On listing sites, a boat photographed with a phone from the dock disappears among hundreds of others. An aerial sequence of the boat under way, a top-down view showing the condition of the deck, and a smooth video walkthrough completely change how a buyer sees the vessel - and the price they are prepared to discuss. I offer this service to owners selling privately, to brokers and to marine businesses across the region.
My distinctive advantage: I am also an inspection diver. The combined package - aerial drone imagery plus a documented underwater inspection - produces a listing file very few sellers can offer: the buyer sees the boat above and below the waterline. Immediate trust, shorter negotiation.

Frequently asked questions
Why use drone photos to sell my boat?
Because they show what no dockside photo can: the boat's lines, the condition of the deck, the setting of the mooring and the vessel in motion. Listings with aerial imagery stand out immediately and attract more serious buyers.
How soon do I receive the images?
Within a few days of the shoot: sorted, edited high-resolution files ready for your listing, your broker or social media. Urgent timelines can be arranged - just mention it when you get in touch.
Are drone flights regulated?
Yes. Operations are planned in accordance with Transport Canada rules for remotely piloted aircraft: checking restricted airspace, distance from people and structures, and wind conditions. That is also why a site review is done before each shoot.
Do you cover marinas and boating events?
Yes: promotional coverage of marinas, regattas and boating events, with the organization's agreement. A flight plan and any required authorizations are arranged in advance.
What is the combined drone and underwater package?
A complete listing file: aerial imagery of the boat plus a documented underwater visual inspection (hull, propellers, anodes). The buyer sees everything, above and below - a selling point almost nobody else in the region offers.
