One of my overseas business partners loves boating/yachting to a degree I cannot even describe as obsessive. His birthday is coming up and as a partial gag joke I want to get him some gifts, what would you guys get a pirate ?

    A jug of rum. And a peg leg.

    You could get a brass ship's bell, if you found the right website. Or a so-so quality "Pirate's cutlass" from a site like Atlanta Cutlery/Museum replicas limited or BudK

    How about an eye patch from a medical supply store? Or a bottle of captain morgan's private reserve? DVD copy of Captain Blood with Errol Flynn?

    Any number of costume companies have pirate hats of varying quality and style.

    There was a promo for some pirate game a while ago that sent out half a yo-yo, some Ho-Hos, and a miniature bottle of rum.

    seriously, though. A peg leg and a saw would be pretty funny.

    Give him a pair of pants with a steering wheel super-glued to the crotch. He's then justified in making jokes involving the punchline "arr, it's driving me nuts!" whenever he wants.

    It was Pirates of the Burning Sea. Although apparently it was a whole yo-yo.

    Unfortunately, western cultures frown upon arranged marriages, so the vast majority of people have to take risks in order to get into relationships.

    A crew strong and true to help him sail the oceans blue.

    I alike the rum and jug idea. Maybe you can find an old timey one and just put something relatively cheap in it.
