Customary tips:
Tipping is customary when you are on a boat tour or charter, just like in any other service Industry. The tip amount generally depends on your income level and experience. The excellent tip shows the captain that you had a good time and appreciates his efforts to ensure your trip was safe, fun, educational, and memorable.

How much should you tip?
15 to 20% of your fare is an average tip. If you had a great time, you can tip more. If you had a bad experience, you can tip less. If you are unsure, you can ask the captain for advice.

Ways to tip:
If you forgot to bring cash, don’t worry. The captain can advise you of their Venmo, Cash App, ApplePay, etc.

No rain cancellations
We DO NOT cancel boat tours for rain. However, you should expect that there is a possibility that you may get wet.

Avoiding the rain
Our captains do everything possible to avoid weather while out on the water.

Weather delays
Weather changes rapidly, and storms typically blow through in minutes, not hours. This means trips may be delayed for a few minutes to let the weather pass, or we may change the destination to avoid weather.

Lightning cancellations
Lightning is very dangerous. We do NOT run during lightning storms. We will cancel, reschedule, or delay tours when there is lightning in the area.

30-minute delay after lightning
Our lightning policy is to shelter in place for 30 minutes after lightning occurs in the area.
