Let us know what you thought of this episode! In the next video we sail from Gibraltar to the half way mark of the Atlantic !
Was awesome!!!
"oh we had a big storm -- here's NO footage of it". Just pretty dull video overall.
Blair you come across as more relaxed/natural this time. Which was great. Wish we could see more of the daily duties of the crew in future episodes
really interested to see what the Atlantic crossing looks like, I imagine it's an awesome journey
Way better than that stupid "reality" show on cable. Ideas? So many.
hey Blair just wanted to let you know that the long videos are really amazing to watch, keep it up🎉
Looking forward to see the travel …. X
All the boat chores to be done by the crew when guests aren't aboard are fascinating to me. Seeing all that's required to maintain such a vessel is great. Thanks so much for sharing, and I look forward to the next installment!!
So much work. It never stops. Thanks for watching 🛥️🥂
Hence the common saying *Break Out Another Thousand - BOAT 😅
@@davo1093 One thing I heard from another yacht channel, Super Yacht Captain, was expect to spend 10% of the yacht's value every year on crew, maintenance, fuel, etc.
Every time you hear "Epic" do a shot..
Hahaha nooo 🫣
Really calling out Blair and Captain there 🫣
You're scaring me, and I barely started the video. ❤
So awesome to see so many South Africans on board 🇿🇦 🤸🏻♀️
I agree, so awesome. 🎉
It is nice showing the crew working. Especially all the hard work that goes on when guests are not there. Just because they are crossing the Atlantic does not mean it is party time. Continue with the great videos.
Just subscribed everyone. Such an amazing concept. This is how real documentaries used to be pre-mainstream. The owners must be so chuffed you are doing this
First time I catch a vid from the crew’s pov and I found it extremely interesting. The level of comradeship that has formed with you folk would be an addition to any organization.
as a retired navigating officer i always really enjoy your videos. big fan of your channel!!
Thank you so much for your support! I'm glad our videos resonate with someone with your experience. It means a lot to us! 🛥🥂
As I stare down half a century of living, this video is another reminder that I missed my calling. Thanks for sharing!
Very polite energetic crew , great to see hard working kids 🏁🏁🏁🏁
SO... WELL... DONE!!! I'll say it again, it's like watching your favorite weekly TV show!
Thanks Bubba! We look forward to your comments each week 🛥️🥂
Nice to hear what some of the crew are up to on their holiday and good to meet Captain Ben. Great teamwork by the crew doing the crossing- you really can see the pride in their hard work to make Loon as beautiful and shipshape as she deserves. Solid content Blair.
When I used to live in west palm I loved going over along A1a and looking at all the yachts. Wish I was still there to see yall
Such a pretty spot
Galley looks amazing! Fries and chip butties! Thanks, Andrew ( Florida)
you are like the "Below Deck" without all the producer introduced drama like having a Tumi or a Kyle on your boat. You guys are always super-professional and informative, while respecting the privacy of the guests and crew!! Well done!
Too cool!! Thanks, Blair, for the great work! Feel like I’m there without having to do the work. I had no clue about the sanding of the teak but it makes sense!! Can’t wait to see the next video-the crossing will be so exciting to see!! Woohoo!! Nina’s meal looked delicious and I wish I was there for the fries!! Just incredible!!
It was delicious 🤤
I really enjoyed the beautiful drone footage of the sea and the yacht, the crew banter, how seriously everyone takes their work, how organised you are, how many South Africans there are on board and the behind the scenes technical aspects especially the cooking.
Thank you for sharing your time with all of us ,All of you work so hard to keep everything looking new, Stay safe while you are all crossing and i am looking forward the next episode.
Thank you guys for sharing part of your crossing the Atlantic Ocean. I hope the weather will be good!!!☺
Good thing, the captain did the crossing several times already. So he knows the way and wouldn't get lost... 🥳
Point the boat west and take a nap 😴
Good luck with the crossing Loon crew. Hope you have a safe journey ❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thank you! 😃
They already have. They've been in Florida for several days already!!
