Sometimes I think one of the main reasons why Captain Paul hired Blair is to keep him company and just doing random stuff and pranks! Like Paul just felt a bit lonely on the bridge and just wanted a buddy to goof around with :D love it!
Blair, You should consider setting up GoPros throughout the vessel and have the team record certain tasks like cooking/meal prep, deployment of the slides, tender, pool, etc… then timelapse the footage and add it to these videos. Detailed content is created without you having to be there. This gives us more visibility as to what occurs in the vessel. Setting up the cameras and angles will take practice but it’s a great addition of content and more “behind the scenes” footage.
Imagine a 'bad task' is to have to dive into the beautiful waters off the back of a superyacht, in the Virgin Islands to fetch some christmas hats. What a privilege. Love the videos, keep up the amazing work!
Question(s): How much difference is there between a charter and a boss trip? I actually had the pleasure of a meeting the "boss" at a wild game. Great guy. Also, will he ever be on the channel and what does he think about the channel itself? Keep up the good work! Enjoy watching your videos! #loon
Starting strong for 2024. Great to see Chef Dean back on board. Captain Paul, Blair and all the crew good luck and keep the action and pranks coming in hot
@@motoryachtloon We also dont get to see enough of the interior rooms, lounges, TV rooms etc so maybe film whenever you are doing routines in there. But hey we cant complain you do a fantastic job as it is .
I binged watched you guys and caught up so now I have to slowly sip each new episode to savor them and make them last until the next one. Happy holidays to you all 🎄

Great video thanks for sharing. Welcome back Chef Dean. Sean that Christmas dinner for Crew look DELICIOUS!!! and most likely was. Blair great drone shot of crew in Christmas attire on Bow of Loon. That's a Post card Shot. Glad the cruise 4 day tour went well and the tip was a great Christmas gift for you all $4,000+ can't complain. Blair because you got the new go pro guy now onboard does that mean you are going on a well needed earned holiday ? Catch you loonies next video
I seriously enjoy your videos. I spent considerable time at sea in two decades as a US Naval officer and qualified SWO but that's no comparison to being aboard the Loon, none at all. I'd dearly love to get underway with you folks... some day.
Hey Ownen! Thanks a bunch for your awesome comment! I'm thrilled that you enjoy my videos and find them to be a nice break in your week. Love you too! Can't wait to bring you more content! 🛥🥂
I think this is my favorite Loon video so far. A short holiday cruise showcasing. the arrival protocol, who the guests meet 1st, of course the food presentation was over the top and catering to the American Turkey tradition looked like fun. Weren't these guests your favorite repeat customers you were looking forward to spending the holidays with?
If Blair wasn't filming John, he wouldn't have gone and got those hats. I don't even think the deckhands realized that you dropped a water Ballon on them. Love you guys. Keep up the good work❤ Happy new year🎉
I really appreciate how positive, friendly and all of the smiles from the crew. I have recently become permanently disabled and watching you all have so much fun and cheer helps me enjoy your yacht vicariously. Thanks so much to all of you and Captain Paul.
Nice work Paul and team - huge fan of the channel and really enjoy each instalment. Great to see this charter tip was better than a previous one which I couldn't believe but well handled by you. Hope the scales balance out at some point which I'm sure they do. Best regards.
Haha, glad we could be your withdrawal aid! The Vlogs may seem effortless, but trust me, there's a lot of behind-the-scenes chaos. Go Loon, go Loon! Sending love all the way from the BVI to Nord Norge! 🛥🥂
Nice video again. I did enjoyed the parts with chef Dean en Sean with the all the nice food that he made. The Caribbean videos are great. But I liked the Mediterranean more. I think because of all the the ports that you visit. The nice city’s that you see. And I liked the Anvera more to see. But I never visited any of those places. So maybe if where on a charter that it would change my mind.
There are 3 reason's why I buy lottery tickets religiously twice a week, Firstly, is to do the Amalfi coast while staying at the Il San Pietro di Positano, Secondly, it's to do a couple of weeks aboard the Christina O (the most iconic yacht that started the luxury yachting business, the guest list is legendary) and lastly, to do a couple of weeks on MY Loon, BOTH ships. That's why I spend about $40 per week on the lottery.... I know the odds are pretty bad in my favor, but, my odds are 0 if I don't play. I hope to see you all in the future! 😁✌❤
Thank you for your lovely comment! We really appreciate your support and we're thrilled that you enjoyed the video. The sunset shots were truly breathtaking, and we are glad you liked the chase boat too. 🛥🥂
A Very Happy New Year to all!👏👏👏🥂 Fun, professional content! Do you content on the behind the scenes problems/logistics/staffing? All the very best!👏👏👏❤
What is that device over your head at the Helm Station? I’m pretty sure that one is the Rudder Position Indicator, but have no idea what the other instrument is. Thanks in advance for the answer.
What pelican case do you have been wanting to get one for our sailing boat for the same reason you guys have one Great vid btw always love to watch them hopefully we will bump into each other
American/Asian fusing cuisine. Ramen noodles with chopped up hotdog sausages and tinned tomato sauce aĺl served in 5 gallon buckets, just like mom use to make.
Enjoy your sun. I just found my snow shovel and dressed the dogs in snow gear 😂 totally different experience. Water sports here mean not falling on ice 😂lol
I'm not seeing a dock at the Ritz Carlton in St. Thomas, so how did you pick people up there? Did you take a shallow landing craft right onto the beach?
Can someone please condo that Loon (back when she was called Icon) was used in the filming of Justice Leage Snyder cut? I swear she is the yacht in the epilogue of the movie. It's like a celebrity sighting 😂👍
Great video as usual. One general question. I notice Loon's bow is shaped very nicely forward, my opinion these look very smart. Sone of the, I think, more modern yachts have a very square or vertical boow, which does not look nearly as good .I presume there is an efficiency, or something but what is the reason for this?
I really wish if one group of patrons agrees to be filmed into a video. Because all of your service looks so nice but it would be even more a more round and whole experience if the reaction of the customers can be included. Anyways, it is totally understandable that why they may not want to be in the video.
Exclusivity and privacy is priceless. It’s why most patrons pay for a charter. Although the price seems high for the average person, it’s worth it if you value privacy & service.
That would be fun to see but the thing is, most of these people are not well known so they have their anonymity that's something that I for one wouldn't want to have blown. Putting your family and especially your kids in the public eye can be dangerous, the handful of people at this level I know well are pedantic about keeping their kids out of the public eye in ways that could associate them with very high-worth parents as it can expose them to substantial risk. Matt Carriker (of Demo Ranch RUclips fame) recently announced he was ceasing to show his kids in his vlogs for this reason, they are 10 to 12 now and people were approaching them when out in public on their own and that's obviously quite a worry. he had quite legitimate concerns for their safety and then there's the possibility of kidnapping for ransom, an issue that is even larger if you have billions. Even adult family members, friends and staff can be at risk from this so it's a big ask apart from the fact that as others have said, most of these people are pretty private themselves. I know a couple of people with a net worth of over a billion and I will guarantee that few, if anyone watching this would recognise them if they sat beside them and they prefer it that way.

