Saba Rock free ferry- Tip or not? - 06/12/2017 08:46 PM
The subject says it all... This is our first land-based BVI trip and we just took the Saba Rock ferry from BEYC for Saba Rock happy hour... should I tip the ferry skipper?
Thanks!

It's a pretty short trip. I'd probably give him $5 for a small group or maybe $10 if I had a large obnoxious group I was herding around... It's probably not considered required, but I would give a small gesture.

Very short trip- probably less than 5 minutes. It was just the two of us, we will tip him on the way back...

tip each way, could be a different driver, also they are providing a free service it's the right thing to do

We always tip the boat skipper each way. $5 usually but have done more for some who have provided entertainment as well as transportation.
