Wouldn't the River Pirates in Pirates of the Vistula qualify? They were more than pirates, as they did attack villages close to the river, so they ought to be in that category of seaborne marauder. Incidentally, the buccaneers in the 1600s were more of this type than pirate, as they preferred raiding coastal (and some not so coastal) Spanish settlements, with ships being hit if the opportunity presented itself. A lot of them were technically privateers, not pirates, but that distinction was lost on their hapless victims.
