Summer Fun For The Whole Family.

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 per person double-occupancy but I didn't find that offensive.

What I found enticing is that the cruise company is encouraging

people to bring their '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 $300 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. 100 rounds of

7.62 armor piercing ammo at 15.95

 

AK-47 rifle @ No charge. 100 rounds of 7.62 com block ball

ammo at 14.95. (Cruise Special)

 

Barrett M-10 .50 cal sniper riffle rental 55.00/day. 25 rounds

of 50 cal armor piercing at 9.95. (What a deal! )

 

Crew members can double as spotters for 30.00 per hour (spotting

scope included).

 

They even offer RPG's at 75 bucks and 200 dollars for

3 standard loads "Everyone gets use of free complimentary night vision equipment and there's

coffee and snacks on the top deck from 7pm-6am."

 

Meals are not included but seem reasonable.

 

Most cruises offer a mini-bar... these are gung ho entrepreneurs

 

 

Sign my ars up!

 

They advertise group rates and corporate discounts......and even

claim "FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY". They even offer a partial money

back if not satisfied....here's some text from the ad.

 

"We guarantee that you will experience at least two hijacking

attempts by pirates or we will refund back 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 with loud disco music beamed

shore side to attract attention. Cabin space is limited so respond

quickly. Reserve your package before Feb 29 and get 100 rounds of

free tracer ammo in the caliber of your choice."

 

As if all that isn't enough to wet your appetite, here are a few

testimonials:

 

"I got three confirmed kills on my last trip.

I'll never hunt big game in Africa again. I felt like the Commandant in

Schindlers list!"

---- 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 shitty aim- It 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 riot!! This is a must do.

--- Zeke-Minnahaw Springs Kentucky USA
