operating small passenger vessels carrying more than six passengers that are inspected for and carry a USCG Certificate of Inspection. Typical vessels include charter boats (head boats), small ferries, dinner boats, and whale watch vessels.

What is the best vacation spot in Michigan for outdoor type activities – boating, fishing, hiking?
It might depend on what "boating" is for you. If that includes sports like tubing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, then I certainly recommend the Coldwater Lake area in South Central Michigan.
Additionally, you might check out Torch Lake or Houghton Lake in northern lower Michigan. Both of these lakes are famed for boating sports.
At any rate, there are a million things to do everywhere in Michigan, and I hope you have fun there!

Do Israel ships deliberately block food and medical supplies from starving Palestinians?
An Israeli naval vessel collided on Tuesday with a boat carrying activists and medical supplies that was trying to break the blockade of Gaza, forcing it to head to port in Lebanon.
Passengers on board the the 20-metre (66-foot) Dignity said the Israeli patrol boat rammed their vessel.
Israel is willing to kill Americans………….. are US Jews willing to do the same to Americans to defend Israel?
