New Cruise!

A Somalia cruise package that departs from Sawakin (in the Sudan ) and docks at Bagamoya (in Tanzania ).
The cost is a bit high but it seems well worth it. What I found encouraging and enlightening is that the cruise line is encouraging people to bring their own highpowered weapons along.

If you don't have weapons you can rent them right there on the boat.
They claim to have a master gunsmith on board and will have reloading parties every afternoon.

The cruise lasts from 4-8 days. All the boat does is sail up and down the coast of Somalia waiting to get hijacked by pirates.
Here are some of the costs and claims associated with the package:

$800.00 US/per day per person, double occupancy (4 day minimum)
M-16 full automatic: rental $25.00/day with ammo at 100 rounds of 5.56 armor-piercing for $15.95
AK-47 rifle: no charge. Ammo at 100 rounds of 7.62 com bloc ball ammo for $14.95 Barrett M-107 .50 cal sniper rifle: rental $55.00/ day. Ammo at 25 rounds of 50 BMG armor piercing at $19.95.
Crew members can double as spotters for $30.00 per hour (spotting scope included). They even offer RPG's at $75 bucks and $200 for 3 standard loads.
Mounted mini-gun available @ $450.00 per 30 seconds of sustained fire.
Free complimentary night vision equipment.
Meals are not included but seem reasonable. Coffee and snacks on the Top deck from 7pm-6am They offer group rates and corporate discounts, and even offer a Partial money back guarantee if not satisfied.


Text from the ad:

"We guarantee that you will experience at least two hijacking attempts by pirates or we will refund half your money including gun rental charges and any unused ammo (mini gun charges not included). How can we guarantee you will experience a hijacking? We operate at 5 knots within 12 miles of the coast of Somalia . If an attempted hijacking does not occur we will turn the boat around and cruise by at 4 knots."

"We will repeat this for up to 8 days making three passes a day along the entire length of Somalia . At night the boat is fully lit and bottle rockets are shot off at intervals and loud disco music beamed shore side to
attract attention. Cabin space is limited so respond quickly.

Reserve your package before April 29 and get 100 rounds of free tracer ammo in the caliber of your choice."

"FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!!" ---- Stan, Denver , CO USA

"I got three confirmed kills on my last trip. I'LL never hunt big game in Africa again." ---- Lars , Hamburg, Germany

"Six attacks in 4 days was more than I expected. I bagged three Pirates and my 12 yr old son sank two rowboats with the minigun. PIRATES 0, PASSENGERS 32! Well worth the trip. Just make sure your spotter speaks English." -----
Ned, Salt Lake City, Utah USA

"I haven't had this much fun since flying choppers in NAM . Don't Worry about getting shot by pirates as they never even got close to the ship with those weapons they use, and their crappy aim reminds me of a drunken
'juicer' door-gunner we picked up from the motor pool back in Nam ."
----"Chopper" Dan, Toledo , Ohio USA .

"Like ducks in a barrel. They turned the ship around and we saw them bleed and cry in the water like little girls. Saw one wounded pirate eaten by sharks--what a laugh riot!! This is a must do." ---Zeke, Minnahaw Springs, Kentucky
