How much do you tip on a yacht charter in Europe, Mediterranean, Caribbean and the USA?

The worldwide yachting association MYBA suggests a tip of 5 – 15% (with 10% being standard) of the base week-long yacht charter cost. This tip should be collected together by the guests and then given to the captain, who will distribute it evenly amongst all crew members: Some of whom are less visible than others but work just as hard to ensure that your charter is a success.

Larger tips are often given in the Caribbean and Bahamas compared to Europe and the Mediterranean, which can be attributed to the festive season
