8 Day SUPERYACHT Charter in the BVIs! Part 2

[@CaptPaulClarke]

Wow! What a week! Took us a while to get this one out to you all, as there was so much to edit. All the crew did an epic job coming together to give some of our favorite repeat clients a once-in-a-lifetime charter in the Virgin Islands. Thanks for watching. See you again on Sunday. 🛥🥂

[@filmcrew3531]

I've been to The Baths, been exactly where you are!!! Cheers Captain!

[@jamessmith4914]

I Hope the guests where up to your standards !!!

[@hattiebrazeley3351]

Amazing vlog! Q: how do charters work from a guest point of view? Do they hire the boat all inclusive of meals and drinks? If they choose to eat out, do the ship pay as they’re not eating aboard? New to your channel and clearly have no idea how chartering a yacht works!

[@EatMoreMeat.]

I have a question. When you are on charter. Guests pay for fuel usage for travel(Obviously). Who pays for fuel usage in a short/extended mayday search? or search and rescue operation? is that considered a cost of doing business on the seas for the ship? cost of charter? 50/50? (Edit) obv. A 15 min trip would end up being charged to the charter group. But what if you end up spending 2-5 hours of fuel burn motoring along or searching?

[@michaeljones8016]

@@hattiebrazeley3351 I believe there is a basic fee for charter then on top of that Expenses are added on.Say somebody wanted caviar everyday then expenses would be more than guests who wanted seafood/steaks.

[@rssea814]

Blair and Paul slayed it here, such a great video. No surprise the guests had fun when the crew felt this comfortable.

[@motoryachtloon]

OMG, we had such a blast filming this video! Blair and Paul were on fire and it's awesome that you noticed. Thanks for watching! 🛥️🥂

[@intimidator.jb3470]

After watching B-Low Deck for several years, it's nice to see professionals do their job . No dumb high school cliques or "he said she said" BS. Very good content, without the Drama. 👍

[@nemo227]

One of the VERY BEST superyacht videos. I've been interested in superyachts for 30 or 40 years and this is hugely more interesting than most such videos.

[@motoryachtloon]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mosesgoodman63]

It really is one of the best charter videos love you guys so much @@motoryachtloon

[@ChrisMuncy]

Hey Paul! Great job playing front and center on the camera this episode. Love the caves and find them like that. You're going to need to let Blair give you the camera more often. It's a great change of perspective, especially when you're doing things that are not directly ship related. Love it! Like you guys are having a great time with the guests. Can't wait for the next episode!

[@Jonathannie99]

yes i totally agree with this one!, great job guys!

[@JBE158]

38 minute Loon video, Merry Christmas to us! Very cool video. Loved the search and rescue, Thanksgiving, fresh fish, and Necker Island. This one has it all. Also really awesome you guys get a few well deserved days off!

[@damnedyankee5]

Captain Paul getting T-bagged by a Lemur…epically baller! 😆

[@tommycheng1042]

so much better than main stream TV love captain Paul & Chef Nina absolute professionals. 👌😍

[@Paddman]

loon cutting through the waves, what a view!

[@adrianr5442]

Great episode! Paul’s interaction with the camera was his most natural yet. Also can imagine how important crew attitude is for the guest experience.

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you.. if the crew are having fun the guests can feel that energy and it increases their enjoyment onboard so we are always playing and having fun 🛥️🥂

[@0708scott]

I like how there's been a few videos now where the point is made that Bjorn was there but did not contribute. Great comradery! I appreciate the crew's tips not being announced.

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you very much!

[@the5kdude]

Blair, you did such an amazing job this time with content, editing, and production. Loon is fortunate to have you, and the guests have the most epic home movies to relive their trip again and again.

[@sailorlac]

Great that you give the crew opportunities to see and experience these places. As we know, that doesn't always happen. The dive weights in the backpack was a dirty prank!

[@josephc.1776]

Just like one of his other videos we all liked, Blair seems to have the knack to report and film real time events in a manner that is calm, informative and gets the vibe of what is happening in a captivating manner. Saw that with the hunt for the missing diver.

[@tonysmith9061]

Loon crushing it as always!

[@blessedmom3599]

So beautiful! Thank You for the Views! God Bless You All and Safe Seas.