I think it is amazing you are able to get such good content without invading the guests privacy or impacting their experience.
Yes!
20% is great. That is the gold standard in America.
Beautiful group, thanks guys!
4K ? Each ? For 4 days? Darn, I'm in the wrong industry. 🙌
I earn 9k in 7 days in the oil industry and I work 2 weeks on. Not 2 months like these people :). 2 months is crazy long. Don't envy them at all.

He’s part of the big reason why these guys have a channel! it’s all in the marketing and it’s superb! captain Paul just makes everything better!
I think you can tell the quality of a chef by their roast potatoes and these look good.
That is a fact !
Not even into yachting, but cannot get enough of this channel.. great vids guys ❤
Your team certainly deserves the success you receive. What a great crew and boat. You all should be very proud. 🇦🇺 😊
Dean is clearly trying to find out how many kiwis watch the channel.
The Pavlova is a NZ invention. Also the best Christmas dessert.
We're going to claim it as Aussie 🇦🇺
Totally, first made in Wellington!!!
Yep - Kiwi here. Love this content but the Australian Pav comment took just a bit of the sweetness away.
Next time I’m not going to miss with that water balloon 🤣
Please avoid balloons in our seas/oceans. We need to protect our sea creatures.
goes without saying, credit them with a little bit of common sense please@@sharonfreiburg8234
@@sharonfreiburg8234 there are special balloons available that are biodegradable, same with golf balls.

