Picturesque views, the undisturbed canvas of Sydney harbour, where could be a better place for a photoshoot? Boats have always been a popular location of choice for the photography and film industries. From glamorous modelling shoots to adrenaline fuelled movie scenes, the water paints a unique set-up for creating unforgettable moments.
The growing demand for photoshoots on the water
The demand for boat hire in the photography and film industry has grown in recent years, alongside technology and social media development. However, it’s not just celebrities, film directors or modelling companies who are now searching for the spotlight on the water. Spotting a photographer budding up with a newlywed’s cruise, or an influencer balancing a glass of champagne and vlogging equipment in hand, is becoming a growing occurrence on Sydney harbour. As the use for online platforms continues to grow, so do the customer requests for commercial and private (wedding, anniversary, family) photoshoots on the water.
Sail to undisturbed and discrete photography locations
Location opportunities are endless when choosing a boat, sailboat, catamaran or Superyacht for a photoshoot. Away from the disruptive crowds of the city, film and photography crews can sail to several locations and capture beautiful scenery, anchor at discreet spots and make full use of the boat facilities for additional footage. If you’re searching for private spaces along the coastline, beaches are easily accessible by boat, yet restricted by land, making foot traffic low and photography opportunities high! The Any Boat team are well versed on all the best spots around the harbour to meet your photography and film requirements. Pitch us an idea and let us take care of the coordinates!
Brands including Virgin, Gourmet Traveller and Warner Bros have all captured incredible marketing moments with us on the harbour. Private couples celebrate surprise engagement proposals, unique wedding photography, and special occasions.
