We love making these long form charter videos. What do you guys think of long videos like this ?

[@marcnotheree]

these r better but also keep the insta reels

[@CarolStJohn-ev9ry]

I enjoyed it!

[@user-gm6hc2vb8u]

Really enjoy it… maybe a bit shorter… between 15-20 min

[@Howard.Stern.]

Longer the better. Sometime test yourself with an hour long video like a professional documentary.

[@CaptainPaulClarke]

Nice one @blair_vb 🛥️👏

[@marcnotheree]

the captain is too chill like from what ive seen on boats before the captain is just really tough on the crew (maybe its just me) but captain Paul is so relaxed and he seems to be really nice to the crew and thats just lovely

[@panpiper]

A great captain can be both tough and take great care of his crew. In fact if a Captain isn't tough enough, things can go very wrong to the detriment of all, including the crew.

[@marcnotheree]

fair enough, but he seems to treat them well , like he understands that mistakes happen and he just seems like a grest captain overall

[@paulkazzer]

A lot of the crew are Aussie and South Africans who don’t need to be yelled at to do their job professionally. A real team ethic. A great video.

[@szn7548]

Yea its usually USA crew who are entitled and do a bad job, hence they need to be screamed at.

[@YatlardaSinan]

This is truly amazing, not only you produce exciting content you also inspire people within the industry. There is no other yacht that gives an in depth look, I believe you’ll be the pioneers and start a change.

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you for the awesome comment. We strive to put out the best quality content we can and give our viewers what they want to see!

[@CaptainPaulClarke]

1/2 way through a great charter. We’re having a ton of fun making these for everyone. Please come back next week for part 2 👏

[@greggb557]

What. A. Video. This is the great mix of content we were asking for. Small glimpses of the real guest life. Also include more of the food content too.

[@groet508]

You should geek out more about other yachts. I guess it is a bit of a taboo in the industry to talk about other yachts but more in-depth information would be cool.

[@charliecurry5149]

My dream is to be a super yacht captain! Have you worked up through officer to captain always on private yachts or did you take the commercialisation route ? Thanks

[@charliecurry5149]

Commercial *

[@LazlowRave]

Like how the Deckhand had nothing to complain about! "Could be worse" such a positive crew!

[@thejohnhend]

You guys are more fun to watch than the Below Deck cast. Love the sense of humor mixed with professionalism. I’m married with kids now but would have loved to have been able to work on a charter yacht like this in my younger days.

[@gregfagen1950]

Prediction.....1 million subscribers in 6 months. WAY better than TV content and the crew does a great job showing what life is like on board while 100% protecting the identity of charter guests. No drama, just reality. Well done.

[@NANA-lq5md]

Looks like you were WAY off.

[@jonesboy201]

Really enjoying this. Great crew. Work hard, play hard attitude. Clearly guest focused.

[@motoryachtloon]

We give everything to make sure our guests have an unforgettable experience onboard

[@gro2709]

What a wonderful "BTS" video. I really wish I could afford this type of vacation, but alas, I'll just need to enjoy it vicariously through your channel. I hope the next installment shows us what Chef whips us in the galley. Things I really like about this video: - How the crew gets all the toys into the water - How the crew gets to have fun!! - Explanations of what it takes to enter and leave a port - Plotting the cruise on you electronic devices - The drone footage of M/Y Loon and other notable yachts - Love the long-form format.. Things I missed about this video: - No closed captioning - I wear hearing aids and many times I couldn't understand what was being said due to poor acoustics or other noise. - What do the engineers do during cruises? - How much time do the crew spend with the guests? Again, I look forward to the next vid. EXCELLENT quality video work!

[@ryjessie]

You guys just became my go-to-watch yacht/charter vlog. Keep uploading this amazing kind of content. Blair is doing great in producing high-quality videos and amazing drone shots.

[@motoryachtloon]

Very cool thank you. We’re still figuring out what works and doesn’t on KZbin and we’re trying to improve in each video

[@jameshobin4649]

Very much enjoying the behind the scenes. The night shots are amazing. I hope you all have a great week.

[@captainawesome5560]

Absolutely gorgeous! Everywhere you look! What a great time to be alive!

[@wills2552]

Loved the detail about how you plan the routes and the procedures you have to follow, a lot more involved than I thought.

[@joec4871]

What's odd about this Captain is that he helps. Alot of Captains only work the bridge but, this Captain carrys bags, pick up guest etc. I could work for him any day. And the crew is very interactive with the guest. Shoutout to the Loon crew.💪

[@brendablackburn5788]

Y’all are doing a fantastic job sharing with us viewers. It’s like I get to come along on the cruise too 😊 Well done! Mostly I love how authentic and raw you are keeping your videos! Bravo!

