Because of the regulations you are only allowed to carry 12 guests in private mode.
Often yachts can carry more than 12 guests. In commercial operation though, unless the yacht is certified to carry more than 12 passengers, the yacht is limited to 12 passengers. This does not mean that the yacht cannot carry more guests onboard, but it will have to do so in private mode and this needs to be agreed with by the Flag State and often the States of the territorial waters where the vessel wants to operate.
Fees for these services can vary a lot depending on deficiencies found, the actual time spent and whether surveys are limited to classification services of if they also include statutory surveys.
Of course, fees are also related to the size and complexity of the vessel and where she is intended to be surveyed. As an indicative fee for a standard motor yacht of around 60m (197ft) length, if she is well maintained and with a reputable flag, one should consider an annual cost of anything between €10-20K.
Structure-borne noise can be reduced with for example the usage of different resilient mounting solutions and the application of different elastic couplings between engine and gearbox.
