Thames Marine Civil Filming at Greenwich Reach
Specialist over-water thames marine civil filming at Greenwich Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
We run drone operations at Greenwich Reach throughout the year, in all tide states. We supply broadcast media, survey data and structural inspection imagery from the same operating base. Tell us the deadline early, because the tide table, not the diary, usually sets the date.
Flight planning at Greenwich Reach accounts for wind funnelling along the river and around structures. Cinema, inspection and mapping payloads can all be flown on the same tide window. Light on the water changes fast, so we will suggest the state of tide and time of day that suits the subject.
Where the Greenwich Reach flight affects navigation, we coordinate directly with vessel operators. Emergency landing points are identified on the bank or on a vessel before take-off, never improvised. 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 Greenwich Reach, since we can arrange MCA-coded platforms through Cinecraft. The quickest route is a short email with the location, the subject and the deadline.

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.
Can you launch from the bank rather than a vessel at Greenwich 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.
Are you insured for flying over water?
Yes. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations, and can provide the certificate along with our CAA authorisation and a job-specific risk assessment before booking.
