Welldone! Pls don't start with the "Shocking", you "won't believe what happens next" clickbait subject lines.
Amen
Could not agree more. Keep up w/ the great content but discard the clickbaits
I will unsubscribe if they keep doing this
Agree I'm a huge fan of these videos but please don't go down this route
@@pesqairI noticed this awhile ago and unsubscribed although I still watch out of interest to see how they progress on this current basis . I’ll say that they constitute a splendid crew and it’s always interesting and good to know matters from the perspective of crew. I’ll be sorry if they go down the wrong route , so to speak.
Congrats on the 100k milestone... well deserved! I would still like to see the guest experience from a "guest" POV, beyond the welcome drink coming on board. You could take someone like Paige and make her the "guest" coming on board for the first time and go through the on boarding process, showing her to her room, introducing all of the amenities, etc. That would be awesome to see day one of a guest. C'mon, you got this lol. If you want to add some hilarity to it, make Saun her "husband" and let them banty about as they explore the ship on "first day aboard". Lots of potential for humor and potential gust experience here... just saying...
Building on this idea; At one point some time ago AWOL (Tristan/SuperYachtCaptain) was talking about giving away a week long charter, perhaps consdier doing something like this with the condition that it can be filmed. Give your viewers a real glimpse into the guest experience and the perspective and thoughts of somenone that otherwise would likely never have that sort of experience. Keep up the awesome content!
Yeeesss!!! 😊
Sounds like a plan.
Video Idea: The business end of running a yacht (financials, backend operations, before the guests arrive)
Or maybe how a charter gets setup beforehand? Like why does the Captain sign the "contract"? What can or can't you do schedule-wise based on where the boat is from the previous charter?
Def need more sea stories from Paul and Davie!
The crew having a sea chanty-thon.
The worst and best ports you've been too, and why.
How does one 'get into' yachting as crew (not just where the idea came to the team, but the actual steps taken in their early career.)
A swim/jump/dive/surfing competition with the crew.
Bring in a UA-camr guest who's willing to share their side of the charter along with yours.
More guest horror stories/spilled tea.
What's a good guest or what makes a charter especially good for the crew as well as the guests.
Some more dive shots. SCUBA in particular.
Congrats on the 100K subscribers!
Ideas for video...
1) A day in the life of a typical guests day (1 for activities and 1 for meals) and have the crew substitute in as the guests. I know many videos have part of the experiences and you help us to understand but would be nice to see. May be fun for the crew to have some fun. Could be a multiple video series depending how you break it down.
2) Another idea is to do a compare/contrast video of the different islands (showing what is better and why) as one who has not visited, I am interested in these type of considerations. Might be fun to start with categories and have the crew provide their input and then has video to show some of the comparisons/contrasts.
3) Crew scavenger hunt competition (this could be a series) - help to educate about the place(s) you are in which can involve in water/on ship/on land, etc. Clues about the place (history/geographical), parts of the ship, etc. You can do winner per segment and then overall.
Id also love to see some of the more nitty gritty about like paperwork for going in and out of countries, dealing with customs for bringing alcohol in and out of countries and so on
Congratulations on 100k!!!
Here are some ideas:
I'm very technical so I would enjoy seeing the engine room during diffferent phases of operations. Same with the bridge. Might not be overly popular.
Maybe a view into everyone's typical workday on charter. "A day in the life of..."
A detailed look at all the toys, tenders, seadoos. I've always wondered about the beach landing craft.
Docking in tight spaces is always a great watch, I'll always enjoy docking procedures.
You should do a video about the way you choose where to take guests. You are picking the charter location but then where do you decide to go after that? Do you find out what the guests want to do and base it on that? Do you get a sense of how they'll be on day one and decide? I worked on yachts that would do that. Obviously the charter agent asked them in advance and we get an idea, but explain the charter process. What happens the moment a guest calls to book a charter? Maybe get the charter manager in the video. My favorite is the big envelope of cash for the tip on Below Deck. People think that actually happens, amd I've seen an gotten individual cash tips, but explain how the tipping actually works because in your 'tip meeting' you aren't throwing out stacks of cash, lol.
Blair, You are definitely a trend setter in the Yachting UA-cam community! Congratulations on the 100k. You would have never made it this far without your Great crew. Especially the Chef staff ( yeah Paul you’re wrong).
A Video where you do "Crew Olympics". You do different sports like swimming, cliffdiving, etc to determine the sportiest crewmember.
Congrats on 100k. You guys and gals are killing it!
