Considered output for the considered yacht.

Surge Studio creates cinematic film, editorial photography and social-first content for superyachts, shaped around the way each vessel is chartered, sold and experienced. From charter promotion and sales campaigns to onboard guest content and ongoing social media output, every project is built with a clear purpose: to present the yacht with the same level of care, restraint and detail found on board.

Common questions

What brokers ask.

  • What's a typical turnaround for a charter film?

    A standard charter film is usually delivered within three to four weeks from the final shoot day, depending on the scale of the project and the agreed deliverables. This includes editing, colour grade, sound, export and two rounds of refinements. Urgent two-week turnarounds can be arranged in advance where the schedule allows.

  • Where do you shoot?

    Worldwide. Surge Studio works with yachts across the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Pacific and beyond. Travel, logistics and production requirements are discussed during the briefing stage and included clearly within the project quote.

  • Do you shoot on-board with your own crew?

    Yes. We scale the crew to suit the project — from a single operator when a light, discreet approach is best, through to a fully crewed production for larger charter, sales or campaign work.

    Surge Studio is built on years of experience producing high-end commercial, documentary and branded content, giving us access to trusted cinematographers, photographers, drone operators, editors and production crew when a project requires a larger team. Every production is planned around the yacht’s schedule, privacy and operation on board.

  • What licence comes with the deliverables?

    Deliverables include a non-exclusive licence for yacht marketing, charter promotion, brokerage listings, website use and social media. Larger commercial campaigns, broadcast use or third-party advertising can be licensed separately. Surge Studio retains the right to use selected work for portfolio purposes unless agreed otherwise before the shoot.

  • What's the deliverable format?

    Films are delivered in high-resolution master formats alongside web-ready versions for websites, brokerage platforms and social media. Photography is supplied as high-resolution edited selects and web-optimised JPEGs through a private gallery. Review links are provided during the edit process for feedback and approvals.
