A tip is greatly appreciated. A normal tip is just like wait staff in a restaurant,15 – 20 % of the trip cost, based on the quality of your experience. Please remember when determining a tip amount to judge mostly the effort put forth by the crew. One of the things I stress with my crew is a solid effort. The tip can be added to the charter fee and will be paid in full to the crew. You also can give the tip directly to the captain at the end of the charter. He splits the tip with the crew, giving the majority to the mates.
