Bespoke packages, terms and conditions apply. Drone work only with a valid permit in place.
THREE ANGLES one hour
A chase boat runs alongside, so the hull is shot level and in motion, the frame brokers ask for first.
Only once the flight permit is granted for that place and that day. No permit, no flight, and the chase boat covers the exterior.
Interiors, the flybridge, the people on board. Shot last, when the low sun reaches inside.
DRONE by the law
We never fly without a permit. Ever.
Drone filming in Dubai is regulated, and Cover Page Agency treats it with zero tolerance for risk. No drone leaves the deck until every approval for that location, date and time is in place. If an approval does not arrive, the drone stays in its case and the exterior is shot from the water instead.
How we handle it, step by step:
- Brief. You tell us the boat, the route, the date and the hour you want.
- Check. We check the route against the restricted zones: airports, palaces, ports and protected areas.
- Apply. We prepare and submit the permit application to the aviation authority with the flight details, operator and pilot documents.
- Marina and owner. We obtain the written agreement of the marina and of the boat owner or charter operator.
- Confirm. We share the approval with you before the shoot day. No approval, no flight.
- Fly. A registered pilot flies within the approved time, area and height, with insurance in place.
We guide you through every step, so the application goes in early, complete and with the best chance of being granted on the date you need. Allow time: approvals are never rushed and never assumed.
THE GUIDE yacht photos
A yacht photo in Dubai is sold twice. Once to the guest who books a charter from a phone, and once to the buyer who flies in to see a boat already seen online. Cover Page Agency shoots for both.
The agency has produced photography in the UAE since 2015, with a second base near Milan, for charter operators, brokers, owners and brands that use a boat as a set.

The hour that sells the boat
Hulls are white and the Gulf sun is hard. Midday light flattens a yacht and burns the deck. The working window is the last hour before sunset and the first half hour after, when the hull warms and the interior lights read through the glass.
Cover Page Agency plans the route so the boat faces the sun at the right moment, with the Marina or the Palm behind it.
Drone at sea, permits first
Cover Page Agency never flies a drone without a permit in place. Every flight is approved by the aviation authority for that location, date and time, with the marina and the owner agreeing in writing.
We guide the client through the application so it is complete and early. Where a permit is not granted, the exterior is shot from the chase boat and the shoot goes ahead.
Salt, spray and a moving deck
A boat never stands still. Exteriors use fast shutter speeds and stabilised lenses; interiors are shot at the berth or at anchor. Lenses are sealed and cleaned between runs, because salt spray softens a frame before anyone notices.
What brokers and charter sites need
A listing set opens on a three quarter exterior at speed, then the flybridge, the main salon, the master cabin, every guest cabin, the galley and the swim platform. Files are delivered wide and sharp, named by deck and space, ready for listing sites.
What it costs, in plain figures
Yacht photography in Dubai with Cover Page Agency starts at AED 2,500 for the photo package with 100 edited photos. The video package is AED 3,900 and the photo and video pack AED 6,500. What moves the price: the size of the boat, a chase boat, permitted drone work, models on board and rush delivery. The quote is written before the shoot.
YACHT FAQ faq
How much does a yacht photographer cost in Dubai?
Cover Page Agency starts at AED 2,500 for the yacht photo package with 100 edited photos, AED 3,900 for video and AED 6,500 for photo and video. Boat size, a chase boat and permitted drone work move the quote, always in writing first.
Can you shoot a small boat or a speedboat?
Yes. Cover Page Agency shoots anything that floats, from a speedboat or a dhow to a catamaran, a flybridge yacht or a superyacht over 40 metres.
Do you fly drones over the yacht?
Only with a permit in place. Cover Page Agency never flies without approval from the aviation authority and the marina, and guides the client through the application so it is complete and early.

The drone does not fly. Cover Page Agency shoots the exterior from a chase boat instead, so the shoot goes ahead on the planned date.
