Executive Cruise Protection Operator

Engagement Note: W-2 Employment. This position is a W-2 employment role with Praetorian Executive Protection LLC, a Florida Class "B" Security Agency (License B3600136). Candidates must hold (or be in process of obtaining) an active Florida Class D license, and Class G for armed assignments. The role is subject to standard payroll withholdings and company-provided insurance coverage, including workers' compensation. This classification is required by Florida Statute § 493.6301(4), which provides that a Class D licensee shall own or be an employee of a Class B security agency.

Praetorian Executive Protection LLC is hiring cruise protection operators who deploy as paying passengers on commercial cruise sailings and private yacht charters to provide continuous close protection for principals and their families. Work includes port embarkation security, onboard protective coverage, and pre-cleared shore excursions at every port of call. Executive protection or military background is preferred, along with a valid U.S. passport and flexibility for multi-day deployments.

Cruise travel is a high-exposure environment for executives, HNW families, and public figures. Embarkation lines are crowded. Shore excursions move through unfamiliar jurisdictions. Ship security is designed for ship-wide safety, not a personal detail. Praetorian operators sail as paying passengers to provide continuous close protection from the moment the principal arrives at the terminal through debarkation on return. The assignments are concentrated — 4 to 14 days typically — with strong preparation and discipline requirements.

What We Look For

  • Executive protection or HNW close-protection experience
  • Military or law enforcement background (preferred)
  • Valid U.S. passport, able to travel internationally without restriction
  • Flexibility for 4-to-14-day deployments at sea
  • Professional appearance that blends into the cruise passenger environment
  • Strong situational awareness in dense-crowd environments
  • Florida Class D license

What Praetorian Provides

  • Cruise engagements out of Port Canaveral, Port of Miami, Port Everglades, Port Tampa Bay, and JAXPORT
  • W-2 employment with a Florida Class B Security Agency (License B3600136)
  • Full cabin, meals, and onboard expenses covered during the sailing
  • Travel to and from the embarkation port covered
  • Hourly wage with premium rate for extended-duration sailings
  • Workers' compensation and general liability coverage during assigned duties
  • Pre-departure briefings and port-by-port destination assessments
  • Pathway to world cruise and private charter engagements for operators who perform
