Boat Filming London in Battersea
Specialist over-water boat filming london at Battersea for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Battersea is a stretch of the tidal Thames our crews know well. Our pilots hold marine radio and work directly alongside skippers during the flight. Repeat work in Battersea keeps the same crew wherever scheduling allows.
Operations in Battersea are timed to the tide and to gaps in commercial river traffic. Platforms are chosen for wind resilience and over-water redundancy rather than convenience. Battery and crew changes are planned around the window so nothing is lost mid-sequence.
We work to PLA requirements as a matter of course rather than as an afterthought. All river flights are logged and the records remain available for your own compliance file. Abort criteria are briefed to the crew and the skipper before the first launch.
If weather or tide closes the window, we rebook the next viable slot at no extra cost. Tell us what you need on the water and we will come back with options, tides and a price. Terms, marine insurance and permissions can all be reviewed before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need Port of London Authority approval to fly in Battersea?
Any professional drone operation on the tidal Thames, including Battersea, requires notification to and coordination with the PLA and London VTS. UAS London manages those clearances as part of the service.
What does river work in Battersea 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 launch drones directly from boats in Battersea?
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.
