The world's superyachts are getting bigger and bigger. Business is booming, the luxury yacht-industry says.

They get their tech somewhere else because it’s cheaper. All my company’s sales dropped internationally to a trickle, but my industry hasn’t “slowed” internationally.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I don't like to be too specific with what I do, I'll just say we're more Gucci than Garmin. Our products are "luxury" and apparently the competition isn't really competition.
But who knows, maybe there is another one out there that is gaining popularity. I don't really pay attention to that market other than what my job entails. Lord knows I can't afford even our cheapest product, not to mention I have no use for it lol

They all look so sinkable.

Naw, if it's some bespoke piece of gear that only goes in luxury boats and not, say, a container ship you would have heard of a market disruptor

But in reality these things have armor and bullet proof glass. Companies sell systems with disorienting light and sound, sonar and underwater surveillance, anti drone systems and also roaming drones. They're floating fortresses.
-
Just a thought experiment, how sink-proof are these things?
If someone were to build a homemade submarine with a drill, how many holes would one have to theoretically drill to make a yatch sink?
They have sonar, underwater surveillance drones and some even their own submarine. These guys spared no expense.

Is it your sincerely held belief that these super yachts are unsinkable?

It doesn't need to be. It just had to require material that's more expensive than even a rich angry person can afford.

I mean, if you want to waste a lot of time, energy, and money on petty acts of vandalism that won't really change anything, that's up to you.

Right. The gear just gets sourced elsewhere. Even if they go for “second best” because the best has too many US strings.

I mean, if you want to waste a lot of time and energy to discourage scrutiny and resistance to the antics of the ultra-wealthy, in order to prevent anything from changing, that's up to you.

If you think being petty on the internet is encouraging any kind of positive change, you're almost as deluded as the MAGA cult.

Settle down there, tone police. Sounds like you're trying to pacify the poors, to keep the billionaires safer.
They won't reward you for your efforts.

To be honest I don't think they're all tough as they sell them.
Look at the cyber truck, look at Russia's attempts to defend itself, he'll look at the US experience vs Guerrilla groups.
I don't think they're that great

Well, I dunno if I'd agree that it's booming just yet.
You know what they say, if there's a will, there's a dynamite

Sadly most of the great maritime powers have signed onto the 1856 Declaration of Paris where they agreed to give up privateering as a weapon of war. The United States has not signed on, but has also not issued a letter of marque since that period. During the civil war, the confederates experimented briefly with privateering, but the Union declared that it would not.
In 2025, The Cartel Marque and Reprisal Authorization Act of 2025 was introduced in Congress. This bill would authorize privateering against "cartels" (apparently any cartel, like OPEC or the American Medical Association).
Well, just Privateer for a non signing faction or nation then

They would make great coral reefs
