I don't understand your reasoning. Why should a company which is not your employer give you any fringe benefits at all? You seem to think you deserve something for nothing. You don't. OTOH, many charter boats will try to encourage instructors to use them for check out dives by doing two things - giving you a free ride and discounting your students. You are owed nothing. You do have the option of shopping around for charters that encourage you to bring them business. There are boats in your area that do encourage you to bring them business in just such a manner.
