Should you tip the mate at the gas docks at marinas? If so, what is the appropriate amount to tip? Just wondering some of the dock workers are very helpful in tieing up at the dock. My friend and I disagree on this subject and was just wondering what everyone else did.

I think you should tip attendants/mates/valets and the like all the time. $2-5 depending how helpful...

Tipping for Service

I agree you should tip them a few dollars, if they provide the full service you deserve. IE when I go to Blue Water for fuel the service is excellent.

If they just hand you the hose and walk away that is no reason for a tip.

I always tip the fuel dock people, double it if i pump out.

I tip a couple of dollars. It's pretty hot during the summer and sometimes the guys/gals/kids working the docks are working pretty hard.

I usually tip my dock mate a couple of bucks if they assist in tying
my boat up to fuel and at least offer other services..Sometimes if
I got saly spray on my windshield they take the hose and squrit it off.
So I say tip`em, it won`t hurt..
