Mission

In an increasingly unstable global political and social environment, threats from pirates, terrorists, thieves and organized criminal elements are growing on the sparsely policed world’s oceans. Yacht security is more critical than ever to the use and enjoyment of private yachts. Harnessing the talent of the world’s most sophisticated and experienced international security experts, Command at Sea International (CASI) provides unequaled head-of-state level protection for select luxury yachts.

Strategic Environment

In 2011, SOLAS, international maritime regulatory agency, mandated the use of armed escorts in threat-prone areas. As recent news reports verify, yachts, their crew and owner complements are particularly attractive, high-yield targets for ransom minded pirates. For terrorists, wealthy individuals and their highly visible property ensure the kind of publicity that is often the core motivation for their attacks.

Ironically, most yachts provide lower levels of security than their owners deploy in their homes and businesses, despite the fact their vessels are often moored in areas of significant risk and reduced police enforcement. CASI’s mission is to reverse this equation by offering customized security that is perfectly tailored for the emerging global security environment.
