[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Learn how to be a good skipper with these 5 tips from the best captains in the world. Want to be one of them?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There are many ways to become a captain<\/strong>. Some go to sailing school<\/a>, some do so by sailing yachts for others, and some become skippers<\/strong> when they retire and learn by sailing the open seas.<\/p>\n

However you get there, no two captains are the same. Each person has a different leadership style, way of managing the crew and dealing with problems that arise on board. But what traits should a good skipper have? Where should you stand out to become one of the best?<\/p>\n

How to be the best skipper<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Stay calm and, above all, never shout:<\/strong> a skipper that keeps a cool head in dangerous or difficult situations has already done a great deal. The crew will appreciate being led by a person who conveys confidence and calm. No one likes being yelled at; it\u2019s not the best way to work. So, take a deep breath\u2026 and sail away!<\/li>\n
  2. Communicate and do so clearly:<\/strong> Communication is key in management, above all if you\u2019re on board a boat. It is important that each crew member knows their role and what they should do at all times. In a crisis, you can\u2019t have misunderstandings due to poor communication. Take note!<\/li>\n
  3. Treat the crew with respect:<\/strong> on board a ship, the crew is your family. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to respect them as you would your loved ones at home. Measure your words; be tactful and caring.<\/li>\n
  4. Be decisive and firm:<\/strong> a skipper who hesitates or is indecisive doesn\u2019t inspire trust, and this can lead to a bad vibe within the team. So be firm in your decisions.<\/li>\n
  5. Be organised and timely:<\/strong> a good skipper has to know what is needed well in advance and communicate this to the crew. Documents, food, clothes\u2026 Don\u2019t leave anything to chance!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
