Activists from the environmental group Futuro Vegetal posted a video showing them standing in front of the superyacht named Kaos, holding a banner that says: “You Consume Others Suffer.” The activists then sprayed the vessel with red and black paint.

“The richest 1% of the world population pollutes more than the poorest 50%,” the activists said in the video.”They are condemning us to a future of pain, misery and desolation.”

They should do more than paint the thing. Give it a tour of the seabed.

Would have to remove all the oils and fuel and stuff before doing that.

I'd expect a boat like this to be staffed 24/7, in which case attempting to sink it would risk human lives.
