- In this episode, Captain Paul and the crew head to San Remo to pick up Loons Anvera 48 Wild Thing which has been in winter storage for the past 6 months. They go through the system checks required to launch the boat, and then Crusie beck down the French Rivera to meet up with Loon at anchor in Beaulieu-sur-Mer.
We are excited to announce the launch of our Patreon account. Members will get exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the crew and even have the opportunity to join the crew onboard for a member lunch.

Alex really is the most important person on Loon.
Is this Alex's secret account? lol
This is Alex's world, we all are just living in it, 😂!
And I noticed he's looking quit lean and muscled up
Being an ex marine engineer I can categorically say the chief engineer and the cook are 2 people you do not want to fall out with🤣🤣
Haha!! you lot will make me blush!
Refreshing to see the double checks after a servicing.. the crew is ultimately responsible.. awesome lifestyle share
Thanks for watching. It's great to have the Anvera back alongside Loon. Steve, Alex and the whole crew did a great job making this video and preparing the Chase Boat for the summer season.
Paul I noticed the old name of the chase boat can still be see on the stern.
Wild Thing.
I love your channel by the way. 👌👌👌
A 💯% class act that never disappoints. Many thanks for always bringing a 😄 to my face and always at the right time. 🤗
Looks like you had a lot of fun that day! You are a true leader. Many want to be a boss, but a leader is someone that people love to follow.
This has been fun to see the 'big kid' inside you. Blatting the chase boat around and being abit of a hoolie for once Captain
Love seeing Yanmar. Those guys are old school cool. They’ve been building engines as long as anyone.
I absolutely love this channel. I can see why Loon is a much sought after charter. Can't wait to see this Med season get underway
Absolutely epic watch guys. Love the video. Captain Paul is such a great teacher, epic drone shots from Steve plus special shout out to Chief Engineer Alex, awesome knowledge.. good teaching. Thanks Team ⛴️👍🎉❤️
Agree.... actually I've noticed on the crossing the other crew are becoming great educators also
Another Awesome little Video. That Anvera is such a sleek looking boat. Keep up the great work guys.
It really seems to capture the vibe of the Med, the same way the HCB is sporty like the Caribbean.
I have zero knowledge about a yacht. I do know the crew of loon are impressive. Great people very good at there job. Thanks for taking us along
Thanks Captain Paul and crew. Another super fun video of things I will never be able to do myself. Stellar stuff mates!
Great video guys - nice to see the workings ❤
Love this! Great content, guys!
Another awesome video. I plan on booking a charter on Loon soon. I am just looking for someone to accompany me and pay for the whole thing.😅
Waiting for the Loon merch to drop!
It’s cool to see The Captain doing his diligence.
Some tender is that little baby of the Loon!!! Most people would be more than happy to tear around in that, let alone stepping on board the Loon herself! Nice photography too fellas!
Steve, Alex and definitely CPC great video. yeah I love the 48' Anvera. I hope Alex got right to fixing the issue to the front power issue. Steve the video photography was ACE. CPC nice hair cut and narrating on this video. Looking forward to next video and next live which I hear is coming up pretty soon
Anvera is back!!!! WOOOHOOO!!! ONE DAY I shall journey on that!!! Cheers Loonatics!
And my Yachtness, the Anvera looks amazing!
Super fun video!
"Alex will fix that one..." love it!
Love the sound of those engines!!
Oh, and Steve, bloody great videography mate. This was a marked improvement. The shot with Wild Thing passing Loon is perfect. In fact most of it was pretty damn close to perfect. Whatever you did over the break, back to school or hard in a book, it worked.
Really fun video.
It's always good to have and engineer.
So many people would have simply arrived, jumped in, started the engines and, putting their trust in the yard, driven away. What was detailed in this video is how I would expect people to care for equipment if it were mine.
I treat other people's (whether they be clients or friends) gear like I own it and can't afford any extra bills this month and that's what I see here. Totally professional and on the ball, nice work guys.
As for the two chase boats, no competition. On big boats, Inboard diesels win every time for me unless it's an outright speed machine and if it is, inboard petrol FTW. While outboards have their place, I don't see the sense in hanging several tons and several hundred thousand dollars off the transom. And yeah, those big V8 Yanmars sound awesome and weigh very little.
740HP isn't a lot to move a boat that size that quickly but as you said the power to weight is great and Anvera spared no expense in shaving every last gram off the displacement. As you know, EVERYTHING on board is lightweight not just the hull. Everything from the interior to the helm chairs was selected with weight in mind. For a Med (or Florida, or Queensland) based luxury day boat with a good turn of speed, they can't be beaten.
Hi Captain Paul another great video and very nice day to pick up Anvera nice Yacht remind me my boat a Chapparal 32' I had 2 mercruiser 450hp each it was fantastic thanks again for your video and I can't wait when I see you with your nice black polo Loon to buy not one but 2 and and a baseball cap too it will be a honor and pride to wear these have a excellent day to all of you on the Loon I'm looking forward to your next video.💥💥💥💥💥💥⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️
Love your videos.