[@craftmasters1]

The rescue was very exciting, it was great seeing Loon balls out to assist in the MayDay

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you! When called on we are there to help. Law of the sea as you never know when it’ll be our turn and we’ll need help. 🛥️🥂

[@JMicheleS33]

I couldn’t help but giggle watching Chris maneuver with the additional weights while hiking, you guys are something else! Thanks for sharing your gorgeous journeys with us all, hard to believe this is called a job! And such a wonderful ending to the lost diver, you guys are amazing, excellent seamen with huge, caring hearts! ❤️

[@JMicheleS33]

Captain Paul, PLEASE, PLEASE take a video the next time you all are in St Maarten of the planes taking off and landing at Princess Juliana airport for your viewers to witness, I’ve been present many times on land watching them, it’s truly a terrifying, unbelievable scene (especially when those massive air busses land and depart)! Thank you again, I’m so envious of your gorgeous travels! ❤️

[@jdencook]

Keep saying “Blair best video yet “. Well this was. Paul’s doing an incredible job of narrating. You’re lucky to have a captain who can navigate waterways and KZbin. Well done Blair.

[@Buddy869-z9x]

I got so immersed in this video. The drone footage and maps put me right there with all of you.

[@captjim2579]

I thoroughly enjoyed your BVI charter video. We used to charter bareboat sailboats throughout the Caribbean for vacations in my younger years. The BVI were always a favorite and I enjoyed seeing once again many of the places we visited. Thanks for a wonderful trip down memory lane.

[@justnerdlife]

Y'alls filming style makes it seem like we are part of the team, and it is super cool to watch.

[@lakashii]

Thanks for explaining the light pole! I've been wondering.

[@maximiliandort3489]

That Turkey hat, combined with the matter of fact delivery had me in stitches 14:31

[@jeremyjohnson8122]

Another great video!! It was great to see the interactions with the local fisherman. Also love the snorkeling in the caves with Capt Paul. Can’t wait for the next video.

[@jonathanscott550]

Capt. Paul and Loon Crew this was an exciting awesome video. So glad this charter went extremely well. So, cool you met S.R.B. I have been told by other's, well family members who've met him he is as his family great realistic people even though they're they are in a different class than the majority. Yea the BVI's is a magical place. Thankfully not jet ski's which is a great thing. Those under water caves seemed like they'd be a blast to dive into. Looking forward to next video. Capt. Paul, Blair. Nina, Sean and CREW have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years. Hope you had a great time staying on Necker Island.

[@svshootingstar]

Loon's bridge view looks like it was designed for a 5"6" captain!

[@motoryachtloon]

CO Davie has no problems seeing out the windows 😂

[@1ytcommenter]

So Nina report on bridge for new assignment!

[@tonydownunder5703]

Wow,,,,,, You guys really pulled the rabbit out of the hat on this one. This video could be a Oscars winner 🏆 👍👍

[@lbcmotors9316]

Awesome to visit Sir Richard’s Island vicariously ! Thank you

[@ROYAL2355]

Great assist on the search and rescue job well done.

[@timothyomalley2981]

If you are able to we do enjoy hearing how generous the guests were to you and the crew

[@eddieholder2756]

Good on ya for going to find the diver!! 👌🏻 Also the new bridge is 🔥!!

[@stuartmacg]

You guys are amazing. So glad you rescued that person.

[@mijamwi]

Paul, another excellent vlog. Love the banter that your crew have with each other. A real team effort for the Vlog..Amazing and privileged to share the Loon journeys.

[@stanwalls6434]

That was just a blast Guys can’t believe you get to do that for a living, you are blessed and thanks for sharing ❤️

[@sylviacrossman4562]

Sir Richards island looks amazing

[@SusannaJ]

watched every minute of it. What a fun crew.

[@markusweber5154]

Wow! In my opinion the most interesting video you have made. Thanks for sharing all your adventures.

[@MIDTOWNE1]

EPIC post with this one right here. The crew and Captain 👍🏼👍🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼💥💥

[@wannabedal-adx458]

So nice to see awesome places in the BVI. I visited Tortola with Royal Caribbean in Feb 2020 and didn't find it very nice. I visited St. Thomas, USVI when I was in the Navy in 2002 and liked it. Wish I saw more of both. Also want to see how the Turkey pizzas turned out that Nina made. Also that tip must have been epic if you can't mention it on camera!! No matter you all deserved it!!

