UK Marine Drone Filming in Brighton

Professional, sea-safe UK marine drone filming in Brighton supporting shipping, yachts, and coastal structures.

Recent Work

Selected work from across London and the Thames.

We cover Brighton and the surrounding South Coast coast for UK marine drone filming. Typical briefs cover fleet photography, vessel tracking, harbour survey and offshore inspection. Where a brief covers several berths or structures, we plan them into a single mobilisation.

We plan Brighton flights against live port traffic rather than a static harbour chart. Capture is RAW throughout so the material survives grading or photogrammetric processing. Where the site is a working terminal, we operate to the port's permit-to-work system.

We handle port notifications, security permissions and VHF radio logs for Brighton ourselves. Documentation is available before booking: permissions, insurance and the risk assessment. Privacy and security on the port estate are considered in the flight plan.

Rushes can go out the same evening where a deadline requires it. Share the Brighton timescale and we will confirm availability against the forecast. Quotes are fixed, not estimates that drift once the vessel is booked.

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.

Can you film vessels under way near Brighton?

Yes. Vessel tracking is core to our marine work, from workboats and commercial shipping to yachts under sail. Dual-operator crews keep the pilot focused on proximity and drift while the camera holds the shot.

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.
