Offshore Drone Inspections in Brighton

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

Recent Work

Selected work from across London and the Thames.

We fly offshore drone inspections in the harbours, approaches and offshore waters around Brighton. Briefs come from marine contractors, brokers, port operators and production companies. Tell us the deadline early, because the forecast, not the diary, sets the date.

We check tidal windows, vessel schedules and forecast sea state before fixing a date in Brighton. RTK-equipped platforms deliver centimetre-accurate mapping of quays, defences and foreshore. Where the subject is under way, the shot is planned around its passage, not ours.

Clearances for Brighton are arranged in advance, including any restricted-area permissions. Emergency ditch and recovery procedures are agreed with the vessel skipper before launch. We do not fly outside our permissions, whatever the vessel schedule demands.

Rushes can go out the same evening where a deadline requires it. Talk to us early: the South Coast weather window often decides the schedule, not the crew. Happy to advise on feasibility even if you end up not booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you insured for marine operations?

Yes. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover marine and over-water flight, and can supply the certificate, our CAA authorisation and a job-specific risk assessment before booking.

How much notice do you need for work in Brighton?

Port clearances and the weather window both drive the lead time, so a week or two is comfortable. Offshore work depends heavily on the forecast, so tell us the deadline and we will be straight with you about the odds.

How do you ensure safety when flying over sea water?

We use redundant airframes with float kits where appropriate, and every flight plan sets geofenced return-to-home limits that account for wind drift, sea state and a moving launch point.
