Sleeping 6-8 adults will take a big boat, especially with all their "stuff" as Baker so eloquently noted.

Little kids, you can pile them up on a sofa and they sleep just fine.

A 40-45' boat can sleep two in luxury, four in comfort, six in a pinch.... AND is easily handled by two, even one in good conditions.

I would not go so big that you can take everyone that wants to go. That is not a reasonable way to spec a boat. Spec one that fits your needs 80% of the time and the remaining 20% revise your needs.
