Coastal Drone Surveys in Felixstowe

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

Felixstowe is part of our regular East Coast Ports & Estuaries coverage for marine drone work. Briefs come from marine contractors, brokers, port operators and production companies. Stills, video and survey data can come out of one mobilisation rather than three.

Flights in Felixstowe are planned around tide, sea state and commercial traffic movements. Aircraft are chosen for wind resistance and over-water redundancy rather than convenience. Where the subject is under way, the shot is planned around its passage, not ours.

Notifications to the coastguard are made where the Felixstowe operation warrants it. We plan safety bubbles that account for both marine and recreational traffic nearby. We hold the separation the regulations require from anyone not under our control.

Rushes can go out the same evening where a deadline requires it. Ask about vessel support for Felixstowe, because offshore work usually needs it. Happy to advise on feasibility even if you end up not booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you film vessels under way near Felixstowe?

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.

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 long does a marine mobilisation to Felixstowe take?

Crew and kit can move quickly; the constraints are port clearance and the forecast. Once those are in hand we can usually be on site within a few days, and we will say up front if the timescale is unrealistic.
