When I was a mate mid 80's into the 90's if I was given the tip it was all mine but if they gave it to the captain he would split it 50/50 with me, which I thought was BS. The boat I worked was owned by a local corporation which meant more often than not the people did not tip and I got $75 for the day pay. The pay sucked but it allowed me the time and flexibility to fish the Canal when we did not have a charter (which was often), and I stayed on my folks boat in the Bourne marina which is walking distance from the Canal.
