Solent Ships is operated from Town Quay, the Old Town quarter of Southampton, where the Mayflower departed 400 years ago.

Utilising various cameras our small crew are dedicated in providing a window onto our historic waterfront in the Solent region. The 'Captain' of our crew is a licenced drone pilot and day skipper, with an added passion for photography.

This channel has a large library of drone footage, documenting (with commentary) the various vessels that sail by one of the busiest Ports in the UK.
