Bodyguard in Capri
Hiring a bodyguard in Capri, answered.
Yes. Italian private security law licenses the guarding of property, not the protection of people: there is no bodyguard licence in Italy, which is exactly why the provider matters. Every officer on a Capri detail is a vetted Italian officer with a police, Carabinieri or military background, selected by Algoz over years of assignments in Campania, and any guarding of a villa or valuables goes through Prefettura-licensed Italian security institutes. Capri is not dangerous in the ordinary sense. It is small, pedestrian, crowded from the first hydrofoil to the last and watched by every phone on the Piazzetta, and a principal here is exposed at the three points the island forces on everyone: the quay at Marina Grande, the funicular and the square, and the lanes to the villa or the hotel.
Algoz is a protection house that also runs the concierge side, so the villa, the boat, the tables and the officer are one plan rather than four suppliers. Send the dates, the villa, the hotel or the yacht and the party: you receive a written proposal with a final rate, under NDA from the first message.
- Vetted Italian officers, NDA-bound, unarmed and low profile
- Officers who work on foot: the quay, the funicular, the Piazzetta, Via Camerelle and the lanes to the villa
- Villa and hotel cover in Capri and Anacapri, with overnight presence after the last hydrofoil
- Tender, anchorage and quay cover for yachts off Marina Piccola, the Faraglioni and Marina Grande
- Boutique visits and dinners arranged as private appointments, not public moments
- Female officers and English, Italian, Russian and Arabic speaking teams on notice
Close protection in Capri: the first questions.
Is it legal?
Yes. Italian law licenses the guarding of property, not people, and, as Italian legal commentary reads it, a private officer works with a citizen’s powers. A foreign licence has no standing in Italy, so where a principal arrives with their own team we pair it with a vetted Italian officer.
What it costs
From EUR 950 per day, the market base, for one vetted officer on twelve-hour cover. On Capri a security driver matters less than on the mainland, because the island restricts cars: the plan is an officer on foot, the island's open taxis or electric vehicles, and a tender. Villa cover, weddings and multi-officer details are quoted to the brief.
How fast
We ask for at least seven days to match the officer, walk the villa or the hotel and plan the quay and the water. Shorter notice is looked at case by case; under 48 hours carries an urgency fee and is not guaranteed, and nobody places a vetted officer on the island in 24 hours, whatever a website says.
Armed or unarmed
Capri details are unarmed as standard, as everywhere in Italy for private protection. Armed protection of a client is almost never possible in Italy: any request needs a minimum 30-day lead, may be refused and is never guaranteed. The island almost never justifies it.
Where we cover
Capri town, Marina Grande and Marina Piccola, Via Tragara and the Faraglioni, Anacapri, Monte Solaro and Punta Carena, the Blue Grotto and the anchorages; Naples Capodichino and Molo Beverello, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast at the other end of the boat. See bodyguard in Naples.
Who you get
Vetted Italian officers with police, Carabinieri or military backgrounds, familiar with the island, working in Italian and English, with Russian and Arabic speaking officers and female officers on notice for family and villa briefs.
Bodyguard services in Capri.
Vetted Close Protection Officers
Vetted Italian officers who read as an assistant or a friend of the house, present on the quay, in the funicular, on the Piazzetta and at the restaurant, and absent where they are not needed. On an island with no cars, the officer is the plan.
Marina Grande, Hydrofoils and Helicopters
Met at Molo Beverello in Naples or at the quay in Sorrento, on the hydrofoil with you, and off first at Marina Grande where the day-trippers land. Luggage handled by the island porters we work with, the funicular or a taxi held, and the helicopter from Naples arranged when the sea or the timetable is against you.
Villa and Hotel Cover
A walk-through before the lease or the arrival: the lane, the gate, the terraces open to the path, who holds keys, and the staff briefed on who may approach. Overnight presence after the last hydrofoil, when the island is on its own, and liaison with the hotel where you stay rather than rent.
Yacht, Tender and Anchorage Cover
An officer on the tender, at the quay and ashore for the dinner, with the shore side coordinated with the captain. The anchorages off Marina Piccola and the Faraglioni, the Blue Grotto by boat, and the Nerano and Positano dinners covered on the same brief.
The Piazzetta, Via Camerelle and the Tables
The square at aperitivo hour, the boutiques on Via Camerelle and the restaurants on the terraces are where a principal is most visible. Appointments made at the jewellers so a visit reads as private business, tables chosen for their door, and an officer at the shoulder in lanes too narrow for ten metres of distance.
Wedding and Private Event Security
Villa weddings and dinners above Marina Piccola, with a guest list, one lane in and photographers who know the address. Guest-list control, a quiet presence that reads as hospitality, the transfers by boat, and the jewellery looked after. See destination weddings.
