Is it illegal if it's in international waters and the crew doesn't take posession of the boat (theft)?

I think the law of the mother country applies on the boat. i.e. a boat flying an english flag is subject to english law on the boat. If you have your own boat, fly a pirate flag instead (i.e. not a member of any country), then you can make your own rules. However other countries might sink you.
