Among the uninformed, it would be Captain, as he is in command of the vessel.

Those who prefer to do it right will use Skipper, saving "Captain" for someone who has actually earned the credential from a recognized authority.

Then again, on my boat, it's usually just "Hey, you", or worse.

Calling out skipper is by far the easiest way of finding who is actually in charge of any given boat.
