My wife asked me why I enjoy watching M/Y Loon on UA-cam. It’s because of videos like this. Paul is such a likable guy (so is the crew!), where would I ever see a video of a tour up this river and…it’s not Below Decks! Shout out to eSysman Super Yachts for spending a segment in Monaco about Loon! The two best UA-cam super yacht channels, bar none.
Brilliant, thank you, John. 😎

Paul does indeed appear to be a nice guy but I also get the impression that he's not a man you would want to "disappoint". He'd be a great boss but his expectations would be very high. That makes him an ideal superyacht skipper.
💯 percent agree, the 2 best channels on UA-cam 😊
Love Esysman

Ye, i agree 100%, the only 2 yachting channels that i follow.
Sorry i missed one, of course it's Nina, the Crew Chef.
Paul is not just a great captain but also a really good vlogger!
I'm learning from @thecrewchef 😎
And a pretty good tour guide 😅
When a Super Yacht Capitan is also a hidden vlogger inside what do you get? One of the best channels on UA-cam with some of the best views and content along with behind-the-scenes access that only few were privileged to. In other words, views on views on views.
Just wanted to send a quick thank you for making these videos. I know you are very busy with your charters and I appreciate you taking the time to give us a glimpse into your life as yachties.
Your appreciation means a lot to us. It's a pleasure to share our yacht adventures with you. ☺️
If I was younger (currently 61) I would be all over this life 👍
I too am 61 and I choose to live vicariously through this channel. We are never too old to dream! 🤣
Ditto
Watching these videos is like getting a boost of Vitamin D. Thanks for sharing all this with us and spreading happiness!
For those of us that can’t. Can through your videos. Thank you ❤️👍🇨🇦
English must be super hard for you 🤣🤣
Well said... 👏
The wealth along the waterway is incredible. Just buying them for a place to park their "row boat" is another. Jeez. Thanks Paul for showing us the story, absolutely amazing as all the Loon vlogs. Off to the Med now. Paul it would be a hoot to set on the deck, drinking something cold and hearing the stories.
I've had some experience with forklifts. Mostly moving loaded wood pallets around, in and out of steel racking, etc. Seeing that massive lift handle boats, and the racks full of boats, is just awesome! Thanks for showing how they do this!!
Little nervous that they have to reinforce the rack to hold the weight-especially up high!!
@@Marcelmopartruckguy For sure! Uhh... we'll get some better brackets....and then try something more than we've ever been rated for...
Fabulous job as always fellas!🎉 " T/T Loon" will be waiting anxiously for her caring crews return. Thanks for sharing Captain, always a pleasure to watch.
Keep bringing this content to us. As a land based creature, I learn so much about the yachting world. So interesting.
Always up for learning something when Captain Paul is off loading knowledge....😊... same as the comment above.... im in my 60s now and totally love watching the Loon crew.. !
Thank you, Susan. ☺️
Definitely could have a beer with capt Paul!!
🍻
This is a sweet tour of the area from the Tender and the process of storing it. The video edit was also great; the music was normalized with the other audio, and even the little things, like the animation of the crew flag, really made the video great.
I grew up in that area and I've boated those rivers countless times. Thanks for the lovely trip down memory lane!
Very interesting video. I grew up in Miami so I know these areas well. I pass that boat yard every time I travel back to Miami. Great video.
I grew up in Florida and around the intercoastal waterway. I've been from St Augustine to the end of the waterway on a 44ft sail boat and never knew the history of it. We spent our summers in and around the river. Great memories.
Love this , so interesting to see the twists and turns of this river , beautiful x
The Fort Lauderdale New River is a beautiful piece of waterway in Sth Florida.
Very much enjoyed another look into Loon life. Love seeing the canal water ways and storage solution’s needed for the tender. Cheers 👏🐨🍍
Thank you Captain Paul and Team for another great educational and insight video. 🙏🏽🫶🏽 love from 🇯🇲💚💛❤️, 🇻🇨💙💛💚, 🇦🇺💚💛 and 🇳🇿🖤🤍
Loved the history lesson!! Nice job.
