The first mate on the Pole Position is a professional with 20 years of experience. When it comes to having a dinner cruise, he will tend to your party to make sure you are well taken care of. Depending on the type of trip you are reserving, the first mate may begin preparing up to two days in advance to make your trip an enjoyable one.
For all of the mate’s hard work during your trip, typically the mate is covered in a gratuity of 15-20% of the total price of the charter. This can be handled directly with the mate or can be included in the final payment.
The mates tip should be handled much like a server in a fine restaurant. If the service was great, please let it reflect in your tip.
