Depends on who owns the boat? Are they crew or owner/operators?

I usually take the crew out for a nice dinner at the end of the charter, they are the owners/operators also. 
 
  
Drink all day at home, your friends worry about you; do it on vacation and they say "what a good time you're having". Save your friends needless worry, travel more!

When booking (or likely just considering a booking) ASK question if it is not specifically addressed on their website.
