their website:
Welcome to Somali Cruises
It's like a safari, only better
"Safari" is the Swahili word for adventure and that's just what we have in store for you.
We sail up and down the coast of Somalia waiting to get hijacked by pirates. We encourage you to bring your 'High powered weapons' along on the cruise. If you don't have weapons of your own, you can rent them on the boat.
There is even a guarantee:
We guarantee adventure
We guarantee that you will experience at least two hijacking attempts by pirates or we will refund half your money back, 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.
Prices are reasonable too -- only $800/day for basic accommodations and you can rent a Barrett M-107 .50 cal sniper rifle for $55.00/day with the Ammo at 25 rounds 50 cal armor piercing at $9.95.
