CNN (UK) - Wealthy arm their yachts with military-level security
According to a recent article published by CNN UK "The world's richest people are spending millions arming their super-yachts with military-style technology and trained personnel to fight off potential attackers."
The threat of pirates and growing fears that yachts may be their next target have led many owners to equip their vessels with the latest James Bond-like technology.
Hidden chambers, escape pods, tracking devices and ex-marines employed as security guards have all risen in popularity.
"It is only a matter of time before pirates move from cargo ships to attacking super-yachts cruising near Somalia," Michael Howorth, former super-yacht captain and technical editor at SuperYachtWorld magazine, told CNN.
The article also reported that "Fraser Yachts, a Monaco-based yacht-chartering company, has submarines available for clients who charter super-yachts. Fraser Yachts would not confirm whether these submarines double as escape pods for some clients."
