Maritime filming in Whitstable Harbour

Whitstable made its seafood famous, and its working harbour, oyster boats and the wind farm on the horizon all make good films from the water.

Filming in Whitstable

Whitstable’s harbour is still a working one, with oyster and fishing boats, and the town has made its seafood famous. The Oyster Festival in July, the Street at low tide and the wind farm on the horizon all make good films. Kent is regular water for us.

What we film here

  • Oyster and fishing businesses at work
  • The harbour and its traders
  • Festivals and seafront events
  • Wind farm vessels off the coast
  • Tourism and hospitality from the water

We bring the camera boat, the skipper, the camera and drone crew, and the permissions. Raw files arrive within 48 hours, or we cut the finished film.

Drones. Whitstable is clear of restricted airspace. The seafront is busy on fine days, so flights are planned around the people below.

Need a boat for your own crew instead? See film boat hire here. More on filming for marine businesses.
