Because he was the captain of the boat. Ship captains are called skippers because they skip from place to place across the water.

The title "Skipper" usually refers to someone who navigates a ship/boat (see resource below).

He was the captain/skipper of the SS Minnow, that's why.
He had a name - JONAS.
Everybody had a real name... even the Professor.
