Waiting for the Loon merch to drop!

I have zero knowledge about a yacht. I do know the crew of loon are impressive. Great people very good at there job. Thanks for taking us along

Great video guys - nice to see the workings ❤

It’s cool to see The Captain doing his diligence.

It's always good to have and engineer.

Anvera is back!!!! WOOOHOOO!!! ONE DAY I shall journey on that!!! Cheers Loonatics! And my Yachtness, the Anvera looks amazing!

Love the sound of those engines!!

Love this! Great content, guys!

Some tender is that little baby of the Loon!!! Most people would be more than happy to tear around in that, let alone stepping on board the Loon herself! Nice photography too fellas!

Steve, Alex and definitely CPC great video. yeah I love the 48' Anvera. I hope Alex got right to fixing the issue to the front power issue. Steve the video photography was ACE. CPC nice hair cut and narrating on this video. Looking forward to next video and next live which I hear is coming up pretty soon

Oh, and Steve, bloody great videography mate. This was a marked improvement. The shot with Wild Thing passing Loon is perfect. In fact most of it was pretty damn close to perfect. Whatever you did over the break, back to school or hard in a book, it worked.

Another awesome video. I plan on booking a charter on Loon soon. I am just looking for someone to accompany me and pay for the whole thing.😅

Super fun video!

Good choice of drives. Yanmar makes a great sterndrive package.

Hi Captain Paul another great video and very nice day to pick up Anvera nice Yacht remind me my boat a Chapparal 32' I had 2 mercruiser 450hp each it was fantastic thanks again for your video and I can't wait when I see you with your nice black polo Loon to buy not one but 2 and and a baseball cap too it will be a honor and pride to wear these have a excellent day to all of you on the Loon I'm looking forward to your next video.💥💥💥💥💥💥⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️

Really fun video.

So many people would have simply arrived, jumped in, started the engines and, putting their trust in the yard, driven away. What was detailed in this video is how I would expect people to care for equipment if it were mine. I treat other people's (whether they be clients or friends) gear like I own it and can't afford any extra bills this month and that's what I see here. Totally professional and on the ball, nice work guys. As for the two chase boats, no competition. On big boats, Inboard diesels win every time for me unless it's an outright speed machine and if it is, inboard petrol FTW. While outboards have their place, I don't see the sense in hanging several tons and several hundred thousand dollars off the transom. And yeah, those big V8 Yanmars sound awesome and weigh very little. 740HP isn't a lot to move a boat that size that quickly but as you said the power to weight is great and Anvera spared no expense in shaving every last gram off the displacement. As you know, EVERYTHING on board is lightweight not just the hull. Everything from the interior to the helm chairs was selected with weight in mind. For a Med (or Florida, or Queensland) based luxury day boat with a good turn of speed, they can't be beaten.

Respect 🫡

Never been to the Med, Like seeing all the different locations. i will never be on a super yacht so watching these give me the satisfaction of seeing one. Of course I am more interested in the piloting and engine room. just wondering do you have a sea anchor onboard just in case?

Is called Wild Thing. That's its name.

Bow thrusters reversed - Alex..."hold my beer" - no reaction whatsoever!

All good, and profesional as always, but apart of the salaries and tips is there a patreon account for supporting the crew? Incredible

Which men’s ON model shoe do you guys like best for the boat?

Goes to prove good help is hard to find

Cool , 5 months out on the hard , busy boatyard , hate to think of the monthly rate :-) let alone all the ' tidies' :-) just in and out must be a few $$ :-)

Was it called Wild Thing? Looking at the stern you can barely see what looks like where a sticker had been. I love the sound of a nice Diesel engine better as well.

Wondering how the bow thruster working backward worked with the joystick function?

Why is the starboard startup switch on the left? Would think that should be the point ignition.

This chase boat gives a whole new meaning to B.ust O.ut A.nother T.housand. In this case BOAT(T) stands for Bust Out Another Ten Thousand. My gawd the maintenance on this thing alone would cripple me.

Was the chase boat christened "Wild Thing"? Time stamp 1:42 Lettering above the engines.

Does it fit inside the Loon? Or are you going to tow it across the Atlantic every season change? Seems like it would be better to just buy 2 and keep one in both places? The Loons billionaire owner could keep 10 in each ocean and not notice the cash missing

If you had just one chase boat, is it possible to tow it across the Atlantic?

@motoryachtloon

12 күн бұрын

Anything is possible however it’s not recommended for the following reasons: - no insurance for the tow - wear and tear on the chase boat - extra drag to Loon means higher fuel burn and higher wear on main engines. - unable to run full speed away from pressure systems if needed. - chances of breaking the tow line are high. - put crew lives in danger if the tow separates and try to recover it. Because of this it’s easier to either ship it or have 2 boats.

The inability to permanently remove Wild Thing - the former name of the chase boat is inexcusable. A paint swipe isn’t covering it and for a very expensive motor yacht - cheapens your product and gives your competitors an advantage. Love everything about Loon and the very hard working crew - but this undermines your efforts. Cheers!

The boat is named Wild Thing 😂 we built the boat last year so it doesn’t have any previous name.

So the chase boat is 1.5mio. The decision would be 1 week on Loon or buying the chase boat...🤔

Didn’t you start the port engine while shouting “turning over the stud engine”?
