Yes, there are still pirates in the Caribbean. I used to work on yachts and we had boarding drills. Pirates take over yachts, kill the crew and port the yacht somewhere. They unload all the valuables off the yacht then take it out and sink it. NO JOKE! There are actually companies that will train a crew how to defend the yacht. As our first mate used to always say, "people die at sea".

There was just a family of pirates on the show Wife Swap last night (Monday nite). They were hilarious. The husband writes pirate books and they all dress like pirates and they have friends that come over all dressing like pirates so the answer to your question is yes!
I believe that there are also real pirates that steal stuff on the oceans of the world which is scary business

There are some that patrol around the Caribbean stealing mostly private yachts and their belongings but most of today's pirates you'll find in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Off the east coast of Africa into the Red Sea and Persian Gulf there's lots and you'll also find quite a few off the Chinese, Laotian, Indonesian, Vietnamese and Korean coasts.

As a matter of fact yes there are, I just watched an episode of Wife Swap last night and this one family actually dresses up as pirates everyday and lives by the pirate motto.

there are somolians that attack cruise ships for money. These are considered modern day pirates now. they dont have a pirate ship but they are stealing and causing havok in their little 7 passenger boat.

Sure there are! In the past few years, there have been a couple instances...one I believe, they tried to rob a cruise ship.
For the most part, with radar, aircraft, etc., I don't think they can get away with it.
