It's funny, I run charters now for a captain when he needs time off and as a skipper I can see the value in having a super mate. The big keys are this, be personable with the charter and talk with them! Second, be able to run the show on deck. If a mate can do these two things he should do very well on tips $$$. Plus, that allows the guy running the boat to focus on catching fish, not yappin' with the customers!
