Rackats solution is to have the pirates basically as close as possible to each other and still be able to take thier positions/actions, overcoming the apparently very short offset.
Someone mentioned not getting crew chat when too far (on Black Pearl). This is a bug/glitch too, however it is not related to distance. I can be on crew, and on different islands far far away, and chat with crew. I have had open public chat not appear on pirates standing side by side.

What I am calling a glitch, is not what the developers fixed (by increasing the range when on a particular ship) but by having the captain oriented incorrectly to the steering wheel. That glitch is relatively new. It used to put you properly behind the wheel every time, no matter what.
On the Black Pearl, when I do right broadsides or open fire or take cover, the people on the front four cannons cannot hear me. (How ironic! The "open fire" command - can't be heard, haha! Yet still has effect!) That text is not, and should not be, crew messages - they are local messages only. And that, indeed, is tied to distance. I always thought that distance was the same as crew bonus distance, but who knows.
Now, the whole chat system has serious issues; far too many. Let's not even bring that up, here. Only talking about the distance (and why war galleons are better than war frigates.)
