Coastal Drone Surveys in Edinburgh
Professional, sea-safe coastal drone surveys in Edinburgh supporting shipping, yachts, and coastal structures.
Operations in Edinburgh combine aviation licensing with genuine seagoing experience. Projects run from single-vessel commissions to scheduled inspection programmes. Early starts are normal, because the calmest water is usually the earliest water.
Where the Edinburgh target is offshore, we plan the vessel as carefully as the flight. RTK-equipped platforms deliver centimetre-accurate mapping of quays, defences and foreshore. We can work outside normal hours where tide, traffic or light demands it.
Any flight inside Edinburgh harbour limits is cleared with the authority before the crew arrives. Method statements can be supplied for the principal contractor's file where required. Our marine risk assessments are written to be read, not to satisfy a filing requirement.
If sea state or wind closes the window, we rebook the next viable slot at no extra cost. Contact our marine desk to discuss the logistics of coastal drone surveys in Edinburgh. Quotes are fixed, not estimates that drift once the vessel is booked.

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.
How much notice do you need for work in Edinburgh?
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.
What happens if the weather closes the window in Edinburgh?
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.
