They're not very large boats and the armour may hamper a leap onto their boats
Viconia does Cure Disease on Skye, then (she wears Girdle of Giant Strength) hurls Lord Raptor onto another boat. He lands quite well, splitting a pirate's head in two on the way down. He LOVES killing pirates. He even did that two-scimitar pirate leader back near Spellhold
