The teak finish that /u/Guygan recommends is a good option. We occasionally used Star Brite teak oil on some of our decking back when I was washing teak for a living.
You could also sand it down to bare wood and leave it unfinished. That is what I would do. FIL should give it a freshwater rinse after every trip and clean the teak occasionally (scrubbing across the grain) to keep it in good shape. You can go nuts with two-part cleaners, but I know professionals who use a light sprinkle of Cascade dishwashing powder and get results just as good.
No matter what, you should consult with FIL first. Classic boat owners can be mighty particular.
