A mandatory 20% Service Fee is added to the booking price. For cruises, it covers fuel, docking and all applicable taxes, including applicable California taxes. For dockside rentals, it covers docking and all applicable taxes only; no fuel charge applies because the yacht remains at the dock. This is Full Circle Yacht's service charge, not a 20% California tax rate and not a gratuity.
Gratuity for the captain and crew is entirely optional and left to each guest's discretion. Guests who choose to tip typically give 5% to 15%; this is guidance only, not a minimum or required charge. Guests may tip any amount or leave no tip. For dockside bookings, optional gratuity is for the attending staff; no captain is provided.
Private harbor charters are available for birthdays, anniversaries, graduation parties, rehearsal dinners, family celebrations, business lunches, and corporate events.
