Boat Filming London in Brentford
Specialist over-water boat filming london at Brentford for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Brentford is a stretch of the tidal Thames our crews know well. That combination of aviation and marine crew is what makes over-water work practical rather than theoretical. If the shot is not achievable in the window you have, we will say so at the enquiry stage.
Magnetic interference near steel structures in Brentford is factored into the flight plan. High-zoom and thermal payloads cover structural inspection of piers, bridges and river walls. Time on site is agreed in advance so vessel and shore teams can plan around it.
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. We do not fly outside our permissions, whatever the production schedule says.
We retain the raw river capture in case you need to return to it later. Ask us about vessel support for Brentford, since we can arrange MCA-coded platforms through Cinecraft. We can hold a provisional tide window while you confirm internally.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you fly at night or in low light on the river?
Yes. Night and blue-hour work over the Thames is something we do regularly, with the lighting conditions and additional risk factored into the plan. Twilight often gives the strongest results on the tideway.
What does river work in Brentford 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 from the bank rather than a vessel in Brentford?
Often, yes, and it is usually cheaper. It depends on landowner permission, a clear take-off and landing area, and whether the subject stays within safe range from shore. We will tell you which approach the shot actually needs.
