Aerial view of a large commercial and industrial property in the Florida Glades

Drone Photography, Inspection & Mapping in Clewiston, FL

Based in Naples, flying all of Florida · Licensed and fully insured

Clewiston sits on the southern shore of Lake Okeechobee and calls itself America's Sweetest Town for good reason: sugar cane fields and the mill shape the skyline. We fly in Clewiston and across the Glades, covering large agricultural parcels, packing and processing facilities, and ranch land in Hendry County that is too big to show from the ground. Land brokers use aerials to present acreage with water, access roads, and neighboring parcels in a single frame. Industrial owners schedule roof and equipment inspections without sending anyone onto the structure. Along the Herbert Hoover Dike and the lakefront, marinas, fishing lodges, and RV parks order promotional video that shows the water access guests are paying for. After storms, we document damage across wide properties in one pass and sort the images by structure or field block. Standard delivery is 3 business days in one organized link, with a 1-business-day rush available. All media is aerial. Survey, volumetrics, and mapping for Glades land are produced by our sister company FAST.

Questions

Flying Clewiston? Quick answers.

Can you photograph a large farm or ranch parcel in a single visit?
Large acreage is a normal job for us. We fly the whole tract, including boundaries, canals, and access roads, and deliver overview shots plus detail on any structures.
Do you inspect processing and storage buildings in the Glades?
We inspect roofs, silos, and rooftop equipment from the air and deliver a located image set that maintenance staff can use to schedule repairs.
Can lakefront businesses get promotional video of the Lake Okeechobee shoreline?
Marinas, lodges, and RV parks hire us for video that shows the water, docks, and surroundings, timed for light and wind so the lake looks its best.
Can you document crop conditions or field layout during harvest?
We photograph fields, haul roads, loading areas, and equipment staging from above, which helps with logistics planning and ownership reporting. We deliver imagery. Any mapping or volume figures come through FAST.
How do you handle wind off Lake Okeechobee?
The open lake can bring steady wind, so we watch forecasts and pick the calmest window, often early morning. If conditions rule out a safe flight, we move the date inside your window and keep the 3-business-day delivery clock from the actual flight.

Fields, mills, and logistics

The sugar harvest runs from roughly October into spring, and the surrounding landscape changes with it. Burned and cut fields, haul roads, and loading yards look very different week to week. Owners and operators use aerials to see staging areas, truck queues, and field blocks as one picture, something a ground view cannot offer on this scale.

Roofs and structures on big properties

Packing houses, warehouses, silos, and maintenance buildings sit far apart on Glades properties. We photograph roof surfaces, vents, drains, and rooftop units building by building, then label each image so a facilities manager can plan repairs in order of need. No one climbs onto a roof and no lift is needed for the first look.

The lakefront economy

Marinas, bait shops, lodges, and RV parks depend on how the water looks to visitors. A short video from above shows ramps, slips, campsites, and the lake behind them. Winter and early spring bring the heaviest fishing and visitor traffic, so many owners book content in the fall to have it ready for the season.

Land sales and development

Clewiston and the Glades see steady land listings. A good aerial shows the whole parcel, its drainage, how it connects to the road, and what borders it. When a buyer wants boundaries, elevations, or stockpile volumes, FAST produces those deliverables on the same site.

Hurricane season

Lake and canal-side properties take the brunt of June through November storms. We can document pre-season conditions to create a baseline, then fly again afterward so adjusters see the change.
