Our NEW HCB 53’ Chase Boat... In-Depth Walkthrough

In this video, Captain Paul takes you on an in-depth tour of our new HCB 53' Chase Boat. We show you all of the incredible features of the boat. What we like about it is that we can take it for a spin around North Sound in the British Virgin Islands and test the set-point feature at Necker Island. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's video!
Special thanks to Cameron Kirkconell for brokering the deal of this out-of-this-world chase boat!

How cool is this Chase Boat! Thanks for watching everyone, more Caribbean content coming next week!

[@ljvob863]

Yes it definitely is, and yall are soo cool to show us all this. love the video

[@bellaturing7857]

Looking forward to another video from Caribbean 😊😊😊

[@luisbarradas9093]

Congratulations Paul and crew 🙌

[@glennp1690]

Thanks for sharing because it is the ONLY way I will ever experience such a thing. It is also pleasing to see several successful Aussies on one vessel ;)

[@paulkersey2179]

Capt. Paul, you are a true waterman, and your love of the sea and boats really comes through in these videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@CaptPaulClarke]

Thank you! It’s kinda hard not to love the ocean when we get to be in such beautiful destinations doing such cool activities every day.

[@paulkersey2179]

Living the dream@@CaptPaulClarke

[@JMicheleS33]

Beautiful and well equipped chase boat, something you may want to consider, God forbid, if you have a sick crew member and he/she’s contagious (example would be strep throat, to avoid causing the entire crew to become sick), you do have a place they can go and sleep/rest until you can get them offloaded to a medical facility or air bnb/hotel to recover, on land! I’m a cautious veteran pediatric nurse who’s always thinking of likely possibilities in reality and solutions to avoid widespread illness (and maybe a little/a lot of PTSD thanks to Covid-19)!

[@moxiebyproxy]

It's always a pleasure to see an appreciation for a handy rubbish bin. :)

[@motoryachtloon]

It’s amazing how underrated it is. Finally someone that gets it 😁

[@gatmguru1]

That boat is insane. The fact that the main battery switches are controlled by an actuated switch instead of manually turning them was a very cool. I liked the tow system as well, very good system to have when towing a very expensive tender.

[@motoryachtloon]

There are some very well thought out features for sure !

[@FLGurl]

Seriously, this much fun should be illegal! 🤣 Chartering this #superyacht #loon is definitely on my dream list. 🍷

[@motoryachtloon]

Let’s do it! 🛥️🥂

[@FLGurl]

@@motoryachtloon I said 'dream'. Perhaps I should have said "wish" list. 🤣 ❤ you guys.

[@stonewall3041]

The chase boat is most of us guys dream boat. Amazing craft.

[@motoryachtloon]

Isn’t it a beauty 🛥️🥂

[@TheHobie42]

Great boat and thank you for explaining the different requirements for the chase boats in the mediterranean and caribbean. Perfect demonstration of the different features of the boat. Fantastic video

[@internalbeats6870]

Yes, a trash can!! One of my son’s favorite feature on our boat. Lol. Thank you so much for sharing. Love the videos!!

[@CDhunt]

Such a sick setup for the Caribbean, I’ll take it 😅. 🤙✌️

[@philgardiner445]

I love watching Capt Paul nerding out on the features of a new boat!

[@codegame027]

Oxe Marine makes 300hp diesel outboards. Certainly that would be substantially easier logistically. More efficient and more powerful too. Get some sharrow props too. I bet you'll double your range and plane out faster too.

[@justwayne4785]

You guys spoiled me with the Anvera, it’s the most beautiful chase boat I’ve seen lol

[@bubbapeppers4354]

I love all of your videos, but this one... WOW! The detail, the level of forethought put into the production, everything was excellent. More like this please! Well done all!!! Fair winds and following seas...

[@motoryachtloon]

Hey bubba, Thank you. for your continued support. We're getting there. Learning new production techniques every video 🛥🥂

[@user-fv5yo5fi5c]

That is without question the coolest chase boat I've seen to date. The technology is off the charts. I know crew, it's a very tough job, but hey, someone has to do it. LOL Thanks for the share and happy, safe, boating! Cheers

[@petejmartin]

Paul, your enthusiasm for this boat is infectious! Many thanks, Pete

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you! We're all very happy with this new boat and couldnt wait to show her off. - Capt Paul 🛥🥂

[@DanielBengtsson]

REALLY interesting video. For someone who drives passangers in simular size boats the stabilizing part was impressing. Neither of our boats has that which makes some people living on the islands avoid going with us in rough weather if they can choose not to…

[@robertschmidtrcmodelboats6483]

Awesome HCB and great tour of the boat!

