Somali Coastal Adventure Cruise
Cruise Tickets for Sale --- Only for the true adventurer -
I found a Somali cruise package that departs from Sawakin (in the Sudan )and docks at Bagamoya (in Tanzania ). The cost is a bit high @ US$800 perperson, per day, double occupancy, but I didn't find that offensive. What I found enticing is that the cruise company is encouraging people to bring their own 'High powered weapons' along on the cruise.
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 and nights and costs a maximum of $3200 per person double occupancy (4 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 double occupancy (4 day max billing)
M-16 full auto rental $ 25.00/day including 3, 30 round magazines.
Ammo, 100 rounds of 5.56, armor piercing, $15.95.

Meals are not included but seem reasonable. Most cruises offer a mini-bar... these gung ho entrepreneurs offer.......... get this..... a deck mounted Dillon 7.62 x 51 cal minigun available for $450.00 per 30 seconds of sustained fire!

"Six attacks in 4 days was more than I expected. I bagged three pirates and my 12 year 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 shitty aim--reminds me of a drunken 'juicer' door gunner we picked up from the motor pool back in Nam" ----"chopper' Dan, Toledo 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 USA
