20% for charters is the going rate. If service is absolutely amazing I’ve done 25%.
Open boat trip really depends. A good starting place is 15%. Then again I have had regulars throw me 40% while working deck if they had a great day. Not really expected or the norm, but it’s much appreciated...
Where’s the evidence for the other side of the coin?
You’re quick to bring up narrative. So let’s start there. Obviously a certain group wants green energy. Did they put the work in and do the research or just start construction because it “fits the narrative”.
Obviously whales are dying...
I’ve said this plenty of times.
Yes it’s the boats, but it’s also the local mom & pop bait shops, marinas, delis, gas stations, etc etc etc. The economic impact of losing PB/charter boat to the immediate community is much larger then the obvious.
I’ve seen both sides of the regulation coin...
Oh the irony.
A byproduct of the gas & oil industry is being used as lubricant on something made to generate green energy. I also bet it was delivered and assembled on vessels that use internal combustion engines.
Some possibly. Others definitely not.
I can only speak for the boats I know and they aren’t breaking laws.
Kind of crazy that one or two fish species are literally keeping an industry going for most of the season.
There’s a lot of PB guys waiting to hear about the Porgy situation. If any drastic changes are made you can bet you’ll start seeing people closing up shop.
