Anyone know about Private Yacht Charters.

My boss charted a yacht out of Bahamas last month,there were 4 of us on it plus the 6 crew.

The charter was 70k for 10 days cruising down the exumas.He paid an extra 30% APP thats for food,drinks,fuel etc.

At the end of the charter,my boss gave them 2k in cash as a tip,Captain said he expected minimum 15 to 20% tip so 10.5 to 14k USD and gave back the 2k.

Whats the tipping etiquette on this sort of deal ?

See it as getting 2k compensation for having to deal with a pr!ck.

Had dinner at a pub in Keston today, bottom of the menu said 10% would be added to our bill as a service charge.
2 mediocre dinners, 2 small puddings & 2 ciders. £45.

 


I refuse to believe there are that many people out there that can't spell. Too f**king lazy, that's what I think.

you do not have to pay that , ask for it to be taken off if you think the food and service doesent warrant a tip
