The craft will handle up to 12 passengers; however our intent in a commercial application was to only have luxury seating for 6. The extra payload capability would allow for passenger/payload combinations while staying within the USCG 6-pack requirements. You will notice that we added a cover on the lift engine. This enclosure intakes clean air from hull vents running through the cockpit and will not allow salt enriched air to come into contact with the engine. This is to allow the craft to operate reliably in a salt water environment. While other manufacturers are running exposed lift engines, our intent was to increase reliability and lower maintenance.
