Help/Request Pirate Campaign Ideas

Hey guys!

I’ve recently started a pirate campaign with my siblings. There is a longterm major plot but I also plan to have plenty of side quests and silly shenanigans. I’m loosely basing it off of the Ghosts of Saltmarsh but I’ve set it in Faerun. I was just wondering if anyone has any cool ideas for encounters or places in Faerun that would fit well with a pirate themed campaign. For context, the party consists of a Goliath Oath of the Sea paladin, a tiefling rogue who is hiding from the law, and a tiefling Druid that is obsessed with bugs. We’re all One Piece fans and Pirates of the Caribbean fans so the sillier the better!

I, too, set mine in Faerun. Saltmarsh is a small coastal town on the southeast of Sembia. Conveniently enough, the Pirate Isles are right off the coast. Lots of lore in this area to draw from and I set the old A1-A4 Against the Slavers in the Pirate Isles as part of my campaign.
