THE COMPANY
MAST exclusively serves the super yacht sector. We specialise in planning, monitoring and administering security for high value yachts around the world. From initial blueprint design through to physical protection, training, auditing, and ISPS compliance, our bespoke service is ongoing and tailored to your distinct requirements. We are committed to delivering intelligent, pragmatic solutions that safeguard our clients and their vessels.
As you would expect from a team that has managed security for the world’s largest super yacht fleet, we deliver the very highest standards of security and professionalism. The MAST Directors have over 25 years experience in maritime security, and MAST employs specialists from a wide range of professional backgrounds including Maritime Law, UK Special Forces, Royal Navy and the Merchant Navy.
At MAST we do not solve part of the problem or deliver half an answer. We provide a complete round the clock security management solution that is confidential, appropriate and never intrusive.
We are firmly of the view that the only way to provide appropriate and effective security is to have a seamless link between the legal and compliance process on the one hand, and the additional security services that an owner or yacht may need on the other.
Our security solutions work in a real commercial context, whether it is in the provision of security efficiencies to help reduce insurance premiums or to limit time delays at port state control.

Our key service areas include:
Intelligence assessments, Anti piracy protection, VIP close protection, Armed escort patrol vessels and Advance port surveys.

APPROPRIATE ACTION
The likelihood of a serious security incident is slight yet the consequences can be far reaching and traumatic. Whilst intelligent security planning can mitigate the possibility of an incident, professional physical protection services will provide complete security against an attack. With MAST you receive exceptional physical protection services and complete peace of mind.
MAST employs appropriate action to avoid, prevent or neutralise attacks in full consultation with the Captain. Our physical security service includes onboard armed protection, an armed escort service, anti piracy training and advance port visits.
