Definitely want everyone present who might have a say in the matter. But rather than handing him over to the highest-ranking, it seems more pirate-y to make it an auction-- whichever pirate lord is willing to pay more gets to keep him. (I'm not trying to break the wealth-by-level, we could put it toward ship upgrades or something.)
That might be a little too much like slave-dealing for a cleric of Cayden Cailean, whereas handing him over to the highest-ranking one is "Make this the authorities' problem instead of mine."
I really want to use the captains' varying reputations as leverage, threatening to hand him over to Avimar Sorrinash if he is uncooperative. That might be a little on the not-so-Good side so maybe not do that. But the Eel poisoned the drink that Brother MacLaren was serving to his guests, and it's hard to think of a worse outrage.
I could probably agree to sparing his life if we can get access to Calcific Touch, Flesh to Stone, or Baleful Polymorph.

"I might ask the Master of Gales to turn him into... a box turtle, perhaps."
Lol! I don't know what it is about box turtles but it always seems like the go-to form with baleful polymorph-- most of my IRL friends use exactly that. "Ooo, baleful polymorph! Now you're a box turtle."
My wife played a druid for a while (in this campaign, as a matter of fact) and when she used that spell she made a point of choosing a different animal form every single time. Among other things, her choices included a raccoon, a squirrel, and a catfish.
