We are going out with John Brandi for a boat day.
Can anyone tell me how much to tip?
Please PM me.
Thanks

I would recommend that you tip him $500 and attach a note that says "payment for XIG and Chip Boat day 2012"

We've never done a boat tour from STJ...but, in the past on boat tours we've taken in the Caribbean, we were instructed to tip the crew only.
My question is: A) Does John Brandi have a crew? And B) Since John Brandi is the Owner, and we pay him a fee for the trip, and we top the gas off after coming back to STJ, and we bring our own food/drinks. Do others tip him?
I guess I kind of liken it to not tipping your hairdresser if he/she
owns the salon.
Anyway, these are just questions and we'll follow proper protocol.

All kidding aside, we tip John.
He will do anything and everything to make sure you have a perfect day.
We buy him lunch, too.
I tip my hairdresser and he is the owner as well.
When you provide me with a service that has a value more than what I pay, I tip. Owner or not!
