Ananova – Luxury yachts offer pirate hunting cruises — Only the Russians would dream up something like this.
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.
I guess this takes elephant hunting to a different dimension.

I was afraid of that. Oh well, someone will probably do it.
If Wirtschaftsblatt reported it then it must be true.
Sounds like fun if you are in the Russian mafia.
Do they get to keep the heads and is there a taxidermist on board?
#12 Rich redneck mean your cousin owns a new double wide. So while they may be heavily armed and drunk I doubt they can afford the cruise. Hey wait a second NEW DOUBLE WIDE!!! That makes me the successful one in the family. Time to go pirate hunting.
It sounds like a fun time.
Why should the United States, France and England’s Military have all the fun hunting the Somali Pirates.
I just wish I had the money to play.
An awesome idea. We should try something similar on the Mexican border.
When western states are unable to do their job, private initiative has to come.Russia after defending communism, now show the way for capitalism, private intiative and free entreprise.
Good initiative.
It is morally a duty to enforce free navigation in international water and to cope with piracy.
It is nothing wrong to use those scum as target and hang them at the mast if captured.
Now, if you can mix that with a ship cruise holiday, it is perfect.
This isnt true…
The article is debunked on Snopes.com
