🛟 **On-Shoot Marine Safety**
Experienced marine crews, safety boats, divers and support teams working behind the scenes to keep cast, crew and equipment safe on the water.

⚓ **Temporary Piers & Marine Access**
Need access somewhere there isn't any? We've even **built temporary piers** to make a shoot possible.

🎥 **Equipment Loading & Unloading**
Cameras, lighting, sound, grip equipment, props and specialist gear — getting everything safely from land to boat, boat to location and back again.

🎬 THE RIGHT LOCATION CAN MAKE THE SHOT.

Recently, the 5 Star Marine Productions team was out scouting locations for an upcoming shoot.

We had the brief.
We knew what the production team needed.
And thanks to our local knowledge, we knew where to start looking.

The result? 👀

We found a stunning island that already has the perfect natural backdrop for exactly what they want to shoot. 🌴🎥🌊

That’s the advantage of working with a production team that actually knows Phuket, Phang Nga and the surrounding islands.

Google Maps can show you an island.

Local knowledge can show you THE island.

We know the hidden beaches, remote islands, limestone cliffs, jungle locations, fishing villages, bays and viewpoints — and importantly, we understand how to actually get a production crew, equipment and talent there safely and efficiently.

From the initial brief and location scouting through to permits, logistics, marine coordination and full production support, 5 Star Marine Productions can help find the right location for your next project in Thailand.

🎬 Got a brief? Send it over.

We might already know exactly where you need to shoot.
