It depends on your needs and the crew's attentiveness and service provided. Most I have been on have a jar and the crew shares tips. I would do a minimum of 10% of the cruise price and more if you felt you had exceptional service. I have seen some tip nothing and others tip very generously, especially if a lot of alcohol is provided. If you happen to be on a smaller boat and the crew is the owner(s), I would still follow the same as I stated above but hand it directly to them as they may not provide a "tip jar".

Gee Scuba, I don't think that's very helpful. The original poster is looking for some kind of a benchmark about what most people do.

Perhaps he has crewed on a boat that did day cruises? Most of us haven't and would have no idea what to expect with regard to a gratuity.

You don't think there is a "benchmark" for restaurant tipping? It is odd then that some restaurants actually put 3 different tipping percentages on the bill/check if there is no "benchmark" or guideline.
I am guessing the original poster has perhaps never been on a day cruise before and was looking for a specific suggestion.
