Luxury Yacht Company Offers Pirate-Hunting Cruises
Weird News
62 CommentsPassengers on a new cruise along the coast of Somalia are paying to catch more than just salmonella.

A Russian luxury yacht company is now offering pirate-hunting trips that promise the chance to be attacked by real sea bandits. The yachts cruise from Djibouti to Mombasa in Kenya at deliberately low speeds in the hopes of attracting pirates.

Passengers pay $5,000 for the trip, and an extra $17.50 a day for an AK-47 and 100 rounds of ammo. The price includes free origami towels in the rooms. Former Special Forces troops are on board to make sure none of the cruise passengers are injured.

The problem is that it will inevitably lead to some yutz killing a somali fisherman.

Stupid idea capitalizing on a dire situation.

poor form russia, but i think it's expected of them at this point.
