Behind the Scenes: Preparing a Superyacht for an Ocean Voyage!

[@megacatsupreme466]

I love seeing the behind the scenes logistics of running these big yachts. I found the Crew Chef channel first and she brought me here.

[@jobkorteweg9454]

Nice video once again Steve! What I liked about the old video's made by Blair was how calming they were to watch. (Just to zone out to and dream about the good life 😊) In my opinion the high number of quick useless cuts in the new footage makes for a buisy, not relaxed, watching experience. It is okay to go at a slower pace for these longer video's. I have been watching Loons video's for about a year now and I am looking foreward to her next adventures. You are doing Great!❤

[@marvindebot3264]

Gotta agree, it's still a bit "choppy". It's a 15 or 20 minute video, not a 45-second commercial, there is no need to keep the hype at full bore.

[@timrodaway2718]

Yeah, I've got to agree, I used to love this channel but I've rarely watched it since Blair left - occasionally try the odd video but just far too many cuts for me sadly to enjoy watching it - only managed about 30secs before I realised things haven't improved and hitting stop. Please take this as constructive feedback Steve as I'd love to get back to regularly watching this channel!

[@mactownsend2890]

What happened to Blair? Is it a rotation between him and Steve?

[@marvindebot3264]

Blair is no longer a crew member. @@mactownsend2890

[@stevegalle1]

Please take this feedback to heart. It is fatiguing to watch.

[@randyjude8346]

Loon ( which quite literally is you ALL) is the most " loved ", well cared after, as well as beautiful vessel that is shared on the interwebs!! Thanks so much for letting us follow along with you ! ❤

[@igabrielf]

Great video! Loved how basically all the crew helped with filming and explaining their roles . Absolute legends!

[@Dtraveldream]

Great to see crew members that we usually only get a glimpse off Really looking forward to the med season and hopefully some live feeds of the amazing European landscape.

[@IhtishamNawaz-o1t]

Great vedio❤

[@Travelling_Jonoberries]

Captain Paul another brilliant cinematography masterpiece, your crew is so professional and gives a great interpretation of the life as a Super Yacht crew also highlights the fact that apart from the Aussie Captains the Below Deck series is full of would be actors!! Thank you for such a great channel and the steps taken to ensure that Super Yacht is in the top top condition for exclusive charters, be safe and his bless all the crew 😇🙏⛵️🛳️

[@dolphi5]

I love the behind the scenes videos.

[@FLGurl]

Fair winds and following seas always! 🤗

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you ☺️

[@mpdonn317130]

Love these “nuts and bolts” videos of what it takes to move the boat around.

[@iqrafatima4739]

Excellent efforts 👍😊

[@PowhiroMus]

Interesting! It is not hard to imagine everything is far simpler, much less complex but you guys are professionals, do it so well! I really liked the consideration of forecast weather conditions. It is so easy to imagine the Caribbean as being benign, calm, smooth, sunny and lovely.

[@MollyR123]

I really enjoyed the behind the scenes look at interior, deck, and engineer procedures. Thank you for another great video. Wishing you a wonderful and successful Med season!

[@mrclean385]

Great easy to watch professional videos, what a life you all lead! 🌎

[@TheBiggs1983]

Epic video by Loon as per usual xx great insight

[@Mainmanrr]

One of the best yet. Very intresting to see whats happening when you prepare for a long voyge😀

[@MollyR123]

I agree! Best most informative video yet!

[@dmmness]

I see you guys are already in Italy.. Looking forward to seeing your crossing vids..

[@huddystone7994]

Would’ve never known about how great the Baths in the BVIs if it weren’t for you all at MY Loon. Went yesterday whilst on a cruise and it was amazing. Congrats on the Atlantic can’t wait for the Med Season content.

[@motoryachtloon]

Very cool! I hope you enjoyed the BVIs as much as we do 😎

[@filmcrew3531]

Love these Behind the Scenes moments. You all kill it every time!!! Nice work Loonatics!