Hope Sean gets those Rakis aligned ! 🎉
Really interesting to see what goes on behind the scenes of a crossing. Thank you for keeping the videos coming.
I think there is a perception that people might find things boring, but the boring details are the things that us plebs might not know about so that is our interest in them. Cheers for the vids.
Truth. ❤
The ability to make ocean crossings is an absolutely essential feature of any yacht I would build. It's great to see behind the scenes of what is involved with that for the crew.
Thanks for watching Peter. Stay tuned for our Caribbean season starting soon 🤙
Blair! Great content. Have been following you guys around the last season and it is special to see what vibe your yachtlife content brings the viewers. Keep it up! For the next season, I really really liked it when captain Paul kind of gave other big yachts their moments with some good shots and some information about them. As a yachtfan I thought that distinguished you guys from other yachtcontent. Looking forward to the next one!
agreed. I love that we get to see different yachts in the videos from Paul.
So happy to hear that you’re enjoying it !
Great to follow the Atlantic Crossing. I always like the technical parts of the videos.
love the way you can see 2 saffers interacting, that dap was clean!
These are great videos. Its a lifestyle i will never be fortumate enough to experience first-hand so to watch such in-depth content is bloody fascinating. Keep up the great work guys and gals.
Love it! A bit of the; practical, maintenance, reality and fun of a crossing.
I get goose bumps every time I watch this. Such a lovely boat and such great crew. I wonder how long it takes to find a crew who all get on so well, I'm sure it would usually take a long time though as many of you are all from the same place its a bit easier. I would love a 1 on 1 with all crew to know them all a bit better (maybe too personal for some), would love to know who is with who and stuff. Cant wait for more footage of a long trip with sea all around with no land in sight. Take care everyone.
What a COOL TOUR guys! 🎉 Awesome crew with awesome aspirations and talents. Your team rocks!
Sean seems so chill and a fun guy! I bet he is a hoot to be around.
This is a very interesting,gives insight to what goes on while no guests on board. Safe passage,look forward to seeing next installments.
Love, love everything that you put out, can't get enough. Great work ❤
Great episode! You all look like you have a lot of fun together.
This is awesome! It is really amazing what a professional crew is like compared to a regular boat owner. Of course the scale is much different, but testing safety equipment is something I should do more regularly too! Thanks! I would like to see a little more about the navigation. The straights look challenging but I would be very interested in how the navigation equipment helps with currents and heading. Thanks again!
Enjoy !! Safe trip and hope you have a great winter.
Loving the footage can't wait for the second half😊
Fair winds and following seas for your crossing Loon!
Great work Blair & crew! Thanks for the video.
Love the videos! The meals for the crew always look amazing too!
Thanks for the video really interesting to see all the hard work that goes into yachting with no guest.
I love watching your videos and short stories. The crew really all work together well and are always happy.
Thank you for watching 🛥️🥂
Love these behind the scenes videos.
looking for your pt2. Yes well presented, I thoroughly enjoyed it
Love your spirit, Jadyn. And mad video skills!
Great video with the understanding of the hard work the crew do. Have a safe crossing.
Loved this! Looking forward to the crossing.
Great to see so many South Africans working on super yachts 😎
Every Loon video is amazing. Well edited, quality drone shots and always showing the crew and the yacht in the very best light. I can hardly wait for your next creative video.
Another epic video .. appreciate all your hard work. Fair winds and following seas on your crossing.. Cheers WiL
I've been really looking forward to this one!
Love the content. F1 prep and go day is the best!
С удовольствием смотрю ваши видео. Благодарю. И счастливого пути.
Fantastic video, looking forward to the second part 👏👏👏
I can't wait to see the results of all your hard work when I book my charter in 2024.
Looking forward to having you on board 🛥️🥂
Hi. Please let me know, besides the cost of the charter, I see there are COSTS as additional. What is encompassed within COSTS? Thank you.
Epic 1st video… love the Loon Crew.. ❤
Great video looking forward to part 2
watching the dream! Seems there is Never a dull moment on Loon ✨✨
👍✅ Great video Blair and crew, tks for sharing.
