To The Point News - THE ULTIMATE ADVENTURE CRUISE

Quote:

To The Point is excited to offer the ultimate adventure cruise along the pirate-infested coast of Somalia!

We board our luxury cruise ship in Djibouti on the Gulf of Aden near the entrance to the Red Sea, and disembark in Mombassa, Kenya seven adrenaline-charged days later.

Starting at $5,200 per-person (double occupancy, inside room) and $6,900 (veranda complete with bench rest), you'll relax like never before.

That's because you are welcome to bring your own arsenal with you. If you don't have your own weapons, you can rent them from our onboard Master Gunsmith. Enjoy reloading parties every afternoon with skeet and marksmanship competitions every night!

But the best fun of all, of course, is Pirate Target Practice.

For the object of the cruise is to sail up and down the Somali Coast waiting to get hijacked by pirates. The weapons rental costs are as follows.

(See the link for more)

Would any of you seriously be interested in something like this?

Now this is hilarious!
And, no. I wouldn't be interested in it.

too expensive, but if it were free, hell yeah I'd go on a pirate hunting trip!

If people are going to pay to get rid of a problem for us, I have no objection. As long as they agree that nobody else has to pay their ransom if they get caught.

I would be very worried about the guy one cabin over who rented the RPG.

Otherwise it looks like a good time.

Murder vacations!

The next step is hunting Jean Claude Van Damme through the streets of New Orleans. Let's all kill for thrills!

Gotta be fake. There's no way they can make a profit selling ammo that far below cost.

Is it still against the law to kill pirates in self defense even if the reason you are on the boat is to kill pirates?

Fire · 06-10-2009, 09:37 PM

fuck that is awesome.... If I had the money, I would think about it...... Seriously, piracy is a problem, and this looks like an elegant way to help solve it.......likely a fake though.....right, looking at the link, definite fake.... shame though, It seems a good idea, and BTW, to some of you other posters, how the fuck is it murder if the freaking pirates attack you????

It's self defense murder.

Sure, it's better than shooting a child on the playground, but some would still frown upon it.
