There were 712 survivors in Titanic's lifeboats.
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
When the last lifeboat was launched, roughly 1,500 people were still on Titanic. This number is uncertain because many people were already in the water and some of the living were pulled into boats.
Titanic carried a total of 20 lifeboats

D9 was the lifeboat J.M.Brown escaped the Titanic on.
a good twenty people, but there were never enough life boats for all the passengers anyway
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.

Jack was a poor boy so all the rich people in the upper class can go to the lifeboat (some poor women and children and only a few men [not too many] got onto the lifeboat)
Between the 20 lifeboats installed, there were seats enough for 1,178 people.
