I dont think you can quantify boat size as a safe measure. Big boats get in trouble. Are they safer maybe but a good skipper in a small boat is a lot better off than a novice in a large boat. I fish a 21' boat out east, Nantucket, the bank etc and feel safe. I know my limits. I also tuna fish on a buddies 17' whaler a lot and feel safe 25 miles offshore in it. Read the weather and pick a bluebird day. Also each person responds to the conditions differently. Some people puke just being on a boat others could be in the perfect storm in a canoe and not lose their lunch. They make medicine for those people to take before they go out. Use caution and have people not familiar with the oceans wave actions take medicine to be on the safe side.
