Yes, three people can share a boat. The maximum number of people allowed on a single boat depends on various factors such as the size and type of the boat, water conditions and authorities’ regulations.

For example:

  • In general, smaller boats (e.g., kayaks or small inflatables) are designed for 1-2 people.
  • Medium-sized fishing boats can accommodate up to 4-6 people.
  • Larger recreational boats like yachts or motorboats can carry more passengers; some might be suitable for up to 8-12 people.

However, in most cases, it is essential to check the boat’s capacity and design before setting out with a group. Additionally, local authorities may impose specific limitations on passenger numbers due to safety concerns or environmental regulations.

In summary: while three people can share a small boat, the maximum number of people allowed on one boat depends largely on factors like the type of vessel and local regulations.
