For two weeks our boat "Boisterous" was part of an ad-hoc anchorage serving as background for some on-the-water chase scenes during the filming of the 22nd James Bond movie: "Quantum of Solace" due out in November 2008.
Here, Daniel Craig and Olga Kurylenko (former Ukrainian super-model) jet by "Boisterous." Craig is reportedly being paid 15 million pounds for doing three films, and has an option for two additional films.
Bond's boat has "Gardien des Etoiles" written on the side. It's painted to look like an old wooden run-about, but it's actually a 21' aluminum jet boat build by Doug Riddle of Idaho. It sports a Chevy short-block 350.
These bad boys, Harris and Frosty, chase 007 in an 18' Avon rigid inflatable.
Their guns look less menacing sitting on the dock at Shelter Bay Marina.
In the movie these guys are supposed to be Colombian drug dealers.
A view of a couple of military vessels that were used in one scene. 
Here 007 is chased by drug lords who are followed by one of the camera boats. Daniel Craig's first Bond film was Casino Royale (2006) which cost around $150 million to make, but grossed almost $600 million.
One of the streets scenes. The seedy city of Colon is supposed to stand-in for Haiti.
The ketch behind the Bond boat is called the "Independence." For scale, the other sailboat to the right is actually 50'.
Another view of the 174' Independenceketch built by Perini Navi in 1998 and hailing from Georgetown Cayman Islands. Someone is standing on the upper deck just forward of the mizzen mast.

Good for people to know.
I think I may have met your family in Panama. My father was the one who made those jet boats - and it's so wonderful that you gave him credit for it! I called him and told him about it and he was really thankful! I stumbled upon this site, randomly searching for pictures of the boats. Great shots!
