For owners, captains and management companies who want the boat watched, in Saint-Tropez and along the Var coast.
A yacht alongside is a house whose front door opens onto the busiest street in town. On the quay at Saint-Tropez, the crowd passes within a few metres of the passerelle every summer evening. Yacht security means holding that gangway, day and night, with an officer who knows the list of authorised persons and can say no without making a scene.
We work for owners, captains, management companies and brokers, in Saint-Tropez, Port-Grimaud, Sainte-Maxime, Cogolin and along the whole Var coast. Yacht security in Saint-Tropez covers the season, when the boat entertains, and the winter, when she lies alongside and empty. Our Gassin office, ten minutes away, allows quick reliefs and reinforcements.
The officer fits in with the running of the boat, takes instructions from the captain or the owner, coordinates with the crew, the harbour office and port security, and never steps aboard without being invited.
An officer at the gangway, in plain clothes or crew uniform, holds the list of authorised persons, receives guests and suppliers and turns away the curious.
At anchor off Pampelonne or in the gulf, the officer keeps watch aboard or from the tender, as agreed with the captain, over the approaches and the surroundings of the boat.
Rounds of the boat alongside and of the pontoon, checks on lines, access points and alarms, an inspection after every blow, regular reports to the captain or the manager.
The officer knows the boat's routine, the expected deliveries and the harbour office's rules. The officer does not replace the crew but extends it when the crew goes ashore.
Guest checks at the gangway, management of tenders and arrivals by sea, discreet presence on deck through the evening.
Every visitor, every refusal, every incident is recorded. The captain or the owner receives a report at the end of each shift.
You or your captain describe the boat, her berth, the period and the routine aboard. A reply within 24 hours, from the manager who will follow the assignment.
We come to see the boat and her berth, meet the captain and take note of the port's rules. Access points, lighting and pontoon neighbours are recorded.
It sets out the hours, the list of authorised persons, the dress, the instructions for suppliers and guests, and the contacts aboard and ashore. The captain approves it.
The officer reports to the captain, takes instructions and begins with a round of the boat and the quay. A site manager follows the assignment and remains reachable.
An officer holding the CNAPS professional licence, used to marinas and to the demands of a crew. Plain clothes or crew uniform, gangway watch, rounds, logbook and report to the captain. A MAROS site manager keeps the link with the boat and the harbour office. This level suits the season and winter guarding alike.
For an exposed owner, an isolated anchorage or a sensitive period, an officer with proven military experience, equipped with a thermal camera and thermal binoculars to watch the approaches at night, encrypted radio linked to the boat, a reinforced lone-worker device and a panic button linked to our on-call desk. Briefing with the captain, an emergency protocol specific to the boat, enhanced reporting.
This is where we work: the port of Saint-Tropez, the anchorages of Pampelonne and Les Canebiers, Port-Grimaud, Sainte-Maxime, Cogolin. The Gassin office is ten minutes from the quays, in season and in winter.
Private security in Saint-Tropez
You are in Paris and your boat is in the south: a single point of contact organises the watch alongside before you arrive and the guarding after you leave, in liaison with your captain.
Private security in Paris
You divide the year between the mountains and the sea: the same manager looks after your chalet in winter and your yacht in summer, with consistent instructions and reports in the same format.
Private security in CourchevelEvery assignment is quoted individually. The price depends on the hours, the duration, the time of year and the level chosen. Night shifts between 21:00 and 06:00, Sundays, public holidays and requests at less than 48 hours' notice carry a surcharge. We reply within 24 hours, for a single evening or a whole winter.
Only with the agreement of the captain or the owner, and in the areas assigned. By default the post is at the gangway or on the quay. At anchor, presence aboard is agreed in advance.
Along the Var coast, yes, from Toulon to Saint-Raphaël. For a more distant port of call, we look at each request individually.
We add one or two officers for the evening: guest checks at the gangway, management of tenders, discreet presence on deck. The crew remains in charge aboard; we work under its instructions.
