Training
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; not just classrooms.
Training will start with fundamentals in port and carry on to more advanced tactics and drills at sea. The goal is to have a crew that understands safety protocols, improves situational awareness, and can use their newly-gained skillset to keep the vessel and its guests safe in any environment.
Practice does not make perfect. Only Perfect practice makes perfect.

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.
