I agree with the others, a 23' cuddie seems a little small for two adults
and three children. Remember that they will grow larger over time.
=========================================

It should be OK for day trips. I've had 3 adults and 2 kids on my 24
ft cuddy for an an afternoon with no problem. I know folks who have
cruised 2 adults and 2 kids on a 21 ft and they managed. A lot
depends on expectations. For overnighting you will need full cockpit
canvas and ye olde oaken bucket.
