Luxe Boating’s CHRISTINA FOR FILM & TV — FULL DAY places purpose‑built filming boats and a seasoned marine crew where production work meets water: the River Thames and private lakes around Reading. Backed by more than 15 years of Film & TV experience, the package combines specialist vessels, bespoke props and on‑water coordination so a production can move from high‑speed chase sequences to quiet riverside plates with professional continuity and support.

THE FLEET

Purpose‑built action boats and specialist vessels

Luxe fields an unrivalled fleet of classic and specialist boats built or adapted for camera work, giving production teams platforms engineered for speed, stability and filming rigs.

THE LOCATIONS

River Thames access and private lakes

The full‑day charter includes access to both the River Thames and private lakes, allowing shoots to switch between open river runs and secluded, controlled water locations.

THE SUPPORT

Marine crew, props and end‑to‑end logistics

Luxe supplies nautical props and specialist marine filming support and manages transport, logistics and coordination so crews can focus on the shoot rather than onshore‑to‑water handoffs.

What the day feels like

What a full day on Christina feels like

Over a 10‑hour day the Christina functions as a mobile production base: boats are configured with bespoke props and camera platforms, the crew stages river runs or static lakeside setups, and the operator synchronises movement and safety so directors can time takes for speed, framing and continuity across water environments.
