Escape to Luxury: Experience the Exclusive 4-Day Christmas SUPERYACHT Charter!
Okay welcome back I’m captain Paul clarkk this is mod yot Lon we’re here in St Thomas we’ve got a quick little 4-day trip around the Virgin Islands so starting in St Thomas going into the bvis doing a little bit of scuba diving a lot of Shor side activities and then
Coming back and dropping off in St Thomas in a couple of days time so stick around and see what we get up To okay there we go we just picked up guests uh at the ri’s count here and thas let me know when you’re ready copy that short toe and we just picked up anchor we’re now going to cruise out of the bay here and uh copy bring the anchor home
And then we’re going to cruise around to Megan’s Bay about a 45 minute cruise the uh HCB real wild she’s already shot ahead we’re going to get there full noise everything in the water and just have a massive water sports day so uh let’s Go okay cool we’ve just arrived in Megan’s Bay you might be able to see in the camera here the boys are just recovering the xcraft tender we towed that one around and the HCB ran ahead uh we’re just going to quickly recover that I’m going to then scooch in a little bit
Further and try and come right in as far as I can in the bay just is a little bit of ground swell in here so just try and get a little bit more comfortable then we’re going to go what we call full noise that is absolutely everything in
The water so that’s you know the pool the slide the xcraft already in all the toys jet skis xcraft away cobby and uh and get it done so uh while we’re here in the USV it’s uh you know in a previous video I said no jet skis in the bvis the bvis
Had a number of jet ski accidents I guess in the early ’90s and then they just said no more to jet skis let’s just uh ban them outright so no jet skis in the BVI so we try to get them in here while we can let’s Go okay so we’re just doing the jet skis the boys in the back are doing the pool and the slide so while they’re back there working back there I’m up here forwards I got Cory up forwards Dylan down in the hole and we’re just going to get these skis in nice and
Quick well so go is the second jet ski Dills running down in the hall doing a good job so I normally either myself the chief officers or Second Officer Bon usually Drive the davits uh this is one of the uh more you know room for error Maneuvers that where things can go wrong
Quickly so often it’s usually one of the three of us that’s driving and then uh and then the rest of the boys are running around like crazy also means I don’t need to get wet so we got Cory down in the water there waiting for the
Jet ski as soon as it touches the water water he unclips and he he rides off into the sunset so I used to do that but I’ve paid my [Laughter] Juice so day one on the charter we’re starting off with a bang and doing a uh we’re doing a little sushi lunch for these guys so we’ve got a chuna tataki here with ponzu um and then we’ve got a nice little lobster udon salad with a nam Jim
Dressing we’ve got some Hamachi here which is uh noou style um and then we’ve got some teriak chicken for the kids here got a little Sushi Boat of niris uh in the corner here of chuna Hamachi and salmon um and then we’re still still plating up some of the hot stuff we’ve
Got some prawn Torpedoes there with the kimchi mayonnaise um and then a couple of dishes actually gone up we’re doing about 11 dishes today so uh as usual Blair’s laid in the galley so he’s missed half the action we’re not going to talk about that though are we um but
I’m going to serve this up now you got to get out so let’s Roll We have a new team member this is Dylan um you guys have seen him before would have been on one of our videos from Croatia I think I introduced you to the Vlog yeah the brnik we you started just before the tenm chter so yeah just then
It was actually a really good video that was probably one of my favorite video most of the footage was mine but none of it was Dylan’s but I’ll link that video below but Dylan is a very talented videographer too so thanks man first thing I heard you say yeah um but
Yeah hopefully you guys get to see a lot more of D I’m sure he’ll be filming a lot of our guest stff when they go on little excursions and you’ll see him in front of the camera quite a bit from now the GoPro Master yeah exactly the GoPro
King yeah that’s it good to have you here cool man thank you welcome aboard we’ll have a good months yeah definitely years cool whatever epic sweet bro Thanks all right so it’s a little after 1: p.m. and we’re winding down for the day super busy day my alarm went off at 5:00 this morning we got up we moved around from St Thomas sh Charlotte amalei around to the Ritz where we got the guests on board and then we