[@thombilladeau9393]

Great addition to Loon in the Caribbean!!! Love all the great drone work too! The docking in Antigua was a great video. The delay honestly made it better!

[@AssGaskets]

I don't care about boats, but I watched this whole video.

[@motoryachtloon]

Welcome. Glad you enjoyed it 😎

[@stephenscott963]

As far as center consoles go there is none nicer than this in every way you have it outfitted! Did a recent delivery on one, what a stud of a vessel, perfect choice guys!

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you so much !

[@ruthannmonsees2084]

Hi Loon Crew! I’m loving your content! I really appreciate Capt. Paul saying the spotlight is good for anchor and SAR. Which gave me an idea for a video- could you walk us through one of your emergency drills, or parts of your watch quarter station bill? Yachts are very fun, but the safety behind it all is paramount

[@larryedgar8397]

Great Addition !!

[@jimfilmont3833]

Gorgeous chase boat - congrats!

[@bindatek8801]

Paul - Your videos get better and better. This one is great, I'd love that chase boat!! John

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you we’re working hard on every video getting better at talking, production, filming and editing. We love the new chase boat it’s perfect for our application 🛥️🥂

[@robertjames8909]

Hi Paul great demo for us all I am a Power boat instructor based in Northamptonshire I n the Uk love your channel land so pleased to see you with the kill-cord clearly fastened to you which seems s o unusual these days very professional keep it up🛥🛥🛥

[@Schaeffs71]

I personally really like the Anvera 48. The explanation of the Tow Pro on the HCB was great, and Captain Paul was answering the questions about why you use 2 chase boats was done just as I was asking them in my head. Including why outboards vs inboard motors. The mechanisms to keep the boat steady and in place are awesome but how does the counter roll system work - thrusters or something else? Does using the 4 motors to "hover in place" while fishing burn much fuel?

[@G0KAD]

Very cool boat Capt. Paul and great to see you wearing the kill cord. A true pro.

[@papa.mike01]

Cool tender Capt. Paul. Thanks for the fun video.

[@akLeanne]

Beautiful ❤

[@mikemoxley9477]

Super content, love the drone shots !

[@MarkWork-fd5tt]

Great boat...researched them many times...love your videos

[@samuelpowell4604]

Very clean! Quite impressed! 💪🏻 🛥️

[@fol6154]

What a beauty

[@gregpittard1143]

Thanks!

I absolutely love this channel. All you guys are the best.

[@nickhorton5839]

Great content Paul!

[@justnerdlife]

I genuinely enjoy this content. Thank you for producing it!

[@ashleyjackson8538]

This is pure amazing .

[@forexcollege5971]

Thank you for sharing. Great overview and film work.

[@daviddellit8344]

Your videos make me feel like I am there. Awesome. Thank you.

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Love it! OMG I'd love to film this boat!!

[@lf2131]

Paul is Top 👏👏👏

[@ChrisDolese]

nice one captain Paul ! 👍

[@andrewainsworth497]

Another great video, looking forward to seeing the content regarding Neckar Island and Sir Richard.

[@paulbrownhill9497]

Great videos from the Loon team, keep them coming my days as a diver in the Royal Navy is not a patch on the fun & hard work you guys put.

[@dominikprobst5083]

Congratulations on 100k subscribers! Great work! Blair, you got a dream job…

[@tywebb140]

Love the new chase boat made here in Tellico Tennessee ❤

[@Erica_Brenda]

WOW! Wonderful information and thank you for telling us why two boats. :) (LOVE the stereo! hehehe

[@bellaturing7857]

What a fantastic chase boat and location of course. Thank you for your videos. Always take me to your world for a while. Hello to Klara from Prague Czech republic 😂😂😂😂

[@OutOnTheReef]

Congrats on the new Chase boat ⚓️👍🛥

[@ppark2123]

That’s an amazing chase boat for an amazing yacht!

[@380Scania]

What a beautiful tender. Greg 🇬🇧

[@drathen1556]

Thank you for demonstrating the Seakeeper - I’ve heard about it for years but haven’t seen one activated in real time, what a difference it makes! Great walkthrough video!

