Wishes cruise tip?

I am wondering about tipping the skipper/captain of the Wishes fireworks boat-- what is the "going rate" -- at least 15% of the cost??

When we did our Illuminations cruise, we had a kid who was in college as our skipper. He was great... informative, talkative, and funny. We tipped him $50 at the end of the evening.

We have a cruise scheduled for our trip next week... I'm planning on giving the captain a $50 tip (if he's good!)
