my enthusiasm level would drop very low for that trip if I had to do that orientation for 6 hours. I don't know what type of boat you are chartering or orienting people on, but that can make a big difference.
I have guests help me all the time, instruction takes minutes and it is pieced out during the week when you figure out who are the helpers and who are the sit and watch.
If they don't know each other just gather for a relaxing sail, you will learn and observe from their behavior who to instruct. ^^^This! Way too much detail for many people. Teach those that want to learn as you go along. You run the risk of coming off as a control freak by having too much information dumped. You have one experienced crew mate, the two of you can handle all aspects of the boat handling. The message I would relay to your newbie crew is that safety of the crew and boat are the primary concerns. You want to remember the cruise for the right reasons.
