Montego Bay: Clear Kayak Drone Photoshoot & Private Pickup

Summary

Montego Bay’s clear kayak photoshoot blends turquoise water, laughter, and drone shots for memories you’ll actually want to share

You’ll step into Montego Bay’s clear water for a private kayak photoshoot with a local photographer guiding you through every moment — from sandy toes to drone-captured smiles. Expect laughter, warmth, and edited photos delivered after your day on Jamaica’s coast. It’s less about perfect poses and more about feeling part of the scene.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll be honest — I almost bailed when I realized I’d have to wade out through the shallows at Doctor’s Cave Beach. My flip-flop got stuck in the sand (classic), so I arrived at the clear kayak with one soggy foot and a sheepish grin. Our photographer, Andre, just laughed and handed me a towel — “No worries, happens every day.” That kind of set the tone: relaxed, no pressure. The water was warm even at my ankles, with that faint salty smell that always reminds me I’m far from home.

Andre went over the basics — mostly where to sit so the drone could catch those wild overhead shots. He even demonstrated some poses himself (I tried to copy but felt ridiculous — he made it look easy). Once I settled into the kayak, it was surprisingly steady. You can see straight down through the bottom: ripples of sunlight on sand, little darting fish. The drone buzzed above us like a lazy bee. At first I was stiff as a board, but Andre cracked jokes and kept snapping away until I forgot about looking awkward and just started laughing. He said something about “Jamaican vibes” making everyone photogenic — maybe it’s true.

We didn’t rush. There were couples ahead of us taking their time too; nobody seemed in a hurry. The whole thing felt more like hanging out than posing for photos. When we finished, Andre promised we’d get our edited shots in three or four days (they came right on time). Walking back up the beach with my hair full of salt and sand sticking to my legs, I realized how rare it is to actually enjoy being photographed. Still think about that view from above — me floating there in all that blue.
