Jetty, pier, marina and deck locations on Caribbean islands for film and photo productions

Caribbean location scouts for marinas, piers, jetties, decks for photographic fashion shoots, commercial movie productions

Pier structures are often referred to as jetties and they are commonly used for pedestrian access and for tying boats or ships. But piers, jetties as well as decks and marinas in the Caribbean are also used as shoot locations for photographic and film industries as they are providing dramatic backgrounds for fashion shoots and movie scenes. We had been using big harbor piers for filming TV series playing on and off cruise ships, smaller jetties for commercial shoots and fashion shootings as well as for music videos.

Every Caribbean island has a selection of jetties and piers in various sizes, shapes and materials and they are regularly used as filming locations and locations for photo shootings. Favorites are the weather beaten wooden piers for fashion photo catalogue productions, mainly for their swimwear and casual summer collection shoots.
There are quite a few of those small picturesque "hand made" wooden jetties around, often with colorful fishing boats tied to the scruffy wooden poles with used up ropes, which give any fashion shoot a romantic feel.
But they are seen as well as popular film locations in "Pirates of the Caribbean'' movies. Some of the pier locations have interesting backdrops of close by or far away islands and some of them have infinity sea and sky in the background.
Lots of sea side locations for movies, television and commercial films are stone pier structures, steel jetties or massive cement structured piers and jetties to be found in big harbors for cruise ships like the one's from Royal Caribbean cruise liners or for container ships.
The jetties and piers in Caribbean marinas are also popular locations in motion picture productions and elegant fashion photography to access luxury yachts and big sailing boats. Most of Caribbean marinas are located in St. Martin. Because of its geographical location within the Caribbean island region it is a safe haven for yachts and sailing boats of all sizes in case of storms in the region. It therefore is also a great place for media productions that require boats and yachts as locations or props. There is an immense selection available of new and old, big and small yachts and sailing boats in all price ranges.
Wooden decks are often an extension of marinas or they are built for sunbathing or to relax on sun loungers near hotel swimming pools.
