The trick is to hit them going home from a raid. Whatever we capture is ours under the laws of the sea.
Wouldn't that make the entire point of hunting pirates for the shipping companies and cruise lines moot?.....

The Viking, nice idea. How about we also make a movie out of it, or perhaps even a TV series? Lots of money potential there!
We could even do a survivor type swimming competition with the pirates.
