Fisheries and rollover in Guatemala

Tipping in Guatemala is not widely practiced – although it has become the norm in certain services, in particular – as you would expect – in any given directly to tourists and foreigners. We are often asked: “What is considered normal practice, when the overturning fishing”, to which we normally recommend that the tip of $ 125-175 per boat per day is probably average. The difference is that the ordinary, as a rule, be judged by – № 1, it is difficult to crew work for you? Were they look baits all the time? Was the crew of active management and troll fisheries difficult? Been carefully and ask how you would like to fish, not as they normally fish? – How big is the party of fishing – the tip of the above suggests, 4, so if more or less there is every reason to adjust – you were provided with snacks, food and drink, how and when do you want? Your needs have been anticipated? – Is the captain working hard to find fish? Was it successful?

Although the review does not necessarily reflect the number of fish caught, there is a correlation between a number of fish caught and the effort / work, if the output number of fish raised in efforts to Scout productive area and find what lures work in all cases, of course, tips discretion, and should reflect the level of service and satisfaction of the crew.

Those views that are usually only suggestions, and you should use them as landmarks. Remember also that there can be no substantial difference in expectations on the tip between “local” crews (quoted above) – and “Professional” or “International” Captain. ”

The premiere season in Guatemala is relatively short compared to many other purposes, and is therefore a “school of thought, which says that the captain and crew to squeeze profits in the short term – and so the average should be higher. We’ll leave that up to a single address.