Nice boat tender 👍🏼
I can still read "Wild thing" on the back of the chase boat. If they painted over a decal you will see it forever.
Wild Thing is the tenders name.. We used ghost decals as we were required to put a name on it.
@@motoryachtloon And 2Loon was Taken? ^^
@@motoryachtloon Well a baby Loon is called a Loonlet. If it was up to me I would change it and all tenders and ski's to Loonlet1 through whatever.
Respect 🫡
Top 👏
Your chase boat cost 3 times my house. Nice boat.
5 Times my house!
Love watching your videos. My dad used to have a charter sailboat company in St John. haven't been around yachts in many years. Never been to the Med, Like seeing all the different locations. i will never be on a super yacht so watching these give me the satisfaction of seeing one. Of course I am more interested in the piloting and engine room. just wondering do you have a sea anchor onboard just in case?
What sunglasses is Alex wearing! They look smart and might fit my big head! Thanks.
oh, the boat looks good too! 😎🕶
Gotta love those Yanmar's great reliable inboard engines.
I love the Anvera, great looking boat. Do you ever use its beach club?
Cute back pack Captain Paul 😉
I hadn’t seen this before, but I need one! Way nicer than the tired old I backpack that we keep our boat papers and other essentials (all in zip-loc bags) in.
I was waiting for that one, I counld be the 1st and I wasn't cheers :D
Absolutely awesome ( pre checks) She's a beauty! ( Well except the dyslexic thruster props 😂 ) Alex going to swap a wire or reinstall props? Inquiring minds ya know... Thanks as always for sharing
hey Randy, it was just a simple reversed wire. easy fix once we got back to Loon 🤙
Why is the starboard startup switch on the left? Would think that should be the point ignition.
Are you happy with the new glass quarter panels on the Anvera?
GIVE US MORE !!!
We're trying!! 2 videos / week isn't enough 😳
Loon, hey mum, bady Loon is back. Got a bow thrusters thing to sort
Yea you ou see i got a dyslexic bow thingie. But with a little love and Alex and the bow thruster will be sorted.
Which men’s ON model shoe do you guys like best for the boat?
Just saw majestic Loon passing by from Imperia towards Monaco. Happy 4th of July everyone!💥 🎇 🧨
Happy 4th 🎆
Wondering how the bow thruster working backward worked with the joystick function?
Bow thrusters reversed - Alex..."hold my beer" - no reaction whatsoever!
The new chase boat was called Wild Thing.😊
Is called Wild Thing. That's its name.
Seen the falcon yacht in Athens a few days ago
I would love to see that boat under sail.
@@Bubby869 Saw her in Sardinia during Perini Cup. Wasn't planned but happened as we sailed through the same region.
Whats the system that allows you to be 'hands off' steering? is there something keeping the direction of travel stable?
autopilot
Crazy question, why not add sun pads to the tops of the tender garages?
Was it called Wild Thing? Looking at the stern you can barely see what looks like where a sticker had been. I love the sound of a nice Diesel engine better as well.
Yanmars are Uber dependable.
Nice limousine rib boat❤❤❤
Goes to prove good help is hard to find
Has anyone noticed that when he said like and subscribed to the subscribe button glowed. 😮😮
That’s cool! 😎
All good, and profesional as always, but apart of the salaries and tips is there a patreon account for supporting the crew? Incredible
damn lotteries lol got 5/7 numbers...... for $110. CDN hahahaha I couldn't stop laughing in the store, even other customers were having a good laugh. Good Times!!! 🤣🥳✌🍻 Sorry Lads, maybe next draw!🤞
Cool , 5 months out on the hard , busy boatyard , hate to think of the monthly rate :-) let alone all the ' tidies' :-) just in and out must be a few $$ :-)
I see it used to be called Wild Thing!
Wild Thing is the tenders name.. They used ghost decals as they were required to put a name on it.
below deck has a beautiful 12' RIB with a 75hp motor
😂
and two "oars" and one was the Chief Stew🤣
Was the chase boat christened "Wild Thing"? Time stamp 1:42 Lettering above the engines.
Why does it say wild thing on the back? is that it's name?
This chase boat gives a whole new meaning to B.ust O.ut A.nother T.housand. In this case BOAT(T) stands for Bust Out Another Ten Thousand. My gawd the maintenance on this thing alone would cripple me.
Enjoyed this vid. How long did Alex need prior to powering up the Anvera after it was in the water? Did all his checks on the engines and hydraulics take 1 hour or 3 hours???
Not too long at all. Carried out a few checks on the engines prior to starting up, then the rest of the tests were nice and quick and some I did on the way back to loon.
💯💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍
I was waiting for a subtle joke with the name...
Let us get this Wild Thing in the water or so...
Whose shoe at 2:59? Someone is missing a shoe
2:05 WILD THING bleeding through the stern paint there.
Wild Thing is the tenders name.. They used ghost decals as they were required to put a name on it.
