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.
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
I absolutely loved this video.. wonderful editing by Steve: Awesome Quality. Fascinating discussion with Tyler and CPC on the bridge who discuss the voyage to Florida 🙌🙌🙌
You got a real taste of what mother nature can dish up , fun to watch all of crew test their skills . Vessel seems little bow heavy , after action shots you probably shifted ballast orientation . keep up the good work .
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!
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
20 years ago i was a passenger on a 1000 ton coaster in the English Channel in a force 8. The big old skool TV that was strapped on a shelf flew across the Galley .
Great shots. We really don't ever get a sense for how fast the boat is. Just because with guests on board staying out of unsettled seas is the priority. But when shes underway in big seas you really see how quick and powerful she is through the water.
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!
It always looks great when a ship plows itself through the waves! Many superyachts are restricted for sailing in too heavy conditions, for example, some are not allowed to sail out in certain waters with windforces above beaufort 6 or in a certain seastate (for example seastate 6 (which is not the same as the beaufort 6!). Of course that hampers them a bit, but in many cases there is a lot one can do to avoid such conditions with the help of modern weather predictions and still being able to navigate certain waters! Happy sailing everybody!
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….
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.
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
Ha, try 20-25 ft seas in Drakes passage with a blown engine and functioning on electric drive on the back from Antarctica. 8 ft seas…… bin in bigger in a sail boat Newport or Bermuda race. If they knew they were going into rough seas, you batten everything down inside and out. This seems a bit funky to me.
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.
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 alone 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
When you say "Judy couldn't handle it so she went on holiday" (26:43), what does that mean before an Atlantic crossing? Does a crew member going on holiday just before a crossing mean they will fly to the new destination across the ocean and meet up with the ship after the crossing? Or do they miss the entire rotation and their rotation partner who is currently on holiday has to end their holiday and fly immediately to meet the ship? How often does that happen to crew members?
How often is lifeboat drills , Fire drills ... All the crew qualified in fire fighting etc .. How many water tight doors is there ??? How strong is the Glass can the glass withstand constant pounding in force 10-12 conditions
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? 🤔 😂
yes, we have a weather routing service that we use, but we also double-check it with the information we have onboard. But sometimes, as long as it's safe to do so, we just got to go through it.
Congrats to Captain Tyler!!!
The drone footage of Loon smashing through the waves was awesome!!!
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.

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. 😊❤️
One of the best episodes. Really looking forward to part 2 and 3 with Captain Tyler
Thanks everyone for the great support and comments! Keep watching as the crossing unfolds 😉 Thanks again Paul for the opportunity 💪🏼
Captain Tyler has a nice ring to it, congrats dude
Everytime I see Loon I think to myself. That is a damn good looking vessel.
We agree 😎
Agree she is a beauty!!
Video shots keep getting better and better. Drone footage all around the 4 minute mark was absolutely stunning!
Fantastic to see Tyler taking the reins for the crossing! It’s been great to watch his journey/training with Capt Paul (:
Really interesting and cool video - thanks guys! It’s the owners that make this feasible ❤ but it’s the crew that makes it possible!! 👏👏👏👍👍👍!!

Thanks TC 🥂
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
The crew seem such a lovely bunch of people from around the world
Congrats Tyler! Glad to see you guys made it safe!
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!
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.
Very professional Captain and Crew.
Thank you Roger :)
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. 😀😀

😰😱😰😱😰 rather you than me. 😱
@ it wasn’t fun
Awesome video going thru those swells with the drone
Crazy time to cross the Atlantic I wish I could have been in the wheelhouse during the crossing
I will never forget crossing on the qe2 in rough seas
So thorough in all respects, Gib arrival was immaculate. Well done all! Till next time...
20 years ago i was a passenger on a 1000 ton coaster in the English Channel in a force 8. The big old skool TV that was strapped on a shelf flew across the Galley .
Oh wow! That could have ended badly.
We enjoy every video. Hope the Loon is bought by someone who cares to allow this footage to continue.
Great shots. We really don't ever get a sense for how fast the boat is. Just because with guests on board staying out of unsettled seas is the priority. But when shes underway in big seas you really see how quick and powerful she is through the water.

Yall departed nearby my all time favorite hotel in the world - Grand Hotel du Cap Ferrat!!! Memories ❤❤
Such a beautiful spot 🛥️😍

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've never seen footage from a yacht before this should be very interesting thank you.
Congrats Taylor well derserved mate
Dude! The drone photography is world class! Get off that boat and go to Hollywood.
Thank you ☺️
I'd love to take a trip like this 😊
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.
Fantastic channel. Great content and presentation. 🇦🇺🦘😀
Thoroughly enjoyed watching, really interesting!

