Exploring Sir Richard Branson's Necker Island | Superyacht Charter Ep2

[@CaptPaulClarke]

Loved the way this video turned out. Steve is doing a great job bringing fresh energy to the content creation. Please remember to keep the comments positive as he learns and grows. We want to bring you the best possible videos. If you haven’t already please head over to Instagram and give us a follow over there as we post lots of stories daily. See you next week 🤙

[@maryholder3795]

I totally agree with you Paul. He's not Blair he's Steve who has a different style. Good luck Steve. Paul what's the betting the first drone landing in the sea, with Steve in charge?😂?

[@Daniel-uj1nu]

So happy to see you Steve! Thank you so much for all you do! Keep up the amazing work!

[@JoeyIndolos]

And you’ve come a long way as well, Captain Paul, in creating your own footage, especially on what’s happening on the bridge or when you join the guests in the water. I remember the early videos when other people would be the ones interviewing you, and honestly speaking, you sometimes didn’t look very comfortable doing it 😄 Now, there are sometimes sequence, e.g., in the bridge scene here where you mention that Steve is on the island with the guests, where I’m a bit surprised that it isn’t an official videographer doing the filming 😊

[@filmcrew3531]

He is killing it! Fun and interesting choices and this is a from a filmmaker! He is making Loon look fantastic! STEVE YOUR AWESOME MY MAN!!! Keep shooting and expect the best!

[@alexandradane3672]

I do not care for such comparisons being made . Steve is doing a marvellous job, making a great fist of his task and deserves all support .

[@oldbeardedcajun5010]

Steve is doing a good job, It must be hard to step in after someone else started the filming and editing. Steve will get there very soon and again, he is doing a great job. Love your videos and content, can't wait till next weeks update.

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you!! We agree and can't wait for the future videos 🤙

[@dream2space234]

Congratulations, Tristan on your yachtmaster certification 🎉

[@ILoveManCity.]

Love your style Steve and don't shy away from making longer videos because we love the yacht, the crew and the views which means there's nothing boring about the whole thing haha.

[@jeffvanhorn3822]

The ending is a perfect example of why Loon and Paul are a fantastic team. Paul asking for everyone to have patience with Steve is great. Everyone is quick to jump behind the keyboard and "take action with words" ... how about chilling out for a bit and let him "come into his own" with the position? Blair wasn't perfect but you could definitely he improved with each video. Steve will do the same. Cheers!

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you @jeff. We have complete confidence in Steve taking the Loon videos to the next level🙏

[@ourclan2007]

Paul. How encouraging it was to see you supporting Steve! Great leadership. Steve is engaging, warm and should be immensely proud of what he is producing….well done mate. 😊

[@cathrinagroiss604]

I love the calmer energy Steve is bringing. It balances the other more hyper crew members. Chill vibes, epic drone shots, and new experiences? Yes please! Welcome aboard steve, just be you

[@TheDannyDowling]

his footage was that of a pro photographer. Those drone shots, the beach scenes, the animals. Great

[@motoryachtloon]

Thanks for the support and encouragement, Danny. We strongly believe Steve will kill it over time. He's doing amazing so far. Thanks for watching 🛥🥂

[@leekillman802]

Nothing wrong with videos as you transition. Open videos, see smiles and excitement.

[@GusCarlson]

No I was honestly thinking Steve has done an incredible job so far! I hope he's enjoying his job because he sure seems good at it!

[@sunsandsurfgirl3179]

Love the BTS! Please show us more of the broken vases, spilled cheese and dirty shirts. It’s the reality which makes us appreciate your perfect accommodations to guests even more! Great work crew!

[@slapshot1343]

CAN WE GET MORE RADAR FOOTAGE!?!? I LOVE IT!

[@bulderdoos]

Radar Love! Google the song

[@fermentedfruit]

yessss!!! Love seeing the technology on board and more of Paul!

