Boat Filming London at Barn Elms Reach
Specialist over-water boat filming london at Barn Elms Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
We work at Barn Elms Reach regularly, and river operations are the core of what we do. Projects run from a two-hour tide window to a scheduled programme across a construction phase. Where a brief covers several reaches, we plan them into one run down the river.
We identify launch and recovery points at Barn Elms Reach that work at the state of tide on the day. Capture is in RAW throughout, leaving headroom for grading or photogrammetric processing. Time on site is agreed in advance so vessel and shore teams can plan around it.
Riparian landowners and pier operators at Barn Elms Reach are contacted ahead of the date. Risk assessments for river work are site-specific and account for tide, traffic and public access. Anything we cannot legally do on the river, we say before you book rather than after.
Delivery is by secure cloud transfer with the raw capture archived as backup. We are trusted on the river by operators including CPBS Marine Services, MMS Marine and the Dutch Master. We are straightforward about what the river will and will not allow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does river work at Barn Elms Reach cost?
It depends on tide windows, whether vessel support is needed and what you want delivered, so we quote per project. Send the brief and the deadline and we will come back with a fixed price and the viable tides.
Do you carry out structural inspections on Thames bridges and piers?
Yes. We fly high-zoom and thermal payloads for close-range condition surveys of bridges, piers, river walls and marine civil works, and can deliver the output as an annotated report or georeferenced imagery.
Are you insured for flying over water?
Yes. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations, and can provide the certificate along with our CAA authorisation and a job-specific risk assessment before booking.
