Yacht Security & Close Protection in Antibes: Côte d'Azur
Antibes has the largest superyacht marina in the Mediterranean, Port Vauban, and is the base for the world's superyachts during the winter refit season (September to May) and the start of the summer charter season. The Blackwolf Group Global provides yacht-side close protection, captain coordination, and tarmac-to-tender operations for principals transiting through Antibes.
In Antibes, most of the security work happens at sea: managing tenders as they come in, keeping photographers' boats away, and protecting you as you move between the Juan-les-Pins beach clubs, private homes on Cap d'Antibes 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 risk briefings draw on public information, what we learned on earlier jobs in the area, and regular contact with trusted local partners. If the risk changes while we protect you, the team is told straight away.