[@Spain-t5x]

Fantastic

[@loribaetz739]

Honestly feel like I know ya’ll after watching these videos. So happy when there’s a new one to watch. Would love to sit and have a drink with the crew 😊

[@robertsloane1268]

Thank you.. Sure is better than getting underway in the navy You folks are smooth and professional

[@mark82421]

Impressive, great to see how you guys are doing everything, really interesting ! keep on going strong ! Regards from Scotland !

Safe passage my friends.

[@benoitmarechal1587]

Great one. The new video guy got it. Continues like that please.

[@trwh9640]

Love the behind the scenes engine room prep

[@bs838]

Have you ever showed the re-fueling procedures for Loon? If not that would be a really interesting video!

[@Erica_Brenda]

Thank you for producing yet another enlightening video; it was truly fascinating.:)

[@tonysmith9061]

Awesome video! Loved seeing and hearing from so many crew!

Thank you as always.

[@ryanmuriithi6114]

Amazing, hopefully i'm going to charter with them one day 🙏 Great team .

[@motoryachtloon]

Ready when you are 😎

[@thomasw5430]

Good episode! Enjoyed the route planning. Congrats on making the trip “ across the pond”. Great timing considering I see Loon on the list of yachts going to Monaco for the Monaco Grand Prix at the end of the month.

[@jadenpiercey1549]

Keep up the good work crew, your video's make my week, its what i always look forward to

[@Aron-79]

Respect 🍸⚓️

[@debbiewilliams2653]

Nice job everyone 😊

[@grondhero]

Enjoyed the video. It's always nice to see what the crew does. Hopefully we get to see you traveling to Florida as well. 😉

[@motoryachtloon]

Coming this sunday this passage up to florida :)

[@jonathanscott550]

Behind the scenes preparation to go to Florida really interesting. A bit of everything that goes on and it was a bit. As we all know there is a lot more that goes on in prep for departure. Video shooting was excellent. Yea and the weather did seem to be getting a little rougher by the time you were leaving end of video. Looking forward to next video

[@mycruiseviews]

That looked like the Great Barrier Reef growing on your hull!

[@trwh9640]

Lol I hope that was the before images, lots of prep to get that off before the transan

[@sethbrown8251]

Sounds like fun and games like usual, but straight line obviously if it works

[@JIE_THE_BLUE]

Another great insightful video 👍

[@Qfeys]

This is a super cool video. So many perspectives!

[@4thdimension760]

Love learning the practicalities of keeping booze safe. Greetings from the red weather by the Chesapeake! Come up here one day!

[@NSAMIKE]

Just AWESOME!!! Loved this video.

[@hassanmansoori8032]

Nice video

[@adambottomley]

Nice to see Tyler and Nina doing little inserts filming themselves on errands

[@MIDTOWNE1]

Whoever is doing the production gets an A+, great behind the scenes content.

[@squirrelwood8008]

More videos like this one please! The struggle is real :)

[@sarahmorgan14]

Wow it only seems like last week you were crossing to the Caribbean!!!

[@motoryachtloon]

I know! The winter season flew by

[@puddlejumper06]

I am positive that small clip of scraping the bottom does not do it justice for how hard and long it took the boys to get the job finished. Great vid!

[@danwollscheid8300]

Great video! ❤

[@neilwharton720]

Hope to see some of the crossing and some white horses😳😎👍

[@patricksmith3781]

Most excellent job…

[@MishaElla94]

Oh I feel for you boys scrubbing 70m of hull by hand! Looking up at a hull that long makes me dizzy.

[@sethbrown8251]

Sa Chef, missed my chance to work aboard any yacht, had a baby a while ago, but still would have loved to experience the lifestyle

[@maryholder3795]

Hope you had a safe journey to Fort Lauderdale, and then onwards safely to the Mediterranean.

