How much do you tip a first mate on a charter?

Fishing captains on rental boats reported that they normally receive tips of 10 to 20% of the cost of the trip. Generally, a 15% tip is expected. The tip is divided between the captain and the partner on most ships. Tipping is common on fishing charters, especially in the United States.

The industry standard is 15 to 20% of the total price. First mates usually work only to give tips, so that's often to be expected. That's not including making sure that all safety checks are done EVERY TIME YOU GO OUT, so spend a lot of time getting everything ready for your best fishing adventure with 1st Choice Fishing Charters. They don't have a First Mate that helps fish or prime the lines or catch the nets, so it's done correctly and they even clean it and pack the catches so you can enjoy your fishing adventure.