[@suitandtie2251]

Wow. I live in the Caribbean but feel insanely jealous of these videos. Keep up the good work.

[@DrivingBoatsandYachts]

You guys had me smiling. Great fun and enjoyable vid. Getting better and better!

[@michaelboso9355]

Tremendous video. Excellent job both telling the story and letting the story tell itself. Action, adventure, drama, fun, and as always, such an impressive crew! Thanks for this! You transcend the subject every time. Cheers!

[@RonaldJHElzenga]

That was a great one..thanks for being a witness🎉❤😊

[@nicke6394]

Banging video folks, far better than that Below Deck rubbish. Keep it coming 👍🙌😎

[@MortenHjrnevik-ti6sg]

Go Loon great action filled vlog…guests must be happy….keep it up guys….from Nord Norge

[@MajorLazer182]

Blair and Paul (and the rest of the crew) knocked it out the park again with this one. Thank you all!

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our video. 🛥️🥂

[@peterpaulissen2690]

Magic what you show us. Not a jealous person at all, but man, do you have a super job. Know it's work, but what a view.. Your crew is great. Nice that you share all this with us. Thank you.

[@motoryachtloon]

Haha, thanks! I wish we could say it's all magic, but there's definitely a lot of behind-the-scenes work going on. Glad you enjoy the view, though; it makes all the effort worth it!

[@pete_roszell]

I think you guys cut off some of that fresh fish and gave it back to the fishermen. That is really cool.

[@motoryachtloon]

Of course they were awesome and super happy to do business 🛥🥂

[@pete_roszell]

It's the gesture/intention that counts. Your crew did really good. @@motoryachtloon

[@danf8024]

Well done. It’s crazy how Paul is captain and fully engaged in the excursions. Hard work for sure! Bummed you didn’t share the tip, I like that part.

[@marvindebot3264]

Pretty sure it was a very generous tip to the point of best kept between the guests and the crew.

[@deepaschall7206]

Absolutely love this.Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻😊👏🏻🏝️

[@TheMightyKinkle]

So cool you got to go on Nekker island.

[@paulkersey2179]

Beautiful, thanks for taking us along.

[@papa.mike01]

once again a fabulous episode from the crew on Loon and Captain Paul. Thanks you all so much. Merry Christmas to you all.

[@AudreyGregg-m9x]

Paul big slip up, "Old Looney" Yaaae imagine not a lot of skippers would do that hike. Great Content 🙂

[@motoryachtloon]

haha shes a good old girl.. 🛥️🥂

[@JaneDarby-r6k]

Excellent video, your clients certainly looked like they had a fantastic week onboard Loon. I am sure it makes life easier if the clients are pleasant, you all go the extra mile to make their cruise memorable. It did seem disingenuous that the previous clients didn't feel inclined to offer a reasonable gratuity for all your collective efforts for their pleasure. Surely if one is able to afford the charter, one can afford the tip! Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas and New Year, look forward to watching more from Loon in 2024.

[@Kiwisail]

BVI's one of my favorite places having worked sailing programs there. We used to stern to by the Sandbox up in Gorda Sound for a few days while teaching scuba diving. On a crew night off would go up to what was Biras Creek YC for drinks. While wondering around saw a sow and her piglets (Caribbean refuse cleaning system). The sow was somewhat protective of the piglets but was tied to a tree so a crew member had the sow chase him around the tree shortening the tether which allowed us to catch a piglet...back in the rib to the Sandbox tie up and proceeded to deposit said piglet through hatch into cabin of another skipper...omg the squealing that came from there was so funny...and it wasn't the pig! An hour later piglet was reunited with mother. Good times.

[@jdoc2093]

Love seeing these, thanks so much 😊

[@BooFlo62]

should rename this one "captain paul having the time of his life"

[@motoryachtloon]

hahaha we seriously thought about that 😂

[@richardcook1987]

Captain Paul living his best life.

