Executive Protection in Miami — Art Basel, Yacht Week & UHNW Security
Miami concentrates Latin American UHNW wealth, international art collecting, and the world's largest superyacht show into a subtropical city with a documented elevated crime environment. FFGR Security Worldwide provides executive protection for principals attending Art Basel Miami Beach, Miami Yacht Show, and private stays in Star Island, Fisher Island, and South Beach.
Miami's security landscape is shaped by its role as a gateway between Latin America and the United States: OCG money laundering networks, targeted kidnapping risk for Spanish-surname UHNW families, and the reputational exposure of the Art Basel social circuit.

Threat picture
Miami at the moderate risk band
Miami sits in the moderate risk band: low baseline of conventional crime against well-protected principals, but specific exposure during high-profile events, peak diplomatic windows and contested business announcements. Our planning isolates these high-exposure windows and applies an enhanced posture only when justified — never as a default theatrical presence.
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.
