Yacht Security & Close Protection in Antibes — Côte d'Azur
Antibes hosts the largest superyacht marina in the Mediterranean — Port Vauban — and is the operational base for the global superyacht fleet during the Côte d'Azur winter refit season (September to May) and the launch of the summer charter season. FFGR Security Worldwide provides yacht-side close protection, captain coordination, and tarmac-to-tender operations for principals transiting through Antibes.
Antibes' security environment is dominated by maritime operations: tender approach management, anti-paparazzi marine protocols, and the specific challenge of protecting principals moving between Juan-les-Pins beach clubs, Cap d'Antibes private residences, and the superyacht marina.

Threat picture
Antibes at the standard risk band
Antibes ranks among the safer cities in the world by conventional metrics, yet the specific exposure of UHNW principals — surveillance, financial intelligence collection, paparazzi pressure during recurring events, and the residual physical risk attached to high-net-worth visibility — requires a properly calibrated protective posture rather than absent coverage.
Our country and city risk briefings combine structured open-source intelligence, pattern-of-life data from prior local mandates, and regular dialogue with our accredited regional partners. Where the threat picture moves materially during a deployment, the team is briefed within sixty minutes.