Continued moving around to Megan’s Bay here uh absolutely flat out with the water spots but um guess loved it uh super protected in this Bay which is why we love coming here and then tomorrow we’re going to pick up anchor move into the bvis do Customs immigration and then
Uh go do a Stern TI in Normans so another busy day ahead but uh loving it so far see you tomorrow okay good morning everyone it is day two the guests have just stepped off the boat so it is time to have a bit of fun the boys are packing all um
Packing up the whole Stone set up so I thought now was a perfect time to just get them a bit wet and show you our new latest toy on the bottom of this drone we have a water balloon dropper which was about 20 bucks off Amazon the best
20 bucks we’ve ever spent and it’s activated from a switch on our control and this little guy over here now drops water balloons so let’s go see how it works we have our water balloon loaded and ready going to get this drone up in air quickly before they pack up up um
And then get the other drone in the air so you can see what’s going on so this should be pretty interesting okay that’s one drone up in this Cary going up now oh there’s so many of them on the swim platform too this is great I’m not making friends here people
Are going to be really upset with me about this but it’s all for you guys and for me cuz I enjoy this oh yes this is so good okay here we go 3 two one dropping [Laughter] oh we hit someone oh I don’t know how happy Cory is about that he’s probably really
Upset and I think there’s someone someone just came up to the swim platform and this I think it’s just a fan that’s just rolled up what a ledge okay let’s let’s let them pack up and it will carry on with the rest of the Day okay good morning uh we’re currently sitting in the bvis we’re at soapa Hall this is a port of entry into the BVI so we come here our passports G to shore stamp stamp stamp and then we’re free to go around the uh bvis and look who’s
Back you know Davey see you so Davey and Tyler rotated about a week ago so um we’ve got Davey back on board while Tyler’s back at home uh on vacation yeah resting up he’s had a had a long run so yeah sure he’s enjoying himself what you
Been to California uh I was back in South Africa had a a friend’s wedding and then just back seeing family friends uh went to the bush a bit yeah nice nice relaxing time the vacation must feel good it’s not a vacation when you have a child
But it’s it was good it was good to be with the family we always see Sally in the comments she loves it sh it’s my husband awesome awesome all right well thanks Davey and we’ll just keep hanging out here hopefully the passports don’t take too much longer then we have about
A quick little 45 minutes so Passage down to Norman Island where we’re going to set up for the afternoon so let’s get it done yeah Boy okay so that’s the first line on got about medium tension on it Cory’s just on the swim platform now grabbing that next line so there he goes he’s swimming in now looking good so that’s two anchors two Stern lines now what I’ll do is once that uh port side lines on I’ll
Just bring it back a little bit nice and slowly the boys will take the slack in out of the lines till we get in a position we want to be and then they’ll pull up on the anchors and then at that point we’re going to be completely
Locked in last chter when we were here wasn’t that great it was rainy the whole time that was the one where Franco did the big hike and the rain um but I mean days like today this is perfect uh the blue crystal clear blue water you know nice
Skies awesome we’re going to do a couple of scuba Dives now uh yeah what a great Day woo welcome to the lon Galley we’ve all been here before um so guests have just arrived yesterday and they’ve actually requested a seven course tasting menu which you can see up here I’m not sure of flair zoom in on that it’ll show you in
A little bit um so I’m doing like a American Asian inspired uh menu there which is basically the flavors of um you know Japanese uh what else do I have on there I’ve got some Chinese on there I’ve got some uh some bows some Ramen
Some sushi tacos I try to combine to hit those flavor profiles of American uh that love those Asian flavors so yeah hopefully this goes smoothly I’ve got Sea on the pans here preparation is key here I’ve got everything laid out nice and clean Galley um everything’s ready to go so check it out Woo All right so that took about 1 hour um for all seven courses to be served uh we’ve just taken up dessert at the moment so guests said they loved it uh which is great news it is always good news um and yeah I love doing these these uh tasting menu I say degustation
