Executive Protection in Miami Beach, FL
Close protection for executives, families and public figures across Miami Beach — from the hotels on Collins Avenue and the nightlife of South Beach to the private residences of Star Island, Fisher Island and Bal Harbour.
Miami Beach is a barrier island with a handful of ways in and out. Every movement between the mainland and the beach crosses the MacArthur, Venetian, Julia Tuttle, 79th Street or Broad causeway, and on a weekend night, during a convention or in the middle of Art Basel in December, any of them can stop for forty minutes. Executive protection in Miami Beach starts with knowing which causeway to use, when, and what to do when it closes.
The island also concentrates exposure. Principals stay in high-rise hotels with shared lobbies and valet lines on Collins Avenue, dine on Ocean Drive and Lincoln Road where cameras are everywhere, and move between private events, yachts and residences in the same evening. V&D agents plan each of those transitions in advance — controllable entrances, holding areas, vehicle staging and a second exit — so the principal never waits on a sidewalk.
We cover the full length of the island, from South Pointe to Surfside and Bal Harbour, plus Fisher Island, Star Island and the Venetian Islands, with secure ground transportation to Miami International Airport, Opa-locka Executive Airport and the private terminals the principal flies into.

Executive Protection in Miami Beach — FAQ
Do you provide executive protection during Art Basel Miami Beach?
Yes. Art Basel week in December is one of the busiest periods on the island: hotels are full, causeways back up and private events run late every night. We recommend booking agents and vehicles several weeks ahead so advance work at each venue and hotel can be completed before the principal arrives.
Can you protect guests staying at a Miami Beach hotel?
Yes. We coordinate with hotel security and management, plan controllable entrances and exits, stage vehicles away from the main valet line and keep an agent with the principal or posted near the suite, depending on the risk assessment.
Do you cover Fisher Island and Star Island residences?
Yes. Both are private, access-controlled islands. We work within each island's own security procedures, coordinate ferry or gate access in advance and provide on-site agents or protective escorts for residents and their guests.
How do you handle traffic on the Miami Beach causeways?
Every movement is planned with a primary and an alternate causeway, timed against events, bridge openings and rush hour. Protective drivers monitor traffic live and reroute before the principal is stuck, which matters most for airport runs and fixed-time appointments.
How quickly can a protection detail start in Miami Beach?
Miami Beach is minutes from our base in Miami-Dade County, so standard details can usually deploy within 1–3 hours of your inquiry. Multi-agent, armed or event-week details are planned in advance.
