Boat Filming London in Putney
Specialist over-water boat filming london at Putney for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
We work in Putney regularly, and river operations are the core of what we do. That combination of aviation and marine crew is what makes over-water work practical rather than theoretical. We can attend a pre-start or toolbox meeting where the project requires one.
Planning in Putney starts with the tide window, because it decides what is even possible. We fly marine-configured aircraft rated for the wind speeds the river corridor regularly produces. We bring spare airframes; a single failure should not end a tide-limited shoot.
Any Putney operation is logged with the river authorities before the crew arrives. Ground safety on the bank, meaning cordons, pedestrian routes and marshals, is planned alongside the flight. Privacy on the bank is considered in the flight plan, not left to the edit.
If weather or tide closes the window, we rebook the next viable slot at no extra cost. Share the brief and we will confirm crew availability against the tide table the same day. There is no obligation attached to an enquiry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What deliverables can you provide from Putney?
Broadcast-ready video, high-resolution stills, georeferenced orthomosaics of the bank and foreshore, 3D models, or written inspection reports. Raw capture is handed over on the day and processed output follows within 24 to 48 hours.
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.
How does the tide affect a shoot in Putney?
Tide decides what is visible, what is navigable and where we can launch and recover. We plan Putney operations around the tide table first and build the shot list around the window that gives you the best water.
