Boat Filming London at Erith Reach
Specialist over-water boat filming london at Erith Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Our boat filming london team is authorised and equipped for operations at Erith Reach. Both riverbank and vessel-launched operations are available depending on the shot. The river rewards crews who know it; a stranger to this water loses the shot to the tide.
We check tide state, river traffic and bridge clearances before fixing a date at Erith Reach. RTK platforms are available where the deliverable is a measurement rather than an image. We keep the ground and deck footprint small so the operation stays clear of working crews.
Our crews hold marine VHF and stay in contact with river traffic while the aircraft is airborne. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations. Privacy on the bank is considered in the flight plan, not left to the edit.
We retain the raw river capture in case you need to return to it later. We are trusted on the river by operators including CPBS Marine Services, MMS Marine and the Dutch Master. Quotes are fixed, not estimates that drift once the job starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you carry out structural inspections on Thames bridges and piers?
Yes. We fly high-zoom and thermal payloads for close-range condition surveys of bridges, piers, river walls and marine civil works, and can deliver the output as an annotated report or georeferenced imagery.
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.
Can you film moving vessels at Erith Reach?
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.
