We had 6 adults and 2 kids in the dingy on occasion. We all did the trip from Great Harbor to White Bay & back. We shipped some water on the way back... one of my favorite quotes of the trip was from that dingy ride. Both kids were in the bow wearing their mask and snorkels. We were all soaked to the skin. My son in law was driving and says "Well, we're more than half way there and not quite half full of water... I think we're gonna make it!"