[@jonathanscott550]

Capt Paul that's one beautiful chase boat. She'll do Loon proud. Yes and and thanks for explaining the differences between the 2 chase boats. One for the med and one for the Caribbean. Looking forward to next video.

[@garybentz1]

#MotorYachtLoon has sick toys🤘

[@pattydicks8256]

Love this chase boat!! One thing I’ve noticed about Loon is that everything is first class which I’m sure your guests expect! Would love to spend time on this boat!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@leonardo_venturini]

The next step will be to have a travel command similar to that on board yachts with a fixed propeller shaft (not azipod). When you ever pass through Viareggio let me know, Captain Paul you are the best.

[@rwedel738]

Epic

[@jamarie1972]

Congratulations Loon on passing the 100K Subscribers Nice Chase boat. All the Best to you all

[@motoryachtloon]

Thanks Jamie, appreciate all your support from the beginning 🛥️🥂

[@adammutolo5800]

Wow, business is good!!!

[@VnazT]

I’m a big fan of the big outboard powered center consoles!

[@Nightster79]

Very nice

[@user-nd6be5zi9c]

Great video lots of very nice features for guests and crew hope we get to see everyone fishing and cray fishing in a video and then the chefs cooking up a meal on that barbecue

[@motoryachtloon]

Fishing videos are coming, I promise. Catch, Cook, Clean 🛥🥂

[@TLWAnatolian]

Oh my deep sea fishing dreamboat! LOVE❤

[@motoryachtloon]

Isn’t it a beauty 🛥️🥂

[@Pyotr_Velikiy]

Impressive boat, great engine package. I am sure the guests will enjoy it.

[@JBE158]

I looked up the boat out of curiosity and the package of engines they got is the smallest one, lol. Apparently they do quint 450 Mercury as well 😯

[@jon9178]

The current offering is Quint 500 Mercs, or Quad 600 Mercs. The Quad 425 Yamahas do consume a lot less fuel, and for a Tender, the extra speed isn't worth the extra fuel.

[@JBE158]

Very cool@@jon9178

[@TonyGariepy]

Love to see a test of station keeping

[@DXCommanderHQ]

Well done chaps on the 100k subs..

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you we're so incredibly humbled by all the love and support we have received from everyone. 🛥🥂

[@ROYAL2355]

That is one hell of a nice chase boat....I would definitely love to see a fishing episode with the crew on the new boat.

[@maydaymayday5317]

Yeeeeessssa fishing episode, please! Got so excited when I saw the rods up in the rod holders, I had to comment before I was 2 minutes into this episode. Have seen a bunch of your vids but only heard fishing mentioned once really briefly (recent response from crew member in crew video). In my younger life, was a Capt of sportfishing charter vessels in Key West, so I know the kind of great fishing available to you in the Caribbean. Really enjoy all the vids (yes subscribed), they are so well done. Thank you. (Ps please get rid of that spam content in beginning of this video's comment section and the dozens of spam response posts. I blocked it but someone who doesn't know any better will undoubtably click the links in that junk)

[@jimmiematho8082]

Branson livin large.....nice island

[@crfflashforward]

I've been watching for a couple of months now. I absolutely know you have the best career in the world. Wow! Just wow! Thank you for your videos. I'm from the Southwest Florida GulfCoast area.

[@motoryachtloon]

I appreciate your support! We really appreciate you taking the time to watch our videos. It means a lot to us. 🛥🥂

[@VnazT]

I was kind of hoping for an intrepid myself but still an excellent choice! 🤙

[@Deny5364]

Firstly thanks for all the great content look forward to each new video. This has answered the question we had after seeing the tender come into Antigua yacht club Marina it’s so hard to judge the size of chase boats with all the large yachts in here currently, the HCB looks good alongside Loon 👍

[@motoryachtloon]

The marina is crazy right now. Come by and say hi 👋

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

I’m incredibly impressed with all of the incredible features, especially the gyroscope that would he me not get seasick. In the KZbin channel, NautiGuys, they went to a gyroscope manufacturer and they make huge ones for super yachts, but they are incredibly expensive!