Marina Grande and the quay
Everything on Capri begins at Marina Grande: the hydrofoils from Naples and Sorrento, the ferries, the day boats, the tenders and the porters, all on one quay that fills in the late morning and again in the early evening. A principal landing here is at their most visible, standing still with luggage among a crowd that is looking at the sea. We land you first or last, never in the middle, hold the funicular or a taxi above, and walk the quay as a sequence rather than a wait. See protection in Naples, where the boat starts.
Protection in NaplesThe Piazzetta and Capri town
The square is small, the tables are close and the island's whole evening passes through it. Via Camerelle and Via Tragara lead off it to the boutiques, the hotels and the terrace above the Faraglioni. Protection in town is done on foot, at the shoulder, with the restaurant reached by the lane that is not the busy one, the boutique visited by appointment and the walk home timed after the square empties. A good officer here is a friend of the house who happens to be standing in the right place. See celebrity close protection.
Celebrity close protectionThe villas above Marina Piccola
The villas along Via Tragara, above Marina Piccola and on the slopes toward Anacapri are reached by lane and by steps, open to the path and to the sea, and rented by the week in summer. We walk the house before you take it: the gate, the terraces, the path from the water, the staff, the neighbours and the night. Overnight presence is arranged where the family wants it, and the house can be swept where the brief calls for it. See villas and properties.
Villas and propertiesAnacapri, Monte Solaro and the west
Anacapri is the quieter half: the road up from Capri town, Villa San Michele, the chairlift to Monte Solaro, the lighthouse at Punta Carena and the hotels that sit above the sea rather than above the square. For a family that wants the island without the Piazzetta it is the right base, and protection here is a driver who knows the one road, an officer for the chairlift and the walks, and a plan for the day that ends in town. See private travel.
Private travelYachts, the Faraglioni and the Blue Grotto
Capri from the water is the island at its best: the anchorages off Marina Piccola and the Faraglioni, the dinner ashore reached by tender, the Blue Grotto by rowing boat when the sea allows, and Nerano across the strait. The risk is the handover between sea and shore, where responsibility is dropped between the crew and the restaurant. Our officer is on the tender and on the quay, and the shore side is coordinated with the captain. See yacht charter.
Yacht charterNaples, Sorrento and the coast beyond
The island is a day or a week, and the itinerary almost always continues: to Sorrento and Nerano, to Positano and Ravello on the coast, to Naples for Capodichino and the Frecciarossa, to Pompeii for the day. The same officer travels with you, the car waits at the right quay on the mainland, and the whole plan is written once. See bodyguard on the Amalfi Coast.

The opening
The hotels open at Easter, the first yachts arrive, the sea is still cool and the lanes are empty in the evening. The right weeks for a quiet stay in a villa or a first visit with children.
The season begins
The island fills from the first weekend: the boutiques are open late, the terraces are booked and the day-trippers arrive by the thousand. Planned in spring, June is the month we recommend to families.
The season proper
Non-resident cars are kept off the island, the quay runs on timetables and the Piazzetta on names. The month that needs a plan for every arrival and every dinner.
Ferragosto
Italy on the island and the hydrofoils full from the first sailing. A villa reached by tender, tables booked in spring and an officer who knows the quays make August pleasant; nothing else does.
The best month
Warm sea, the crowds gone, the hotels still open and the light at its best. The month we recommend to anyone who can choose.
A house kept
Most hotels close by November and the island belongs to the islanders. We keep a client's house watched, maintained and ready for Easter, and cover the few winter visits and the New Year on the island. See villas and properties.
Brief, officer, quay, water, villa.
The brief, under NDA
The dates, the villa, the hotel or the yacht, the party, how you arrive and what the week should feel like. Held under NDA before a name or an address is shared.
Officer matching
Vetted by Algoz, the language you want, female or male, experience on the island. You see the profile before anyone is deployed.
The quay and the water
Which sailing, which quay, who meets you, the porters, the funicular or the taxi, the tender and the anchorage, the helicopter if the day needs it.
The villa or the hotel
Walked before you arrive: the lane, the gate, the terraces, the keys, the staff, overnight presence where wanted. The hotel briefed where you stay rather than rent.
The stay
Present where the risk sits: the quay, the square, the boutiques, the dinner, the wedding, the day on the water. Invisible where it does not.
One contact
One coordinator for the officer, the boat, the house and the concierge side, in your language, through the whole stay.
“Capri has no cars, one quay and a square where everyone can see everyone. Protection here is a matter of standing in the right place, and of knowing the lane that is not the busy one.”
What protection in Capri costs.
Close protection in Capri is from EUR 950 per day, the market base, for one vetted officer on twelve-hour cover. On the island the addition that matters most is not a car but the boat: a tender and a crew coordinated with the officer, quoted separately, with the island porters and taxis arranged in advance. Villa cover, a wedding detail and a yacht shore team are quoted to the brief, and a longer stay is quoted as a programme that costs less per day than a series of short assignments.
Armed cover and multi-officer details sit above the base and are quoted to the brief. You receive one written figure before you commit, with no obligation, and we tell you when an officer for the arrival and the evenings alone is the honest answer.
