Like anything tips are subjective.

If you go, learn a ton & enjoy yourself, tip 20%.

If you go and the captain seems hungover and miserable (I know that's not Dom, but just throwing out an example) then tip less.

No set percentage for gratuity to the captain. But if there's a mate, it's always a good idea to tip him/her well.

What is the going rate for tips?

Percentage for trip without any fish landed?

Percentage for trip with fish landed and filleted?

If the captain gets into the fighting rotation,
how much does it effect the tip?

I want to be fair to the charter, and don't want to
show up without enough dough. If there are other
considerations, please advise.

Also, if you have any general advise, I am interested.
I hear the class of fish this year a pretty big. Any
fighting tips you have for me would be appreciated.

Thanks!
