When i saw Courtney relaxing near Captain Paul @22:44 I had this 'Mom and Dad are driving the boat'-kinda feeling :D. Mom and Dad are relaxed so everything is going smoothly!
I congratulate all of you, for giving others a real sense of what operating a motor yacht and chartering same involves. Most people think that it's all "fun and glamour", without realizing how much work is involved; the logistics, regulations, operating expenses, liability, legalities... and so forth. Stay Safe. Keep up the good work.
Mam "O" man that's a "HUGE" amount of supplies ( Food) coming on the stern deck. Lots of organizing. Great job by the crew for so many boxes, that tender is such a great support vessel for getting food on board before the guest arrive 😊 It reminds me of large Navy vessels resupply at sea from the Logistics ships that are in my Humble opinion the backbone of Navy fleet resupply 😊
Don't forget, Loon has 19 crew. Add 10-15 passengers and you're looking at feeding 30+ people for a while. Also, quite a lot of the stuff they're getting is fairly bulky (at least the packaging is) to avoid damaging it in transit...
I love your content. Especially when you guys are covering things from the bridge and discussing operations, engineering and navigation. Incredibly interesting. Had a chance to crew a yacht a long time ago based out of South Florida but passed on the opportunity. This channel fills that void for me. Thank you guys for all your content. It's fantastic.
Excellent camera work Steve. Yeah that red sand dust/volcanic dust what ever is a nuisance. And it isn't just the boats that have to deal with it. The hotels, restaurants, cafes airports. That's the price you've got to pay to be in the Med. Yes you lucked out on the weather. Looking forward to next video cheers. Nina and Judy are going to make a great pair in the Galley. Looking forward to next weeks video
Hi Jonathan, we always look forward to your comment. Yes the red Saharan dust is the WORST! It’s great to have Nina back onboard and Judy is settling in well. See you next week 🛥️😎
Lovely voyage, as you potter pass Italy. To Croatia ..... Love you coming here its a lovely country great scenery. You all seen to to love coing here. Great behind the scenes look, hope you win the war against the red rain.
22:45 It's good that the entire crew (well, more than just the deckhands anyway) stand bridge watches on Loon, quite a few yachts exclude the hotel staff from the seamanship side of operations and that's not how they learn. Having the hotel staff learn the basics of seamanship makes for a well-rounded crew who can fill a variety of roles in a pinch. In this case, it meant more hands available for the second, unexpected washdown.
You guys were a few days ahead of us, and boy was it HOT! Love the videos. Most don’t know that ‘red rain’ is dust carried from a wind storm from the Sahara and then mixed with rain over the Mediterranean.
Thank you for doing a real LARGE charter vessel 😊❤😊 leaving Port YOU my Captain friend talked about WIND issues on especially enter of port with small opening for a vessel of your size. When you are talking in the pilot house I love how you keep ( Engine reading) on the Big screen in front of you at the helm. I am a nerd about watching and listening to my small (5.7-350 ) GM block with Volvo out-drive. I have had plenty of very close calls on entry to marine and docking. I had a Captain like you do a class, with my small boat with me and wife. Man I love your videos, keep it up, you teach and show the real thing. You are the real deal "NO" the TV bull crap, let's get higher ratings with crew just bad mouthing charter guests, and cook always melting down over a special dinner the guest want The TV show below decks makes the high end chartering look so bad. Your video changes that. Thank you again for sharing your cruising between ports in a wonderful location far, far away from me.
The 'behind the scenes' of the live stream is nice addition of footage. Good idea I was there at live stream too. The videos in general are much better now! For me I'd like to know / be in the engine room when there is some undocking movement. So you hear the engines rev up and working.
Thank you for you video. The most interesting content on RU-vid!! As an idea for a new video - could you please demonstrate and describe about refueling process of the yacht. Thank you for your videos!!
@@motoryachtloonthe videos since Monaco have been on a different level! Incredibly professional and an absolute joy to watch. Fantastic job Steve and to all the crew involved. Thank you for letting us tag along on these adventures (:
Thanks Jessice, we’ve made lots of changes to the behind the scenes in post and we are incredibly happy with how they’re turning out and glad everyone is noticing. Thank you 🙏
The red rain, every deckhand in the Med hates the red Rain with a passion. First time I saw it I thought someone vandalized the yacht and I was called a total brogan. Also, a moment of silence for M/Y Atina
The overhead map views that show the route/destinations with the boat.. I much preferred the older type with the little boat icon that rocks around as its shown travelling.
Capt Paul that goggle tan line you got from ur sunglasses is SUPERB!!! lolol you need to keep them sunglasses off for a solid WEEK at least to counter that imbalance xDDD
Interesting. I watched Nina first and when she left the other yacht and ended up on Loon, I started watching it. It has MTU S4000 main engines and I retired from MTU in 2015 so that was a bonus
Hello Loon crew and captain, love you your videos and your navigation; when you are coming to Marina Casa de Campo Dominican Republic? I’m yacht captain in here in DR.
Captain Paul another piece Cinematography masterpiece, totally professionals you lot 👍Captain Paul any offers for Loon 😊 Thank you for another flawless episode, MY Loon rocks
@@motoryachtloon that what I said “you lot” but always agree that the team are so seamless in the operation of MY Loon and your not bad skipper as well
I’m so glad they have a sous chef again! I was so shocked at the sheer amount of cooking Dean and Nina were having to do for not just the guests but the crew completely solo
One thing that I would Love to see you do video wise, is show cooks ( two great female chefs) show step by step, the stages of meal preparation 😊❤😊 I would love to see what they start presenting the first step, then how they keep that warm, as they go on to the next foods that are cooked. I just want to see a professional chef, do a meal, start the point of dishing on plates, it might sound stupid, but that interests me on how they make the final plates of food look so excellent 👍 and guest love.😊❤😊
Next time you do a passage like this how about you take a guest, me!. I promise I’ll be no problem and I’ll even pitch in on some taste testing of food and drinks 🤷🏻♀️ Katie 😊
