Re: 1990 Carver 3607 max capacity
The answer really is: "It's up to the captain's discretion"!
I actually called the USCG and the local Sheriff. Once the boat is over 20', they don't have to placard them nor do they calculate a number of persons. They (USCG) will give you a formula (lengthxbeamx150/"x", but I forgot was "X" was). When I did this, I came up with something like 28 for my boat. I would never put that many folks on there.
Also consider where the weight will be. It will be likely easier to have a bunch of women rather than the same number of ~200lb guys, but also consider limiting how many are on the bridge at any one time, or on the aft deck. I would have no problem with 10 or 12 on the boat and could go as high as 16 in protected waters, but that will also be pretty "cozy".

I think it was a 31 Silverton they put 28 people on. Several on board were kids and two didn't make it. They had several of full-grown males up on the bridge and that likely contributed to the tragedy.
Agreed, several people on the upper deck of a narrow beamed flybridge all on the same side is a disaster waiting to happen.
