Day Rates
What a water day costs.
Most marine production quotes arrive as three invoices from three vendors and a fuel surcharge nobody warned you about. Here is ours, in one line item, before you call.

What moves the number.
- Shoot length. Half days exist. Multi-day blocks price down.
- Distance from home port. Biscayne Bay costs less than the Marquesas.
- Configuration count. One mode is cheaper than three.
- Night work. Permitting and safety coordination add crew.
- Camera package. We are a vessel and rig platform, not a camera rental — bring yours, or we coordinate with a Miami rental house.
What never moves.
The Flat Water Guarantee. If our captain calls your window unsafe or unshootable on weather or sea state, we reschedule at no additional day rate. You do not eat a wasted water day because the ocean did not cooperate. That is not a discount we negotiate — it is how every day is booked.
One vessel. One calendar. Miami dates inside 30 days book fastest — send your window before you lock your schedule.
