Training will focus on the vessel's custom ship security plan and will run drills to allow the crew to get valuable practice on how to respond in the event of real world emergencies.
Our trainers are forged in the crucible of military Special Operations, VBSS boarding teams, and Surface Warfare - bringing unrivaled expertise and training from firsthand crisis experience.
Benefits of a well trained crew include:
Crew Retention - Trust within the team - Decision making skills - Leadership at every level
Trust forms the foundation of any successful crew. When team members trust each other and can rely on one another during stressful times, communication improves, morale is higher, and crew turnover drops significantly.

Outfitting
Hydra outfits yachts with tailored non-lethal defenses — from acoustic devices and drones to cameras, locks, and fouling nets. Each recommendation is based on a custom threat assessment, and every system is incorporated into the training to ensure it’s operated with confidence.
The result is layered protection designed specifically for your vessel to stop a threat before it becomes an incident.

Circa 2017 training the USS George H. W. Bush (CVN-77) on newly implemented SOPs on small boat attack before crossing into the Persian Gulf in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. All training was successful and the strike group executed a rigorous 9 month deployment before returning home safely.