Paul, and other team leaders: LOON and all of you are so awesome - in my experience, there is no other yacht channel that shares so much. And so many of us who follow you are soooo curious about all aspects of the industry, daily life, dealing with clients, and candidly, visiting some of the places you see - Croatia, the Riviera, the Caribbean, and on and on. (I was following Nina for a long time, and found you with her sojourn.) We also appreciate the LOON's owner - clearly a welcoming spirit and on board with a very different style of charter operation and channel, professional crew relationships, and sharing with us. Well done. I hope to follow your wake for a long fetch. Thanks.
Congratulations y’all! Look forward to these videos every week! 🤘
CONGRATULATIONS! I’ve been subscribed since you began. LOVE it!
Paul is definitely the Cap. He has the same mentality of all the Captains I've ever met. And yes, even with HR. I was assistant manager for years and I never liked the HR process. Congrats all your milestones. Hope for more to come!
Congratulations on 100k!!! Well deserved.
Really enjoy crew history. Nice to see some personalities come out. Congrats on the 100,000 + mark. Glad I subscribed. Always look forward to Loon content.
I would like to see more technical content as well; I know others have said the same. I know its not so glamorous, but deep dives with the engineers about what is going on in the engine room, or the technical side of what really goes into maneuvers, or anchoring, or charting, etc... How does the internet work? What do those servers look like? Lets see some repairs in action! I also think it could be interesting to let each department vlog for a week. Like maybe Alex takes the camera and shows everything he does or something like that...
Congrats on 100k! Proud to have been here since the start basically.
Gratz guys I'm glad your doing so well
Congrats, I love love love this channel. It's nice to live vicariously through you.
Congrats to you guys on the youtube award! I love this type of footage. Hearing about you guys is always good. Capt. stories especially. Maybe ellaberate on the question of 'what job would you like to have' and talk about how someone gets there. Keep up the great work and always love the drone footage!
Congrats, Blair and Team!
Tristan is rad! Hard-working young man with a terrific disposition!
Love it and so true about staff and visitors. I have been in retail business for over 50 years and staff can be so wonderful or such a pain. Thank you for what you do I so wish I was able to afford a charter but- there it is. Keep it up guys.
Nice to know the crew a little bit better ! Well done !
Congrats Loon team - what I have liked is that you keep it real plus having a couple of Aussies has been refreshing - well done and celebrate the milestone 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Such an awesome series.
A full engine/technical tour. I’m a mechanical geek.
they already did one! scroll through the main channel
@@InFamousFifa Thank you so much.
Congratulations on this milestone! I'm sure every subscriber is entirely deserved. Loved hearing these little fun facts about the team.
Congratulations crew.
Huge congratulations to all on loon especially Blair on your award for building your channel. Your content is always entertaining and enjoyable I like the balance you manage to strike between humour and info. Some fantastic sights as well some great destinations on my wish list. As for the food we see…. Keep up the great work
Congrats on the 100k folks, well deserved!

There is nothing like a fire at sea to get the blood pressure up, the fire alarm is a worse sound than even the bilge alarms.
With the look of surprise on Blair's face I wonder how many knew Loon had her very own PI? And yeah, a good rule of thumb is don't charter to rappers/hip-hop artists unless you want the local DEA equivalent paying a visit. I bet he was shocked when he got tossed off in the middle of the night, LOL. Those guys are very used to getting their own way.
Congrats guys! 👏
Love your content! You asked for suggestions for future videos.. A day in the life of someone in each department would be awesome!
Congrats - your doing a great job - your videos are very interesting and you are a great crew - I wish you rising success and great charters🌺👍🌺👍🌺
Captain Paul, you are awesome 😎
Congrats Loon on the UA-cam plaque, a job well done. It is the hard work of every team member and the leadership of Paul that you folks are so successful. Keep up the great work all.
A UA-cam 100K is awesome! Congrats Loon Team!!!
Congratulations on the exponential growth. I've been watching since your "we bought a new superyacht " video & have thoroughly enjoyed the content. If you're running out of ideas, we haven't seen a lot of what the stewardesses get up to on a daily basis, even the 'boring' stuff, like how they make the beds, lay out the cabins for the guests & prepare the tables for dining.
Lekker! Congratulations guys. Testament to the quality of the content Blair is putting out.
5:43 what does a private investigator for Amazon do? Surely this is a video all by itself! 😂😂😂
That’s what we said..
That was a cooll part 3..thanks!!❤ And congrats with reaching 100k!!🎉 Ideas? as mentioned by Paul..you did something on fire and evacuation and medivac drills? special experiences with guests (as far as privacy allows)? Specials sounds in the ship and maybe spooky stories around them? history of the ship before it became Loon? and after general indroduction maybe special-topic video's with crew members? show what their training or educations are like for chartering? visiting other yachts?
