For a superyacht to become the target of robbers is not a remote possibility. Instead, there are incidents, not widely known for obvious reasons, during which well-organized robberies took place, even when underway, with pieces of art and jewelry worth of million vanishing within minutes. Yes, it does happen because a superyacht is a lucrative target for robbers/thieves/criminal. Moreover, an attempt of abduction of a high profile guest shouldn’t be ruled out.
The web plays its role in such incidents as an unintentional source of information for the thugs who nowadays monitor their unsuspected targets more easily than in the past.
This is the reason why most superyacht owners take security seriously, and invest heavily in security systems to protect their vessels, their guests and their valuables either when alongside or anchored / underway.
