Coastal Drone Surveys in Brighton

Professional, sea-safe coastal drone surveys in Brighton supporting shipping, yachts, and coastal structures.

Brighton sits within our South Coast marine operating area for coastal drone surveys. Work here ranges from vessel photography to structural survey of harbour infrastructure. Tell us the deadline early, because the forecast, not the diary, sets the date.

Every Brighton operation gets a site-specific risk assessment covering both air and sea risk. Dual-operator crews let the pilot manage proximity and drift while the camera operator holds the frame. Battery and crew rotations are planned so coverage does not break mid-sequence.

Any flight inside Brighton harbour limits is cleared with the authority before the crew arrives. Every flight is logged, and the records remain available for your compliance file. Abort and ditch criteria are briefed to crew and skipper before launch.

We retain the raw Brighton capture in case you need to revisit it. Contact the operations desk to check dates in Brighton and receive a written quote. Happy to advise on feasibility even if you end up not booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you support offshore operations in the South Coast region?

Yes. We partner with Cinecraft for MCA-coded vessels that act as mobile launch and recovery platforms, which lets our pilots work several miles offshore tracking vessels or inspecting structures.

Do you coordinate with the vessel's skipper?

Yes. Given the skipper's contact we plan the passage and the shot list together, which is what makes the difference between a vessel that happens to be in frame and one that is positioned for the shot.

Can you work from shore rather than a vessel in Brighton?

Where the subject stays in range and there is a safe launch point, yes, and it costs less. Anything further out needs a vessel, and we will tell you honestly which the job requires.
