Superyacht Security (Sydney & Australia)

Discreet on-board protection for owners, charter guests, and high-profile voyages.
GX Elite embeds low-profile protective teams that integrate with your captain and crew—preserving privacy, schedule, and guest experience from marina to open water.

What you get

  • On-board protective detail (overt or covert) aligned to yacht etiquette and guest protocols

  • Port & marina liaison (berth access control, visitor management, tender routes)

  • Crew vetting & guest privacy (NDA coordination, access zoning, service-side workflows)

  • Shore party & tender security (pier approaches, vehicles, venue transitions)

  • Protective intelligence (itinerary risk, anchorages, route & weather contingencies)

  • Counter-drone & paparazzi mitigation (where lawful and appropriate)
