I, too, was thinking, surround the boat, have two or three snipers per pirate, all with ear pieces and have one order sound “fire”. Wipe out pirates, save the captain.
But the lifeboat is a pod. It is covered and the pirates are not exposed.
Also, the sea isn’t a flat stable surface. Even our snipers would be challenged.

We don’t know what the sea conditions are where this is taking place.
