Thames Towage Filming in Barnes
Specialist over-water thames towage filming at Barnes for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
If your project sits in Barnes, we can plan and fly it with the river permissions already in place. Our crews pair CAA-licensed drone pilots with working river skippers who read tide, traffic and weather off the water rather than off a map. Early starts are normal here, because the best water and the best light rarely coincide with office hours.
We check tide state, river traffic and bridge clearances before fixing a date in Barnes. RTK platforms are available where the deliverable is a measurement rather than an image. Where the subject is a moving vessel, the shot is planned around its passage, not ours.
We keep the river authorities informed from planning through to the end of the flight. Failsafe return-to-home points account for drift, tide and a moving launch platform. Where the public has access to the foreshore, the plan accounts for them explicitly.
We retain the raw river capture in case you need to return to it later. We can assess the Barnes site before you book if the feasibility is not obvious. Most enquiries get a same-day response.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does river work in Barnes 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.
Can you film moving vessels in Barnes?
Yes. Vessel tracking is a large part of our river work, from towage and workboat operations to passenger craft. Dual-operator crews let the pilot manage proximity and line of sight while the camera operator holds the shot.
Can you launch drones directly from boats in Barnes?
Yes. Through our partnership with Cinecraft we have access to MCA-coded workboats and support vessels, and our pilots are experienced in launching and recovering from a moving deck.
