I love that you are not shy about talking the cost of things. $100K for provisions, and upward of $500K a week to charter Loon.

I love the fact that Dean smiled when he talked about being able to give the crew foods. The fact he thinks about them and values feeding them as equals to the guests is amazing👍

I think it is aswell!

Exactly having snacks and 'hunger pang' foods on standby is a great idea. When guests are hanging out drinking at 3am they don't want a fancy fresh made spring roll. They want spring rolls and dip in 15mins or less. Great initiative having it all as backup 👌🏾👌🏾💛💛

I used to work part-time during university years as a kitchen helper in a restaurant in Denmark. Those food deliveries brought back memories of that time. Sorting everything out, to the freezer, the fridge and the shelves to store them. Every week...even during winter time, being outside in the courtyard moving the pallets around and into the backroom. But kudos also to the drivers who delivered, in big lorries, moving into the alleyway and bringing us the deliveries.

Provision day. I remember those days as a deckhand. Nothing sucked worse than getting on a newly built boat that has NOTHING on it and you have to start from scratch ordering all the condiments, salt pepper, peanut butter, jelly, hot sauce. My favorite though is when one guest fills out the Provision sheet for everyone in the party and it's all wrong, so then you get to do Provisioning while underway.

What a mighty job ordering and bringing on all those provisions. Chef Dean is brilliant working out what is needed, let alone preparing and cooking it all. Blair once again is wonderful interviewing and putting together such fabulous output. Well done everyone! I'm really enjoying the programs.

And you all are genuinely nice people!

What an amazing crew! Glad to be part of it!

Watched a few times now. Hope that doesn't screw up your views. Love the drone pic's, especially when Dean is sorting the food on the dock. I know you're all working and maybe not possible to video at 3 am or whenever it happens, but it would be so cool to see you guys getting the order and then what happens. The cooking, how it's delivered (presentation), etc. Thanks for listening!

Great content & love the positivity, and honesty. It’s refreshing

I've been a chef for 21 years now (obviously never on a superyacht) and I wholeheartedly agree with feed them quickly. Getting woken up at 2am for some bulls#%t requests that takes 90 minutes by the time they eat, and then proceed to only have 1 bite is soul destroying.

I’ve been a five star chef for about 45 years. I considered this position, but that was before there were super yachts or billionaires. I found the nicest people I worked for were the most humble about their wealth. Their tastes were very simple at the end of the day.

Well done to you guys in the Galley! Bravo! My parents in the late sixties set up a hotel and my mum was the main cook! So I never really saw my parents back then as they too had long hours! We did have a chef! One day my dad walked in the kitchen and opened the Fridge! In it he saw tubs of sauces and they had mould! My dad took them to the station that day and my mum took over! My mum got us into the Michelin guide back then! R.I.P as my mum passed away in 2019 aged 95! My dad died 23 years ago!

Back when i was the chief engineer on a 200' sailing yacht, we did provisioning missions in strange lands using crazy methods. i was in charge of acquiring local transportation and usually driving it. Our guests and crew ate what was served, the chefs have to cook what we could get and before it spoiled. Fresh seafood of one kind or another was almost always on the menu, our chef was a genius, we were lucky to have her.

The quality compared to places like italy is completely different. The stuff from the Netherlands lasts longer for big charters. Its because they grow a lot in green houses.

For the avoidance of any doubt, if I were in the cash position to spend €1m for a super yacht charter (which I am not), any decision on which yacht, would not be about layout, toys, experiences etc. It would be based on the Chef. Having said that it would be M/Y Arience or M/Y Loon. A conundrum.

It seems so bizarre that all food is sorted and repacked on the ground, at the dock and in the sun. Surely it would make sense to do that indoors, in a more ergonomically friendly way and then taken to the dock to be loaded. I also assumed on a ship that size there would be a service entrance specifically for loading and unloading to minimise the size of the bucket line. Interesting look behind the scenes!
