Wealthy punters pay £3,500 (US$5,800) per day to patrol the most dangerous waters in the world hoping to be attacked by raiders.
When attacked, they retaliate with grenade launchers, machine guns and rocket launchers, reports Austrian business paper Wirtschaftsblatt.
Passengers, who can pay an extra £5 a day for an AK-47 machine gun and £7 for 100 rounds of ammo, are also protected by a squad of ex special forces troops.
While I've no sympathy for pirates getting whacked in work related "incidents", including the wrold's Navies hunting them down, I don't like the idea of peaople paying thousands of dollars for the opportunity to kill them.