[@catherineseapratt2938]

Personally, these new angles and camera movements are so fresh and new, very well done steve

[@LifewithEmrose]

Tyler yelling at the boys because of their dirty clothes is such a Dad move lol. He gently parented them with the "Maybe next time you guys get dirty, you should change your clothes first" haha

[@motoryachtloon]

Tyler's job is not just the chief officer, but he's also boat dad, and moments like these are teaching moments for the boys 😂

[@HamSlicer]

Tyler is the XO. His job is to find and correct shortcomings. Because the when the Captain gives you advice, that usually is the last time you’ll get it. That’s part of the XO’s job. But the Captain he fires you! So Tyler’s advice should be taken to heart, if you like your job. And a job on LOON has to be hard to get. On the other hand, the boys got yelled at for doing boat maintenance, that you get dirty while doing. So a NO win situation for the kids.

[@franckmoreau3264]

Excellent ! Steve is doing a very great job ! Thanks to all the crew !

[@dougziglar8489]

Steve is doing a great job, love the videos…..

[@rdholmes2007]

Thanks Steve. I preferred the editing on this one. Less jumpy cuts! Smooth is good! I am sure I could not do what you do, so just an armchair editor!

[@GiselleBoss21]

Steve is a great presenter, very comfortable infront of the camera... Loving the different presentation of the content... and always enjoy the crew chats 😊

[@t.f_6532]

Thanks Steve for giving the crew more time to explain 🤙

[@Jess-ee1rb]

The editing was much better this time. Less jumpy and way less jerky. Good job Steve 😊

[@motoryachtloon]

Always learning always improving. We listened to all the comments from the last video and made some changes. Thank you for watching 🛥🥂

[@mirembemwesigwa7681]

actually love stevez style.....a lot more personable, fresh breeze, fresh energy

[@motoryachtloon]

We 100% agree 🛥🥂

[@maxi_qu]

I really like the new style steve brings into the videos. like the timelapse of him walking the stairs up and down

[@justwayne4785]

Really liked the content of this episode, lots of short interactions with the crew at work which really makes a difference. I would suggest a gimbal and maybe a little less zooming in and out when close up with someone, a steadier view just makes for a little more comfortable viewing. Cheers Steve, I’ve enjoyed the transition and I’m sure we’re going to enjoy what you guys have planned.

[@amberlewis3684]

He is so relaxed on camera which translates to great videos. Keep up the good work Steve

[@Jaxar20]

I'm impressed by the consistency of style. Props to the Loon team for the support given to Steve. Can't wait for another live docking stream.

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank @jaxar20. We'll hopefully do a live stream in the next few weeks. We haven't had any dockings in a while to stream. 🛥🥂

[@mike.c6788]

so happy to come along on the loon journeys and learn what all the staff do, I really like the tagging of the crew when they appear on the screen, Steve you are doing a great job with Loon and I look forward to seeing your future videos.

[@samstrange5734]

Loved being able to see Steve’s personality come through more in this video!

[@deanflet973]

My favorite of Steve's is the drone shots of the Loon Yacht and the chase boat the sundown just off the side was gorgeous.

[@motoryachtloon]

Thanks, Dean. What a great shot that was. That evening was fantastic, and we're glad we got to share it with you. Thanks for watching 🛥🥂

[@catherineseapratt2938]

Steve is a perfect fit for the team. Love the way he makes the videos his own. Anyone who says something negative about him or what he is doing has no idea what they are talking about in terms of what he does. Well done steve and keep up the amazing videos!!!!

[@jonathanscott550]

Steve this was a fantastic video and you didn't lose a drone. I like seeing Necker Island hopefully one of these days I can visit for real. I really like how you are your own person shooting video and explaining what we will be looking at. Keep them coming cheers

[@jmullen4658]

I love to see how excited Steve is about his work. Great that he has so much support from the Capt. You do you Steve. You'll find "your" style and thanks for all the great shots, and chill energy!!

[@jmullen4658]

One quick constructive feedback ... if the continuity was more of a flow... but it'll get there!!! Thanks again.

[@iainsanders4775]

Whoops! Mind that Bridge!!

