Bodyguard Services in St Barts
Close protection for public figures, executives and families during their stay in Saint-Barthélemy: villas, yachts in Gustavia, beaches, restaurants, Christmas and New Year, regattas — by licensed, discreet and prepared French officers. St Barts is French territory: our CNAPS licence is valid there.
Our bodyguard services in St Barts
We run close-protection assignments in Saint-Barthélemy from Cannes and Paris. Every stay is prepared in advance: transfers from St Maarten, villa or yacht access, venues and programme reconnoitred before you arrive.
Villas and residences
An officer at the villa, access control for house staff and contractors, night watch, escorting the children during the stay, coordination with your concierge and villa agency.
Yachts in Gustavia
Yacht security in Gustavia harbour or at anchor, guest screening at the gangway, escort of tenders and trips ashore, coordination with the captain and crew.
Transfers
Meet-and-greet at St Maarten (SXM) or Gustaf III (SBH), escort on the connecting flight or ferry, security driver and vehicle on the island, routes reconnoitred.
Festive season and regattas
Christmas and New Year in Gustavia, the St Barths Bucket, Les Voiles de Saint-Barth, private parties: a discreet officer handles approaches, photographers and exits without getting in the way.
Beaches, restaurants and boutiques
Escort on the beaches and in the restaurants and boutiques of Gustavia and Saint-Jean: the person wearing valuable jewellery is accompanied from the moment it leaves the safe until it returns.
Families and delegations
Protection of a family or a business delegation for the whole stay, female officers on request, one point of contact for your assistant or family office.
A French island, a French company
In Saint-Barthélemy, private security is governed by French law (Book VI of the Code de la sécurité intérieure) and by the CNAPS, exactly as in Cannes. You get the same legal framework, the same professional cards and the same management as on the Riviera.
Same legal framework
CNAPS licence and “physical protection of persons” professional cards valid in Saint-Barthélemy and Saint-Martin. No local intermediary required.
Your officers, not temps
The officers who follow you to St Barts are the ones who protect you in Cannes, Saint-Tropez or Paris: they know your habits, your family and your standards.
A prepared season
Flights, officers’ accommodation and vehicle are organised by us. For the festive season we book several weeks ahead.

How an assignment works
Frequently asked questions
Do you really operate in St Barts?
Yes. Our officers travel with you to Saint-Barthélemy from Cannes or Paris, supervised by the company’s management. As Saint-Barthélemy is a French territory, our CNAPS licence and our officers’ professional cards are valid there.
How do you get to St Barts?
Via St Maarten (Princess Juliana airport, SXM), with direct flights from Paris and the US East Coast, then a ten-minute flight to Gustaf III (SBH) or a ferry to Gustavia. We meet you in St Maarten or directly on the island, as you prefer.
How far in advance should I book?
For Christmas, New Year, the Bucket and Les Voiles de Saint-Barth we recommend booking several weeks ahead: flights and officers’ accommodation sell out early. For an urgent request, call us: we will tell you straight away what is possible.
How much does a bodyguard cost in St Barts?
The fee depends on the length of stay, number of officers, transfers and level of exposure; officers’ travel and accommodation are included in the quote. We provide a confidential quote after a free, no-obligation conversation.
Do your officers speak English?
Yes, all our protection officers speak English. Russian- or Arabic-speaking officers can be arranged on request when you book.
