So great to see Tyler (that mullet!) having the confidence and courage to rock the boat. also shout out to Capt Paul for handing over the keys, that was a sweet gesture. goodluck to you both.
Can’t believe just how interesting I have found this, really shows just what goes into running a Superyacht, and I have to admit, it’s far more than I ever expected! Interesting from the medical perspective as you automatically imagine being near urgent care but when they say on the crossing they are 6 sailing days from land it makes you realise just how big the Atlantic is and how far away you are from help
Same. This channel really focuses on the bridge, deck crew, and engineering, but I want to see all of it including food, supplying and stewards. This channel would get many more views. This is like bro time in my opinion.
Another fab video Steve , I know that at the time this goes out , Loon has already made it safely across , well done guys, gals and Captain Tyler , hope you had a great holiday Paul
I love and will happily watch all content you guys put out, but these crossing videos are my favorites. Not something I would ever want to do, but you always make it look fun. Thanks guys!
LOL was gonna say 2 hours 20 mins to Gibraltar!?!?! Loon would need to be going 500 knots an hour! This is so awesome for Captain Tyler, congratulations Captain! Cheers Loonatics!
So glad you guys were having fun in those little eight footers😂 I was in 35 to 40 footers on a 295 foot sailing vessel in a small hurricane halfway to Bermuda, we never made it to Bermuda, ripped 18 of our sails had to turn around and go back in and anchor off of Orient point New York for repairs, while joking aside this old man would sail with you guys anytime you’re all very professional, especially Captain Paul
Excellent hand over video. Tyler the eyes will be on you. I'm sure you'll be up to the challenge of crossing the Atlantic. Looking forward on following this journey. Ocean sickness pills are ready to be taken. You got Dean and the food taken care of so your stomachs will be full of great cuisine, Steve enjoy your 1st crossing and try to keep the pill popping to a minimum. Catch part 2 next week cheers
I think just about anything is fine as long as the cabinet doors stay closed. The same goes for drawers - if a drawer full of tableware breaks out of its locks, chances are it will also rip out of its rails and just fall down entirely. Just about the same amount of breakage.
Great video, that hand over really was awkward lol, capt paul was handing his baby over. I would never let anyone else drive my car, let along a $47m boat. Good luck everyone and have a nice rest capt Paul.
That sharp stem looks great, but it doesn't do much to control pitching! It's a bit of a shock to see so much motion in a pretty mild swell. Form coming before function, what a shame.
I don’t know why but I figured the conditions would be calmer in the Med Sea due to it being like a ‘big bay’/being surrounded by land 🤷🏻♀️ Shows how much I know lol
Even more than fire drills I used to love MOB drills. The skipper would announce that a drill would take place sometime in the next 24 hours and then at some point he'd help me dress in a survival suit with a PEPIRB strapped to my thigh (just in case), a waterproof VHF on the other and a MOB alarm dongle on my wrist and I'd throw myself off the stern. One and a half ship lengths later the alarm would go off on the bridge and the drill would commence. Doing it at night never became less than freaky, even when you knew full well that two people on board (one other random crew member not on watch was always informed just before I jumped) knew you were there, seeing that little island of light sailing away when you were 100s of even 1000s of miles from land puts the hooks in you every damn time. I can't image how it would feel happening for real, utterly horrifying I imagine. Yes, you can do it with dummies but it never gives the full sense of urgency to the crew and I never felt any real danger, you don't even get wet. It's safer than diving or swimming on an offshore reef in reality since you are in a survival suit.
Interesting run from France to Gibraltar. The changeable sea the stormiest first night a long night. Then calmer seas to Gibraltar, apart from the crew who got safety drills to run. No rest for the innocent 😇 - is Loon crew innocent? 🤔 😂
I think the required number is only 9 1 captain 2 chief officer 3 2nd officer 4 Deckhand 5 Deckhand 6 Chief engineer 7 2nd Engineer 8 3rd engineer 9 Cook But we run with 14, so we can complete some other jobs and not just deliver the boat.
Another video mainly focusing on “the boys”! Would like to see more of the galley and stewards. What do they have for breakfast,lunch and dinner? What do they do when off shift etc….
The reason our content can sometimes be a bit out of timeline is that editing and production take a lot of time-often hundreds of hours! We’re doing our best to balance everything, especially since we all have full-time jobs on top of creating these videos. We’re working hard to improve our workflow, so hopefully, we can get things more aligned in the future
@@nigellucas560 The vessel looks pretty well run. Always clean, crew in safety gear when necessary, regular training, ongoing maintenance. I think they hire well. Take a look at the galley. The chefs are running a world class 24 hour restaurant. They pump out gorgeous meals all day everyday. The larder is always stocked. The kitchen is always super clean. Same with the engine room. Crew is top flight from the master on down.
Good to see a mannequin for CPR training/familiarity which shows how professional you are but I didn't see a defib machine which is really essential if you are out at sea., the real difference between life and death. I don't like seeing young Tyler tell the crew to have fun, not on multi-million yacht, large crew, out at sea. That is not people management, the captain must always provide the clear surety of calm, clear expectations and professionalism, simply leadership like Capt Paul does. The crew are paid to do a job, they are professionals and it is a serious business for the team and boat. Yes enjoy the voyage, enjoy the work and time to relax but stay responsible and look after the other colleagues and boat. Things can go wrong in a heartbeat and there often is no-one to help.
He is clearly better at people management than you are. Did you not understand the conditions the crew were in? they were all worn-down from a very heavy season and then the first day of the passing such rough weather. He was working on crew morale, which is important. Take care of your people first so they take care of others!
When was this? It’s Dec 1 and just NOW making crossing to the Caribbean? OR! Crossing the Atlantic TO the Med? Haven’t seen videos in months. This is odd.
Congrats to Captain Tyler!!!
The drone footage of Loon smashing through the waves was awesome!!!
So great to see Tyler (that mullet!) having the confidence and courage to rock the boat. also shout out to Capt Paul for handing over the keys, that was a sweet gesture. goodluck to you both.

