skippering
Commanding a boat
Skippering is acting as the captain of a boat or ship, from skipper.
The term applies broadly—from commanding a yacht in a race to steering a small fishing vessel: He spent the summer skippering charter boats in the Caribbean.
Extended to leading any team or enterprise: She's been skippering the project since January.
