02 — Maritime & Superyacht Security

Operational security for luxury vessels, anywhere.

Comprehensive protection for superyachts and private maritime voyages — from open-ocean transit to the higher-risk hours alongside in port.

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.

Frequently asked

Maritime security — your questions.

What does superyacht security involve?

Superyacht security combines on-board protective personnel, anti-boarding measures, crew vetting, cyber protection for vessel systems, and port-side risk management — keeping owners, guests and crew safe at sea and ashore.

Do you provide security both at sea and in port?

Yes. We cover the full picture — open-ocean readiness and an anti-piracy posture while underway, and port-side vulnerability management when berthed, where many incidents actually occur.

Can you protect against piracy?

Our maritime teams are trained in anti-boarding tactics, deterrence and open-ocean readiness, with intelligence-led routing to avoid high-risk waters wherever possible.

Do you vet yacht crew?

Yes. Crew vetting and background screening are part of our maritime service, closing one of the most common and overlooked vulnerabilities on a luxury vessel.

Where do you provide maritime security?

We provide superyacht and maritime security worldwide, including throughout the Mediterranean and the waters most frequented by ultra-high-net-worth owners.
