How much do you tip crew and captain on a yacht charter?

Based on a week-long luxury yacht charter, the worldwide yachting association MYBA recommends a tip of between 5 – 15% of the base charter cost, with 10% being the standard. The tip is typically collected amongst guests and given to the captain, who will distribute the tip evenly between visible crew members such as instructors and stewardesses, and also less visible crew members such as engineers.