@@Dave-in-MD Thanks. I had since seen this info replied to another post but I appreciate your time.🙂
This was Marine Degli Aregai
Does it fit inside the Loon? Or are you going to tow it across the Atlantic every season change? Seems like it would be better to just buy 2 and keep one in both places? The Loons billionaire owner could keep 10 in each ocean and not notice the cash missing
İf u need chase boat captain for this beauty im up for that 😅
Did Alex fix the thruster? 🇨🇦
yes, its all good now we just reversed the wires. 👍
They put the thruster blades on backwards
Mamma Mia peperone❤
If you had just one chase boat, is it possible to tow it across the Atlantic?
Anything is possible however it’s not recommended for the following reasons:
- no insurance for the tow
- wear and tear on the chase boat
- extra drag to Loon means higher fuel burn and higher wear on main engines.
- unable to run full speed away from pressure systems if needed.
- chances of breaking the tow line are high.
- put crew lives in danger if the tow separates and try to recover it.
Because of this it’s easier to either ship it or have 2 boats.
another great video, it would be your 15m chase boat not 1.5m 😆
Time Warp? Nah. That's pretty funny because Esysman was posting videos of you all at Monaco like 2 days after things had happened so we knew about the simulators onboard a couple weeks before the spisode came out and also the party. I had thought you woukd get some RUclips charter yacht friendship from M/Y King Benji but they apparently abandoned their channel now. Comments turned off for the 3 most recent videos and Josh the owner, took down all his socials.
Where is the crew OF? Jk! 😂
1.5 million im guessing now lol... when i first saw the title i thought 1.5m(eters) and thought thats awfully small for a "chase" boat lol :) $1.5m
haha yes that would be a small chase boat 😂
We know your used to small things
@@jackspinner4727 M/Y Loon is a very large boat, 67.5 meters or 221.5 ft long, and when i read 1.5m i thought meters.... which is only about 5 feet which is about the size of a dinghy for a 30ft vessel... hope this helps you understand, cheers :)
@@fender42421 haha I understood. I was making a joke dude.
@@jackspinner4727 oh, good one.... ha ha ha. glad you chimed in, lol cheers :)
WHY IS THE TENDER CALLED Wild thing ?????
What would have you called it?
Who is the ultimate owner of yacht loon? Is it known?!
Put your seatbelts on in the van
Hey Cap'tn, Let someone else drive too.
Didn’t you start the port engine while shouting “turning over the stud engine”?
So the chase boat is 1.5mio. The decision would be 1 week on Loon or buying the chase boat...🤔
$1.5m 🤔🤔🤔🤔
This chase boat doesn't look like it would protect anyone from a hard rain downpour. I suppose you wouldn't leave Loon if it was that bad. Wish I could join the Patreon channel but cant at the moment. Take care.
Hey Captain Paul, can the Anvera fit inside Loon? if not, what's the largest tender that can fit inside Loon?
No, not this one. Both of our chase boats get towed behind the biggest tender we fit onboard is the 7.5m Xcraft.
@@motoryachtloon Thanks so much for answering my question! Hope you have safe charter season!
The inability to permanently remove Wild Thing - the former name of the chase boat is inexcusable.
A paint swipe isn’t covering it and for a very expensive motor yacht - cheapens your product and gives your competitors an advantage. Love everything about Loon and the very hard working crew - but this undermines your efforts.
Cheers!
The boat is named Wild Thing 😂 we built the boat last year so it doesn’t have any previous name.
Crew says the captains a prick lol
What makes this boat 1.5 million??
That's bigger than 1.5 meters
And smaller than i would wana spend 1.5million on it 😅
Nooo they changed the title so my comment now makes no sense.
I from Russia where are you from
That's $1.5M?
You expect a speedboat that olny cost a million and a half to have working controls? How gauche!
1.5m or 15m? lol
LOL, its not a new boat... You checked all the fluid levels, DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT!!!!
When the average tip from each week is about 3000 USD per crew member, I don't really see the requirement of Patreon.
Hey if people are willing to pay it why not ask. Doesn’t hurt
I subscribed as a thank you for the crew’s willingness to participate in these videos. I hope they’re able to have some fun and grow together as a team.
You gonna make it through the day without off-big yourself?
Totally agree. One minute, they brag about their $1.5m chase boat and then the next they pass the hat around for some Patreon donations! Tone deaf. They do these YT videos for marketing to try to sell an extra charter here and there - not for you and I to watch. This whole Patreon thing leaves a very bad taste. If the crew aren't paid enough they should hit the boss for a raise.
Pay it don't pay, watch or don't watch. But quit complaining. Remember, they don't own million dollar boats, they work on them.
Only 1.5 mill thats cheap 😅
Should you not be wearing life jackets?
Why? It’s a 48’ boat.
@@motoryachtloon Just saying!
Honestly im not impressed with that tender for 1.5m you got robbed..
Patreon = stop watching a channel
Sorry to hear that.. but why nothing is changing on the YT channel
Loon provides quality free content, Patreon is optional for extra content. What's the problem?
how about wearing life jackets? what you all did was .... . especially letting the video producer sitting at the edge (7:15) is those kind of behavior that kills people....
Why for just a service is it such a tedious run in?
It's more checks due to the boat being laid up since last summer. We want to ensure the reliability throughout our summer season.
