Marine Coordination

Our Marine Coordination Services ensure efficient movement of personnel and utilization of vessels on your project.

Whether you have a project using 1 vessel and 1 location, or multiple vessels and locations, we are here to help.

 

Scouting & Film Services

 

Our many years of intensive experiences on Kauai means that we can seek out the perfect location for your shooting needs. We will not only help you locate the perfect environment but will also provide accurate tide charts, local knowledge of marine weather patterns, and we will advise you of the appropriate permits needed for the scenes being filmed.

We are fully familiar with scenic and accessible locations in the region that are popular with film productions. We also have wide expertise with locations that are not so easy to access, but have equally beautiful scenery. We can provide production planners with photos of various locations that may be suitable for a specific shoot. We also have crew members able to scout any location, no matter the distance or difficulty.