Tasting men tasting we’ll go with that uh I love doing these tasting menus every so often um you know to mix it up from the family style that we usually do for lunches uh but yeah all went well proof is in the pudding ehh yes Chef all right good morning it’s a Christmas day and we’re sitting here at Peter island it is beautiful the weather is spectacular it’s a gorgeous day here and um we’ve all got our Christmas gear on getting ready getting in the spirit but we have two boys on the beach doing
A big beach set up and they don’t have any Christmas gear so send them a hat we going to send them a hat let’s give him a hat just get them in the spirit yeah get those scrooges and hats so BL set up a drone and he’s going to fly the hats
Over so I don’t know I think I’m not too sure how this is going to go Blair might be swimming for another drone shortly but he seems to think he’ll get it done I’m confident in this I think I think we got this there it go oh
Fail all right now we’re got to find now we got to go get there now we’re got to go find a Dean in wets to go find it dick boys dick boys deck boys deck boys yon’s a little grumpy this morning maybe we should go ask him yeah I think

Now this videographer is going to do my HD in thanks be I can’t believe I actually got him to do that nice be I’m so so proud of you look at you going to be a wet Christmas so blaz just caught us all to the bow for a uh quick group shot so

Onion we’ve got some Ceviche of wahooo as well gravy cranberry jelly and I’ve made them a chocolate raspberry and pineapple pav for dessert I think this is possibly one of the best breads I’ve ever seen you put out um yeah it was a bit timec consuming I sacrificed my

Another great video, some great sunset shots and I'll say it again, I love that chase boat. Thanks for sharing.
Do you ever get guesses that want to be filmed for the videos?
Paul needs to be careful when talking about two anchors.
Blair,
You should consider setting up GoPros throughout the vessel and have the team record certain tasks like cooking/meal prep, deployment of the slides, tender, pool, etc… then timelapse the footage and add it to these videos. Detailed content is created without you having to be there.
This gives us more visibility as to what occurs in the vessel.
Setting up the cameras and angles will take practice but it’s a great addition of content and more “behind the scenes” footage.
Great video! 🙂 What is the best tip % and $ you ever got at Loon?
It's called an Aussie Pav for a reason !! Dean is 💯 % on it ! 🤟
Love the Christmas shirts
If Blair wasn't filming John, he wouldn't have gone and got those hats.
I don't even think the deckhands realized that you dropped a water Ballon on them.
Love you guys. Keep up the good work❤
Happy new year🎉
I have a theory I’m studying on these videos-Americans are better tippers than Europeans.
Yes you guys came through to aid my withdrawal! Brilliant vlog…lot of work goes into them…..go Loon go Loon. Love from Nord Norge
17:05 I could see myself working a yacht just for the food!
Dean is clearly trying to find out how many kiwis watch the channel.
The Pavlova is a NZ invention. Also the best Christmas dessert.
Be great if they banned jet skis everywhere. Disruptive to other boaters and the environment. Kayaks, SUPs, etc are a better idea. Thanks BVI.
I think this is my favorite Loon video so far. A short holiday cruise showcasing. the arrival protocol, who the guests meet 1st, of course the food presentation was over the top and catering to the American Turkey tradition looked like fun. Weren't these guests your favorite repeat customers you were looking forward to spending the holidays with?
Food looked fantastic. Merry Christmas and a Happy Mew Year to all the lovely Loon crew. Greg 🇬🇧
Great video as usual! Blair your hard work is appreciated these videos are a nice break every week! Love you!
Has the Aussie chefs ever thought about showing their guests some Australian food especially using native ingredients.
Thank you everyone for watching. Please drop us a comment below on any questions you have or anything you'd like to see in a future video. 🛥🥂
Nice one..thanks!!🎉..little warming up sitting in saloon of my boat in freezing cold the Netherlands here now..😅
Enjoy your sun. I just found my snow shovel and dressed the dogs in snow gear 😂 totally different experience. Water sports here mean not falling on ice 😂lol
Как красиво!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Благодарю!
Amazing video as always Blair.
Pavlova is a New Zealand dish through and through… No matter what those “Aussies” say… They “try” to claim all the best from NZ… Not happening this time Captain Paul…
