pontoon boat cruise question

[mkrbdj]

I am wondering if anyone knows if WDW will allow 11 people on the pontoon boats? Our group includes 5 children ages 7, 9, 12, 13, 15.

I was kind of hoping if the driver saw our group he would allow an extra person. Any insights?

Thanks,
Kathy

Here's the insight -

the CM/driver operating the pontoon boat would be stupid to exceed the max capacity of 10 for the pontoon boat.

Exceeding the max capacity is a safety issue.

Don't hope or expect that or even ask the CM to do it.

Each time I have called to make my reservation, the CM has been adamant in instructing me that no more than 10 people, regardless of age, will be allowed on the boat.

I couldn't imagine any one of the boat captains would be willing to risk their job for this infraction, even if there was only one boat there and no witnesses. Since all boats are moored together and all of the other boat captains will be there, I don't think there's a chance in hades that a boat captain would let you just sneak another person on the boat.
