Boat Filming London at Corney Reach
Specialist over-water boat filming london at Corney Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
If your project sits at Corney Reach, we can plan and fly it with the river permissions already in place. The work ranges from single vessel shoots to multi-day coverage of marine civil projects. We are used to working alongside vessel crews, ground units and marshals already on site.
Operations at Corney Reach are timed to the tide and to gaps in commercial river traffic. We carry redundant airframes so a marginal weather window is not a wasted mobilisation. Where the site is a live wharf or works, we operate to the principal contractor's permit system.
Coordination with the Port of London Authority is standard on every flight at Corney Reach. Risk assessments for river work are site-specific and account for tide, traffic and public access. We do not fly outside our permissions, whatever the production schedule says.
Deliverables come in the format your editorial or engineering team already works in. Ask us about vessel support for Corney Reach, since we can arrange MCA-coded platforms through Cinecraft. There is no obligation attached to an enquiry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you launch from the bank rather than a vessel at Corney Reach?
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.
How does the tide affect a shoot at Corney Reach?
Tide decides what is visible, what is navigable and where we can launch and recover. We plan Corney Reach operations around the tide table first and build the shot list around the window that gives you the best water.
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.
