I guessed based a 6 foot beam estimated from the canopy.

A 20 foot craft shouldn't be that narrow. 

If I zoom in closer it looks wider, or not, hard to tell. The occupants do look thrilled.

I would have guessed more like 21.5 feet. But yes, hard to tell.  Mom looks terrified, kid looks to be on his phone, and dad... hard to say, but I suspect his boat payment was flashing thru his head many times over.

I needed a few crowns last year and my longstanding dentist friend let me know it would only cost two or three boat payments.

I've heard no overt news about injuries or deaths consequent to the sinkings.

As their craft went down, the sailors probably had a sinking feeling...

His boat payments, not mine and yes it is nice according to the pictures he flashes. Cruises inside Vancouver, Queen Charlotte's every summer to Alaska.  Ya think if he was really a "friend" I would get invited to G&Ts when he is docked at least.
