For the mermaid may piece i would spend more time refining the proportion the boat or personally if i was you i would dish the idea(of adding a boat) personally i think it ambious of you unless you take some way to metigate the work load.
As for the pirate i think you could push the design more it look just to generic like some party costume pirate set.I understand the difficulty is to make the pirate visible but that gonna come at a cost.
One challenge you will have to deal with if you go with a boat that i think will be also challenging is all the overlap of the sail and the extreme foreshorten ship aswell as the fact it behind a wave at a step angle and also mentioning the water... the moon is visible and there is no cloud out why is it the sea so chaotic ?This would only be the case if it was very windy.If that the case your wave would somewhat follow the direction of the wind and the current but also it would be possible if it was a reef which would be extremely dangerous to approch under such a sea condition.Instead of making the sea insane i would play more on heavy rain for the mood and remove the open sky.This way you can get away with more since you will have more dark and very little shadow to deal with.The weather is a big thing in this piece and the time of the day also because if you put a moon you get reflection now to deal with.
The size of the ship depend on the number of crew member and other factor.Right now the front suggest it a large ship if we compare it scale to the pirate.
I added a few different lugger type boat because they seem to be the smaller range of pirate ship.I would reference those ship and have alot of reference because they are not easy subject matter.
Overall this your most extreme challenge so far.I think just rendering the wave and the mermaid would already be a challenge on it own.Maybe i am wrong and under estimating you but i think you should consider taking something lighter if you felt burn out recently make it easier.
I know that my critic are pushing you but i want to give you the chance to breath every project doesn't have to be better then the next.
