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.

Don't miss the boat
limited time offer


The boat departs from Mombasa (Kenya) and docks at Djibouti harbor (in Djibouti). Cabin space is limited so respond quickly. Reserve your package before June 29 and get 100 rounds of free tracer ammo in the caliber of your choice.

Our 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.
You can opt for a mounted mini-gun or RPG instead of an AK-47 or M-16. I suspect there is a market for this kind of thing -- didn't one of you have a friend cruising the Caribbean with an arms locker that needed regular replenishing?

#6  "wipe them out where they live"

In the ensuing "Beach Party" portion of the cruise, you might be able to 're-capture' some of the miscreants' ill-gotten gains, reducing your initial vacation investment.

#4  I'd MUCH prefer a C-130 and a quad-mount gattling gun. Attack them at sea, follow them home, and wipe them out where they live.

#3  Trophy fees are outrageous and the mounts sub-par. Though the mounts do make for a unique conversation piece for the home or office.

#2  Adventure is described as hard times happening to strangers far away.
