My wife asked me why I enjoy watching M/Y Loon on KZfaq. It’s because of videos like this. Paul is such a likable guy (so is the crew!), where would I ever see a video of a tour up this river and…it’s not Below Decks! Shout out to eSysman Super Yachts for spending a segment in Monaco about Loon! The two best KZfaq super yacht channels, bar none.

Paul does indeed appear to be a nice guy but I also get the impression that he's not a man you would want to "disappoint". He'd be a great boss but his expectations would be very high. That makes him an ideal superyacht skipper.

Another awesome video! Really loved all the tech details and the tour of the river was fun too. Two questions: 1. will the boat get shrink wrapped or covered in some way before going on the rack? 2. why not get a diesel powered chase boat so you can bunker from Loon? Just curious... Thanks for all the amazing content!!!
@motoryachtloon Ай бұрын
Thanks, Barry. Yes, we have a full boat cover for the tender. It was just off getting serviced. The cover will go on once the detailing team has finished before it goes up in the rack. Unfortunately, Yamaha doesn't make diesel outboards. Our chase boat in the Med is a diesel, and we bunker it from Loon. Luckily, the HCB holds over 1,000 gallons of gas, so we don't need to bunker her that often. Thanks for watching -CPC

Have you ever considered swapping the outboards for OXE Marine Diesel 300hp Units. Better torque and you can fuel directly from loon. Likely better economy too.
@motoryachtloon Ай бұрын
Great question. The whole industry is watching the OXE outboards hoping this is the future. However, they are currently too heavy, do not have enough HP, and are not reliable enough for out-of-the-way extended cruising. Hopefully, this will be corrected over the next few years, as having diesel outboards would be amazing. 😎

This may be a dumb question but, when you're running at low speeds up the channels, do you still run all four motors, or do you have the ability to shut down two & conserve fuel?
@motoryachtloon Ай бұрын
Hey Gary, that's a great question. Yes, we do. For most of this video, we were just on the 2 outboard engines. Reducing the hours on the motors can save considerably on fuel and operational costs, extending the time between services. A full service on quad 450hp engines can cost up to $20k, so reducing the hours on the motors can save considerably. 😎

Paul, two questions: Why do you leave that tender in FLL and not drag it across to the Med? When you're moving the HCB a short distance and low speed, do you still run all four engines?
@motoryachtloon Ай бұрын
Hey Tony, We have two chase boats: the HCB in the Caribbean and the Anvera in the Mediterranean. If you haven't already seen the Anvera video we did last year, go check it out. Both boats have different purposes and uses. Also, insurance wouldn't let us tow the HCB across the Atlantic due to the risk of losing it. Also, the extra fuel burn caused by the drag of the tender doesn't justify it on long trans-ocean passages. If we were to bring the HCB to Europe, we would ship it and pick it up this side. 2nd question: Yes, we often drop down engines if we are just putting them along. 🛥🥂

A few of the bridges and those two turns were a bit squeaky bum - I bet you’re glad you didn’t have to bring something anywhere near the size of loon up! So, whilst you were doing this, crew had already completed their Atlantic crossing? Is it my mind playing tricks, or is everything really out of sequence?
