That was my thought. Are they too stupid to use a GPS????
They are going to look up in a day or two and see three or four huge gray ships looking down on them.
Are you ready for the stereotype?? The lifeboat has excess buoyancy, in other words if you fill it full of water it would not sink. So forget about sinking it. Put a few very small shape charges on its hull and blow it into several pieces.
Black people don't swim. This is true for the vast majority of blacks. A few seals just under the water could help them descend into the depths. Scuttle it and pull the bad guys down. If the mother ships get anywhere close to this action sink them. It's time to make a statement that even the ignorant muslims can understand.

Here are some pictures of the lifeboat model that's being used by the pirates....

.6 a sea-anchor of adequate size fitted with a shock-resistant hawser .
.7 two efficient painters (i.e. ropes) of a length equal to not less than twice the distance from the stowage position of the lifeboat to the waterline in the lightest seagoing condition or 15 m, whichever is the greater. placed at the forward end of the lifeboat and the other shall be firmly secured at or near the bow of the lifeboat ready for use;
.8 two hatchets, one at each end of the lifeboat; (these are used to cut the painters)

.10 a rustproof dipper with lanyard;
.11 a rustproof graduated drinking vessel;
.12 a food ration totalling not less than 10,000 kJ for each person the lifeboat is permitted to accommodate; these rations shall be kept in airtight packaging and be stowed in a watertight container;
.13 parachute flares complying with the requirements of section 3.1;
.14 hand flares
.15 two buoyant smoke signals complying with the requirements of section 3.3;
.16 one waterproof electric torch suitable for Morse signalling together with one spare set of batteries and one spare bulb in a waterproof container;

.18 one copy of the life-saving signals prescribed by regulation V/16 on a waterproof card or in a waterproof container;
.19 one whistle or equivalent sound signal;
.20 a first-aid outfit in a waterproof case capable of being closed tightly after use;
.21 anti-seasickness medicine sufficient for at least 48 h and one seasickness bag for each person;
.22 a jack-knife, to be kept attached to the boat by a lanyard;
.23 three tin-openers;

.27 sufficient tools for minor adjustments to the engine and its accessories;
.28 portable fire-extinguishing equipment of an approved type suitable for extinguishing oil fires;
.29 a searchlight with a horizontal and vertical sector of at least 6° and a measured luminous intensity of 2,500 cd which can work continuously for not less than 3 h;
.30 an efficient radar reflector, unless a survival craft radar transponder is stowed in the lifeboat;
.31 thermal protective aids complying with the requirements of section 2.5 sufficient for 10% of the number of persons the lifeboat is permitted to accommodate or two, whichever is the greater