Fantastic adventure!
An example of a pleasure boat. She loves to nose plow. I would keep my survival suit handy on that crossing
Great team .

wow thanks for sharing Marvin. Thats crazy! Pretty sure we're not allowed to do that anymore.
I love the crossing videos! I like them better than the charters.
Thanks for sharing👍🦋👍🦋👍🦋

Good luck everyone and have a nice rest capt Paul.
I really miss working offshore 😊
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.
He’s off the boat 🛥️ Party time 🥳🎉🎊🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍
😳
Y’all should take it in haul over inlet
Great coverage enjoyed
Tyler has a good opportunity to grow a great mullet, he is almost there. Rock the mullet! Tristen's pornstar stache needs to be recognized also.
hahaha please don't encourage them 🙄
Another great, informative piece. It looked like the weather map display showed a date of 10/2023. Right or wrong?
That’s the date the last time the trip calculator (odometer) was reset
3:48 is looking soooo insane😍😍
Where was the bad weather/difficult journey? looked like a calm passage.
I would love to see the main screen close up. Teach us the software, that would be really cool to learn how it works.
Cleaning with a squeezy, you have got to be joking.
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.
That must have been soooo rough. Poor people 😂
Interesting vlog…all that swell you need a bigger boat Paul! Stor klem fra NORD Norge
we're working on it 😎
@ I know
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%
I fully agree. EXPLORATION yachts with WIDE HIGH BOWS are best for transatlantic big swells. Parting the ocean, not trying to cut through the swells.
I expected a bigger key. 😂
haha, to be honest, there isn't even a key.. I'm not sure what that key is for. 😂
Stay Safe out there Winter is in.....😛
Have y'all ever used D-Dey for training. Our old boss had us take the medical course. Really good training and teachers.
Does the heavy sea effect fuel consumption as much as I think?
Hi guys. Can I ask what those round things are on the ceiling above your head when speaking from the bridge? Is it a periscope or something?
I’d love to see more interior coverage… rather than majority deck crew!
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
Bit different to ‘Below Deck’ 😜
You need to use earthquake putty on things to keep them in place. Use in my RV and nothing moves when traveling
You make me feel like I'm part of the crew
When are you arriving to Tenerife? I live here and would love to meet you guys
More info about the size of the boat and who owns it in the beginning would be appreciated.
When you say "Judy couldn't handle it so she went on holiday" (26:43), what does that mean before an Atlantic crossing? Does a crew member going on holiday just before a crossing mean they will fly to the new destination across the ocean and meet up with the ship after the crossing? Or do they miss the entire rotation and their rotation partner who is currently on holiday has to end their holiday and fly immediately to meet the ship? How often does that happen to crew members?
What happened to the sous chef? Was it too rough or was her departure planned? Hope she'll be back!
Loading the boat into the ‘ship’ 😳 do you hose off before loaded while up in the air or do you hose down while inside
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
It seems to me that if you can afford a boat like this, then you can afford one for the Mediterranean and another for the USA/Caribbean!
Interesting
Why they venture out in a storm? Where one day later they would have missed it. Maybe time constraint, but was it worth it?
i would be so sick there's no way i could do that
Question. If the swell was so bad why did you not wait a day or two until it calmed down. Was there a deadline to meet?
How often is lifeboat drills , Fire drills ... All the crew qualified in fire fighting etc ..
How many water tight doors is there ???
How strong is the Glass can the glass withstand constant pounding in force 10-12 conditions
That KIT shouldn't be falling regardless of the weather - things move about when you're not sat in St. Tropez
Is this a privately owned yacht you’re sailing for the owner?
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? 🤔 😂
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!
hahaha 😂
Why is it Paul looked like a nervous father handing his car key over to a newly licensed teenage son?😊
haha very nervous yet proud at the same time
Does Loon use a weather routing service (eg; OTSR)? Does insurance require it?
yes, we have a weather routing service that we use, but we also double-check it with the information we have onboard. But sometimes, as long as it's safe to do so, we just got to go through it.
Didnt you guys and gals just cross the Atlantic like a couple months ago? How or what makes it so profitable to do the crossings so frequently?
Do you not "secure for sea " on a yacht ? , im amazed at the amount of unsecured items ?
Just found this. Is this something super yachts do regularly?
As in move locations?
@ crossing the Atlantic.
Twice a year. Caribbean for the winter, Mediterranean for the summer 🛥️🌊
What a mixed signal Nike and Addidas
What country is Martin from? I'm german and his accent sounds familiar!
How long ago was this footage taken? Haven't you guys been in the states and Cayman islands for a while now??
