Thames Towage Filming in Rotherhithe
Specialist over-water thames towage filming at Rotherhithe for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
If your project sits in Rotherhithe, we can plan and fly it with the river permissions already in place. 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. We quote per project, because a river job depends far more on access and tide than on the service name.
Flight planning in Rotherhithe accounts for wind funnelling along the river and around structures. Dual-operator setups let the pilot hold visual line of sight while the camera tracks independently. Battery and crew changes are planned around the window so nothing is lost mid-sequence.
We work to PLA requirements as a matter of course rather than as an afterthought. All river flights are logged and the records remain available for your own compliance file. Anything we cannot legally do on the river, we say before you book rather than after.
Raw material is handed over on the day, with edits, maps or reports inside 24 to 48 hours. Talk to our skippers before you commit. They will tell you quickly whether the shot is achievable. If the tides do not work for your deadline, we will tell you rather than string it out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you launch drones directly from boats in Rotherhithe?
Yes. Through our partnership with Cinecraft we have access to MCA-coded workboats and support vessels, and our pilots are experienced in launching and recovering from a moving deck.
Can you film moving vessels in Rotherhithe?
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.
Can you fly at night or in low light on the river?
Yes. Night and blue-hour work over the Thames is something we do regularly, with the lighting conditions and additional risk factored into the plan. Twilight often gives the strongest results on the tideway.