[@richardsweeny8206]

Congrats on hitting 100k subs. Won’t be long until 200k - great channel guys 👌👌

[@motoryachtloon]

Hey Richard, Thank you! We're super stoked about reaching 100k subs and we can't wait to see where this journey takes us. You guys rock! 🛥🥂

[@alexanderchessa1319]

101.000 Abonnenten great job Loon crew.

[@LordLauderdale]

Super interesting tour - better than from KZbinrs that aren’t captains.

[@TSM-Systems]

Thank you Paul. We have only just seen this. We have been in Sweden. We’re really pleased you’re enjoying our tracking and monitoring system.

[@motoryachtloon]

Thank you, guys; we Love the tow pro system, which makes it super easy to monitor the tow and gives us peace of mind that it's safe back there.

[@OldManGibb]

Capt Paul, What sailing vessel is that behind you at 1:37 mark? Awesome new chase boat. Thanks for another great video.

[@marshalljoyce7559]

hahaha calling the HCB "rugged" is quite hilarious being an avid center console waterman myself, but golly is it absolutely gorgeous. perfect choice for a tender. Would've LOVED to have seen a 47 freeman, but maybe we will in the future!

[@cmrdude]

Awesome boat! Those HCBs are incredible. Curious if you don’t need to back in to pick up guests in the Caribbean so much, like in the Med? Another thing that is very impressive in your videos is how positive and jovial the crew is even when things aren’t going according to plan. Really enjoy the videos and hope to join you on board one day. Cheers. 👍😀

[@deepaschall7206]

Sweeeet👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@berndhaverkock6070]

Dynamic positioning is nice. You don't need to anker and possibly damage the seabed and plants living there.

[@marktaylor8263]

This is a great aquire. This boat FITS the Caribbean. Bait tanks? Guests will enjoy this boat.

[@motoryachtloon]

Hey Mark, thanks we love the new chase boat. Yes, it has bait tanks in the back under the aft seats. Lots of fishing content to come 🤙

[@ken204sxrb25det]

😮 love the boat (chase boat)big thing, and I live in the BVI 😅

[@berndbaecker5598]

53’ as a chase boat 😵‍💫 feel so broke hahaha

[@thomasw5430]

Great chase boat. Nice choice. You guys do a lot of dive trips, so my question is, how is the boat setup for that? So you lay the tanks and bcd on the floor and tie them in?

[@gordiecaird4518]

When you are towing the chase boat do you have a dedicated tow watch or relying on technology? Sounds like when in transit you have 3 on watch ?oh btw nice too see wearing a kill switch get rid of speed nob on the helm it will wrap up on the kill lanyard , Wheel then throttle 👍

[@trumanbonnot7217]

Love the boat, I work at a marina that sells HCB. We have a 53’ with quad mercury 600’s and it runs low 70s.

[@motoryachtloon]

Very cool. We looked at the 600s, but we've always had such a good experience with Yamahas that we wanted to avoid swapping to Mercs. 🛥🥂

[@johnmuir590]

would love to do my favourite trip from St Helier to Carteret through the Anquettes in that :)

[@MrDLYouTube]

So how does a purchase like this work? Does the owner of Loon say they want one? Or do you guys put in a suggestion to the owner?

[@AmandaMolly]

They were at a boat show in florida, so I think Paul is in talks constantly with the owner to talk about purchases. I heard him say he would call the owner to get a new boat. They probably were on the lookout for new boats and slides for awhile now. Paul & Blair were there and their is a video about it.

[@jyfy7926]

Who makes the decision for buying the tender? The owner or do you have the authority to make the selection and purchase. Does the owner ever come on board?

[@williamferlazzo7721]

Paul. Finally you got around to installing the system.

[@johngrant7696]

You could run that thing as an independent charter boat. 53 CC is insane.

[@terrybrennan2534]

You are by Saba Rock it appears! I was just there in June. That whole area is unbelievable!

[@motoryachtloon]

Hey Terry, how awesome are the BVIs one of our favorite cruising destinations 🛥🥂

[@danglin69]

Necker Island.. Owned by Sir Richard Branson

[@kaspar_1982]

small tenders suck. this is a fantastic and necessary addition. 55m plus yachts should also have a Venetian limousine to keep guests out of the elements especially on an evening excursion to shore.

[@philliphols]

I get it, I run with two chase boats as well

[@motoryachtloon]

Makes it much easier

[@CodyDickinson-to7gl]

Definitely need loon fishing content
