This video we’ve been waiting a few weeks to put up now. I know a lot of people think we should have claimed salvage or taken the cash offered but next time it could be us in need of a hand. Out on the ocean everyone helps everyone (or at least should). We’re just happy we were in the right place with the ability to help save what I’m sure is this family pride and joy (along with averting an environmental disaster)
Thanks for watching and we’ll see you next week 🛥️⛵️🥂🇮🇹
100% agree
Solid, Capt.
Claiming the vessel or taking $$$ would've soiled the act of helping, HELPING someone is NOT about gain...... it's about GIVING your time and effort, nothing less, nothing more. You did absolutely the right thing Capt. Respect
I don't trust people not 100% motivated by money.
I confirm that they didn't even want the small reward I brought them! From the video it seems that I was naive but instead I have been going to sea for many years. Obviously it was an error of judgment on my part which, unfortunately, can happen even to the most experienced. But this is the way to go at sea. Thank you my guardian angels! But send me your address at least so I can have the pleasure of sending you a small gift!!
Thanks Paul, Tyler and Blair! The harbor was crowded and unfortunately 25 meters of chain on 5 meters of seabed were not enough! And I hadn't calculated the increase in the damn mistral! I was on land with friends and I struggled to recover the dinghy. And above all to turn it on! Luckily I saw my three guardian angels on board and I knew it was my lucky day! Thanks guys, great professionalism and friendliness. Please send me an address where I can send you a small gift! I've been following you all summer. Thanks again
Wow, I'm shocked that 5:1 scope wasn't enough in those conditions! I suppose with freeboard it's more like 4.5:1, but still, I figured that should hold in almost anything short of a gale. Hope the rest of the charter was alright! (or are you the owner?)
Wait - you anchored your boat and left on the dinghy and then lost your dinghy while on the beach?
I love doing good deeds. More valuable than money! I love loving.
You have a lovely neat and tidy boat!
Awesome juju…. May the wind always be behind you. ❤️
That is so wildly cool rescuing the sail boat... The flood of adrenaline that poor gent must have felt. Way to go Loon! Nice save! The Pirates Loon! 🤣
Absolutely outstanding AGAIN. Loon and Her crew are the best amongst the best! Thanks for sharing guys, always looking forward to your uploads.
You guys are absolute legends!
Paul is Top 👏👏👏
Well done guys
Baie lekker😊
Blair is certainly hard on cameras. If it's not sinking the drone, its sinking a gopro. In an effort to keep the cameras in operation, Blair should have to pay for any replacements out of his salary. LOL Good on Captain Paul and the crew for rescuing that drifting sail boat. Good karma will be be smiling upon you.
He would be broke if we made him do that. It’s part of working in a water environment and the only way to get all these amazing shots for you guys. Maybe @gopro or @dji would like to sponsor us some new ones 🤙
top work ! Ma who is going to lose their boat and how !!!??/?&
Wait, just wait. Two minutes of dead air at the end..!!?? Definite beer fine. Buy me a pint, ya bastard, I can't get that empty time back!
Capt you and your crew dropped everything to help save that sail boat, the rule of the Sea. Shows what a true Seaman and a great Captain you are. Well done. Well done LOON.
Never did I ever think I’d be this into a super yacht RUclips channel. You’re all just a fabulous crew, clearly good humans and a lot of fun. Thanks for these fab videos!
Thank you for the positive comment and watching our adventures :)
Same I live in the middle of of USA never been or seen a ocean and I love there channel
@@tiffanyspengler9166 You better go see. It's not to be missed.
You can tell the REAL MARINERS, their eyes are CONSTANTLY scanning the horizon. Congrats, Capt. Paul!
I’m leaving a reply to give you a second thumbs up. We said.
Sign of an expert seaman - even with all the demands of kitesurfing he can spot when something's wrong with *someone else's* vessel!
Well done Capt Paul.
When the rescue tender actually does a rescue! Amazing!
What the boat that rescues the rescue tender called?
@@motoryachtloon
The last line of defence?😀
@@motoryachtloon lifeboat
Not a mariner my self, but an aviator. I love watching the professionalism and excellent crew-y-ness. Great edits showing how well you all work together. Glad to say my crews are fun professionals as well!
Glad you enjoyed it , we work professionally around the clock but always manage to have a bit of fun
What a great video helpiing out a fellow sailer! You guys are awesome.
So much fun watching a bunch of happy people doing super cool stuff!!! Beats the hell out of those "reality" yachting shows! Thank you and I look forward to more!
Listening to Captain Paul talk about the nearby yachts is always a highlight!
Thank goodness there are some conscientious and highly skilled people on the ocean to first spot the issue and then intervene to help out.
Awesome crew you have there Captain! I wish you guys much success and great tips!
Thanks so much!
