Russians Offer Private Cruises to Hunt Somali Pirates

June 25, 2009 5 Comments

In Soviet Russia,  cruise ships hunt you!

Pirate hunting cruises along the African coast are being offered by private yachts in Russia. For a little over $5,000 per day customers can sail along the coast of Somalia at low speed to entice a pirate into attacking.

Former Russian Special Forces troops are on board to make sure no harm comes to the wealthy punters. If a pirate does take the bait, they are met with machine gun, rocket, and grenade fire. For an extra fee, customers can hire an AK-47 and join in.