Captain Paul - The Content Creator 👌
Very impressed with your production values. Seamless editing that we barely notice. Excellent audio, and lots of background information about the journey.
Paul is a cool man!
Great video well done Loon team, love the river journey.
Just simply love these loon videos. You guys are amazing
Great informative video. Still loving the new editing style. Calm and pleasant to watch. Thanks guys!
Really enjoyed this video! So interesting and informative. Nice to learn about another part of the whole picture. Thank you. 😀
I used to live around Las Olas and worked at the BMW next to West Marine. It’s nice to see what it’s like going through all of these bridges and making cars wait for you 😂😂
Cool video Capt. Paul, neat to see all the work behind the scenes
Just realised how big she is it was the aerial shots. Which where great thanks boys Chris and Tim????. Doing good with shots of the river, showing off F.L.
Love ur vids hopefully can see you guys in croatia during the summer, would be a dream
Great vid and like the background of the building of the Canal and the various properties.
WOW one of the beat vid ever. thanks
Absolutely awesome video… great information.. looks an awesome base for ur tender. Great information. Amazing as always x
Well, I was worried about Captain Paul's navigation skills after he described the bay with 365 degrees of protection, but now I know I'll never let him walk my dogs if he's just gonna drag them around! ;)
Loved the video! The ride up the river was great!
Wonderful drone shots on the way up to the yard.
Thanks for sharing!
Excellent content as always!
Racking up a boat. I learnt something new
So much work involved with the floating hotel.
Just getting into these videos. Giving me the boating bug again lol, but I don't misss the cost of owning one 😂
Great video guys.
Saw you guys in the background in one of emery wallerich’s videos when they were docked like 2 yachts behind you. The yacht was called M/y Temptation
Great one, thanks.
Well done boss man!
So nice watching you guys sail past all the sites i was looking at this xmas with my family. Sadly i was on the water taxi not in the spectacular HCB but i'll take any chance to be on the water over on florida. Great video as usual.
Great content!
Great content as allways!
you knew every inch of the way there but didn't know an airport was beside the marina......lol great video mate
LOL Didn’t have to know until he became a drone pilot. 😂
This was a great vid!!
Man I really miss home. Born at Broward General, grew up in Ft. Lauderdale.
Just down the road from where we dock. We love calling FLL our home port.
Cool vid, Cap, nice presentation. It's really good to see the behind the scenes stuff, as it were. I realize ya'll are looking for charters, but I think your videos are great recruiting videos for future yachties :).
❤️❤️❤️ this channel
Cool video 😎
Nice one Capt. Paul and you BOYS did a great job with the drone footage. I did not realize the extent of the water ways in and around Fort Lauderdale. I know you made it to Monaco as I've seen the video's however I hope your flight there was a good one. And it had better have been business or first class you flew. Looking forward to next video.
Thanks, Johnathan; here is a little more of the BTS of what goes into running the program. The flight was great, thank you.

Nice vlog Paul….glad we are both back….Nord Norge
Thank you as always Morten 🛥🥂
Another awesome video! Really loved all the tech details and the tour of the river was fun too. Two questions: 1. will the boat get shrink wrapped or covered in some way before going on the rack? 2. why not get a diesel powered chase boat so you can bunker from Loon? Just curious... Thanks for all the amazing content!!!
Thanks, Barry. Yes, we have a full boat cover for the tender. It was just off getting serviced. The cover will go on once the detailing team has finished before it goes up in the rack.
Unfortunately, Yamaha doesn't make diesel outboards. Our chase boat in the Med is a diesel, and we bunker it from Loon. Luckily, the HCB holds over 1,000 gallons of gas, so we don't need to bunker her that often.
