Qualities that must be had to be a ship captain

The authority of a captain is limited only by a sense of morality and the laws of physics.

They tend to be entrepreneurial individuals: which means they are adventurous, ambitious, assertive, outgoing, energetic, enthusiastic, self-confident and optimistic.

They are dominant, persuasive and motivating: some of them are also realistic, which means they are independent, stable, persistent, genuine, practical and thrifty.

They should keep in mind that the territory of the ship: it can vary from traveling at sea, traveling by rivers or navigating several other waterways between ports. Due to the nature of sea travel, a captain's stay at his workplace may be a daily excursion, or it may last several weeks to months.

In order to be a captain, it is essential to speak other languages: since, people from many countries and different continents travel on the cruise ships, and it is necessary for him to have assertive communication with all crew members.
