How one American entrepreneur spends his summers rescuing migrants from the Mediterranean sea (at a cost of $8MILLION)

  • Multi-millionaire businessman Christopher Catrambone and his family set up Migrant Offshore Aid Station in 2013
  • They have spent $8million of their own money on a former U.S. military training craft, drones and inflatable boats
  • The craft, named the Phoenix, has a crew of 17, including maritime officers, security experts, and qualified medics
  • Mr Catrambone and his wife, Regina, respond to distress calls and rescue migrants crossing from Africa to Europe
  • So far, they have saved the lives of more than 3,000 people - and are hoping to save thousands more this summer
  • Mr Catrambone, 31, who is worth over $10million, runs Tangiers Group, which provides insurance in conflict zones
