Executive Protection for Miami and Palm Beach Clients, Abroad and at Home
What a Miami or Palm Beach client gets from us, and what they do not.
South Florida is the only American market that travels equally in two directions, and they are different problems. North-east, to Madrid, Rome, Paris, London and the Mediterranean in the yacht season, the risk is petty and the booking is a licensed security driver with an executive car: the arrival, the shopping, the jetty, the dinners, the late return. South, to Mexico City, Bogota, Sao Paulo, Rio and the Caribbean, the threat picture is higher, the licensing is local and strict, and a licensed officer with a vetted driver is not a luxury but the reason the trip is uneventful. Either way the Florida detail does not travel: no European or Latin American country recognizes a Florida Class D or G license, a US firearms permit or a US company's insurance.
What we do is deliver the standard in both directions from one desk, with Spanish and Portuguese spoken, on Eastern time. Officers licensed where you land, briefed against your itinerary, one coordinator for a trip that runs Palm Beach to Madrid to Marbella or Miami to Mexico City to Cabo, a proposal in EUR with the USD beside it, and the figure on it final. At home, for the season, Art Basel, the boat shows and the estates on the island, the same desk coordinates licensed Florida partners. Send the itinerary; a person reads it the same morning.
- Officers licensed in each country you land in: GPG in Italy, CNAPS in France, SIA in the UK, Ministry of the Interior in Spain, and licensed, vetted companies in Mexico, Colombia, Brazil and the Caribbean
- Two models for two directions: a security driver with an executive car for Europe and the Mediterranean, a licensed officer with a vetted driver and the right vehicle for Latin America
- The yacht season handled jetty to villa: Marbella, Ibiza, the Riviera, Sardinia, the Amalfi Coast, with boats booked and tenders met
- Spanish and Portuguese on the desk, replies on Eastern time usually within two hours and always within 24
- Proposal in EUR with an indicative USD figure beside it; payment by card including American Express, or transfer; the proposal figure is final
- At home: licensed Florida partners under Class D and G rules for the Palm Beach season, Art Basel, the boat shows, Fisher Island, Star Island and the estates
What Miami and Palm Beach clients ask before they book.
Can my Florida detail work abroad?
As staff and advisors, yes. As protection, no. Europe licenses officers country by country and Latin America does the same, and none recognizes a Florida Class D or G license, a US firearms permit or US insurance. Your team writes the plan with us; the licensed local officer carries it out.
Is Latin America different from Europe?
Yes, and honestly so. In Madrid or Rome the risk is a pickpocket and the right level is a security driver. In Mexico City, Bogota, Sao Paulo or Rio the threat picture is higher, express kidnapping and armed robbery of visible wealth are real, and the right level is a licensed officer with a vetted driver, an appropriate vehicle and a plan. We say which, and we do not sell Europe on fear.
What does it cost in dollars?
Close protection in Western Europe starts from EUR 850 per day for one officer on a twelve-hour block, with the executive vehicle added. Latin American bases are confirmed country by country on inquiry. The indicative USD figure appears beside every EUR figure for visitors from the US. The proposal is in EUR and the figure on it is final.
Do you work the Mediterranean yacht season?
Jetty to villa, yes. Marbella and Puerto Banus, Ibiza, the Riviera, Sardinia and the Costa Smeralda, Capri and the Amalfi Coast: tenders met, the car at the quay, the villa covered, the beach clubs and the evenings handled, with officers licensed in Spain, France or Italy.
Do you speak Spanish and Portuguese?
On the desk and on the ground. Spanish and Portuguese speakers coordinate the trip and brief the officers, which matters for a Miami family with Latin American ties or a Palm Beach client with a house in Spain.
Do you cover South Florida itself?
Through licensed Florida partners, yes: Class D and G licensed officers and security drivers for the Palm Beach season, Art Basel, the boat shows, Fisher Island, Star Island, Indian Creek and the estates, armed where the assessment and Florida law allow. The same desk coordinates home and abroad.
The services Miami and Palm Beach clients book most.
Security Driver in Madrid, Rome, Paris and London
One licensed officer at the wheel of an executive car for the arrival, the shopping streets, the dinners and the late return. The booking most South Florida clients make in Europe.
Marbella, Ibiza, the Riviera, Sardinia
Tenders met, the car at the quay, the villa covered, the beach clubs and the evenings handled, from one desk for the season.
Mexico, Colombia, Brazil and the Caribbean
Licensed, vetted officers with appropriate vehicles in Mexico City, Cabo, Bogota, Medellin, Sao Paulo, Rio and the islands, where the officer earns the fee.
Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha
Licensed officers and security drivers for the Gulf, nonstop from Miami, coordinated from the same desk as Europe and the south.
Palm Beach, Fisher Island, Art Basel
Licensed Florida partners for the season, the shows and the estates, coordinated by the desk that already knows your family.
The Rest of the Trip
Hotels, villas, tables, boats and the airport handled by the team that holds the protection, in Spanish or Portuguese where it helps.
Two directions, two models, and why we say which
A security firm that sells Rome and Bogota with the same voice is lying about one of them. In Western Europe the risk to a South Florida visitor is petty: pickpockets in Madrid and Rome, phone snatching in Paris, unlicensed taxis at every airport, watch theft on the shopping streets, and the right level is one licensed security driver with an executive car, from EUR 850 per day. In Mexico City, Bogota, Medellin, Sao Paulo and Rio the picture is different: express kidnapping, armed robbery of visible wealth, carjacking on known roads, and the right level is a licensed officer with a vetted driver, an appropriate and sometimes armored vehicle, and a plan that covers the airport road, the hotel and the evenings. We run both from one desk, and we tell a Miami client honestly which trip is which.
