Boat Filming London in Rotherhithe

Specialist over-water boat filming london at Rotherhithe for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.

Recent Work

Selected work from across London and the Thames.

We run drone operations in Rotherhithe throughout the year, in all tide states. Projects run from a two-hour tide window to a scheduled programme across a construction phase. Repeat work in Rotherhithe keeps the same crew wherever scheduling allows.

Where the Rotherhithe flight passes near bridges or moorings, we plan clearances and abort routes first. Output can be broadcast-ready ProRes, high-bitrate RAW, or georeferenced survey data. We keep the ground and deck footprint small so the operation stays clear of working crews.

We keep the river authorities informed from planning through to the end of the flight. Emergency landing points are identified on the bank or on a vessel before take-off, never improvised. If the airspace or the PLA position makes the job impossible, you hear it at the enquiry stage.

Rushes can go out the same evening where a broadcast deadline requires it. Tell us what you need on the water and we will come back with options, tides and a price. We can point you at Thames projects where we have done something similar.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

What does river work in Rotherhithe 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.

What deliverables can you provide from Rotherhithe?

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.