[@YtBlueTech]

Good

[@Ёла-ЮГ]

Отлично! Жду видео вашего перехода.

[@HeidisHereAndThere]

#200 👍🏼 Watching... from 🌲 Washington State🌲🌄

[@MachineTeen]

Just wondering since it was sorta brought up. How long do you guys go till you get the barnacles professional removed? Is it done by dry dock?

[@Art_Vandelay_]

Just watched you on Nautistyles. Though I have been subbed to you and Nina for years. Love the content, Keep it up!

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you 🙏 it was great having Rico and Victoria onboard

[@sethbrown8251]

All comes down to savings, fuel and logistics, will be amazing either way I'm sure,,,, Durban chefs are the best,, coming from a chef from south coast,,,, bluff Seaview , 44 year old specializing in pizza and sushi

[@darrenknowles842]

I never thought watching a charter yacht would be my favorite channel. Y'all seem like family and we'll likely never meet..... unless.... I win the lottery.

[@Steve757-fl1hd]

I think you have to buy the Lottery ticket first.

[@onefrazzer]

What weather app do you use

[@davevanbeers6944]

Filming the tow pro with a go pro! 😊

[@TAW72]

Very interesting video! Captain Paul is your best narrator, so please feature him more often. Background music is not needed.

[@elvisstridiron3399]

What is the GL of fuel onboard and what speed did you use from the BVI to Florida

[@sethbrown8251]

Worked maintenence growing up for long liners, then as a chef in SA, unfortunately not much recognition as a chef in SA

[@austinsharp2539]

How do you handle lightening on a yacht?

[@aestheticvibes1517]

cool

[@blackbibletv]

How much does towing the tender effect the speed? Really interesting stuff!

[@ajakarr]

How often does the predicted weather change for the worse unexpectedly causing u to change course during the trip

[@ralgor100]

The worst for sea sickness is the corkscrew motion, I had 15 years at sea and still got seasick for the first few hours up to 2 days

[@rogerkern]

Sounds like great passage but keep hoping video quality improves

[@ChickenMilk12]

When are you going to Europe? by what date will you be there?

[@Hyakman5408]

9:26 Do you have a home (apartment, condo) in Florida?

[@motoryachtloon]

Captain Paul like a lot of Captains has a Condo in Fort Lauderdale. Ft Lauderdale is a yachting Hub in the US and many crew are based there

[@patrickpeterson500]

Hear about this ng's yacht was B75 lol lol 😆 😂 🤣 😅 😄 now B82

[@alant40001]

I thought transatlantic meant Europe. Didn’t know you guys considered the Carribean to Miami a TA. 😊

[@hannekek]

They prepared in Miami for the transatlantic crossing to Europe. So first few days passage to Miami, work on the boat, then few weeks transatlantic crossing to Europe 👍 Keep watching, the transatlantic crossing videos will come I'm sure 😃

[@alant40001]

[@alexfehlberg1065]

"So, here we go". "So, lets go".

How much are the fees to get your crew into and out of the different countries in the Caribbean?

[@Sharon-Me]

Has the Loon ever travelled to the Great Lakes?

As a Poor person this my go to content to dream hehe.

So at 10:59 the mate decides to fix himself on video who decided to not edit that out

[@PeterOhlmus]

Somethings wrong with the audio around 4:30 mark...

[@peteypops]

Shame about that incessant background music droning away….

[@terrazzo]

If there was a chiropodist on board would that be a Toe Pro system? 😑

[@bkahn]

@motoryachtloon why does the owner not send the yacht on a yacht transporting ship? What are the pros and the cons?

[@bkahn]

*for the Atlantic crossing that is

[@motoryachtloon]

Loon is designed to do ocean passages having over 6,000nm range so there is no need to ship her.

[@amberalihamdani3278]

👍👍👍👍

[@d-sx560]

I love their channel. The green screen is so good you actually believe they’re on a real yacht.
