Who is at fault?

All trip boat skippers need to be psychic by the sound of it ..... :encouragement:

Yeah.

well I think the trip boat guy was being a dick and should have stayed clear until it was obvious you were moored or almost moored. Just plain common sense and courtesy. Sounds as if he was'nt exercising his full quota of senses.

Which leads me to consider your fellow commercial skipper should have been prepared for a stupid WAFI do something "odd" and waited until he was actually putting ropes ashore?

He's not my fellow commercial skipper, from what I can gather he is a small boat skipper.standards are very low, in some parts of the country. some skippers of small passenger boats have limited experience and training.
Sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder regarding commercial skippers in general.
