    Giving the six longest-serving crew members' families a week's free 'charter' is a superb gesture by the owner! Class!

    • @panpiper
      @panpiper Рік тому +18

      @@jonblack2077 It would only cost 0.5 million (opportunity cost) IF it was during charter season. If however it was booked a week before or after and did not displace a normal charter, it would cost only fuel, food, and wear and tear, plus any extra crew that would not normally be there during off charter. IMO the owner of Loon is a very smart owner. For 'relatively' little cost, he bought for himself an enormous amount of good will from the crew.

    Franco seems like a bundle of energy. And Seanny seems like a bundle of energy. I can't imagine the two of them sharing a cabin - it must have a sign on the door that says: "ENTER AT RISK OF MAYHEM". The most laid back male crew member is Blair....but that's because he's always working!

    Franko did not give his age. Blair getting to know the crew is great and hopefully once change over comes you'll continue with the new crew like Tristan for one and Chef Dean ect. Even if you add 1 or 2 get to know the crew in your regular videos would be nice.Blair you did a great job answering from Seanny. Capt Paul doing the ending those glasses did he mistakenly took Nina's pair accidently? Looking forward to next video

  • @Jamesofur
    @Jamesofur Рік тому +3

    Blair! You never really talk about the fact that you have to do a bunch of content creation for the guests too when you talk about your work. Obviously the social media creation is a huge effort given everything you all do (+ partnerships which is also huge!) but I think you give yourself short shirft because it can "feel" like you don't do anything "for the charter" when you totally do :). Not that marketing isn't important of course! Get those folks in!

    Another great video. You all get on so well, I'm sure that's quite unique. It must be very difficult to be married but work away for so long (I believe 2 months on 2 months off), Paul must have the best life as his girlfriend is there on the boat also. I'm sure there are other couples between you but not sure if it's allowed.
    Great gesture to have the 6 longest to have a week charter, chance of a lifetime.
    Are any of you invested in the boat also or is it just 1 private owner ? I get the impression some of you might be. If not, have any of you thought of the idea of being owner/crew, though probably not such a big boat (maybe 30-50m) ?

    Brilliant marketing, hands down. Now that we know a bit about the crew, how about doing a series from a guest viewpoint coming on board for the first time? Not just the welcome drinks and pomp, but what/who is availalable 24/7? What is provided down to the basics... soap, shampoo 24 hour snacks/food. What if I want to go ashore at 3:00 a.m.? Do you have access to Tele-Docs for mid cruise ailments? What are the strict No-No's for guests? In other words, give us a guest's perspective on a Million Dollar Cruise. Well done all, keep it coming!

    • @motoryachtloon

  • @JorianBilar
    @JorianBilar Рік тому +4

    Paul, this is a great because it adds a human element to Lunes’ online presence. Drone footage is good for filler, perspective, and transition, but not for main content. Viewers want to see crew members that they can care about. Until they know, and love the crew, they won’t care about the crossings, dockings, and activities. Adding Nina to the crew brought both a camera-ready personality, and content. But for Loon’s online presence to impact the media landscape, and sell charter bookings, there is one thing more.
    Loon NEEDS to recruit and hire Holly Robertson. She’s a seasoned, credentialed, ACREW 2023 award winning lead deckie, who brings not only experience and skill, but a videogenic personality that comes right through the lens. Hire this talented woman and your subscription rate will take off, bringing with it inquiries, and bookings. Your media concept is brilliant, but you need the right kind of personalities to make it work.
