Professional Scenario — Miami

A high-net-worth principal arriving via private jet at Opa-locka Executive Airport for Miami Art Week required ground transport to Fisher Island, yacht security coordination for a 3-day vessel stay, and event coverage at 4 gallery openings across Wynwood and Miami Beach. Advance work covered all 4 venues and identified an unauthorized photographer at one location prior to the principal's arrival. Total coverage: 5 days, 2-agent rotating detail, with yacht-side and shoreside positions throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions — Miami

What license do bodyguards in Miami need?

Florida bodyguards must hold a Class D (unarmed) or Class G (armed) license from the Florida Division of Licensing. The operating firm must hold a Class B (security agency) license. GetProtectors agents and our firm are fully licensed and insured in Florida. Verify both the agent's Class D/G card and the agency's Class B before any engagement.

How much do bodyguard services in Miami cost?

Bodyguard services in Miami range from $60-$120/hr per agent. Standard tier starts at $60/hr, Professional at $85/hr (common for executive and celebrity engagements), and Elite at $120/hr (former federal agents). Multi-agent details for Art Basel, Music Week, or yacht events are quoted individually. 4-hour minimum applies.

Do you provide yacht and maritime security in Miami?

Yes. We provide maritime security for private vessels, including marina advance work, crew vetting coordination, and waterside agent deployment for Fisher Island, Biscayne Bay, Star Island, and the Intracoastal Waterway. Vessel-side agents are trained in maritime protective protocols.

How quickly can I book a bodyguard for a Miami nightclub or event?

Same-day and next-day bookings are available for Miami nightlife and event coverage. We recommend 24+ hours advance notice for complex multi-venue nights or yacht-based events requiring proper advance work and venue coordination.

Do you cover Art Basel and major Miami events?

Yes. GetProtectors provides executive and VIP protection for Art Basel, Miami Music Week, Miami Boat Show, Formula 1 Miami GP, and Super Bowl events. Early booking is advised — our Miami roster fills weeks in advance for these periods.

Can I hire armed private security in Miami?

Yes. Armed private security in Miami is available through our Class G-licensed armed agents. Florida is one of the more permissive states for armed close protection. Many luxury venues (yacht clubs, members-only clubs, exclusive condos) require pre-clearance for armed details — specify armed preference at booking and we will handle venue approvals.

Do you provide personal bodyguard services in Miami for celebrities?

Yes. Discreet personal bodyguard services for celebrities, athletes, and high-profile principals are a core offering. All Miami celebrity engagements are bound by professional confidentiality — we do not disclose client identities at any point. Multi-agent details, paparazzi management, and OPSEC protocols are standard.
