Florida Keys
Florida Keys Film Boat.
The Keys give you the water everyone wants and the logistics nobody budgets for. Sanctuary zones, thin water, long runs between locations, and a crew four hours from the nearest rental house. The Basilisk mobilizes down and works the whole chain.
Included
What you get
- —Range from Key Largo to the Marquesas, with offshore capability beyond.
- —Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary permitting coordinated as part of the shoot plan.
- —A self-contained rig — crane, wireless video, DIT suite and colour on board, because there is nothing to rent down there.
- —A captain who reads thin water and knows which flats you cannot cross at which tide.
- —The Flat Water Guarantee, which matters more in the Keys than anywhere else on the calendar.
The Reframe
Self-contained is not a luxury down here
In Miami, a failure is an inconvenience — somebody drives to a rental house. In the Keys, a failed monitor or a dead transmitter is the day. The nearest replacement is three hours north and your permit window closes at sunset.
The Basilisk carries its own colour suite, its own wireless video, its own crane and its own aerial and underwater units. That is not about convenience. It is about a production two hours offshore having no single point of failure that ends the shoot.
FAQ
Questions
Do you travel to the Florida Keys for shoots?+
Yes. The Basilisk operates the Keys from Key Largo to the Marquesas as part of its standard range, and mobilizes with full logistics support for multi-day Keys productions.
Do you handle marine sanctuary permits in the Keys?+
Yes. Florida Keys sanctuary-zone permitting is coordinated as part of shoot planning, alongside USCG and Biscayne National Park permits where the production crosses jurisdictions.
What happens if weather closes a Keys shoot day?+
The Flat Water Guarantee applies. If the captain determines your scheduled window is unsafe or unshootable on weather or sea state, the day reschedules at no additional day rate.
