How much do you tip a charter first mate?

Charter boat fishing captains reported that they generally receive tips of 10 to 20% of the trip cost. A tip of 15% is generally expected. The tip is divided between the captain and the partner on most ships. Tipping is common on fishing trips, especially in the United States.

The industry standard is 15-20% of the total price. First mates usually work just for tips, and that's why it's often expected.
