I read "opportunistic pirate" as a regular unarmed person who might just be tempted to steal stuff from a seemingly unguarded ship.


That might be it. Tbf I don't know much about modern piracy. I just imagine guys with AKs and RPGs coming up and boarding you, but that could easily be a media depiction only.


I don't think those guys are taking single people in small boats. They want $5M insurance payouts from corporations, not killing random people for their clothes.