Thanks for watching

Thanks for sharing👍🌸👍🌸👍🌸
had a tiny 50 ton ticket on the west coast, newport harbor in socal. I used to point out to passengers that it's amazing what 2.5 million won't buy you. Florida there, it's the same. I was running boats back in the 90's tho...
Can't afford any of this yet. I WILL WORK HARDER!. Thanks for the great video - keeps me motivated 😀
Good luck 🍀
Love love love this channel. Paul please check out the lump on your right bicep. It's probably nothing... But just do it. Peace and love.
Check into FAA Part 107; It covers commercial drone use, a 107 pilot maybe able to request a waiver to fly under a certain altitude close to airport in the USA.
Brilliant! a shoe rack for huge boats!
Haha I've never thought of it like that
Awesome!.. love the chase boats!.. best wishes from sunny Spain! Great channel.. really enjoy watching what you guys get up to! Well done!
You guys make great content, very interesting…you should check out the Viggo C10 as a superyacht tender.
thanks for watching the V10 looks awesome. Not quite what we need, but it still looks like a fun, fast boat. 😎
My home town
love FLL ❤️
Paul I watch the weather for a living and I'm sorry to inform you this hurricane season is more likely than not to be anything like last year 😢
Yep, we're watching it, too, and making sure our insurance is fully covered. Hopefully, we get lucky for another year. 🤞
You didn’t show us your mansion on the waterfront Captain 😎😳👍enjoyed that video 👍👍👍
Hahaha, I have a little condo that I'm lucky if I spend 30 days a year in. Maybe one day I'll have one of these beautiful houses on the ICW 😎
Great video, Capt Paul, did I hear you say the Yamaha's are getting new lower units?
Yes, and theyre getting paint matched white to the engines.
Fabulous video guys! Love getting a look into what happens behind the scenes as such!
My pal is super yacht captain on a 200ft yacht. Says paul is top guy.
interesting video, any idea what the black yacht at 9:44 is? looks different
Very interesting! I have a question for you. How many of those four engines do you keep running while moving through these inland canals?
Have you ever considered swapping the outboards for OXE Marine Diesel 300hp Units. Better torque and you can fuel directly from loon. Likely better economy too.
Great question. The whole industry is watching the OXE outboards hoping this is the future. However, they are currently too heavy, do not have enough HP, and are not reliable enough for out-of-the-way extended cruising. Hopefully, this will be corrected over the next few years, as having diesel outboards would be amazing. 😎
That water looks pretty fresh so it would be fair to say that the motors got a good flush to get a lot of the salt out them?👍
Nice shots of the run up the river. Paul, why the new lower units on almost brand-new outboards?
The white ones that originally came with the HCB had a warranty issue. But due to our schedule we couldn’t wait so we put on some loaners from HCB for the winter while our new one got painted. Now it’s time to swap them back 🤙
@@motoryachtloon Thanks, now it makes sense.
For vessels like this that have multiple outboards, can you / do you ever run fewer of them to save fuel, or is the general performance compromised?
I watched a video of superyacht captain Tristan mortlick bringing a pretty big superyacht ( I’m sure not in loons league) along that river where the left then the right were etc - was crazy. A few of the bridges and those two turns were a bit squeaky bum - I bet you’re glad you didn’t have to bring something anywhere near the size of loon up!
So, whilst you were doing this, crew had already completed their Atlantic crossing? Is it my mind playing tricks, or is everything really out of sequence?
👍👍
Do you drain fluids and fuel from the outboards and boat before storing it?
No, we don't need to winterize the boat in Florida. She will receive a full service later in the year and all new fluids before being splashed in October. 🛥🥂
Is the HCB covered during dry dock? That would be a good thing, I am sure. 🤗
Yes, it has a full boat cover. We just hadn't put it on yet at the time of filming, as there was still work being done on the boat 😎
@@motoryachtloon That is good to know! Many thanks. 🤗
I came to this channel because of Nina. I find the group on the Loon good fun to follow. But I’m a desert guy, a little to mush water for me. Have fun folks.
