​About CASI

In 2009, Command At Sea International (CASI) was formed by a team of executive protection, technical, and maritime security experts who had recently retired from the U.S. Secret Service, White House, and U.S. Coast Guard. Our first client was the owner of a 142-foot yacht that was just being delivered. We developed and installed significant security upgrades and controls that were so impressive that the same client hired us to provide all security systems and services for a larger new build done by one of Europe’s premier ship yards. 

​From this humble beginning, we have built our company and products into recognized leaders within the super yacht industry. CASI has become a renowned thought leader on yacht security and has been sought out by numerous publications seeking the latest information and insight on yacht security. In addition, we have done presentations for leading designers, ship yards, and service providers on best practices in the yacht security industry. Our reputation continues to grow as we deliver best-in-class yacht security advice, services, training, and equipment around the world.

The CASI Advantage: Complete Yacht Security Design, Build, and Support Services

At CASI, we specialize in providing services for the full lifespan of a luxury super yacht. Generally, we begin by assessing each new client’s existing security status and risk tolerance, as well as potentially emerging threats where the yacht is expected to operate. The results of this assessment are reviewed and approved by the client and become the guide for designing security measures.

In a new build, the first step is to work with the designers and naval architects to identify security needs that impact the space, volume, weight, stability, and appearance of the yacht. These items are included in the initial General Arrangement.

From there, we begin the design of the integrated security system using best-in-class equipment and methods. Our team takes samples of equipment into our lab and begins the testing and integration of the various components before installing them on the yacht itself. At the same time, we develop a comprehensive cabling plan that is installed at an early stage in the yacht build.
​
Throughout the project, CASI works closely with the entire build team to deliver and install components on schedule. At delivery, CASI performs a final delivery review to demonstrate all functionality is in place and takes full responsibility for a successful turn over.
After delivery, CASI trains the crew and can continue to provide maintenance and upgrades to the security system, crew training, and full Company Security Officer services.

Our aim is to be part of the yacht team through the entire lifetime of ownership.
