It has been 6 years since we have been back to the VI's. Lived in Australia the last 5 years. We have a couple of day sail/snorkel trips scheduled.
Tipping is not the norm in Australia, what is the acceptable rate on a charter these days in the VI's.

Are you actually doing a "private charter trip" or going just as a passenger(s) on a "group tour" day sail boat trip? If a group trip (say on a catamaran with 20+ pax), a tip of about $5US to $10US per person is given to the crew is adequate. If a private charter (say on a sailboat with 2 to 6 pax) a tip of 15% to 20% of the total charter price would be more appropriate - give a portion (say 1/3) to the Mate and the rest to the Captain.
