Quite, although there I'd be more forgiving, as people react to driving instructions from navigator's voice on a short notice. But to go out to the sea without proper navigation and other equipment is something that one only does after a conscious decision.
An example is a group of men who tried to get 1000 Facebook likes for a project of building a raft and crossing the Gulf of Finland, some 50 nautical miles, in order to buy cheap booze in Tallinn. They didn't get that many likes but decided to go anyway, and ended up in news.
A happy ending, because when their engine died, they were still within the reach of GSM network and could call for help. They were fined a ridiculous 35 euros total for this.
