How do you know how many passengers you may carry? (small passenger vessel regulations)

A The amount on the Certificate of Inspection
B As many as possible
C Use your own judgment
D No more than 40 passengers
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) The amount on the Certificate of Inspection. The number of passengers a small passenger vessel may carry is determined by the vessel's Certificate of Inspection (COI) issued by the U.S. Coast Guard. The COI specifies the maximum number of passengers the vessel is allowed to carry, based on factors such as the vessel's size, stability, and safety equipment. This is the legally mandated limit that must be adhered to. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the regulatory requirements governing passenger vessel operations.