[@motoryachtloon]

Knew that was coming 😳

[@iainsanders4775]

Something the Baltimore bridge will Never be able to say..@@motoryachtloon

[@randyjude8346]

I must confess this video caused so much relaxation I truly felt i was part of the rock formation excursions! Excellent job! Thanks for sharing 😮

[@motoryachtloon]

Thanks, Randy. We always appreciate your comments. Stay tuned next week for the final part of this three-part series. 🛥🥂

[@the5kdude]

Great job, Steve! I love how you show each crew member's Instagram handle, allows us to follow our favorite crew members!

[@hazgazchazjaz]

love keeping up with Loon and the crew. One day soon I will join Nina in the Galley.

[@JMicheleS33]

How cool, love seeing Necker Island and all the exotic animals (gorgeous birds, too)! Thank you so much for sharing as I sit in the scorching Texas heat, it’s currently hovering close to 100 degrees already and it’s just May (this summer’s forecast is for the hottest weather on record). 🌞❤️

[@rkanjl.]

I used to live in central Texas. I was an Army brat and graduated from high school in Killeen. As if the heat wasn't bad enough the humidity from the Gulf was even worse!

[@Speedy_Cockroach]

Good job on taking out some of the cuts, still a few too especially in the intro. But this is miles better than the previous video. I'm sure Steve will crush it over time🤙

[@stephenrrose]

Captain Paul, great job supporting your crew! Steve, great job on the video! Great name by the way!!! I love the Loon content and the crew is the best! You all rock!

[@shanemacdonald1147]

Steve has tone and enthusiasm is on point. Last video was awesome but this is even better. And I know it’s going to be getting better

[@annalong1260]

Steve, you're class. I do miss Blair. You're doing a fine job filling the OGs shoes.

[@jennifersherwill5840]

He’s doing so well, still a joy to watch❤️

[@filmcrew3531]

And hunh? Tristan is a YachtMaster? What what what? Thought he was only capable for a dinghy! LOL Congrats Tristan! Nice that this crew keeps moving up and expanding! Congrats again Tristan, this is awesome! 🛳🌊👋👏

[@motoryachtloon]

Thanks for the comment. We encourage all the crew to keep improving and provide support in any way we can. We're all incredibly proud of Tristan getting his first captain's license, and he's already doing such a great job in the bigger tenders. 🛥🥂

[@robfausel4494]

Love all the content. This is a seamless transition in my opinion, GREAT JOB STEVE!!!! What an awesome team and culture aboard Loon.

[@robfausel4494]

PS, Is there a drone loss challenge for Steve vs. Blair. @CaptPaulClarke I voting on Steve to win!

[@motoryachtloon]

Haha, let's hope that Steve doesn't win this one 🛥🥂

[@motoryachtloon]

Hey Rob, Thanks. besides a few weeks of downtime, we've tried to keep everything as smooth as possible. Stay tuned for some epic videos as we wind down our winter season in the Caribbean and start making our way across the pond back to the Mediterranean 🛥🥂

[@barbaramcgowan4215]

Steve is doing a great job, love his videos so far

[@Never_Stand_Still]

Dear Loon Team, I am really enjoying the new „energy“ that a new creative talent (Steve) brings. Like all great teams they thrive on new opportunities and expanding and developing people. See Tris and his yachtmaster certificate too. Well done, keep comparing yourselves to your own yesterday.. no one else.

[@jlgdeveloper]

Massive improvement on watch-ability Steve, thank you! 9/10 on the reduction of jumpiness. 7/10 on the moving camera, so an incremental improvement can be had there. Good work.

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you! We listened to all your comments last week to improve this week's edit. Unfortunately, at the time of editing this video, we didnt have a stabilizer on our bigger cameras, so Steve had to do it all handheld. We have just received our new DJI Ronin gimble and are already putting it to work on all the latest content, so things should be much smoother. Thanks for watching 🛥🥂

[@stnarud]

I already think Steve is tremendous. Coming in after Blair was always going to be tough, but Steve has hit the ground running. He's at a very high standard and will only get higher from here. Looking forward!

[@6r4metroman]

Cool sunset...

[@johniooi3954]

Standard is great. You got it already Steve. Different style, which is very good. Very relaxed in front of camera.

