Maritime Video Production
Solent Sky Services are specialists in maritime video production, operating from Portsmouth on the Solent — one of the UK's busiest and most iconic stretches of water.
Our maritime services include drone filming, live event broadcast, yacht and sailing photography, port and harbour filming, vessel documentation, and maritime media for commercial and broadcast clients.
The Solent provides a unique backdrop for maritime video production — from busy commercial shipping lanes to world-class sailing events such as the Clipper Round the World Race.
Our team are experienced in filming on and around the water, with a strong understanding of tidal conditions, vessel movements, and the operational demands of maritime environments.
Maritime video production clients include production companies, sailing events, port authorities, maritime businesses, and broadcast teams.

"I was introduced to Michael in December 2019, and since then we’ve collaborated on multiple projects—both through Montserrat Events CIC and via third-party referrals. The quality of Michael’s work is consistently exceptional. From outstanding photography and drone footage to his creative eye and expert editing, he delivers polished, engaging content that captures the energy and atmosphere of each event, product, service, or brand. His work has played a key role in showcasing our events at their best. Highly recommended."
