About Gratuities

First an foremost, any gratuity at all is incredibly appreciated but is never required. You will receive our 100% effort every time, with or without a gratuity.

Like most service industry jobs, a 15%-25% gratuity is very much appreciated. The job your guides do for you begins several hours before you arrive and doesn’t end for several hours after you’ve disembarked. It involves making sure the boat is in perfect and clean condition when you arrive. Taking amazing care of you while you’re on the boat, filleting your catch, teaching about our fisheries, and making sure all the fishing equipment is in perfect order every single day after every single trip. After the trip, a thorough cleaning of the boat, rinse down and inspection of equipment, replacing any lost or broken tackle or gear, regulatory book keeping and more keeps them occupied long after your trip is over.
