Owen Marine Marketing has a fast chase boat based in the Solent area for customer support. The Fairey Swordsman, a classic 1968 all mahogany, race bred powerboat is the ideal platform for yacht photography and video shoots, the deep-v design providing a stable platform. Many clients route their yachts from northern Europe and from Channel ports though the Solent to allow Roy Roberts the opportunity to get the first underway images for PR and editorials.

Chase photography, whether from a fast motorboat or helicopter requires a thorough knowledge of boat and aircraft handling. Roy Roberts has had a fast motor yacht for marine photography (not the same one!) for over 20 years. Roy also held a fixed wing pilots licence for over 15 years with extensive helicopter flying. With helicopter work, this experience creates cost savings in helicopter time through clear and accurate instructions from the passenger area to the pilot.
