Vessel "Far Side" serving San Francisco Bay

 

Camera Boat
"Far Side"

Below are some photos of filming a Chrysler commercial with Ritts Hayden. We had favorable results with a Wescam mounted on the bow (scroll down for more information.)

 

The fully licensed, safety inspected, and federally documented vessel “Far Side” is the only one of its kind. Designed by E.A. Drake of Seattle, and custom built in 1988 out of aluminum by Bel Mar Fabrication. Powered by a duel prop with a quiet 280 horsepower Volvo gas engine. It does 20 knots and is highly maneuverable. The 34 by 12-ft. craft is a very shippable at 10,000 pounds yet can carry five times its own weight.  There are 800 cubic feet of wet or dry cargo space and 350 square feet of deck area. A removable cabin and awning allow 360-degree camera work or access under bridges. The cabin has a heater, two bunks, and a galley. Other equipment includes a removable hydraulic mast and boom capable of lifting a ton over the side, a dive compressor, and 110-volt generator. The electronics package includes radar, global positioning plotter, and two color video sounders. Four modern radios provide two way communications on the marine, aviation, ham, citizens band, and every frequency between them. There is a cell phone and a laptop.

I charge $1200 per 12-hour day plus expenses for the boat and myself. 

If you need to see the boat, it is located at foot of Leavenworth in San Francisco. I’m a Coast Guard licensed operator with many years of worldwide experience. If you have any questions please call or email me anytime.
