Tipping the crew is customary and should be based on service. The Bayrunner team captains spend long hours behind the scenes catching bait, making rigs, doing maintenance, and more to try and ensure you have a great experience. If the visible effort meets your satisfaction, then you may want to tip, as blaming the crew for a lack of fish would be like blaming your waiter for the cook’s job. The industry standard is 20%.
