I’m hooked on this and Nina’s channel. I’m going back and watching the older ones I didn’t see. So interesting to see how the other half live. And seeing the life of the crew, what a great way to see the world

Thanks Tim, let us know which one is your favorite. We love Ninas channel also 👩‍🍳🤙

4:30 Capt. Paul gave a (in his way of being stern) hard command. Telling Steve to do his per drone planning. I worked on a boat with Captain Paul’s style of command. That was 35 years ago, when I was 17. Worked on that boat for 5 years. That Captain is still one of my best most respected friends. Keep the great videos coming Steve. There all great. And I watch them all. Keep Safe and Well, Loon Crew.

STEVE! This video was EPIC! Those drone shots skimming the water with the music....Chef's kiss! Capt Paul's dive footage was amazing as always. Great save with landing the drone onboard. Pat yourself on the back for this one!

[@motoryachtloon]

Steve got very lucky with this one. Let's see how long it will take until the next one. 🛥🥂

Definitely your best work to date Steve. Great choice of music and awesome footage of the wales. I would like to know more about Loons deal with Necker Island / Sir Richard. Also further down the line it would be good to see a day in the life POV of the yacht videographer / content creator.

Great video Steve, loved the sunset shots as well as the low to the water drone shots.

Good thing the crew don't wear white shorts :D Nice to see you so respectful of the whales and giving them distance. Really grinds my gears when people get too close.

Found you through Lauren Landers tbh.. had to go back and catch up on what you are all about and was on the fence.. but then Capt Paul showed up and it all came together for me.. A truly personable crew set by his example.. Absolutely SMASHED the subscribe button.. Much love and Thanks so much for sharing

[@The_Travelling_Jonoberries]

Steve, you will find that MY Loon being the number 1 charter YT channel that Captain Paul is hard task master with all crew, suggest you wear a few extra pairs of “Y Fronts” and be one step ahead of the Skipper. Great episode, great videography and a great crew. Take care all, be safe and God Bless 👍👍🙏🚢

The drone drama -- coming back for that!!

hopefully not too much more 🛥🥂

Very cool video! Thank you for the wonderful insight view! Can you show us sometime how you „normally“ land the drone on the ship?

To much screen time Steve, You need to have the crew on screen more then yourself. Like crew updates, what there up to and doing, Crew stories and just mucking around, You know fun stuff 😊

[@MishaElla94]

Awesome vid Steve and crew! Oddly enough, when it's Loon vs Drone, the poor drone doesn't fair too well. Should keep a separate count of how many times Cpt Paul has to rescue the drone haha

The camera quality is pretty good.... Like one of the few good ones on KZbin. Within the Top 5 I think. Top 1 is MKBHD. Drone is like 25% of the other cameras quality... Nighttime seemed to be another camera...

[@jessice293]

I feel like having drones in the air so often really increases the probability of losing them, having them fall out of the sky etc.

[@motoryachtloon]

Yea pretty much and luckily they’re insured. We just love to rub it in when they do crash. It’s just good banter 😁

[@kearam8829]

Looking forward to the vlog! Steve is really amping his game up!! Quick question! Do you/other super yachts hire nurses on board?

bigger ones usually do but its more gigayacht size

[@P1Fanatic]

If anyone is not watching these vids in 4K you are missing out big time 🤩

[@JK-Photo]

Good work Steve not dropping it in the water, but like the Capt said, research your flight zones. You are close to the airport, so you’ll always have that authorization zone. And DJI’s map does not always match the US FAA flight restrictions. For instance that whole area around Charlotte Amalie requires LAAANC authorization (maybe you did). I know we all want to get the shot, but if folks don’t start playing by the rules it’s only going to make the regulations that much worse, and we’ll probably end up loosing access to these amazing places to fly.

[@travelwithus750]

I was looking for y’all in st Thomas this past Wednesday. Didn’t see y’all. Hope to run into y’all one day in the bvi

Steve rocked those whale views! Even if he wrecked a drone, we'd call it even...

[@thomasbeirne8213]

Great vid, as usual. I'm curious, question to Loon crew and, I guess yachties in general. If you had the opportunity to crew an expedition yacht, long passages, no tips, but getting to go places few see, would ya?

[@thomasbeirne8213]

I guess that's a not a no, but f no 😆.

Can we get the dockhands to move Loon closer to the Florida Marina Cam?? Amadeus and Calypso are in the way... I am another one hooked on this and Nina's channel.

[@herbwatkinsjr1114]

When guests go to dinner in a restaurant off the boat how are the cost covered? Is the visit part of the trip package or is it an additional cost that is payed as finish there trip before debarking?

[@MoistlyMoist]

much to research steve you have 🙃

Can someone explain or do a video on what is that boat you are towing around? What is its purpose and why tow it? Are there any people on it during towing. If not, what if it breaks loose from tow? Thanks

Great work Steve, thank you, I’m looking forward to seeing your content when you cross back over to Europe. Any idea when that will be?
