We Spent a Week at Anchor in Beaulieu-sur-Mer
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лип 2024
- In this week's video, we dive behind the scenes with the Loon crew as they spend a week at anchor just after the Monaco GP while preparing for the remainder of their busy summer charter season.
Come along as the crew experience a brand-new Golf simulator called Off The Deck for the first time.
Chief Stewardess Courtney will take you shopping to stock Loon for the next few weeks.
Captain Paul faces extreme conditions and needs to act fast after some unpredicted weather hits fast. This forces Captain Paul to wake up the entire deck crew and get the tenders off the side of Loon in a hurry, which results in the loss of an anchor.
For anyone wondering, all the golf balls used in this video are environmentally friendly biodegradable balls that dissolve into fish food once submerged. We love the ocean that we sail on and would never put plastic balls into the water.
We are excited to announce the launch of our Loon Crew Patreon account. Members will get exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the crew and even have the opportunity to join the crew onboard for a member lunch.

A very humble Captain who is totally human admitting a slight mistake. 🤗 Enjoyed the entirety of the video. Many thanks! 🍷
That he has a plan to correct the mistake is why he's the captain! 👍
People worry too much about admitting mistakes. This world would be a much better place if people simply communicated more openly without silly fears about what someone else thinks of them.
One thing I always teach people is that it is perfectly fine to make most mistakes, as long as you learn from them and fix them. One the reasons I can personally work so fast is because I am not afraid of making a mistake, it takes me less time to fix up an occasional error than if I would to triple check everything.
Nah, it was just good training for the crew.
Would love to know what adjectives were used as the end of the chain went into the water! :)
Capt Paul - how wonderful of you to create an anchor recovery training vid. Outstanding once again!!!
Haha yep that was definitely my intention 😎
Damn a two hour meeting - they deserve a treat 😂
Respect ⚓️
It's not easy to be fully alert when awoken out of a sound sleep and in a panic. Takes a strong leader to admit when they made a mistake. But nice to see that the anchor was recovered. May you have calm water and following seas.
We had a great week at anchor in Beaulieu-sur-Mer.
Chris and Dylan did a great job recovering the anchor after my little mistake 🤦♂️
Now we got to get down to Naples to pick up our next charter. 🛥️😎
If it's a beer fine for a drone ... What's it for an anchor ? Love the videos Captain
Thanks @CaptainPaulClarke for showing us you're human because, I've never known one that hasn't. Thanks for not being that guy who would have edited lt out. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the trip to Naples.
Yet again, another amazing Loon video. Well Done CPC for admitting a mistake, it’s a sign of strength. Great Drone shots. Awesome video once again.. x
Ooopsies on the bitter end.... Ah the joy of a new season!... Certainly appreciate the humblest of humble captains 😊.. thanks again for sharing this fellas and fellettes always love the incredible Loon!
Haha yep whoops. Thank you for all the support Randy
I just learned recently from a different boating video about "the bitter end" I'm glad they recovered their anchor.
Feels sooo good to see her sparkling again ✨ laundry has never looked like so much fun 😆
Your girls have done an amazing job of the laundry xx
Is the Captain losing an anchor equivalent to the social media person sinking a drone? 😁 Good job in recovering the anchor and keeping all the boats safe.
that anchor is totally custom so they probably cost around the same as a high end DGI!
What happens to the Golf balls? Are they retrievable, or bio-degradeable after they are swallowed by sea-animals🤔🙄

Hello From Sunny Lake Tahoe California M/Y Loon. And to captain Paul, you did great, especially owning up to your mistakes and not blaming someone else. That's why your crew loves you.💞🚢🫰😎
Where we got married 30 years ago. 💯❤️❤️ I bet it's still just as beautiful as it was in'94. 💯💯❤️
Courtney made it sound like she was popping in for a few odds and ends 🤣🤣🤣
Just 4 trollies. Basically nothing really. 🤣🤣
It's great that you show the work in the yacht in this video. I would find it very interesting to see the yacht from the inside more often and the work that the ladies do in the cabins and salons. From polishing to making the beds to cleaning the windows. So far we've seen a lot of the work outside and in the kitchen. But all three areas are very interesting.
Another Loon video to watch while drinking the morning cup of coffee!! Perfection!
Always a great video. Loon is spectacular. Crew deserve all the love for their hard work! Glad you were able to rescue the anchor and chain.
Yet again, another brilliant video. Every week now I am learning something new so when I have a superyacht in my dreams, I know exactly what to expect 🤣😂🤣😂. As always, take care everyone.
Really appreciate that you share the good with the bad. Everyone messes up once in a while! Nice teamwork! Sending you all love from Kyoto!
Great work guys, glad you brought it up!
Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Such a gorgeous yacht.
Great group you have, Captain.
What a week, that was so much fun
great video i like behind the scene, maintenance, little problems. no need for crazy action all the time! keep it up
Love watching you guys 🇦🇺😎🇦🇺
Another great video! Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴
Interesting video. Everybody looked great at dinner. If I had it to do all over again I would go into yachting. Looks like a great life.
