A note on gratuity

Gratuity is not included in the price of your charter. If you had a great day on the water, tips are always appreciated and are a great way to thank your captain for making your trip memorable. As with most charter services, 20% of the charter price is customary for excellent service. Of course, gratuity is always at your discretion — great service deserves a little love, but we'll never make it weird.