Couple of ideas about future topics. What are the anchors you use and explanations about using them etc. And another one on all the drones Blair uses, and for what purposes does he use different ones and how in the heck he does live feeds of the drone! Seriously impressed on that one! Thanks all of the crew for your candid and fun reveals!
love the content!!!!
Fun times! Congrats on the 100,000.
just joined the vlog , site etc ,
amazing how you can spoil people and create such a wonderful team, love the captain who can lead such a amazing
team and sail a ultra luxury vessel, love it and saving uo
Keep filming the beautiful scenery!
you guys are amazing and blairs production is sick . i look forward to these vids every week . i am mad depressive and a mad mofo but these vids give me a dream and help me like you dont understand thanks .
See you this summer!!!
Well done MY Loon - you commitment to the quality of your feeds and the entire crew sum up the wonderful experience you have let the normal blens enjoy - Special mention to Blair for his talents👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Great video!
Some ideas for upcoming videos:
- why did you create this chanel?
- paul's career and how he started yatching
- blair's filming gear
- how the girls set up the rooms for guests
- places you never went on charter but wish to go someday
- a day in the life of the crew
- how the crew can "enjoy" the boat when there are no guests onboard
- how do you plan any charter stops
- what happens when the tip is very low😂
- how do you plan activities whith the guests
- how much it costs for the boat to anchor on the marinas and fuel cost
- charter stories
Just great work! Love the channel!
So glad the vlog is out….loved these sessions as they came across as honest. Who are couples on board ? Pleased about your UA-cam growth and not surprised ..let’s push it on……go Loon….Nord Norge
Fascinating 👍👏👏
Awesome interviews & video . Congrats on reaching 110K . 🎉 Mark (Toronto)
Great content and presentation. Good insight into the crew. 🇦🇺 😊
Glückwunsch zu 100K 👍 ...... Weiter so ! 👌
Great video interesting hearing about the crews different experience and a bit of back story to them.
As for funniest Tristan and Cory, I think watching we see a lot of Tristan enjoying himself with any activity he’s doing never seems to be down. A nice Positive attitude.
You have a lovely team of people with you Captain Paul I suppose I have to include Blair 😂😂😂
Cheers Guys
Awesome video guys. Don't worry about new ideas, just running such a great yacht every day is so interesting. Every day is different. Are you guys going to produce a Loon calendar?
Love these Get to Know You vids! Maybe follow one or two crew members for a day video. Congratulations 🎉💯👏
Idea 1: Similar to Crew Confessions, a segment from each crew member's day on a yacht, if not an entire day, than the work hours. Differences between 1st and last day of a charter.
Idea 2: Recap on entire Med season, but with never before seen footage, if available. Same with Caribbean.
Congrats on the 100k!
Captain, those were great stories, sounds like some excitement. Never a good thing when you have to pull that Co2 or Halon lever. Congratulations on your 100K, we love the videos keep them coming.
Thank you! Definitely something I never wish to do again. We were lucky to have a good outcome that time.
Great video!
Great! Thanks from Germoney.
Well done on the recognition for 100k - Blair just saying mate watch the click bait titles… one of the reason I love this channel is its integrity and the integrity of the crew. Nothing shocking about the interviews. Don’t want to be negative as you guys do ROCK. I’d still tune in if it was just meet the crew or should I say meet the A team ! Paul feel you on the HR stuff as a business owner it too is my least favourite part of the job.
great stuff guys. would love to see a video where the camera follows a person from each department for a day. a day in the life type series.
Great news o teh UA-cam plaque A fantastic achievement, Many congratulations well deservered
front storage tour! Where the chains live, the tenders, ski's and more
Thanks team .Safe seas.
I love these interviews! How about A Day In The Life Of: and follow around a team member for a day? Use the bloopers as Shorts to help your algorithm
Congratulations with well-deserved respect from UA-cam. You truly create interesting and, importantly, high-quality content. For future video ideas, I would suggest dedicating a few episodes to showcasing the typical workday of several crew members. I understand that it's unlikely given your charter, but knowing Blair, he'll surely come up with something. ))
You should do a one story an episode with Paul he seems to have some really good stories to share!! Congratulations on the plaque!! 🎉😊
👍✅👏 great stuff, never a dull moment. Paul more sailing stories are always interesting. Sure you could do something with everyone telling the best of or worst of their stories.
Guys well done on the 100k subs, here is to 500k. An idea for content is the following: showing in detail what each person does and shoe us as much of this as possible, then how do you recruit new staff for vacant positions as to what you are looking for. Explain how to dock Loon with the bow thrusters and the back props. I will try and think of some more and will let you know.
