Water-resistant drones built for marine conditions
Drone technology built for the water. At Perth Drone Centre, we deliver specialised marine services across Perth and WA for vessel inspections, port infrastructure, and aquaculture operations helping you get eyes on hard-to-reach areas without delay.
Drone Solutions for Ports, Vessels and Offshore Sites
Working in marine environments demands a unique skillset and the right equipment. At Perth Drone Centre, our water-resistant drones are purpose-built for coastal conditions, and our team is experienced in navigating wind, salt spray, and complex port spaces.
We specialise in land-based and coastal drone operations, including ports, shore-based vessels, aquaculture sites, and marine infrastructure. While offshore access can be challenging, we can support limited offshore projects on a case-by-case basis, depending on weather, site logistics, and safety requirements.

FAQs
Can drones fly over open water?
Yes, we use water-resistant drones designed specifically for coastal and marine environments. They’re safe to operate over open water near shorelines, even in light rain or mist.
What happens if it’s windy?
We regularly fly in coastal wind conditions. Our drones are stabilised and rated for higher wind tolerances, but we’ll assess conditions on the day to ensure safe, effective flights.
Can you fly in ports or near ships?
Yes. We hold the required CASA certifications and work with port authorities to gain clearance where needed. All flights are planned for maximum safety and compliance.
Are drones safe to use around cranes and large vessels?
With proper planning and line-of-sight monitoring, drones can operate safely around cranes, ships, and other port machinery. We conduct full risk assessments before each flight.
Do you offer marine inspections for aquaculture sites?
We do. Our team regularly captures aerial inspections of aquaculture pens, gear, and structures to assist with maintenance planning and site monitoring.
Can I get both photos and video in the same shoot?
Absolutely, our shoots are fully customisable. Just let us know what you need and we’ll tailor the session accordingly.
