Just what an appropriate tip is will change with the situation, too, because some guides work alone, others work with a mate, and you may want to tip more or less depending on the level of service.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to differentiate between charters and guides at this point, because although there\u2019s no set definition for either, most charter boats have mates who often work for tips and tips alone. Some larger charters that take out more people than the standard \u201csix pack\u201d crew of six may even have multiple mates. But captains who work alone and take out smaller parties, on the other hand, are usually referred to as guides.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tipping_a_small_boat_fishing_guide\"><\/span>Tipping a small boat fishing guide<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As a general rule of thumb, the standard tipping etiquette you\u2019d use in a restaurant applies to fishing guides. Anything under 15 percent of the cost of the trip would be thought of as a penalty for a poor experience, 20 percent would be for meeting expectations, and 25 percent would be a bonus.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that if you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/fishing-boat-rentals\">rent a fishing boat<\/a> with a captain, as far as tipping goes that still counts as hiring a guide or booking a charter. Although the terminology and the booking process may be a bit different, they\u2019ll still be working to make sure you have a great day on the water and catch as many fish as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/fishing-boat-rentals\">Book your next fishing boat rental<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tipping_on_charters\"><\/span>Tipping on charters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-40891 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fishing-charter-tipping.jpeg\" alt=\"fishing charter tipping\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fishing-charter-tipping.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fishing-charter-tipping-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On charter boats working with a mate, the mate is usually (though not always) working just for the tip. The same rates apply, except that instead of handing the tip to the captain you\u2019d give it to the mate or mates. When there are multiple mates it\u2019s okay to hand the tip to one of them, as tips are generally pooled and split, but if you want to tip a specific mate extra because they worked particularly hard or were especially pleasant, be sure to tell them that and tip them separately from the rest of the crew.<\/p>\n<p>The same goes for captains who do an especially good job; tip the mates separately, and then approach the captain. Also, know that in some cases the captain will still share their tips with the mate(s) or ask you to pass it on to them, but either way they\u2019ll still appreciate the gesture.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/planning-a-group-fishing-charter-or-tournament\">planning a group charter<\/a> where the cost of the trip will be shared, be sure to give everyone a heads-up about tipping ahead of time. People who don\u2019t regularly fish on charter boats may not realize that tipping is expected, and many people don\u2019t carry much cash these days in case they\u2019re caught unaware.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tipping_guides_and_charters_for_the_experience\"><\/span>Tipping guides and charters for the experience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40892\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/tipping-your-fishing-guide.jpeg\" alt=\"tipping your fishing guide\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/tipping-your-fishing-guide.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/tipping-your-fishing-guide-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s always important to remember that a guide or captain, no matter how good he or she may be at their job, can\u2019t control the weather or whether the fish will bite. Either factor can contribute to having a disappointing trip, but that isn\u2019t necessarily a reflection of how the person is doing their job. More important is attitude, how hard he or she works to try to make the trip a success, and honesty.<\/p>\n<p>Did the captain and\/or mate greet you with a smile, and stay positive no matter what? Did they race around the boat all day keeping the baits fresh and the lines set, even if the fish weren\u2019t biting? If they\u2019re a pleasure to be around and they give it their all, you can\u2019t blame them for rough seas or slow fishing.<\/p>\n<p>The very best captains may even give you a heads-up if the fishing is particularly slow or it will be uncomfortably windy and rough, and may suggest rescheduling. When this happens, remember that they\u2019ve willingly given up their income for that day to help ensure your experience is a positive one \u2014 and when you do eventually go, you should bear that in mind when it\u2019s time to tip them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line? Tipping fishing guides and charter boat crew isn\u2019t any different from tipping in other venues. If someone has done their best and you\u2019ve had fun, tip them accordingly.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\">About\u00a0us<\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/\">Boatsetter<\/a>\u00a0is the leading online marketplace for boat rentals and on-water experiences.
