Boat Filming London at Battersea Reach
Specialist over-water boat filming london at Battersea Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Operations at Battersea Reach draw on both our aviation and our marine experience. We work for towage operators, passenger vessel companies, civil contractors and production teams. We are used to working alongside vessel crews, ground units and marshals already on site.
We survey the Battersea Reach bank and the water in advance to fix take-off, landing and contingency points. Output can be broadcast-ready ProRes, high-bitrate RAW, or georeferenced survey data. Where the subject is a moving vessel, the shot is planned around its passage, not ours.
We notify the PLA and maintain contact with London VTS throughout operations at Battersea Reach. All river flights are logged and the records remain available for your own compliance file. We hold the separation the regulations require from anyone not under our control.
Survey data from Battersea Reach is processed and returned within two working days. Tell us what you need on the water and we will come back with options, tides and a price. Tell us the deadline first, because on the river it decides almost everything else.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with the vessel operator directly?
Yes, and it makes a noticeable difference to the result. Given the skipper's contact we coordinate the passage and the shot list directly, so the vessel is where the camera needs it rather than the other way round.
How much notice do you need for river work at Battersea Reach?
More than for a land-based shoot, because PLA notification and the tide table both constrain the date. A week or two is comfortable; tell us the deadline and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.
Who owns the footage from the Battersea Reach shoot?
Licensing is agreed before the flight and written into the quote. Tell us whether the material is for broadcast, marketing, an operational record or a planning submission and we scope the licence accordingly.