[@BrendanMcNamara]

For your second video, that's a heck of a good job, Steve. It was already a massive improvement on the first one. If you keep up this trajectory, you'll be the GOAT 🐐 in no time!

[@traceymorgan9382]

Awesome video Steve! Loving the interaction with the crew.

[@igabrielf]

Steve is doing a great job! We all have our own style of editing videos and it takes time to people get used to the new so I can't wait to see more

[@motoryachtloon]

Exactly. Steve is doing a great job and will take the channel into the future 🛥🥂

[@bobuncle8704]

Great job Steve. I especially like the inclusion of the crew members Instagram handles. 👍👍

[@PLH483]

Steve is doing an awesome job considering how little time he has been with you. Onwards and upwards Steve👍

[@motoryachtloon]

We couldn't agree more! We're super excited watching Steve grow into the position 🛥🥂

[@Paulkyalomutua]

Great work Steve. Keep doing what you are doing, we all started from somewhere to get to the heights we are at today.

[@deborahgodley6980]

Steve,ur doing great! Thanks.

[@MichaelGent-u1k]

I am liking Steve’s camera work …………… well done to you all

[@daleadams512]

Steve, you’re doing a great job ,I enjoy your Sunset shots and of the boats , Excellent work!!

[@zariusnel1020]

I see a huge improvement already Steve! Keep up the good work. I'm excited to see what you have for us for the rest of the season

[@DMStraylight]

Steve is doing great! He's got big shoes to fill, but he already feels like part of the Loon family and I think it's going to be a wonderful environment to hone his craft. I'm sure it helps that all of his subjects are absolutely gorgeous, boat, crew and scenery alike!

[@motoryachtloon]

Steve has big shoes to fill for sure, but luckily, he has big feet. He's been doing amazing the past few weeks and is going to crush it once he finds his stride. Thanks for watching 🛥🥂

[@abrahamk9]

Steve's doing a great job! An excellent addition to the crew.

[@davidr6338]

Your doing great Steve. Always nice to see what Loon is doing and how well your guests get treated.

[@Julian31NLD]

Steve is doing amazing, if this is only the beginning it will become better than ever before

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you, Julian. We couldn't agree more. We're excited to see what Steve can do in a few months once he's settled in. 🛥🥂

[@mark82421]

Steve is doing brilliantly ! I really like his style, nice, snappy and smooth !

[@sunsandsurfgirl3179]

Great vid Steve! It’s not easy to blend the unique artistry of 2 creators without someone fussing. Don’t worry! You’re doing great so far! Everyone will come to love your unique spin. Welcome aboard! 💙

[@nickyketts]

Another great Loon video. Steve is doing an awesome job filling some big boots left by Blair. Some great videography of awesome destinations and a luxury lifestyle that many of us will never get to experience in real life. Top work!

[@stanwalls6434]

Nice to see the comments calming down a bit, thanks Loonies⚓️

[@Aran2323]

Great work, Steve!

[@Sharon-Me]

Great job, Steve, I too got a bit claustrophobic exploring the rocks!!!

[@Dinki-Di]

Welcome Steve. Please show us more of Nina’s amazing cooking

[@pubfixture]

Coming along there, Steve. Cuts are still a bit short at times, usually the shots with music. Not sure if you're cutting the shot to a certain music timing to avoid copyright claim, but if that's the case, maybe there's a music service you Loon will buck-up and pay for so you can use longer shots without a take-down notice. Cheers.

[@annmason2491]

You're doing great Steve.

[@amberclarke3577]

Steve, you are doing incredible! You are a natural on camera. Loving your work!

[@Successful05]

Wow OUTSTANDING 🤩 Looking forward for more videos Steve ❤

[@veronicarunge2241]

Sad to see Blair leave yet great to have Steve with a fresh outlook - great going. Thanks for sharing from Australia.

[@Jarostrath]

Hi Guys , I have got ice and snow , I'd rather be the BVIs, on Loon of course. Steve, yes, you do have big boots ts to fill, but this is a brilliant start and you are clearly filling them already, well done! I greatly look forward to more vids!!

