    I started following Nina on the boat that she served on before Loon . My daughter trained at Johnson and Wales in Charleston SC . I have learned a lot about the culinary industry from her and Nina stretched that knowledge considerably.
    I practiced dentistry for fourth five years in the same location. The nomadic side of yachting intrigues me . Given another run at life I would certainly consider the culinary profession on a yacht !
    I owned a fishing boat and loved going to sea . Can’t imagine living there . I know the stress of dealing with demanding patients and think thatI could deal with that .
    Thank you all for taking the time to share your experiences with a lot of “ wanna be’s “!

    Jared an excellent video on Dean and yes Seanne has to be mentioned. The meals served on Loon from what I have seen since watching Loon on You Tube is outstanding. Even when Chef Nina is in rotation with Chef Dean Chef Nina is remarkable. in her own right. Both have their different styles. I would absolutely love the chance to taste the cuisine both these remarkable chef's serve up. Again, we cannot forget Sean as he himself is a huge benefit to the success of both Chef's. The 20 crew members of Loon are extremely lucky to have Sean who is in charge of their meals. Crew eat 1st class and indeed deserve it. Also, a shout out to Capt. Paul for allowing the success in the Galley. Outstanding Loon

    8:45 I was under the impression that guests pay for their food in addition to the charter fee. They also pay for gas and mooring and essentially everything. The only thing the base fee gets you is the time on the boat and the crew's time (and you still owe a tip) So obviously you can spend as much as they'll pay for food. If they want to drink a $100,000 bottle of wine, that's fine because they'll be billed for it.
    You actually cannot do the charter for the charter price because you can't stay anywhere (berthing fees) and you can't go anywhere (fuel costs) without paying more.

    • @woolyimage
      @woolyimage 2 місяці тому +1

      You are correct guests pay an APA ( advance provisioning allowance) this is normally set at a level which is likely to cover all consumables food, drinks, berthing fuel etc. Tip is normally on top but depending what’s left in the APA it is sometimes left as the tip. If your up for spending a million bucks a week for your hols then a broker will explain all this to you while you are booking Loon 😁

    I'm laughing. " Is there a Limit to what you can spend on food aboard ? "
    Seriously? Food is extra, the Charter party has to pay for it. Plus the yacht is holding a massive deposit for security.

    Every dish shown really is a work of art. As a guest, I would have a difficult time eating them, no matter how good they undoubtedly taste. I might just ask for something simple, such as a tuna fish sandwich 😊
    However, I realize that a great deal of time was invested in the careful and skilled creation of the menu on a given charter, so I suppose I could bring myself to eat what the chefs prepare 😀

    I am impressed with your Cook. Chef, is an over used b.s. term. He cooked for 50 people. A 100., that tells me a lot. He is the real deal and can cook.
    I am not impressed, with massive white plates, with tiny artistic portions in the center. Every part touched and managed by your bare hands. Less, costs more. I bet this guy could cook some real food like Marco Pierre White does in his current restaurant, since he ditched his Michelin Stars.