Paul has such an infectious attitude thats GREAT for a captain. id LOVE to workn on a boat with ALL of yall. sure its a LOT of fun.
Awesome job with the rescue guys. Always feels good to help out another mariner!
We try to help whenever we can 🛥️🥂
Great video! Everyone looks like they mesh so well. They look like they are having fun, but also work their butts off.
You lot are always happy 😊 And that makes me happy 😊 win win 👍👍
Keep it up guys 👏👏👏
Those shots of them sailing off with the boat were gorgeous! Hope they get to see the video and enjoy.
Absolutely loved that episode awesome. That motor yacht Norn 20.35 with the helicopter on top looks like a war ship it’s really cool
Call be biased, but MY Loon is the most beautiful boat of all time, she is just so perfectly dimensioned. Well done on the yacht save Crew 👍
I like the feeling that you are creating with your content. So cool and professional at the same time. Very well done, and all of you are really looking like nice people. I want more of this.
Will do! That is what we try and aim to create
Blair: content creator/ full time salvager.
Well done boys 🫶🏼 always making Loon proud 👏🏼
Love this channel so much, fantastic yacht, great crew, and amazing adventures shared. Thank you Nina for the introduction to your new work place 👍😀
Putting the rescue tender to good use 🤣 great video 🎉
Nice one Loon Crew, great vlog, and a warning to charter sailors, anchor safely, and keep an eye on your craft. 10********* for Loon crew!
The end of the last video ended with quite a cliffhanger!
The captains of all the other ships there must have really not understood the situation as well as you did.
Good job Captain Paul for the keen eye for spotting what's amiss out on the seas!
Pirates of the Tyrrhenian did not disappoint! Can't wait for the sequel!
Great episode.
Doing a tour of the drifting yacht was hilarious.
I always think of MY Loon as a big boat, but next to that white behemoth she was looking a bit smallish.
It’s amazing how small we can look next to some of the large Sheik owned yachts 😳
Yes but your heart is bigger! 😉
I know the panic when you cant remember where you parked the car at a mall carpark but your boat missing must be next level panic
True professionalism. I like you guys more and more every time I watch.
Another awesome video. Absolutely love the outtakes. Love it when the crew just ask normal.
Take the frigging wheel lock off. Every squeak was driving us crazy.
Yep, as you can see we’re not sailors 😂
I've been loving your videos. Probably like a lot of your viewers, I identify more with the crew, and the working, technical aspects of your boat. As opposed to the 3-5% of folk who could charter her. Which is were the money is at, I understand the marketing aspect.
But, I've wondered about the bridge layout from the get go. Why are the bridge windows so low? And why is there a step up in front of the helm station, making the low windows even more a hindrance. I would think you'd want better natural visibility, as opposed to having to duck down to see. Everyone has to duck down to look forward. WTF? Not my field, I could be missing something obvious, so...? Please don't tell me, "just aesthetics...'.
We believe the designer must have been a 5’ Dutch gentleman. Unfortunately it would cost millions to modify so we just make do.
Loon to the rescue!
Awesome!
If that had been my boat you sure as heck would at least get some beer with you.
Edit:
Okay!
So perhaps he didn't have any beer onboard, but instead wanted to hand you some money so that you could buy some on your next shore leave.
Good!
Yeah, when you salvage a ship, you CAN demand a reward. And the amount is related to the NEW value of the ship, a certain percentage, depending on what help you offered. An owner CAN get a costly surprise. But yeah, most people are friendly, they would help you too, right?
Cheers to you guys! You turned a bad situation into a great story!
I really loved the way you immediately did a walk around tour of the sailing vessel after you made sure nobody is on board.
Wasn’t it beautiful
I thought that (the tour below) was a bit of 'due diligence' or safeguarding on their behalf in that he could have found a body or a medical emergency for all he knew.
At first I thought the intrusion below was bad as he's filming inside someone's home but no, that's protecting everyone from theft accusations, etc.
The lads did well. 👍 Any chance of a two week passage in the Med working my way as the rope inspector or on seagull watch? 🙂
Lovely video Guys
Brilliant video… best of the season, safe crossing for you all
Thank you. 😁
Top job with the boat rescue! It sheds another new light on the super/mega yacht world and those that work in it! For the good!!
Nice one guys. True comradery to yachting life always looking out for each other.
Love the way you are embracing each moment while giving your guests the time of their life's. One day when I'm older, the hope is to experience such a cool adventure. Oi Blair, wear the life jacket with pride nê, it's all about owning it like a boss... 😏
Amazing thank you for the comment. 😁
what an amazing crew
I love that you take the time to tell us about other yatchs you guys encounter while chartering as well, always awesome to hear about other beautiful ships you’re surrounded by
We love seeing all the other beautiful yachts as we cruise around.
