It depends on the size of the lifeboat, the amount of water it displaces, and how heavy the people are.
Woman and children.

If you are referring to the Titanic's Lifeboat 13, there were 54 aboard. The capacity was 65. There were at least 14 male passengers aboard. Source: http://www.icyousee.org/titanic.html
There were 712 survivors in Titanic's lifeboats.
Lifeboat number 1 carried 5 passengers and 7 crew members, making it a total of 12 people. The lifeboat's capacity was about 45. It was later speculated that the 5 passengers, since they were mostly all from one family, had bribed Officer Murdoch (the officer who launched the boat) to give them a lifeboat all to themselves. This family, the Duff-Gordons, later paid all the crew members in the lifeboat for their lost wages and supplies when the ship sank, and thus people took this as a bribe. In truth, there was no bribery, it was simply kindness taken out of context by the media, and Officer Murdoch launched the boat because the ship was starting to sink fast, and no other people were nearby. He had to get the next lifeboat ready. So, lifeboat 1 had the fewest people, with 12 passengers and crew.
8 on average but it also depends on the size of the boat and the size of the people.