Million subs. Easy. Just make shawny the yacht club bachelor and see how many relationships he makes or breaks at sea
Hey loon, incoming video idea for Paul! What security measures do you take when at sea? Particularly when doing a crossing or in less friendly waters? A vid on that would be super cool!
Blair, what have you done? I recently discovered MY Loon and now I’m hooked. Can’t watch anything else! Really enjoy your filming, slick editing, amazing locations and the way you encourage crew humour.
Great video Blair and congrats on the 100k. Maybe a video on all of the equipment you use to film for the youtube and for the guests?
Love these questions episodes….🤩💖👍
Loonies for sure❤️
When guests are onboard the whole crew, other than the chefs, wears the same uniform. Since there are multiple uniform options, who makes the decision & tells the crew which uniform to wear for the day or occasion? If the decision was left up to Paul, everyone would be wearing board shorts 24/7! Is it one of the officer's, the chief stew or the purser?
At some point I would like to see a more detailed video about refueling the boat & the QC process for the fuel(s). Fire & emergency drills would also be interesting including a trip to yacht crew (re)certification school.
Поздравляю с первой кнопкой!!! Мне очень нравится смотреть, как катаются с горки. И вообще, всё, что связано с водой.
OMG!!! Way to go
Can you show us the things you do and prepare for guests arriving? How do you know what food to get? How do you decide which cove or beach or island to go to each day? What kind of advance planning and logistics does it take to make it happen? And what does the propeller and bottom side of the yacht look like? Thanks, congrats on the subscriber count!!
Congratulations on 100k. Great videos. When are you coming to the west coast of Canada? Great Cruising grounds.
Wow, Paul and Blair, you were 'game', having a 'go' at the chef's lol, obviously don't mind a bit of Delhi belly anytime soon...wish Nina was on board, I reckon she would give you a great response ....Congrats on 100k, well worth it 🎉🎉. My favourite channel, thx guys x love from Sunshine Coast, Queensland ❤🇦🇺
Haha going to have to get another crew member to 'test' my food first. It's all in good fun. Trust me they give it back twice as hard.
Thank you for watching 🇦🇺🤙
Congrats on the 100K. You’ve created a fun channel that I look forward to weekly. ❤
Questions for any crew members that will answer. Have you seen the Bravo series Below Deck and how does it compare or not compare to your actual experiences? No fair calling it an HR nightmare Paul, that’s a given. 😂😂🤣🤣
Congratulations on the plaque - well deserved. Re ideas, it would be nice to do more on some of the passages that you take (most video seems to focus on once at destination). For example, when Paul is on the bridge talking to camera about where Loon is heading, be nicer if the camera swung around to look out of the window, whilst we still hear Paul talking - gives much better idea of the scenery and the other things to be experienced on Loon. Just think that more information on the journey would add to the already great coverage that you do on the destination(s). Could include dealing with weather etc. that you've done a bit of already but would be nice to see more of it. You might be worried about Blair losing more drones whilst underway though, LOL.
video suggestion: "Day in the life of a aboard loon" depending on which crew are happy to be on camera that much that could be a 15-20 something vid series to mix in with other content
Congratulations
Day in the life of crew one by one it might be difficult to avoid clients but you guys are doing great job you will smash it for sure 👍
Can we have a video on how under water cleaning of loon is done? And or specks of loon ( how much fuel does she carry, her weight, where was she built, ect ) or how does the captain and chief engineer communicate with each other with different procedures.
😂😂😂Love that comment on the chefs job🎉
good one team 👍 I'm really liking this channel so far 🙂
for an idea, how about an outside cleaning day/shift shot only with drone 😉
About 6 hour video with Nina would suit me just fine
1:18 congrats on the 100 G.
What about a series on following you guys for a day to see what’s it all about in the different departments?
100K! Yay!
Congratulations, enjoying these crew quick fire.
Paul, might have to watch what meals you get from chefs.
See Loon featured in a couple of other videos over past few weeks,all good reviews,even one re chartering.
Maungaturoto New Zealand.
haha right.. Luckily they know its all fun and games
Would Love To see some of the IT/tech on the boat
I like the day in the life of a crew member idea. I’d also like to understand the different departments, how they each run, and how they interact. What rules must crew follow? How often can they leave to go onshore etc? Thank you!
Would loved to see an in-depth episode on what all goes in to the general upkeep of the boat exterior.
Watch their videos on cross the Atlantic Ocean from Italy to Florida.
Congrats on the 100K subscriber milestone. Well deserved. I am sure there is way more to the famous Hip Hop Artist getting thrown off the boat story than can be told. 😁
Love the line from Paul "Chef's think they are God". I wonder what Nina is going to say...LOL Congrats on 100,000 subs.