Woo-hoo LET'S GEAUX!!!!! FINALLY PART 2!!!!!
man, someone with such a nice sailing boat. looks like he's a consultant, lawyer, or some sort of, and he doesn't speak English is a bit sad. when you reach those level of career in your life you must be able to communicate fluently in English no matter where you are based or come from period.
Totally stand up - well done - nice to see people helping others!!!
Keep 20 liters of isopropyl alcohol all the time. When you mistake the drone for a submarine, retrive it from the water, remove the battery and in a plastic container submurge the drone in the alcohol making sure to move and twirl around to fill all cavities. Leave it in alcohol for 30 seconds. Remove from alcohol and rinse and shake as much of the alcohol away as possible. Place drone in a preheated oven set to lowest temperature. Leave the drone inside with the door open and keep the oven warm. Remove the drone every 5 minutes to ensure it doesn't overheat. Repeat until alcohol smell disappeared. Leave the drone in a warm area to dry for at least 24 hours. As for the battery clean it with alcohol and store it in a metal container away from flammable materials until you can discard it.
Amazing we’ll have to try that next time. Thank you 🤙
Maybe DJI needs to open a sales/service center on MY Loon? 😂
Blair is a vip member now. He’s on first name basis with all the DJI repair team 😂
At 13:35 I had to pause and walk around looking for an alarm that was going off ...... Great job on rescuing that sailboat!!!
guys you didn't nt comment on the super yacht l'ussail for me the best looking super yacht ever
Another great video for the books.
Nice touch the tip meeting at the end. Gives a much more realistic insight than you know which program, even though the guests are not in sight. I never believed that rich guests eat only on board during a charter. They must like to eat off-board and here you hear Paul mentioning it.
Maybe during the crossing, an overview can be given of numbers: how much gas Loon uses for its trip, what tasks are done as it probably differs from during the charter season and more.
Oh yes, now my wife wants to iron the bedding too, thank you Maxime and team...
I've been watching these videos for a couple of weeks and it seems to me that the guests rarely eat aboard. Except maybe breakfast
Oh yes, now my wife wants to iron the bedding too, thank you Maxime and team... 🤣🤣
As a retired former employee of Nautique Boat Company, I really enjoy seeing the occassional shots and mention of the boat for which I played a minor role in its development. But I can't resist a bit of a chuckle when I hear Captain Paul refer to it a a "Super Ski Nautique". My former Nautique marketing associates would be cringing at hearing this as they've devoted so much time and effort into the branding of the "Super Air Nautique" wakeboard and wake surf product lane. There is a "Ski Nautique" (without the Super), but that's strictly a competition ski boat, not appropriate to wakeboarding and wake surfing.
Thanks for clarifying we had no idea.. Super Air Nautique from now on.
Hahahahaha poor Blair no one understands the pain of the luck you get with DJI drones literally you can just be doing nothing and something’s aims for the drone😭 or it fails always making us look bad!!!! I NEED THAT LINK FOR THE DRONE RETRIEVER
drone-retriever.com/
What a cool video!
I was wondering, how often do you use kitesurf gear in the Med? Any favorite spots?
Personally I don’t think that guy was all that grateful, he came off as combative at first which is understandable, he saw he was outnumbered so didn’t push it. He didn’t seem to understand English at all so I don’t think he was ever aware of what was going on, he just saw some guys on his boat and was trying to get it back. His comment here seems like it was translated and written by someone else as he didn’t seem to know that much English during the encounter. Good job doing the right thing and saving that boat at the end of the day it’s about brothers helping brothers and doing the right thing.
Well done guys, that must have been awful for the yacht owner thinking you guys were stealing his yacht, good video, enjoyed it.
Just found your channel from recently discovering tours of yachts and became interested in behind the scenes with the crew. I love the videos you post, very great. My question is, how did you know that it was a sailboat that was lost? That maybe there wasn't a person who fell off the boat?
Blair you made that drone recovery whilst moving look freaking easy.
Hmm...I think I have to side with Blair on the drone/life jacket issue. He was, technically, on the clock and working to help make the guest's experience the best that it could be. Engaging in such a dedicated focus on perfection, surely he can't be held responsible for a sailboat captain blundering through the drone's airspace and thus interfering with the job of making the guests happy?
Okay, it's a bit of a stretch, I know 😊
Team Blair, for the win!
P.S. Love all of your videos. Thank you for producing them :)
Thank you ! I agree with you, hahaha
Great video look forward to next week, Monday mornings would not be the same.
Nice job guys! Yes that was a nice boat. If I was that guy I would have been estatic. The noise from the steering gear, at least I am assuming it was that, was driving me nuts. One thing I have always wondered with these Superyachts, how often do you have to scrape the bottom of the boat to get all the growth of? or does the yacht have a special coating or system to reduce it?