Loved the video as always!
Met some friends from South Africa yesterday here in Southern California and I IMMIDIATELY recognized their accent. They were surprised when I pinpointed where they were from!! lol. They sounded like my friends from Loon!!
Sounds like Cap'n owes the boys a round of beers for saving his butt.
Yah, for sure, and maybe a second round as well. And hat's off to the media jock's efforts, having video documentation of the entire escapade. Priceless footage !!
Great video guys 👍🏻
Another great video!!!
Fun to see the interior more in this episode. I have missed that. Probably easier to be with the boys on charter (for guest privacy), but appreciate to see the interior this time!
Great video. Love the behind the scenes details. It is a good mix of inside and outside operations. Usually the videos are over-weighted towards the outside operations.
Good work all!
Such a beautiful boat
good save on the anchor see u guys on next video have from from New Brunswick Canada 😀😀👍👍💯
Great video!
best superyacht channel
Hi guys I’ve once criticised you about mooring to trees , I’ve not YET lost an anchor but come very very close , great video , everything at sea is about how you respond to problems .s..t just happens. Your team are great .
Nice you also share stuff like this. Makes you guys and girls very sympathic:)
Nice work
How happy i was, when i realized that you bought your provisions in Antibes. I really like the Carrefour there.
Another fascinating vlog , what it takes to manage a team , great behind the scenes, if i could afford a week on loon , i would spend all week with the crew !
26 ft?..... 😬 good job!?! Damn, the crew cleans up really well for dinner.... who knew? 😁 Nice snag of the anchor-chain! ✌
Stevie, a good one 👏
glad (or not glad ) to see it didn't come to a bitter end .;-)
Haha I see what you did there 😉
Shout out to Courtenay for her super insights BTS. So interesting to see the efforts of stewards/detailers and efforts creating the onborad hospitality vibe. She is a natural communicator in front of the camera. Well done to her and the superb Loon Team. Thanks to Captain Paul for allowing us on board : - )
Loved seeing the anchor retrieval. Somehow when it was first revealed an anchor had been lost, it did not occur to me that you would retrieve it. Divers doing real work.
Echoing other, great leadership taking the rap for the bitter end. In my hurry to get in the water off the Coronado Island off Mexico I was by myself and didn't correctly tie off my anchor line, when I surface Id saw the boat floating towards the windward side of the island and had it not been for my swim fins, it would have ended differently for me and the boat, but I relearned the correct line turns on the cleat.
Awesome-
Thanks for sharing👍🌺👍🌺👍🌺
There is a strong moral to this tale, if you mess up, admit it, as very few situations cannot be fixed.
Such a goodie
What I think Paul does really great is switching mode from serious mode to fun mode and vice versa
When the captain drops the anchor by himself... ;-)
Phew thought Loon had lost one of her anchors. Nice recovery of it and good skills marking the gos location and for leading by example and taking responsibility. We arrive in Italy this Sunday and thanks for messaging back that Loon wont be down in Italy while we are there. Greg 🇬🇧
That would be a bigger problem!! Sorry for the click baity title.. got you going though 🙂
@@motoryachtloon don’t worry I will still be watching 😂
The recurring refrain in almost every episode of the Downton Abbey TV show was that the time of many many servants in big houses would soon come to an end. Now it seems that those rolls have survived as staff and crews of superyachts. Obviously the crews are very well paid, and I suspect have as much fun as the charter guests.
When you spend $600k/wk on a charter, I know I’d expect the crew to guest ratio to be pretty high.
So we need a lost anchor chart next to the lost drones now?😅 Captain is a good sport for sharing👍
He in an exclusive club now, he won’t have much competition though
Congrats on finding the anchor. Would love some insight to the Standing Orders...
My chum (now sadly deceased ) was captain of a new and then the largest super tanker in the world owned by Exxon when on first anchor drop after build the anchor and chain went over the side and was lost. It was recovered and refitted of course but he simply remarked that you aint a skipper if you aint lost an anchor.
Haha thank you. Now I don’t feel so bad. 😎
Second.... Good Morning from Cali!!
Absolutely the Captain is responsible no matter how or why the chain wasn't secured. A captain should never shift blame away even to a crew member that made a mistake, though a private dressing down later would be in order. In the haste of securing the watercraft any number of things could have gone wrong as it happened in pressing, stressful, and less than ideal conditions, and it's not a perfect world, now is it? Frankly, it was worth the look on Paul's face was priceless when he fessed up to how it happened, and worth the mishap since property was recovered and all crew safe.
Is that Captain Paul watching himself on the massive projector screen? @8:03 🤣
oops, those waves were kinda scary to see how much the tenders were rocking by the boat. Luckily they dit find that ankerchain :D
Fair winds and following seas until next time.
Great Job Men! Loosing a anchor oh my. But a Great recovery by the Crew! "Cheers To All" Safe Travels.
