seriously though...
extra cash is needed for tips, whatever your drink tab is, and for fish cleaning if you keep fish...(please remember to CPR calicos)

my fishing cohorts and I use this theory for tips on sportboats:
$10.00 per crew member per day...
one cook, three deckhands = $40.00 per day..
this is on top of the gally tab and the fish cleaning...
I have been appauled on sportboats by the lack of tippage from some folks..the crew on sportboats work their butts off...
and they only make tips! if cheapskates don't tip, they make no money...

another theory I have heard some use is 15% of the cost of the trip...
$495.00x15%=$74.00 that works too...

I like the $10.00 a guy per day theory...
