Boat Filming London in Tilbury
Specialist over-water boat filming london at Tilbury for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Flying in Tilbury means working over moving water, tidal range and live vessel traffic. The work ranges from single vessel shoots to multi-day coverage of marine civil projects. The river rewards crews who know it; a stranger to this water loses the shot to the tide.
River work in Tilbury is planned against live traffic information, not a generic river chart. Platforms are chosen for wind resilience and over-water redundancy rather than convenience. Where the site is a live wharf or works, we operate to the principal contractor's permit system.
Any Tilbury operation is logged with the river authorities before the crew arrives. All river flights are logged and the records remain available for your own compliance file. If wind or river conditions turn on the day, the pilot's call is final.
Delivery is by secure cloud transfer with the raw capture archived as backup. Tell us what you need on the water and we will come back with options, tides and a price. If the tides do not work for your deadline, we will tell you rather than string it out.

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.
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.
What deliverables can you provide from Tilbury?
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.
