How much should I tip our skipper and the host?

Tipping is a common practice within the maritime industry. Sailweek does not set a specific tipping rate for skippers and hosts. The decision to tip these individuals is entirely at the discretion of the crew. If you believe that the skipper and host have provided exceptional service, you are welcome to show your appreciation by tipping them at your own discretion.
