Offshore Drone Inspections in Plymouth

Professional, sea-safe offshore drone inspections in Plymouth 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 Plymouth. Coverage extends from inside the harbour limits out to offshore structures. If the conditions in the window you have will not allow the shot, we say so at enquiry stage.

Launch and recovery points around Plymouth are chosen for the conditions expected on the day. Capture is RAW throughout so the material survives grading or photogrammetric processing. We bring spare airframes; offshore is the wrong place for a single point of failure.

Notifications to the coastguard are made where the Plymouth operation warrants it. We plan safety bubbles that account for both marine and recreational traffic nearby. Nothing launches until the paperwork, the passage plan and the brief agree with each other.

If sea state or wind closes the window, we rebook the next viable slot at no extra cost. Tell us the Plymouth brief and we will confirm what the conditions realistically allow. There is no obligation attached to an enquiry.

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.

How long does a marine mobilisation to Plymouth 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.

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.