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you !

[@Mark-pm9nh]

hey Blair . LOVE your videos . Especially like how the crew participate & tell us what they do . BEST superyacht experience on line . Amazing Captain & crew . Lucky guests ! Mark (Toronto) 💙

[@motoryachtloon]

Thanks for the support mark !

[@bsmith8943]

Much respect and love to your entire crew. From Captain down they were all professional and friendly.

[@thomasw5430]

I enjoy the long forms. Nice seeing the crew being able to unwind. Especially considering it is a 17 day charter.

[@motoryachtloon]

We try to take little 15-20min breaks when we can. It’s amazing what it does to reset everyone and keep motivation up. 😁

[@chrisgrave9664]

Absolutely love watching your videos - really interesting and great to see all the crew getting along.

[@karenglaicar5486]

Just watched part 2 and realized I still needed to finish part 1. Love the long video's. I can't believe you guys found that drone. Love the water toys you have. My new 'Below Deck' show love it. Thanks and take care.

[@dc21771]

Amazing you found that drone! Nice work!!

[@supercartv9578]

Sooo many beautiful shots! Woww!

[@laurameakin]

Just started following channel like these long videos when you’re on charter Blair has done a great job editing them so they pass really quickly. We see the locations, a mix of crew routines and and more importantly there’s humour as well as the videos being informative.

[@DrivingBoatsandYachts]

Enjoyed the format and seeing more detail. Especially enjoy the narrative on the other boats you come across including the stats and GT to give idea to scale. Well done and keep it up!

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you so much !

[@xyFreddy]

Very cool video again, but can we please quickly appreciate that CaptainClark just casually dove over 20 metres deep to rescue that drone! Not to bad at all:DD

[@morganjade4355]

Such an awesome video, love Paige!!!!

I worked in the industry for 12 years, I had to leave end of 2021 as I had a beautiful baby boy. I love your guys videos! Feels like home for me 😄

Great video. Keep up the "long" format. Many thanks.

[@itsfonk]

Stumbled upon your channel last night and have made way through most of your videos so far. Top notch all around. The occasional stumbles only add an authentic charm to this fledgling endeavor. No doubt you’ll continue to see growth and particular notoriety flow your way as the bow planes. A bit of feedback; I prefer the lengthy in-depth episodes, while condensed and concise vlogs may better cater to others. While I do understand it’s challenges in a working environment, I’d continue to lend attention to overall balance and consistency of audio. When the beats drop, consider the overall ambiance of your background music. Like a good crew, subtle, tactful integration is what pleases the most. The cinematography is indeed satisfyingly attractive, and should keep thirsty eyes returning - just take care not to lose your Mavics to the likes of Beezy’s privacy peregrines 😉 I look forward to the adventures ahead! May you each find your own happiness along the way 🤙

Ran across your channel today. I'm no newcomer to sailing but, this channel is an excellent introduction into cruising. It's fun watching the videos showing all those beautiful countries and saying I've been there and I remember that place. This is also a very informative channel. And with all due respect tell the ladies they're hot. Safe travels. Ps: I subscribed.

[@windycurrent]

This is a very well-oiled crew. It is nice to get an inside glimps of how the operations on a superyacht of this size work. How do you go about finding all of the shore side activities and outside specialists like beauticians and masseuse for guests over such a large and diverse charter area?

[@user-pd7jd6bf2g]

Love your channel and videos! Keep making them! I would love to see the table decor, making the drinks (coffee, cocktails, etc.). The chef has mentioned several times that he stocks every possible item the guests might request. Have you ever had a request that you did not have on board and could not get sent to the boat or get in the closest town? If so, what was the request?

[@giannidileo]

I am really addicted to you videos! it's really interesting to see how superyacht life looks like. How does chartering work? do guests have a fixed program or are they allowed to ask whatever they want? can they ask for any destination? do they have a kind of travel agent? you always stay one night per location? so many questions!!

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you ☺️ Each charter is tailor-made to the requests of the charter client. The only fixed places are the port of embarkation and disembarkation. We use yacht brokers and also book directly. We usually only spend one day in each location as there is so much to see and do, but if we enjoy one spot, we will spend a few days there. 🤙

[@motoryachtloon]

Hi, thank you for watching and the comment. One of our first videos was a quick walk through and we’re currently editing a big in depth walk through. We haven’t done the engine room yet as the engineers have locked the doors and refuse to come out. Eventually they’ll get hungry and then we’ll bribe them with Gummy Bears to let us in and film.
