If you're going for a Vineyards strategy it may be better to open Remake to both trim your deck by trashing Coppers and gain 3 Great Halls through trashing Estates.
I would be wary of Transmute here since Duchies, Transmutes or Golds aren't going to do much for you.
If you keep it simple with Apothecaries, Bazaars and other useful cards like Great Hall and Woodcutter he will run out of Pirate Ship fodder pretty fast.
