How much should I tip the crew on an Italy yacht charter?

Crew gratuity is discretionary, but for Mediterranean yacht charters, many clients use 5% to 15% of the base charter fee as guidance, with 10% common for strong service.

The tip is paid at the end of the charter and distributed among the crew. It is separate from APA and VAT, and it should reflect the service you actually received.

We recommend budgeting for gratuity in advance so the final day feels easy. Your broker can confirm the normal range for the specific yacht, crew, and charter structure before you board.
