As a thought on the subject I was at the book store the other day and saw a book titled the Vampirates-(nosferatu sail the seven seas lol)- more on the fantasy end here to say the least. I wouldn't read it even though I like vampires novels and Pirate stories as I just don't see it as a viable mix. The Kraken, Jolly Rogers, Davey Jones,undead Skeletons,and the like while fantasy are pirate related and work well in a pirate story in my opinion. What im trying to get at is fantasy is great and keeps your book from being a Master and Commander style story where you spend pages discussing the rigging of the ship. Just keep in mind that some things mix and some don't( pirates meet aliens at sea not happening/futuristic pirates with solar panel sails on intergalactic war frigates I can buy) and shoot for somewhere in the middle.
Just my .02
