I not sure what you consider a mini yacht to be, size wise. But, we have about a 70 foot boat with twin Diesel Engines. I works easiest to dock with one person driving and two people with ropes Bow and Stearn (That three total). Other than docking it easy for one person.|||I agree with the others. One link would be Sail magazine. I live and work aboard a 145 footer with nine crew.

If you are talking about sailing yacht, I'm sure you would need at least 2. However, if it is a motor yacht, i can tell you from experience of having a 56 foot motor yacht there is no problem operating it without help if you know what you are doing. I would never take it out alone just because its not worth the operating cost unless you have friends and family to be there with you, but you really don't need a "crew" to help you sail the yacht providing you know everything about it. However, I have only done light harbor cruising, I'm not talking about going all around the Caribbean, that would just be very stupid because if it were you alone in a yacht in the Caribbean, i can't imagine that would be very safe.
Oh yeah, and don't call it a mini yacht in your story lol. You can describe its length to portray its size.|||what is a mini yacht?? really there is no such thing as a mini yacht. A small yacht on the other hand starts out at 39 feet and above. Anything over 33 feet needs at least two people to handle a boat of that size. Whereas the bigger yachts require up to six people to handle the lines when docking.
