Boat hire for filming in Barcelona
Hire a boat with a professional skipper for film, commercials, music videos and photo shoots. Tell us what you need to capture and we’ll help you work out which boat fits your crew and shooting plan.
A boat that works for the shot
The boat can appear in the scene, serve as a location or give your crew a position from which to film the waterfront. We offer skippered boat hire from Port Olímpic for producers, agencies and photographers looking to shoot on the water in Barcelona.
The right choice depends on what the boat needs to do during the take. Your brief helps us assess deck space, how you’ll load your kit, the time required and how the boat needs to move. We confirm the boat, its capacity and the operating area in your proposal.
Boat options for your production
Picture boat
A boat in front of the camera or an on-board location for a film, series or commercial. Share the type of boat, the look you want and what the performers need to do on board.
Camera support boat
If you need to film another vessel or capture Barcelona’s skyline from the sea, send us the framing and movement you have in mind. The skipper will assess working distance, speed and conditions for the shot.
Photo shoots and music videos
Skippered boat hire for brand campaigns, editorial photography and music videos. Let us know your crew size, the kit you need to bring and any specific window for light.
How to plan a shoot on the water
Send your production brief
Include your date, timings, intended location, crew size, kit and priority shots. If you have visual references or a backup date, share those too.
We review the plan
We check availability and discuss the boat, boarding and planned manoeuvres with the skipper. We identify any details that need to be settled before you confirm the date.
Review your proposal
Check the boat, meeting point, duration and terms in your quote. Before departure we agree on the plan and how to respond if the sea forecast changes.
Questions about boat hire for filming
Can I hire a boat for a few hours of filming?
You can request the time your production needs. Let us know when you want to board, how long you need to set up and what flexibility the shoot requires. We’ll confirm the options for your date.
What camera equipment can we bring on board?
Send your kit list with case sizes and weights, and flag any tripods or mounts. The team and skipper will assess available space, loading and use on board before confirming.
What if we want to use a drone or shoot inside the marina?
Mention this in your enquiry so we can assess any effect on the boat plan. Your production should check the applicable requirements and coordinate any permissions with the people responsible for the location or operation.
What happens if sea conditions affect the shoot?
The skipper assesses whether navigation and the planned manoeuvres can be carried out safely. If conditions change, we discuss the options available under your proposal, such as a different route or time slot.
How much does it cost to hire a boat for filming?
Your quote depends on the boat, time on the water, operating area and what the boat needs to do for each shot. Share those details so we can set out what the proposal includes.
