The rules on the coast
Restrictions on the coast are patchy rather than total. Naples is almost entirely inside drone zones because of Capodichino airport (about 36% of the municipality needs an authorisation from ground level), while in Salerno only about 9% does. Between them, helipads, marine protected areas and nature reserves create local zones that change from bay to bay.
The bigger issue is people: beaches, harbours and village streets are crowded for most of the year, and flying over crowds is always forbidden. Many of the best shots are taken from the sea, with take-off and landing from a boat.
What it means for your shoot
- Check each location on D-Flight: two neighbouring villages may have different rules
- Prefer early mornings and off-season dates
- Marine protected areas may need the authority’s consent
- Ferries, helicopters and seaplanes share the airspace near the islands
- Local Police and the Harbour Office should be informed for flights from boats
How long does it take?
Shoots outside restricted zones can be organised within days; flights near Naples or inside protected areas need more time. Tell us your locations and we will map them for you.
Shots that work well
- Villages clinging to the cliffs
- Yachts and coves from the sea
- Terraced lemon groves and coastal roads
- The Gulf of Naples with Vesuvius
How we work with foreign crews
We can fly for you with our own crew and drones, or support your team on the ground: location scouting, permits, safety plan and liaison with the Local Police and the Prefecture. Everything is handled in English, with one point of contact.

Kenneth CessnaFacebook reviewFlying a drone in Amalfi Coast: FAQ
Can I fly a drone in Positano or Amalfi?
Some areas are outside D-Flight zones, but crowds, private property and local rules often limit flights. Check each spot and never fly over people.
Can you film from a boat?
Yes, we take off and land from boats regularly; it is often the best way to film the coast.
We are a foreign crew with our own drone pilot. Can you help?
Yes. We can fly for you with our crew and equipment, or support your pilot. Operators from other EU/EASA countries flying under a standard scenario must send ENAC a copy of their declaration; those holding an operational authorisation must apply to ENAC for cross-border operations at least 60 days in advance (current fee: €353 plus stamp duty). Pilots from outside the EU need EU certificates: national licences are not recognised. Working with us usually removes all of this.