It's called an Aussie Pav for a reason !! Dean is 💯 % on it ! 🤟
100% 🛥🥂
Pavlova is from New Zealand……. Close though ;)
We need to see more from the galley, there’s never enough!
Noted !
I agree. It’s why I just posted a comment on this video about setting up GoPros and time lapsing the footage.
Loved this one!!

Hey @billy, We'll try and film more of the interior its just hard as we dont show the guests.
Always a great day when Loon videos drop
We're glad we can bring some joy to your day with our videos! Just doing my part to make the world a little loonier! 🛥🥂
If you can't have fun at what you do then why the hell do it at all! @@motoryachtloon
Bjorn is such a great MVP in this episode.
Winner of the episode is definitely Bjorn 🙂 Wet Santa!
Sorry, but Pavlova is definitely Kiwi. The Aussies can only dream......😜
Nope. Apparently the Kiwis came up with a crispy version - then the Aussies made a soft one.which is now preferred
Pavlova is all over the world mate.
Beautiful boat and a great crew sadly my pockets are too shallow for such a great boat but I do enjoy watching the vids.
I binged watched you guys and caught up so now I have to slowly sip each new episode to savor them and make them last until the next one. Happy holidays to you all 🎄
When you go to the fabulous places for your characters do you get to see any other super yachts as epic as Loon

Love you guys. Keep up the good work❤
Happy new year🎉
Santa Shawn is going to live on for generations. Well done yet again Loon Crew.
This looked like an amazing time. The islands and the sea were just beautiful. Loved this.
I really appreciate how positive, friendly and all of the smiles from the crew. I have recently become permanently disabled and watching you all have so much fun and cheer helps me enjoy your yacht vicariously. Thanks so much to all of you and Captain Paul.
So glad to hear that we can cheer you up ! All the best
I love how this was filmed! Super cool to see all the realistic behind the scenes. Keep it up Loon crew ✨👏👏🦆
Nice work Paul and team - huge fan of the channel and really enjoy each instalment. Great to see this charter tip was better than a previous one which I couldn't believe but well handled by you. Hope the scales balance out at some point which I'm sure they do. Best regards.

Love the channel. Getting tired of the ads.
Sorry we dont control the ads.. blame google.
That Yebo from Davey couldn't be more South African 🇿🇦 than it was 🤣🤣🤣
Love your videos............. the food for the crew looked wonderful. HUGS and Happy New Year guys!!
Happy New Year Loon Crew! 😄
You guys put a smile on my face from beginning to end. Thank you.
Thanks for the great content
The crew's Christmas lunch looked delicious! Do Dean and Nina each get to work some of both the Med & Caribbean seasons?
Yes they rotate out every two months
Happy new year to chef Shawny, what a gem
Y'all, I love it. The professionalism, the fun, the games. Bravo.
Any merchandise yet? Keep up the best videos on Utube!!!
Yes you guys came through to aid my withdrawal! Brilliant vlog…lot of work goes into them…..go Loon go Loon. Love from Nord Norge

Had I had any knowledge of the charter yacht industry when I left the navy back in the early 90’s my career would have taken a much different path.
Captain Paul going Womp Womp was crack up ahahahaha
What a great way to start the new year, wish you a great 2024! :)
Amazing video as always Blair.
I did not know the Pavlova was a Kiwi/ Australian dish. I love making that, everyone loves it. Simple and surprising.
I love this ! Such an epic Christmas ❤️
Another great video, some great sunset shots and I'll say it again, I love that chase boat. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your lovely comment! We really appreciate your support and we're thrilled that you enjoyed the video. The sunset shots were truly breathtaking, and we are glad you liked the chase boat too. 🛥🥂
I love your show. How long does it take to get to be a helper, and what kind of schooling do you need
As soon as I saw the Pavlova I knew where this was going.... Its Kiwi all the way, Aussies try and steal everything 🤣
hahaha we still think its Aussie. Not enough Kiwis onboard to fight back 😂
Best Crew Ever!
A Very Happy New Year to all!👏👏👏🥂
Fun, professional content!
Do you content on the behind the scenes problems/logistics/staffing?

Excellent MY Loon. Thank You.
Dream yacht to explare Playa Grande
What a Christmas lunch for the crew 🙂
You need to publish a cook book with those recipes!!
Wonderful video and series … but a little sad you are away from your families on Xmas day.
Happy new year everyone, bloody brilliant as usual. Take care and see you soon.
