How much should you tip a yacht crew in Greece?

Short answer

5–10% of the charter fee

5–10% of the charter price, split among the crew.

CommonCash preferred

On a crewed yacht or catamaran charter, 5–10% of the base charter fee at the end of the week is the widely used range in the Greek islands, handed to the skipper to share with the crew. On a bareboat charter there is no crew to tip. For a day boat trip, €5–10 per person to the skipper is plenty.

In practice

  • A €6,000 week-long crewed charter → €300–600 for the crew