[@thatdeckiewitharollie]

Amazing video as always guys!! Love the longer style videos. For a moment Capt. Paul reminded me of Bear Grylls diving in the coves 🤿🤣

[@Dockenneson43]

That’s awesome!! Nice cave!

[@bubbapeppers4354]

This is probably my most favorite part of the Caribbean from a scenic standpoint (culturally my favorite is St. Martin), wish there would have been more footage of The Baths, absolutely stunning! As always, well done and a great job on the Mayday assist!!!

[@motoryachtloon]

Thanks for the great comment as always Bubba. This video was almost 40mins we would have enliven to include more everything but had to trim it down somewhere 🛥️🥂

[@nixer8984]

Probably best yet for Capt Paul, Blair and crew. Thanks.

[@francoalberts1546]

A week to remember! Great charter💪

[@macfanguy]

Absolutely loved this episode! ❤

[@toronaga5014]

Cool video..BTW when you came out one of the caves it looked like your had barely missed hitting a rock..should always explore in pairs just in case

[@Jeff_G1]

Happy Holidays and such a good video!!! I hope to Charter Loon someday.

[@boetiejanfilms]

Paul going into that Air Pocket!! Madness.

[@richardcook1987]

Yeah screw that! If be taking a STAS unit before I go into any of those. Maybe he did on his waist.

[@rachelwoodruff7202]

What fun week for the 2nd part of the charter! I love how you all just vibe together and happy in all the video you put out!! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to Motor Yacht Loon!!

[@daviddellit8344]

The cave was amazing. Thanks.

[@ashleyjackson8538]

Best week ever !!!

[@zjenji]

Need to use a 70's filter with those sweet, sweet stache's! Great job MYL crew!!!

[@bytehauler]

Noticed you didn't give details of the tip like last time, a la Below Deck? There were some comments previously so I'm sure you'll skip that in the future, which is fine. No need to hear the details but good to know when guests have really taken care of the crew. Great trip!!

[@blessedmom3599]

Hey! I’m just wondering how much rest does the Crew get? Y’all are so busy! It’s great! ❤

[@schrauberrolf7672]

Merry Christmas to you all! Very Nice Video! Danke für eure Arbeit! 👌

[@pattywolff5449]

I’ve been to The Baths at Devil’s Bay, thank you for bringing back such a fun and beautiful memory!

[@jonesboy201]

Outstanding once again. Those caves would freak me out with the limited head room. Wish I could afford the tip, never mind the charter cost 🤣

[@Mattius98]

Paul is hilarious, love the vlog style from him

[@jakecastillo1778]

Looks like one of carnival mega ships got to see m/y loon If they know how famous loon is

[@Jaquaivismacintosh]

Love watching the videos , want to spend my 50th over there 😎🇦🇺😎

Thank you for taking us snorkelling Capt Paul, that was awesome! (Should take us scuba diving with you too ;) )

This is one of the best videos so far

[@KirkThomson]

What a fantastic journey you all are on! The videos just keep getting better and better. I found myself holding my breathe while Capt Paul was in the caves. Good on you!

Another great video, another great edit, thanks Balir for putting the effort in! Really enjoy living vicariously through you guys, great job!

[@rickinnes]

What a treat this video was - thank you

[@MM-HTX]

Thank you for the great videos showing professional crews in the Yachting world ! I grew up in Ft. Lauderdale, lived on a boat in Pier 66 for many years, and got to know many in the industry back in the 1990s. Trash shows like " Below Deck " should be taken off the air as they are really a train wreck and disgrace to the industry and very disrespectful for all the hard working people that make their living in the industry.

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you.. We couldn't agree more. We'll be back in FLL in April keep an eye out for us 🛥🥂

[@sonic-ddc]

Guys I've been binge watching all your video's 😂 great content

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you and hi 👋 😎

[@klaraholubova5399]

Such a fun video 🤩

Pretty darn amazing! Nice work!

[@bobskiale]

What a week, If only....

[@rogermain6963]

I really enjoy this programme , I am impressed by the way the captain motivates his crew just is it possible you give us some feedback from your guests appreciate could be difficult but would be interesting to hear what they feel about the charter. Merry Christmas to you all. Look forward to more in the New Year🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@vipergts2909]

Great video! Happy holidays to all.
