Superyachts face a unique blend of global risks — from piracy in international waters to the quiet, predictable vulnerabilities of a berthed vessel. Our maritime details are trained in vessel defense, anti-boarding tactics, and open-ocean readiness, and they integrate with your crew rather than displacing it.
From the first risk assessment of a cruising itinerary to onboard security and helicopter transit coordination, we keep your maritime assets and guests secure across the voyage.
What's included
- Pre-voyage risk assessment — route review, port-by-port intelligence, and a physical survey of the vessel.
- Onboard security details — maritime-trained operatives who work seamlessly with the crew.
- Access control — the passerelle, tenders, and swim platform, which are the points most often left open.
- Anti-boarding readiness — rehearsed procedures and a clear muster and safe-room plan.
- Port & berth coordination — security arranged with the marina and managed approaches to the vessel.
- Transfer protection — tender and helicopter movements covered end to end.
How we work
Security at sea begins long before the lines are slipped. We map the itinerary, flag no-go areas and alternate ports, and reduce the information leakage — AIS tracking, social posts, marina chatter — that broadcasts your location.
- Route and itinerary review with primary and alternate ports.
- Port intelligence: local conditions, reliable agents, medical and extraction options.
- Vessel survey: access points, lighting, camera coverage, and a designated secure space.
- Watch routines that tighten at anchor and overnight, when vessels are most exposed.
Key principles
- The berth, not the open ocean, is usually the highest-risk state.
- Assess the route, every port, and the vessel itself before departure.
- Control the tenders, passerelle, and swim platform — the quiet entry points.
- Limit AIS and social exposure that reveals your position.
Maritime protection often extends ashore. We coordinate it with close protection for guests heading into port, and with digital privacy to keep your route confidential.
