A Photo & Film Production Charter
A vessel as a location, a crew briefed to disappear. Editorial, fashion, brand or feature.
We charter to fashion houses, editorial teams, brand campaigns and feature productions a handful of times each season. The yacht is the location — the crew, the marina logistics and the on-water positioning are part of what we provide.
We've supplied set for Vogue, Vanity Fair, two German luxury brands and one feature film. The brief we work to: arrival 06:00, breakfast at 06:30, golden hour from 06:45, on the water by 07:30, full day of shooting, golden-hour return.

Suggested yachts
Built for this kind of day.
35.0 mFriendship
115ft Benetti — the flagship of the fleet. Refit in 2019, full-beam master suite, four further guest cabins, and a sundeck built for shaded dining at twelve. A crew of six runs the boat as a household: chef, two stewards, captain, two engineers. Built for weeks aboard, not days.
31.0 mDark Knight
102ft Leopard with twin MTUs, 26 knots flat. Built for owners who'd rather arrive than cruise — Formentera in forty minutes, Mallorca before lunch. Twelve guests across five staterooms; a crew of four who've been aboard since the 2023 refit.
31.0 mLa Romana
Sister hull to Dark Knight, refit 2024. Same Leopard 102 chassis, same twin MTUs — finished in warm teak and cream. Flybridge jacuzzi, foredeck sun pads, a tender lift that handles 4.2m. Quieter at speed than the original.
30.2 mLady KC
99ft Maiora with zero-speed stabilisers — comfortable at anchor in any swell. Flybridge jacuzzi, sun beds, sound system, and a full provisioning package included: seabob, jet ski, paddleboards, drinks. The reliable choice for guests who value stillness over speed.

Questions we hear
Most-asked.
Do you handle commercial-use permits?+
Partially. We secure marina and anchorage permissions; the production is responsible for talent releases, music clearances and any drone permits. Our local fixer can coordinate.
Can we charter for a single day?+
Yes — most productions we host are 1–3 days. Tech recce on the evening before; shoot on the main day; backup day held on standby.