[@motoryachtloon]

Your encouragement means the world to us! Stay tuned for more exciting content coming your way. 🛥🥂

[@macfanguy]

You can see that everybody needs to warm up to Steve, which makes sense! Nice job.

[@TheBiggs1983]

Great video guys, absolutely loved plus great teaching from Captain Paul Clarke. Looking forward to the final instalment. Steve is doing a great job plus loved the drone flying parallel to the yacht. Awesome stuff. X

[@marktaylor8263]

Nice job, Steve. Great video seeing Branson's private island. Interesting mix of exotics. Looking forward to next video.

[@motoryachtloon]

Thanks, Mark. We love being able to share Necker Island with our guests. Stay tuned next week as we end this 3 part series 🛥🥂

[@gro2709]

Steve is doing a bang-up job at filling/surpassing Blairs' shoes! I look forward to watching him improve and then surpass Blair....adding his own unique style to his videography.

[@jules7239]

Great job Steve with another welcome video, and congratulations on surviving your first choppy night on board! The blues of the seas are a sight to behold 💙

[@dblomqu1]

Necker Island looks as "absolutely stunning" as the last time you filmed there. I admit I am just jealous.

[@debramage739]

Steve is great, as you are too Paul, love from Oz 😊

[@clarehamilton2356]

He’s very good, looks like he’s settling in nicely

[@mothompson8661]

Another great video. Steve is doing great. Looks like he’s fitting in nicely with the crew.

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you, we couldn't agree more 🛥🥂

[@anapacha85]

hi, i am loving the way these two vids with Steve as videographer and media content creator. i honestly feel a less rushed video than blair did, dont get me wrong i reckon blair was great, but i feel the crew have been more open with steve behind the camera. i dont know why i feel this,. soooo great job steve, i think you are doing fantastic, like anyone there is always room for improvement, but honestly i am liking much more your videos than blairs, and ive been watching since the begining... so keep it going and great paul for bringing a fresh outlook on loon.

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you for such a fantastic comment. We've really enjoyed filming the past few weeks and are super excited to bring everyone fresh new content each week. Steve is going to kill it. - Captain Paul

[@tonysmith9061]

I'm loving Steve's style! Love the music, love the drone shots and really enjoy seeing the crew!

[@motoryachtloon]

Thanks Tony, watch this space 🛥🥂

[@markwaller2889]

Steve does a great job! Thanks for keeping this going.

[@markspann]

Love the new videographer you brought aboard Loon. For the record, I thought Blair was doing a superb job as well, so it's onward and upward getting the AV job up to even higher standards. Great Job. We're lovin' it.

[@simoneconsciousobserver3105]

The videos are great. Lots of enthusiasm and beautiful drone footage. What an exciting career. I know it is hard work and it looks like this crew knows how to balance really well

[@motoryachtloon]

Hey Simone, Thank you for the comment. Yes, it's a great career. It can be very hard work at times with long hours, but we also make time to make sure we're having fun 😎

[@dsv1977]

You’re doing great, Steve! Keep up the great work.

[@dafishcooka]

Great video again, Steve! I bet it's really intimidating to dive head first into the Loon in such a way, can't imagine! Loving the content as always! Keep up the great work!

[@MeThAtTaCKSquiRRel]

Great stuff Steve! Loved the storytelling and narration. Everything flowed well

[@americangoldcup6930]

Great job Steve and Loon crew. Good to have you back.

[@eldymather7479]

Paul you have awesome team, Steve is doing a great job ❤

[@SC-zg4ps]

Steve is killing it! Love following you guys.

[@TheCastelM]

Steve is doing great! Keep it up! Also can we please get the bloopers back at the end? 😊

[@Pengu672]

Love it! New style of videos!!

[@mebluewater]

I always look forward to a new loon video. when is chef David coming back his food looks amazing, 👍👍 coming from a real Ebert

[@motoryachtloon]

Chef Dean will be back in about 2 weeks and is ready to cook up a storm 🛥🥂

[@natmorgzee8438]

Great video Steve. Loving the drone footage, esp the sunset shots. Keep up the great work.
