Commercial Vessel Filming in Cardiff
Professional, sea-safe commercial vessel filming in Cardiff supporting shipping, yachts, and coastal structures.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
We fly commercial vessel filming in the harbours, approaches and offshore waters around Cardiff. Coverage extends from inside the harbour limits out to offshore structures. Tell us the deadline early, because the forecast, not the diary, sets the date.
Operations in Cardiff are timed to avoid conflict with commercial shipping movements. Float kits and redundant airframes are used where the risk profile justifies them. Time on site is agreed in advance so vessel and shore teams can plan around it.
Port security, harbour control and vessel operators in Cardiff are briefed ahead of the flight. We plan safety bubbles that account for both marine and recreational traffic nearby. We would rather lose the window and rebook than fly a marginal offshore sortie.
Where a weather window is short, we plan the shot list so nothing needs a second mobilisation. Send the vessel or structure details and we will come back with options and a price. If the forecast will not serve your deadline, we will tell you rather than string it out.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Do you carry out structural inspections of port infrastructure?
Yes. We fly high-zoom and thermal payloads for close-range condition survey of quays, jetties, coastal defences and offshore structures, delivered as annotated reports or georeferenced imagery.
What happens if the weather closes the window in Cardiff?
We monitor maritime forecasts in the days beforehand and will tell you early if it looks unworkable. If conditions make the operation unsafe we rebook the next viable window at no additional cost.