This may be a dumb question but, when you're running at low speeds up the channels, do you still run all four motors, or do you have the ability to shut down two & conserve fuel?
Hey Gary, that's a great question. Yes, we do. For most of this video, we were just on the 2 outboard engines. Reducing the hours on the motors can save considerably on fuel and operational costs, extending the time between services. A full service on quad 450hp engines can cost up to $20k, so reducing the hours on the motors can save considerably. 😎
Paul missed that Atlantic crossing. Such a wise man, lol
hahaha I've done enough 😎
Paul, two questions: Why do you leave that tender in FLL and not drag it across to the Med? When you're moving the HCB a short distance and low speed, do you still run all four engines?
Hey Tony, We have two chase boats: the HCB in the Caribbean and the Anvera in the Mediterranean. If you haven't already seen the Anvera video we did last year, go check it out. Both boats have different purposes and uses. Also, insurance wouldn't let us tow the HCB across the Atlantic due to the risk of losing it. Also, the extra fuel burn caused by the drag of the tender doesn't justify it on long trans-ocean passages. If we were to bring the HCB to Europe, we would ship it and pick it up this side.
2nd question: Yes, we often drop down engines if we are just putting them along. 🛥🥂
I'd keep this new camera guy, he's pretty decent onscreen too.
we think so to ☺️
At 5:24 a Swedish flag 👍👍
Nice spotting. They've sailed that Lagoon Cat a long way. 🇸🇪
@@motoryachtloon Yes indeed. Nice channel you have 👌👌
Was just wondering,not knowing anything more about yachting then the common person, if it would make any sense of chartering the chase boat instead of docking it during the offseason.
What is the unit you have strapped to the top of the drone? Float?
Yep, it's a life jacket we use in case of an unexpected water landing.
Did you do the BMW flat tire challenge this time, Paul? 😉
HAHAHAHA I learned my lesson on that one. 😂
Which is more sporty and fun to drive? The HCB with its quad engines or the Anvera.
They're both completely different boats, and I love them both equally in different ways.
-CPC
@@motoryachtloon I can see why as they are both amazing looking boats. I really like the way the rear of the Anvera opens up to provide a much larger area for activities. Whereas I’m sure the HCB is capable of carrying more people and having higher horsepower. I know the other boat (forgive me I don’t remember the name) you carry onboard is your “Fun” having boat.
@@P-J-W-777 the Nautique?
@@neutr1no yeah I believe that’s it.
you should've put a camera on the forklift a drive around with a forks fully extended so it is like a drone
Ahhh great idea next time!
What the cost per foot to pull / put in & out of water
I didn’t think they’ed rack a 53, but now I know.
I believe this might be the first yard that can lift 53s into the rack.
The bridge you identified as State Road 84 is actually Davie Blvd. You never went as far as State Road 84. Also you should have pointed out the Greybar Hilton (Jail) next to the Andrews Ave bridge.
Correct whoops. Been a few years since I've been that far up the river. Ahh yeah, of course the jail would have been cool. Next time. 😎
Do you do anything to keep the fuel stabilized and flush the engines and stuff?
The engines got a good flush prior to going up in the rack. As we use Rec90 fuel, we don't put in any additives, but we do fill the tank up 100% to stop condensation from forming in the fuel tank. 🤙
What's the damage on portside at waterline just in front of the forklift tines?
Hey Peter, nice spotting. The boat has a wrap to match the color of Loons' hull. On the trip up from the Caribbean, some of it peeled off. It's already been repaired for next season.
-CPC
I have a question for you Loon guys, how many/who all operates the drones that we see the footage of?
Most of the deck crew can fly drones. So, depending on what was happening that day, it could be any of us. In this video, we had Dylan onboard, who was flying the drones and getting all the shots. 😎
@@motoryachtloon I was kinda getting that impression, just curious as the drone was shown and talked about a lot in this video. Thanks.
Does anyone ever fish from the deck of LOON? I've never seen that!! ❤❤
