I have just seen this http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=282384 thread and it got me thinking.
A couple of things that I think would make Lanun more unique without overpowering them
1. Allow there cultural boarders to expand at a faster rate over sea/ocean tiles than on land tiles. This may lead to unequal boarder sizes (land vs ocean) but would certainly fit Lanun's Seafaring theme
2. This in turn could work with a unique resource that is only in Ocean tiles (Giant Squid ?) that the lanun could harvest, but would not effect any other civs as there cultural boarders would not reach far enough into the ocean to be able to use this resource (or at least not until much later)
Pearl should probably be made available at some point to all civs, to avoid the problems mentioned in the thread linked above
