What's not included in the listed rates?
- Crew gratuity - A customary crew gratuity is between 15-20% of the charter rate. The gratuity is based on service and at the charterer's discretion. The gratuity should be handed to the captain in cash at the end of the charter. It is also customary for the captain to then divide it equally between the crew. Be sure to plan this cost into your budget.
