How the assignment works

Superyacht & Maritime Security in practice

Yacht assignments involve two environments at once: the vessel, where access is controlled through the gangway, tender and crew, and the shore side, where guests arrive, deliveries appear and attention is hard to avoid. USPA coordinates with the captain and yacht manager so coverage fits the crew's routine instead of interrupting it.

Coverage ranges from a discreet overnight watch alongside in a busy marina to guest protection during an owner's stay, plus tender movements and shore excursions.

Vessel access control

Gangway and tender control with a verified visitor list agreed with the captain.

I have their pricing to be very affordable and competitive. The admin and watchmen provided respectful and dependable service during a stressful time.

Answers

Questions clients ask before booking

Do you provide security for yachts in Miami?
Yes. USPA provides vessel, marina and tender coverage in Miami and other ports, coordinated with the captain and yacht management so security fits the crew's routine. Coverage ranges from a discreet overnight watch alongside in a busy marina to guest protection during an owner's stay.
How does yacht security work at a marina?
Access is controlled at the gangway and the tender. Officers work from a visitor list agreed with the captain, verify deliveries and contractors before they board, and patrol the vessel and its shore-side position overnight. The shore side matters as much as the vessel: guests, drivers and attention all arrive from land.
Can you travel with the vessel?
Yes. Coverage can accompany a vessel to other ports and anchorages, and shore-side coverage can be arranged in advance at destination marinas. For unfamiliar ports, the advance includes the marina, its access routes and the local environment before the vessel arrives.
Do you coordinate with the captain and crew?
Coordination with the captain and yacht manager is the starting point of every assignment. Security procedures are written to fit the crew's routine rather than interrupt it, and officers report to the contact the owner designates. Guest privacy expectations are briefed before the first watch.
Can you protect guests during charters and events aboard?
Yes. Charter guest coverage, an owner's guests and event movements ashore are staffed with the same access control and event security structure used on land, adapted to the vessel's layout. Tender movements and shore excursions are covered as part of the plan.
How far in advance should yacht security be booked?
Advance notice of a week or more allows for marina coordination and crew briefing, though short-notice coverage is available when an itinerary changes. Recurring owners often place standing coverage for the season. Request a quote with the vessel, port and dates.