Lucky you only have a short chain for shallow waters, made the retrieval a lot easier!
And you are not the first, or the last to have droped the anchor and chain that way!! 😉
👍👍
Awesome video thank you for the upload. How deep is the pool on board Loon?
I love watching Motor Yayght Loon videos, great boat, great crew - but, very disappointed to see you hitting golf balls (tradh) into the ocean 😢
Cool. The underwater scenes of recovering the anchor look beautiful. I love scuba diving. Question: Are you allowed to all go ashore for dinner, and leave the yacht anchored with no one on watch??
Thanks! The boys crew always get excited to jump in the water for a dive.
No, there were 3 crew on watch. We never leave the boat unmanned.
Smooth job recovering the anchor! If that happened with Loon’s anchor, could you get it back?
Cap's new nickname - Lost Anchor!
Im shocked no stainless chain on the tender…lol
Nice to see it's not just we mortals who make mistakes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Imagine being a cleaner for most of your life and proud of it then doing some day work on a superyacht and realising you didn't know the true meaning of "clean". I know it wouldn't be appropriate to show but I'd be very interested to see that meeting in its entirety. Hell, I would have watched 2 hours of battening down the ship for the wind.
One thing Paul, no Diver Below flag on the maker buoy? My dive instructor would have had 20 kinds of fit over that.
I was wondering when you take the crew out for dinner, someone Will have to be left on Loon for watch? How do you decide who stays? Great video with a detailed behind the scenes what goed into keeping the vessel up to super yacht standard
Yes there is at a minimum always 3 people onboard. One from each department and it shared on a rotating roster.
Haven’t seen Max for some time, is she still on the crew? Hope I haven’t asked a difficult question. Great update BTW, loved it, and we have all lost an anchor at some stage! 😬
Question: when you went for dinner, did you take everyone or did someone (or multiple people) have to stay back on the yacht? I figured there would be some people still there but still wondered. I loved the video and I’m stoked the med charter season is back
what recovery system do you guys use on your drowns? Loving the content! keep it up. Cheers
We have an inflatable life jacket that inflates when it gets wet called a drone retriever
@@motoryachtloon thanks heaps guys! Keep up the good content. Cheers
Another great video…. When you put the drone over another super yacht do you call them first to get permission just in case they have guests?
💯💯💯💯💯❤❤❤❤❤
Good video Paul, and glad to hear the golf balls are biodegradable. You should make a musical parody, and call it Looney tunes🤣
Team Sonja here - she's a true 1000 Islands River Rat !!
I figured out the Hiring requirement: "great smiles"!
What happened with the golf balls in the water?😅
Hitting a golf ball is a lot harder than it looks I found out before deciding it wasn't for me.
What are the golf balls made of? Are the biodegradable?
@ronstacy6054 For anyone wondering, all the golf balls used in this video are environmentally friendly biodegradable balls that dissolve into fish food once submerged. We love the ocean that we sail on and would never put plastic balls into the water.
Do tell Captain Paul, that meeting intro was a pickup shot done later to edit in right?
curious what you did to secure the boat after the anchor didn't pan out.
Do you use the dissolvable golf balls that have fish food cores?
@cdmosshouston For anyone wondering, all the golf balls used in this video are environmentally friendly biodegradable balls that dissolve into fish food once submerged. We love the ocean that we sail on and would never put plastic balls into the water.
Just curious are they using biodegrable golf balls? Cheers Loonatics!!! Oops Cap! Things happen. Great recover!
Please tell me those golf balls do not just end up at the bottom of the sea!
@matthieudefize1230 For anyone wondering, all the golf balls used in this video are environmentally friendly biodegradable balls that dissolve into fish food once submerged. We love the ocean that we sail on and would never put plastic balls into the water.
Haha if I lose an anchor in 8 feet of water in Galveston bay, I would just go buy another one. Yall are like nah man put your gear on and find that right now 😂
In CAPT Paul's defense, I would not think you would have to check if the anchor chain is attached when leaving a ship/boatyard (or the builder)!! Also a word to Temp Stew Dani, this was a job interview of sorts. I'm sure Chief Stew Courtney would agree! Cheers!
What is the average of a Crew member link of time working on a super yacht industry? And did your chef if a new Crew Chef? I really like this video.
How does that golf thing work? Do you hit normal golf balls or some floaty ones (would those not effect the first feet or movement and who gets the bonus task of collecting them)?
Anyhow, interesting video, gg getting the chain back!
They're biodegradable and dissolve pretty quickly once they hit the water.
@@FatGuyInaTruck Cool, thanks for sharing that :)
So the system has to be configured for which balls are being used or is the difference negligible?
Fortunate that there was no bitter end for having no bitter end. Was it is problem with the shipyard over the winter?
It’s now tied on.
10:03 I've seen enough of these to know Captain Paul is talking for us and not to the crew. I'm sure it's so we don't hear secret information. 😉
No time for charters, just post more videos please. 😁😁
I hope you billed the Monaco client for the excessive cleaning costs
