If you are the owner-operator of a charter yacht based in the UK, and a UK citizen yourself, specialising in cross-ocean, international trips, can you legally carry a firearm onboard?
(Providing you were licensed and the firearm was legal and it's safe was inspected).
I realise it's Hollywood but in all the films the Captain of any sized charter boat seems to have some sort of firearm stowed away- presuming you had a license, is there actually anything worong with this?
Thanks!

Why would you want to carry a firearm.
If you were attacked by pirates then you would need a small armoury to fight them off with. I know people that have been attacked and the pirates used assault rifles.
Plus as you enter another country there is a pile of paper work that you need to fill in. I have worked on private yachts that carry all the equipment for clay pigeon shooting but the guns were hired in what ever country we were in at the time.

I work on oceangoing merchant ships. It is generally illegal to carry firearms on any type of merchant ship, including private yachts, under any circumstances.
There are captains who keep a handgun in the ship's safe, but most realize that it's not wise to do so.
To carry firearms on a yacht might be considered arms smuggling, and would be dealt with accordingly.
