Yeah, I would ALWAYS tip the mate, because it's hard work to keep everyone happy even on a great day.

The captain gets his pay from the price of the trip, but the mate gets most of theirs from the tips, otherwise the captain usually ponies up for the mate's pay.

Unless you have an exceptionally horrible trip, with exceptionally poor service, tipping is proper.

I am a legend in my own mind!