This is so cool. I love seeing the behind the scenes work that is actually needed to keep ships like this going day to day. 😊❤️
Very professional Captain and Crew.
Thank you Roger :)
One of the best episodes. Really looking forward to part 2 and 3 with Captain Tyler
Guys, we love to see the shots form the chefs too! I particularly love to know what they are cooking in the kitchen! Other than that, great episode 👏🏼
Agree.
Same. This channel really focuses on the bridge, deck crew, and engineering, but I want to see all of it including food, supplying and stewards. This channel would get many more views. This is like bro time in my opinion.
That's if anyone is eating with that sea swell.
Nina does have her own channel to, the crew chef 👍
@@strawman3059 I know but thank you. She hasn't shown up on my feed lately. I'll have to search her out.
Video shots keep getting better and better. Drone footage all around the 4 minute mark was absolutely stunning!
Everytime I see Loon I think to myself. That is a damn good looking vessel.
Fantastic to see Tyler taking the reins for the crossing! It’s been great to watch his journey/training with Capt Paul (:
Another fab video Steve , I know that at the time this goes out , Loon has already made it safely across , well done guys, gals and Captain Tyler , hope you had a great holiday Paul
Yes!!!!!!!! LOVE IT thanks Team a Real Nice Sunday Night Chill After Tea!!!! Uk Toe xxx
Thanks TC 🥂
Congrats Tyler! Glad to see you guys made it safe!
Hey Captain Paul, nice touch handing over the keys. lol. you need to trust the crew they will be fine without you. But love your commitment. 😀😀
We enjoy every video. Hope the Loon is bought by someone who cares to allow this footage to continue.
Saw Paul on Kym Illman's channel at Monaco recently, great to see MY Loon get the exposure it deserves.
Having Kym on Loon at the MGP this year was great.
I love and will happily watch all content you guys put out, but these crossing videos are my favorites. Not something I would ever want to do, but you always make it look fun. Thanks guys!
Interesting vlog…all that swell you need a bigger boat Paul! Stor klem fra NORD Norge
LOL was gonna say 2 hours 20 mins to Gibraltar!?!?! Loon would need to be going 500 knots an hour! This is so awesome for Captain Tyler, congratulations Captain! Cheers Loonatics!
Fantastic channel. Great content and presentation. 🇦🇺🦘😀
Congrats Tyler been great to watch your progress
So thorough in all respects, Gib arrival was immaculate. Well done all! Till next time...
So glad you guys were having fun in those little eight footers😂 I was in 35 to 40 footers on a 295 foot sailing vessel in a small hurricane halfway to Bermuda, we never made it to Bermuda, ripped 18 of our sails had to turn around and go back in and anchor off of Orient point New York for repairs, while joking aside this old man would sail with you guys anytime you’re all very professional, especially Captain Paul
😰😱😰😱😰 rather you than me. 😱
@ it wasn’t fun
Fantastic adventure!
Congrats Taylor well derserved mate

