The Coastal Bundle is built specifically for day trip and water taxi companies. It includes 45 photos, 3 aerial photos, 3 aerial video clips, and 25 short video clips for social media — a complete content set for your website, listings, and feeds.
-
It's created for day trip and water taxi operators in the Virgin Islands — businesses that need a steady stream of high-quality visuals to showcase the guest experience and keep bookings coming year after year.
-
Yes. You can choose from any of our à la carte services — professional photos, aerial photos and video, promo videos, and promo videos with models — and we'll tailor a package to your business. Discounts are available when you bundle media services together.
-
Unless specifically requested, we typically shoot with faux guests as long as we capture what an actual trip entails to produce authentic lifestyle content of guests enjoying the experience.
-
Our photos capture both the sleek design and comfort of your boat and the unforgettable experiences guests enjoy onboard — the full story of a day on the water, not just the vessel itself.
-
Short-form vertical clips are the fuel your Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook feeds need. Instead of recycling the same few photos, you get 25 ready-to-use clips of your boat, your guests, and the scenery — enough to keep your social presence active and engaging for weeks.
-
We'll work with you to either reschedule the full shoot if the conditions are not suitable for a shoot, such as consistent pouring rain or total cloud cover. Living in the USVI, we understand how unpredictable the forecast can be days away, so we don't charge to reschedule for weather or instances out of your control.
-
The 25 social clips are short, individual moments for ongoing posting. A promo video is a single polished piece that blends aerial and onboard footage into one dynamic edit with music and optional text overlays — built to be the centerpiece video on your website and ads.
-
A promo video combines aerial perspectives with immersive onboard footage to highlight your boat's features, layout, and the experience of cruising through the Virgin Islands. It's professionally edited and includes music with optional text overlays.
-
Final edited photos and videos from our Bundles are delivered within 24-48 hours of your shoot. You'll receive via email a private gallery link where you can download originals in a web-optimized format. Note: Promo videos can take 5-7 days for delivery.
-
Yes — the Coastal Bundle includes 3 aerial photos and 3 aerial video clips, captured by an FAA Part 107 licensed pilot. Aerial footage showcases your boat underway or anchored in crystal-clear water, combining the beauty of the Virgin Islands with your vessel for imagery that instantly draws attention.
-
Yes. Your drone operator will be FAA Part 107 certified. Hiring an unlicensed operator can put your business at risk.
-
Aerial coverage is condition-dependent — we won't fly in unsafe weather or restricted airspace. If conditions don't cooperate on your scheduled day, we'll work out the best way to still capture your aerial content.
-
Yes — we're a full media and marketing company. Beyond photography and video, we build custom charter websites (with one year of minor maintenance included), provide SEO so guests find you before competitors, manage Google Ads, and design logos, flyers, and brochures for print or digital. These services are discounted when bundled with a media package.
-
When you book a shoot with us, you get a license to use the delivered photos and video across your listing platforms, your own website, your social media accounts, and your printed marketing materials. However, the media cannot be sold or transferred to another party to use without them purchasing a license prior to use. Per our Website Terms of Use, MEDIABOOST.VI retains copyright on all content, and use beyond what's covered in your license agreement requires written consent. If you're unsure whether a specific use is covered, just ask.
