Yeah. But if its crazy but it works then its not crazy. Having said that there is no fucking way I would board the fail barge there.
If it's stupid but it works, it's still stupid, and you're lucky.

Right, each time I see this picture pop up, it's like the words barge and dredging don't exist. Like this thing is seen as some damn cast away raft or some shit. This is fine. It's just different.
I'm familiar with both of those words. Ok also familiar with the idea of a lever-arm, and this one is too long for my sense of safety.

Cruises would be pretty interesting if once out at sea they released 30 wild boar.
What about 50 of them? Or perhaps some number between those two numbers, inclusively?
-
Apart from the terrible environmental effects, they're a blast. I'm not in for slides and shit, but the full experience is generally really enjoyable. If you like to travel, it's also a good way to trial destinations before committing to a long vacation somewhere.
I'd be concerned about the tusks, myself

I can't imagine OSHA would approve this
One has to wonder. They have the equipment, someone saw fit to buy and and then use it.

Depends, are the passengers permitted to bring assault-style rifles with high-capacity magazines?

Well, it did until it didn't
Trick is to finish the job before it starts didn't-ing

I cannot for the life of me understand how someone could willingly boars one of those monstrosities
It's not just willingly, people pay an exorbitant amount for the "privilege"...

That's cool as hell and I'd love to get on it tbh.

That looks to me like a drawing by the design/architecture team, but there is a real boat like that and it's a pretty close match for the design. Here's a video with drone footage from the launch; 1:39 you can see a view kinda similar to the drawing.

Most of the weight is at the bottom and you have to have the center of mass go outside of the base to tip over.

It ain't stupid if it works

The OP is "just" reckless overconfidence. This is defiance against god.

In the sense that something designed to carry 8,000lbs can probably actually handle 10,000lbs? Or in the sense that if they both died insurance would still pay out?
The floats are EZDocks, each with a carrying capacity of 3,000lbs, total capacity is 12,000lbs.
The lift is a JLG 3246es, which has a weight of less than 5,000lbs.

Given that's now my field, why haven't I started that comm?! I'll get on it.
Link it when you've made it

Okay, you go on and test it for us then

I have done way sketchier shit than that. That is like a 4/10.

It just isn't worth the risk. A scaffold could be built in ~30 minutes ( an hour tops) with almost no risk at all. I've worked at a facility with many tanks of water over 90k gallons each and we never would have pulled a stunt like that. Most had a permanent catwalk to service utilities above like lighting and plumbing.

Trial what destinations exactly? Arrive at Island port. Hecklers everywhere. Arrive at next Island. More hecklers. Rinse and repeat.
"Damn, I had a blast!"
I'm telling you, a Euro-trip on rail will net you more adventure and better pacing with vastly more interesting destination. Possibly even comfort, if you take sleeper trains.
I'm hoping they'll ban these cruise ships from the Mediterranean altogether.