Thoroughly enjoyed watching, really interesting!
Bubble mat is the best for any on board storage (non corrosive). I even use it in my home to store breakables in draws instead of cupboards.
works for vegetables too
I think just about anything is fine as long as the cabinet doors stay closed. The same goes for drawers - if a drawer full of tableware breaks out of its locks, chances are it will also rip out of its rails and just fall down entirely. Just about the same amount of breakage.
I’m learning as much as I can from you because my new wife and I just purchased a 107 foot MY in Miami
It’s a good thing she’s new😂
Amazing! Congratulations make sure to come by and say hi.
Great team .
I love the crossing videos! I like them better than the charters.
Great video, that hand over really was awkward lol, capt paul was handing his baby over. I would never let anyone else drive my car, let along a $47m boat.
Good luck everyone and have a nice rest capt Paul.
14:17 - what’s in the NO ENTRY FOR CREW door?🤔 first time I’ve seen the crew struggling with a big sea.
Bonded stores.. where all the good liquor is kept.
3:48 is looking soooo insane😍😍
That sharp stem looks great, but it doesn't do much to control pitching! It's a bit of a shock to see so much motion in a pretty mild swell. Form coming before function, what a shame.
100% not a yacht for exploring. For fun 100%
You make me feel like I'm part of the crew
Boat seems to move alot for the small seas. But then when I was at sea my ship was 505 ft long with 65 ft beam and a displacement about 9000 tons.
I don’t know why but I figured the conditions would be calmer in the Med Sea due to it being like a ‘big bay’/being surrounded by land 🤷🏻♀️
Shows how much I know lol

wow thanks for sharing Marvin. Thats crazy! Pretty sure we're not allowed to do that anymore.
What happened to the sous chef? Was it too rough or was her departure planned? Hope she'll be back!
You need to use earthquake putty on things to keep them in place. Use in my RV and nothing moves when traveling
can you lower the floor in the helm so you can see out standing straight? or higher window maybe?
its easier to buy a new boat
@@motoryachtloon The real reason for the new boat comes out!
Do you have any concern about Orcas at the entrance to the Med? Are you following reports?
I had this thought last year, but I think Loon is big enough not to have to worry
this video is about 6 weeks ago, they are safely on the other side
No not really. The Orcas would be in for a nasty surprise if they tried to ram us being steel hulled with big turning props
Titanic wouldn’t have sunk if he’d been captain!
hahaha best comment ever!
Im surprised it takes that long to get to Gibraltar from the French Riviera. Is that because there is a speed limit?
I’d love to see more interior coverage… rather than majority deck crew!
Interesting run from France to Gibraltar. The changeable sea the stormiest first night a long night. Then calmer seas to Gibraltar, apart from the crew who got safety drills to run. No rest for the innocent 😇 - is Loon crew innocent? 🤔 😂
Quick question captain paul , what crew numbers is required for an atlantic crossing on a vessel of loons size ?
I think the required number is only 9
1 captain
2 chief officer
3 2nd officer
4 Deckhand
5 Deckhand
6 Chief engineer
7 2nd Engineer
8 3rd engineer
9 Cook
But we run with 14, so we can complete some other jobs and not just deliver the boat.
Do ye not have lee sheets for the waves?
I was wondering... How many Charters cover the fuel cost to cross the atlantic. ?
less than 1
Hey Paul how do I order some merchandise to Queensland ? Keen on a couple of tees for me and the missus
The Aus merch should be landing in Aust any day now. 😎
Is Franco still part of the crew?
No, He hasnt been for a long time
@@motoryachtloon thanks for responding. I don't watch every video and it just dawned on me that I hadn't seen him in a while.
Have y'all sold the yacht?
Not yet. Hopefully soon though. so we can go boat shopping.
What country is Martin from? I'm german and his accent sounds familiar!
The date on the Timezero said October 2023...are you keeping a 1-year buffer of videos or is the Timezero's date off? :)
thats the log clock. that was the last time we reset the 'odometer'
Can you start putting the names of the songs used in the description?
crossing the atlantic again? dang. You know they only let you cross the atlantic so many times.
twice a year every year 😎
Do you carry body bags on board if someone doesn't make it?
If the body cannot make it to land in 48 hours it is a.long custom of.the seas. Burial at.sea.....
Another video mainly focusing on “the boys”! Would like to see more of the galley and stewards. What do they have for breakfast,lunch and dinner? What do they do when off shift etc….
wish he had seen the spider @ 0:56 ... screaming like a school girl...
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Urlaub auf der Krim (Jalta) zu machen und Putin seine Devisenkasse zu füllen ist schon eine harte Nummer. Aber ja, Spaß und trallala gehen ja vor.
SECURE FOR SEA guys.
Making proper seafarers of you
Who’s looking forward to the equator crossing. Let the games begin.
They are crossing the Atlantic, not the equator.
Who's crossing the equator? There is no equator crossing between the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.
@@christianfranzen7854 sorry, mid Atlantic
Is it all social media selfie stuff or is there a hierarchical line of professionalism in the background?
@@nigellucas560 The vessel looks pretty well run. Always clean, crew in safety gear when necessary, regular training, ongoing maintenance. I think they hire well. Take a look at the galley.

How do you pay for fuel? AMEX, cheque, IOU, PayPal??? Trust? ("Gimmee $100k fuel and I'll pay you Tuesday").
21:35 Geoengeniering in full view! 😓

This was in october. It takes time to edit theses videos. They are currently in the Bahamas for the winter season.
Yeah october, he is talking about Monday being the 7th
I always feel better when Paul is ‘driving’ the boat!!