Amazing videos of amazing people doing a bang-up job! I look forward each week to your new adventures.
Thank you for watching and the encouraging comment. We love filming and producing these videos each week 🛥️🥂
Blair great episode buddy, very informative on what the crew gets up too on the voyage to West Beach Florida. A chip boody how great is that from Chef Nina a real Aussie treat, looking forward to what’s coming. Be safe - from Noosa Australia 🇦🇺
This is a great video! Thank you for sharing.
I really loved it Blair , great work .
Woohoo, can’t wait for the next one ☝️
Ja ek geniet dit verseker - thanks for sharing!
Love all these things, would love to see what each department does exactly for a crossing, also would absolutely love to start seeing a lot more on navigation and what all you do with that actually showing us on the Nav screen? More on traffic separation you talked about and showing us more in depth pleas? Thank you again!
Definitely a huge Nina fan. Love her always happy demeanour. Then again, all of you are always so happy, so maybe I’m a biased Aussie. Keep up the great work Blair.
Enjoyed it, thanks for the detail.
These are super cool to watch! You guys do a great job!!
What a team 💫 can’t wait for caribbean content! another awesome video!
She is a beautiful vessel with an awesome crew.
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing with us 😊
Thank you for these videos. It is so informative about how it is to live and work on a yacht. I would love to see a day in the life of one of the crew. From sun up to sun down. I think that would be so interesting.
We’re going to do day in the life of a few crew shortly. Stay tuned 🛥️🥂
I do so love croatia. miss it a bunch
The word of the day is “Epic”.
I have ALWAYS wanted to see an ocean crossing!!
The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.
again, wonderful footage!
Such a sick crossing 🤪 especially initiation ;)
I’ve been lucky enough to charter , mostly Bahamas and US northeast . I always marveled at our crews but you guys are amazing . I really appreciate what you do to make your guests have a vacation of a lifetime . These videos are a joy to watch . I’m addicted . Keep them coming .
Thank you mark, we love what we do and bringing joy to our guests. Any chance you’ll be chartering us?
Yet another awesome video from the Loon crew
Great video! Thank you. This is incredibly interesting.
Yea Blair it was another really cool video. They are all excellent! You do look tired so I hope you get a break soon. (I will Miss my Motor Yacht Loon fix though).
Great - love the content off charter
Cheers 🎉Great stuff everyone 👍🏻
Great video Blair, a fantastic insight into a trans Atlantic crossing and the deck hands doing the teak sanding down can you show us the finished product and the process to get it back to pristine condition 👍
Are there any Sth Africans left in the country 😂
Good one. ❤
That's a nice Firefight drill for sure. I hope you had a great time in the south of France and thanks for showing TimeZero PRO.
Another awesome, well produced video. Loved the outtakes.
Good job guys safe journey!
Brilliant episode 👏
such epic shots you guy are getting!!!
Very interesting & informative video, best wishes & hopefully calm seas for your crossing looking forward to seeing you next video’s from the crossing & adventures in the Caribbean
Many thanks!
My wife and I enjoy these videos sooooo much ! As a young fella I was the one who did all the maintenance and repairs on our lake houseboat and runabouts. I have a request : Would y'all consider doing a short 10 minute or so video exclusively showing us about the engine room ? Would love to see and hear from the chief engineer all about the mechanical guts of the ship. Thank you !!
Thank you for the support. You can find our engine room tour here: kzhead.info/sun/gNqndrKjp5d-nGw/bejne.htmlfeature=shared
Thanks, I suppose I could have searched video and found that one, but much appreciate the link. Going to watch it with a tall glass of beer and a sense of nostalgia from my days working on a 300 foot gambling boat out of Key West FL. 🙃
I just did a Mediterranean cruise and got to go thru the Messina Strait also. Really nice. You guys will be in my back yard of West Palm Beach.
Just saw you guys coming inside palm beach on the sun deck. Glad you guys had a safe trip!!(Black shirt on dinner boat)
Love the long videos it's therapeutic 😌 snf vibes on point full sending never lifting 😏🤙mobbin deep 🙌 ty for the video
Hahaha thank you !
