Thames Marine Civil Filming in Kew
Specialist over-water thames marine civil filming at Kew for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Thames Marine Civil Filming in Kew is routine work for our Thames crews. The work ranges from single vessel shoots to multi-day coverage of marine civil projects. We quote per project, because a river job depends far more on access and tide than on the service name.
River work in Kew is planned against live traffic information, not a generic river chart. RTK platforms are available where the deliverable is a measurement rather than an image. Where bank access is restricted, we scout the approach before the crew and kit arrive.
Coordination with the Port of London Authority is standard on every flight in Kew. Documentation is available up front: permissions, marine insurance and the risk assessment. Moorings, houseboats and riverside residents are given notice where the operation warrants it.
Rushes can go out the same evening where a broadcast deadline requires it. We are trusted on the river by operators including CPBS Marine Services, MMS Marine and the Dutch Master. We are straightforward about what the river will and will not allow.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you manage wind and weather on the river?
The Thames corridor funnels wind and can be considerably rougher than the surrounding streets. We work to maritime forecasts and fly platforms rated to around 25 knots, so a marginal day does not automatically cost you the shoot.
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.
How does the tide affect a shoot in Kew?
Tide decides what is visible, what is navigable and where we can launch and recover. We plan Kew operations around the tide table first and build the shot list around the window that gives you the best water.
