Boat Firearms Training: One Day / $350
This class is designed around the needs of a boat owner / captain. This is a standard course. Training includes firearm safety, situational awareness, proper firearm selection, proper ammunition and accessory selection, correct storage, firearm maintenance, using firearms in realistic scenarios, live-fire exercises, and use of cover. We will teach you how to select and utilize your chosen defensive firearms safely and correctly. How well you are trained and perform with your chosen weapon can and will sway the balance of most lethal force confrontations such as piracy, vessel invasion, kidnapping, terrorist attack etc.
Note: Due to over penetration, maintenance and potential legal issues (especially outside the USA) we do not recommend the use of carbines / black rifles or high-powered rifles for boat protection work. We recommend handguns and shotguns. However, having a working understanding and training with carbines / rifles will give you the ability to work with what ever firearm is made available to you in a crisis situation.
Ammunition Required: 250 rounds of hand gun ammunition and 100 rounds of rifle / shotgun ammunition
Prerequisites: None
Additional Equipment: Baseball cap and sun screen (sun protection), food and drinks, elbow and knee Pads, along with clothing that will allow for work on the ground (no open top shoes or v neck tops).
The Executive Solution offers integrated training, security, firearms, escort boats and security force services. We are now able to meet 100% of ANY Marine / Yacht security and training requirements. We interview the Captain and the crew. We review the primary areas the vessel will travel through in the future. We interview the owner of the vessel to get their perspective on the types of security needed, including Security and Maritime Equipment on the Vessel, the use of Lethal and Non-Lethal devices, and in certain situations a Security Force on board your vessel or an escort vessel. Once our assessment is completed, we sit down with the owner and review key points and recommendations for equipment (such as Global Tracking Systems), Training (security, awareness, firearms and non-lethal equipment) and Protective Services (on and off vessel security personnel). We then provide a fully documented Security Vulnerability Perspective document, with recommendations options potential risks and associated costs. It’s your vessel, it’s your crew……you choose the level of security you want and we will deliver it.
Yacht / Marine Crew Firearms Training (for larger vessels):
Here we teach you and/or your crew how to select and utilize your yacht’s defensive firearms safely and correctly. Choosing and using firearms on a vessel regardless to size is a serious and often overlooked element of your total security needs. How well you and your crew are trained with your vessels armory can and will sway the balance of most lethal force confrontations such as piracy, vessel invasion, kidnapping, terrorist attack etc. Each class is based around the specific needs and wants of the vessel owner and crew. Training can include firearm safety, situational awareness, proper firearm selection, proper ammunition and accessory selection, correct storage, firearm maintenance, using firearms in realistic scenarios, force-on-force training, live-fire exercises, use of cover, and creating, teaching and understanding firearm SOP (standard operating procedures). Please call for further information and pricing.
Our business is based on offering total discretion - the owners' privacy will be maintained at the strictest level. We send out a threat assessment team to your vessel's location anywhere in the world to survey the yacht from a Security Vulnerability Perspective. We determine any weak points including how accessible the vessel might be when underway, at anchor, and in port.
