Tipping App for Boat Captains

You give them an unforgettable time on the water. Let passengers tip you right on deck — no cash, no hassle.

Why TipMe

Why TipMe
for Boat Captains?

Nobody brings loose cash on a boat charter. Passengers are in vacation mode with just their phone — TipMe makes tipping the captain as easy as any other phone interaction on the water.

Boat charter tipping is expected but rarely prepared for

Standard practice is to tip 15–20% of the charter fee, but most guests arrive without cash. TipMe fills this gap for every charter.

Captains are responsible for safety and experience

A boat captain handles navigation, safety, and guest experience simultaneously. Passengers who enjoy a great trip genuinely want to express that — TipMe makes it possible.

Marine environments are completely cash-free

On the water, nobody carries a wallet. A waterproof TipMe QR display at the helm or dock makes tipping possible in an environment where cash never existed.

How much should you tip a boat captain?

10–20% of the charter fee

Tip your boat captain and crew 10–20% of the charter fee, given to the captain to split with the mates. Lean toward 20% for a hardworking crew on a fishing or sailing charter, and tip on the full rate even if you got a discount. Many charters now accept digital tips, so a QR code at the dock works when you're not carrying cash.
