The Reframe
Built for the shot, not the sandbar
Most boats you can hire in Fort Lauderdale were built for a day out. They can carry a crew, but they can't hold a frame at speed, feed a director's monitor, or give a DIT anywhere dark to work.
The Basilisk was built for exactly that. One vessel, one captain, one invoice.
FAQ
Questions
Do you charge extra to shoot in Fort Lauderdale?+
Fort Lauderdale is inside the Basilisk's regular South Florida range. Distance from home port is one factor in the day rate, and your quote shows it in one line.
Can you shoot yachts on the Intracoastal and New River?+
Yes. The Basilisk works the Intracoastal, the canals and offshore, and coordinates the permits each location needs as part of shoot planning.
Does the boat include a camera package?+
No. The Basilisk is a vessel and rig platform. Bring your camera package, or we coordinate with a South Florida rental house.