That noise is because the steering wheel is locked with a screw that should be loosen before using the wheel
$4800u dont now whst as have to make $ 4800 work make the in Canada Edmonton Alberta night, day now stop work
What a great job saving the sailboat!! The owner seemed really pleased and grateful!! Thanks for showing some of the other yachts you encounter!! It seems that the crew really gets along well and has a good time!!
Great rescue guys. I rescued a sailboat in Bequai and received a nice bottle of Tequila for our trouble. Love to watch you all having fun.
Will you be in St Lucia this winter. I will look for you there.
My brother sold his yacht so I will be land based this year.
Have a safe crossing.
Thanks for the entertainment and laughs
Cheers
Tara😂
Nice, Bequai seems to be a tough spot to anchor.
We hope to make it down the St Lucia and SVG.
This looks like the funnest boat to work on where do I send my CV? LOL
serious note love the videos they make me love what I do 100x more
We try to make it as fun as possible for all the crew. If the crew are having fun the guests can sense that and they have fun with us 😁
Yeah but if person doesnt know how to anchor maybe they should be on the shore line. Maybe it will save their life.
Some one should do in depth vlog on how to anchor a sail boat or other boats. Also how to get a sail boat off a shore if you loose anchor. 2 things some sailors have no clue about.
Beautiful yacht, nice work guys.
Amazing job! Guys, next time you save a boat, you got to wear a cape! Loon SuperHeroes!
🦸♀️🦸
21:30 Keep in mind rich guys are rich because they can destroy things and get them good again for cheap...
So this charter was 640000 $
surprised you were not wearing a kill chord or life jackets in the rescue tender?
How did they know something was wrong? How come the anchor didn't hold?
Do you get get a monthly salary or is everyone on the yacht working for tips?
It looked like a rental/charter yacht rather than family-owned.
Love the channel. I’ve been Marlin Fishing in the GBR off of Cairns AUS and Lizard Island since 1985 and we always have had a Mothership. Fortunately cell phones with cameras didn’t exist for several trips because, what happens of the reef stays on the reef. Always great crew and 1st class experience. Cheers 🥂
Another Great video! You are so Professional and Safety conscious, BUT...I was surprised when in the inflatable you did not have the "kill" switch cord attached to you. I have seen a couple of instances where people fall off their boats/tenders/Sea Doo's and the kill switch was not attached and off goes the boat....
Imagine we had a sailboat as a chase boat
Awesome job guys! great save! 👍👍
AWESOME STUFF GREAT CREW SAVING THE YACHT VERY HAPPY ITALIAN
Very happy Italian 😁
Good show there mates!
Thank you 😊
I've had my share of "rescues" on boats that are heading for some love on the rocks. Ya never know what you're getting into going aboard an empty yacht. What struck me is that he refused the offer to receive help in getting the boat anchored back in place. Which, is a head shaker because single handling a 50' sail yacht is almost not doable and it's even more difficult in a shallow-water anchorage. It sure was a very clean half-million dollar sailboat though.
In a short titled: "Superyacht Loon’s Unloading Their Toys in Croatia" -- don't use apostrophe to make words plural, please.
My mind goes right to what if the owners drowned? LOL
Surely that noise is the steering lock wound in?
That was a NICE $ailboat, i'd be happy too if yachties, of all people came and saved it from the rocks.
Also, i got so very confused as to where the fck he was walking at 17:24 ....like....is he walking on water??? Took me a second..
Nice rescue(s)
So glad you secured the sailing yacht, I was quite worried about it! I know Loon is fab but that boat was so pretty for off shore sailing/cruising and was at serious risk. Does anyone double anchor out there, or am I just an over-worrier? We dropped a second anchor off the stern years ago, with care. But I've seen some smaller luxury yachts drag their anchor & inexplicably drop it again a patently unsuitable seabed, only for it to drag again😂. Two guesses. Nice to see it done properly! And you showed your spirit of seamanship brilliantly.🙂⛵ 🍕🍻
I love to see a class act! Most people never see the true maritime community in action, you help NO MATTER what happens and never take anything for it.The crew makes the yacht, MY Loon rocks ( probably not. too many stabilizers, lol)
Fantastic job guys!
You keep losing GOPROS. I think I would add a florescent case or small florescent float for future expeditions.
Wear a lifejacket every time you fly the drone is HILARIOUS. Did the drone damage the sailboat? :o
What a blessing they rescued your boat. But how did you lose both sailboat and the dinghy? Somethings just not right. you were definitely having a bad day. You were so lucky they decided to save your boat for you, almost look like a charter.
Great video as usual guys! Keep it up! Quick question as you mentioned Wise accounts do you trust use them for awhile and are they reliable? My Son is trying to get employed and needs a banking platform. He is a Saffer as well
