Luxury yachts offer pirate hunting cruises

Luxury ocean liners in Russia are offering pirate hunting cruises aboard armed private yachts off the Somali coast.

Wealthy punters pay £3,500 per day to patrol the most dangerous waters in the world hoping to be attacked by raiders.

When attacked, they retaliate with grenade launchers, machine guns and rocket launchers, reports Austrian business paper Wirtschaftsblatt.

Passengers, who can pay an extra £5 a day for an AK-47 machine gun and £7 for 100 rounds of ammo, are also protected by a squad of ex special forces troops.

The yachts travel from Djibouti in Somalia to Mombasa in Kenya.

The ships deliberately cruise close to the coast at a speed of just five nautical miles in an attempt to attract the interest of pirates.

"They are worse than the pirates," said Russian yachtsman Vladimir Mironov. "At least the pirates have the decency to take hostages, these people are just paying to commit murder," he continued.

This is as good of an idea as marrying OJ Simpson.

Wow. What morons.

Sounds like fun to me...

It's going to end horribly.

Just because it's a bad idea doesn't mean it couldn't be fun.

Oh yea, it's going to fail on a massive scale. It's going to fail so hard, 4Chan and Anon will be thinking; "Why the fuck didn't we think of this?"

[The Imperial Navy]

Sounds like poetic justice to me. The hunters become the hunted.

The aim I would assume is to give these people some sort of thrill by being in a fight for their lives so I hardly see how it could fail. Unless they don't get attacked or the pirates just invite them over for tea and scones

Umm, these are people who are not trained to handle an AK-47, grenade launchers or rocket launchers.

How well do you think this is going to turn out?

[Galloism]

You know, this is a horribly bad idea that will just end in disaster.

That being said, I wanna go.....

They're not? Where does it say that?

That's why I'm taking up a collection to go on one of these cruises...

So who's willing to pony up some cash?

Pirates are also not trained to use any kind of weapon, and the cruisers have ex-special forces guys protecting them.

I think they'll be just fine

Hunting the deadliest game, eh? Not really my cup of tea.

Exactly. It's just rich assholes who want to kill people, as the article says.

This is as good of an idea as having a week long camping trip in the Afghan mountains that borders Pakistan.

Nah, those jihadists know how to use a gun. Somali pirates don't.

[United Dependencies]

What if the people are lousy shots or have never handled guns before. This will most definitly end badly.

[Lizardiar]

Just £5 for an AK? I would go just to buy that.

[Grave_n_idle]

Just £5 for an AK? I would go just to buy that.

I suspect it's less of 'buying' and more 'a rental'.

[Yootopia]

You could probably buy one in Mogadishu for the same price and get to keep it. Getting it through customs, mind...

[UnhealthyTruthseeker]

Trying to purposely get attacked just so they have an excuse to kill people? Isn't that a sign of some underlying mental instability? These people shouldn't be indulged, they should be given help.

[Osgarna]

Yeah, but they have bloody ex-special forces guys with them. But why are the morons who sign up for this worth more than the pirates? Frankly, they're only pirates because the west has destroyed their fishing grounds. Normally, they don't kill people. Why do they deserve death? Wouldn't it be ending badly if they died too?
