It is standard practice in the industry to pay a gratuity to
your captain on charters. Like the restaurant industry, tips make up a
substantial portion of a charter boat captain's income.
It is a way for you to show your appreciation of the service
you have received from your captain. A typical tip would range between
10-20% of the value of a charter, just like your restaurant bill. Here is a
