Specialist over-water thames marine civil filming at Pool of London (Upper and Lower) for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
We work at Pool of London (Upper and Lower) regularly, and river operations are the core of what we do. Our crews pair CAA-licensed drone pilots with working river skippers who read tide, traffic and weather off the water rather than off a map. Small jobs are welcome; a single vessel pass is as valid a brief as a week of coverage.
Planning at Pool of London (Upper and Lower) starts with the tide window, because it decides what is even possible. Output can be broadcast-ready ProRes, high-bitrate RAW, or georeferenced survey data. Flights are kept tight, because on the river loiter time costs you the tide rather than buying better footage.
Coordination with the Port of London Authority is standard on every flight at Pool of London (Upper and Lower). Our pilots hold advanced CAA permissions covering congested river corridors and historic crossings. Moorings, houseboats and riverside residents are given notice where the operation warrants it.
If weather or tide closes the window, we rebook the next viable slot at no extra cost. Tell us what you need on the water and we will come back with options, tides and a price. Ask for examples of comparable river work and we will send them over.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
What does river work at Pool of London (Upper and Lower) 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 film moving vessels at Pool of London (Upper and Lower)?
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.
