Eren hasn't spent a lot of time on boats, really, so he might not be prepared for this one, the way the boat rocks and all. Don't worry, no seasickness here, just an adjustment period on sea legs!
He almost didn't wear the provided pirate clothes because he has no idea what pirates even are or what the clothes are for. But ugh, fine, costume it is. (He ditches the eyepatch right away, because he's pretty sure that it would not be appreciated by the two people he knows who can't magically regrow eyes, and anyway he might freak himself out wearing it and no one needs that just pretend it's gone in all these cool pirate icons.)
Ultimately he's also not sure why he can't just punch holes in these ships as a titan (maybe the water is too deep for that?) but again, he goes along with it. The pay will be fine if they sink more than one. Anyway, his inherent desire to win is still there somewhere. Beating these ships is doing that, isn't it? Destroy enemies? He can do that all day.
There's not really a ship captain on this quest. It's a work together type thing. But Eren more easily defaults to not issuing orders. What does he know about ships? At least cannons are familiar.
At one point, he might say, "What's even on that ship? It looks empty but it's still moving." (He missed the ghost ship memo, possibly.)
At another, he might say, "What the hell are those things?" in regards to octopus pirates. He sort of knows what an octopus is, but this is weird. Maybe as weird as Folkmore was. Or just…differently weird? He's staring instead of shooting the cannon, whoops. Or he is firing cannons! Whatever.
Or if you're feeling spicy, maybe one of the crews boards their ship and there's a sword fight. Eren knows how to fight with a sword but also, fuck that, guns exist. He has a regular modern style handgun that now fires magic bullets (or regular ones if he runs out of those). In a scrape, he might choose that instead of a sword. But if the ghosts board the ship…what now?