Bodyguard in Mexico CityWhy the Florida detail stops at the jet bridge
A Florida executive protection agent holds a Class D license, a Class G firearms license and works for a licensed Florida agency with Florida insurance. None of that has standing in Madrid, Rome, Paris, London, Mexico City or Sao Paulo. Spain licenses protection under Law 5/2014 through Ministry of the Interior accredited officers; Italy through Prefettura-authorized institutes; France through the CNAPS; the United Kingdom through the SIA; and every Latin American country through its own federal or state regulator, strictly, with armed protection a licensed local matter. Your head of security keeps the strategy and writes the plan with us; we provide the officer who is legal, insured and, where it matters, Spanish- or Portuguese-speaking as well as English-speaking. The standard travels. The license does not.
Executive protection in Europe for US clientsMadrid, Marbella and Spain: the natural first stop
Miami flies nonstop to Madrid and South Florida has more houses in Spain than any other American market, which makes Spain the natural first stop in Europe. Madrid's risk is Europe's most professional pickpockets around Sol, Gran Via and the Prado; Marbella's is villa burglary while the house is empty, bag and watch theft around Puerto Banus at night, and the coast road after the beach clubs. The booking is a security driver for Madrid and the airport, residential cover with a night presence for the villa in season, and an officer for the Puerto Banus evenings that matter. Spain licenses protection under Law 5/2014 through Ministry of the Interior accredited officers employed by licensed companies, Spanish-speaking as standard and English-speaking for the family.
Bodyguard in MarbellaThe yacht season: jetty to villa across the Mediterranean
From May to September a part of South Florida moves to the Mediterranean by boat, and the booking changes shape with it: tenders that land at a public quay, a car that must be at that quay at that minute, a villa with staff you have not met, beach clubs with a camera on every table, and evenings that end at a jetty at two in the morning. The arrangement is one coordinator for the season, officers licensed in Spain, France or Italy as the boat moves, a security driver who knows the coast road, residential cover at the villa, and a second officer for the evenings and the events. Marbella and Ibiza, the Riviera from Monaco to Saint-Tropez, Sardinia and the Costa Smeralda, Capri and the Amalfi Coast, handled as one program with one figure.
Bodyguard in Porto CervoSouth: Mexico City, Cabo, Bogota, Sao Paulo and Rio
Miami is the gateway to Latin America and its clients travel there for business and family in a way no other American city does. The honest picture: Mexico City, Bogota, Medellin, Sao Paulo and Rio are working cities with real risk to visible wealth, and the right level is a licensed local officer with a vetted driver, an appropriate and sometimes armored vehicle, and a plan for the airport road, the hotel, the restaurants and the evenings. Cabo, Cartagena and the Caribbean resorts are calmer and want a driver and a plan. Our Latin American partners are licensed under each country's regulator, Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking as standard, English-speaking for the family, and briefed from the same Miami-facing desk that handles Europe. One trip that runs Miami to Mexico City to Madrid is one program.
Bodyguard in Sao PauloAt home: the Palm Beach season, Art Basel and the estates
A family that winters in Palm Beach, summers on the Mediterranean and works in Latin America does not want three security relationships. For the weeks in South Florida we coordinate licensed Florida partners under Class D and G rules: security drivers for the Palm Beach season, residential cover on the island, Fisher Island, Star Island and Indian Creek, Art Basel and the boat shows, and armed officers where the assessment and Florida law allow. The desk that planned your Marbella summer knows your family, your staff and your standard, and the Florida work runs to the same written plan. Our Miami and Palm Beach pages describe the home service in detail.
Bodyguard in Palm BeachWhen Miami and Palm Beach clients travel, and what the detail needs.

Madrid, Rome, Paris and London in the good weather: a security driver per city, one coordinator, arrivals at the door.
The Caribbean and the Alps
St. Barths, the Bahamas and the islands, or Courchevel and St. Moritz: resort cover and the right vehicle for the road.
Itinerary, direction, plan, officers, report.
The itinerary
Dates, cities, party, profile, and which direction: Europe, the south, or both. Under NDA from the first message, answered on Eastern time in English, Spanish or Portuguese.
The honest level
A security driver for Europe and the Mediterranean; a licensed officer with a vetted driver and the right vehicle for Latin America. We say which, and we do not inflate the first to look like the second.
The written plan
Licensed company and officers in each country, vehicles, routes, hotel and villa liaison, jetties and tenders, escalation chain, and one figure in EUR with the USD beside it.
The arrival
The flight from MIA, FLL or PBI tracked, met inside the terminal, the car at the door, the hotel or the villa already briefed.
The program
One coordinator across every country and every leg, officers handing over at each border, the boat followed along the coast, the plan held when the diary moves.
Report
A short written account at the end for your file or your head of security's, if you want one. Then nothing: no newsletter, no follow-up calls.
“Rome wants a driver. Bogota wants an officer. A firm that cannot tell a Miami client the difference should not be hired for either.”
What executive protection abroad costs a Miami or Palm Beach client.
Professional close protection in Italy, France, Spain and the UK starts from EUR 850 per day for a single principal on twelve-hour cover, the market base, with the executive vehicle added as its own line. Latin American bases are confirmed country by country on inquiry, with the vehicle and any armored requirement quoted to the assessment. The yacht season, a second officer, residential cover by the night and the August resorts sit above the base; a multi-city or multi-country program receives one figure. The indicative USD figure appears beside each EUR figure for visitors from the US; the proposal and the invoice are in EUR and the proposal figure is final.
Allow seven days; under 48 hours carries an urgency fee and no guarantee. Payment by card, including American Express, or by transfer, invoiced by Algoz FZ-LLC. See also what a bodyguard costs in US dollars and executive protection in Europe for US clients.
