As one of the most sought-after charter yachts in the Caribbean and Mediterranean, we are thrilled to have a huge following on our social media channels where we regularly share behind-the-scenes glimpses of our journey. Yet, despite our frequent updates featuring our exceptional crew, unparalleled luxury amenities, and the fun with endless water toys in incredible yachting destinations, there’s so much more to M/Y Loon.
Having recently featured in a Robb Report article shining a spotlight on Loon’s 12 coolest facts, we wanted to take you behind the scenes of these and reveal even more about our one-of-a-kind charter experience:
1. Endless Toy Inventory
Motor Yacht Loon is celebrated not just for our extensive collection of the latest water toys but also as a prime testing ground for new products. Loon’s philosophy, “Those who have the most toys win,” underscores our passion for water sports, which is evident in our diverse offerings from brands like FunAir, ScubaPro, Cabrinha, LIFT foils, and much more.
Because we have an expert crew that includes professional watersports athletes, brands often seek to collaborate with us to test and refine new toys before they launch. These partnerships provide invaluable feedback, ensuring the products meet the high standards of yacht and watersports enthusiasts who charter Loon in search of the latest and greatest yacht toys. Additionally, our reputation has made us a favourite choice for brands looking to feature their products in high-profile photoshoots on our yacht.
If you’re a brand with a new water toy, contact Motor Yacht Loon to learn more about our testing and collaboration opportunities.
2. A-Star Yacht Crew
A feature highlighting Motor Yacht Loon wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the crew. What truly sets Yacht Loon apart from the competition is the diverse and skilled team we have onboard. Our crew members are not just professionals in their maritime roles, providing seven-star service daily, but they also bring a variety of other talents to enhance the guest experience. Among them are a certified yoga instructor, a personal trainer, a professional kitesurfer, a skilled masseuse, and a DJ. This combination of skills ensures that every guest enjoys a truly customized and unparalleled experience onboard, with a crew dedicated to going above and beyond in every aspect of their stay.
3. Onboard Superyacht Content Creator
Highlighted in a Robb Report article, a unique aspect of our team is the dedicated content creator onboard Motor Yacht Loon. This crew member is exclusively tasked with capturing the essence of life on Loon, documenting both the unforgettable experiences of our guests and the crew’s behind-the-scenes activities. Every charter trip ends with a special gift for our guests: a high-definition movie capturing all the cherished moments of their vacation. This personal touch ensures that the memories made aboard Loon are beautifully preserved and cherished long after.
4. Pioneering Yacht Inflatables
Loon is renowned for its signature sea pool setup, a game-changer in yachting that has prompted many other vessels to adopt similar features. This exclusive addition not only creates a vibrant beach club atmosphere directly on the water but also extends the superyacht by several meters. This expansion provides charter guests with even more space to enjoy their time onboard M/Y Loon. Motor Yacht Loon is much more than just a user of water toys; it’s a trendsetter in the yachting community. Inflatable specialist FunAir crafted the unique and iconic Beach Club Sea Pool and the first-of-its-kind inflatable Yacht Slide with a chic carbon-fibre finish specifically for Loon. As a FunAir ambassador, we were also the first to offer guests shaded canopies over the Inflatable Sea Pool Loungers. Adding an inflatable Platform extension to our sea pool setup not only acts as a buffer for water toys but also serves as a launchpad for Jet Skis, Lift foils, diving activities and other water sports. Additionally, the netted enclosure of the sea pool provides essential protection for swimmers against ocean currents and jellyfish.
5. Our Charter Guests
We love hosting various guests onboard Yacht Loon, from couples to families to corporate groups. We are equipped to cater to all types of yacht charters. As we told Robb Report: “We regularly get a tonne of A-listers onboard doing epic things.” A great example is when celebrity influencer Dan Bilzerian spent an afternoon wake-surfing behind Motor Yacht Loon during one of his charters. But it isn’t just the viral content that we experience onboard. We host various unique activities, from magicians and fire breathers to famous DJs; we ensure our guests have the best time onboard, no matter who they are.
6. A Premium Honey Experience
Did you know we have our own beehive? Yacht Loon adopted a beehive in Finland and teamed up with the biodynamic honey producers at Hikian. It is the world’s best honey, and we are proud to serve it on our breakfast table alongside our chef’s sweet creations. Not only is it delicious, but it also comes with various health benefits. Can you name another superyacht that boasts its own beehive, producing premium honey for its guests? We’ll wait.
7. First to Accept Crypto Payments
As pioneers in the superyacht industry, Motor Yacht Loon was the first to accept charter fees in cryptocurrency. Today, if you wish to charter Loon, you have the option to pay using Bitcoin. We pride ourselves on staying ahead of the curve, and offering cryptocurrency payments is just one way we cater to the modern needs of our guests.
8. Successful Search & Rescue
During our last Caribbean charter season, we were in the right place at the right time to help our yachting community. we assisted the US Coastguard in retrieving an overturned fishing vessel and played a crucial role in rescuing a lost scuba diver in the British Virgin Islands. Our timely actions and readiness to help underscore our commitment to safety and community support.
9. One-of-a-Kind Interior Details
This is one of our favourite stories about the building of the Motor Yacht Loon. The three-ton stone bathtub in the master ensuite is a particular highlight of the luxurious space. Due to its massive weight and size, it had to be installed before the final deck panels were put on! This highlights the meticulous planning and dedication that makes Loon stand out. The team’s extraordinary effort to ensure this feature wasn’t just luxurious, but a defining element of opulence onboard Loon, exemplifies the yacht’s special attention to detail and commitment to luxury.
10. Seamless Connectivity
To consistently share Yacht Loon’s activities and ensure our guests can stay connected or conduct business while on charter, maintaining a reliable internet connection is essential. Our onboard Starlink system provides fast Wi-Fi, perfect for streaming, downloading, and seamless communication. Additionally, our recently upgraded 26-inch touchscreen panels on the bridge help keep all yacht systems at optimal levels, allowing for easy adjustments to ensure guest comfort and connectivity at all times.
11. Family-Friendly Features
We are ideally suited for a family yacht charter and love having families onboard. After our refit in 2020, our guests always comment on how they appreciate our relaxed and homey but luxurious interiors. We also have large main, upper, and lower saloons, perfect for families to hang out in while the adults relax and the children play Playstation in the other. Our king-sized beds can also be split into twins for flexible sleeping arrangements.
12. A Superyacht Sanctuary
We have a designated spa and wellness area with a sauna and massage room alongside a fully enclosed gym with Peloton equipment. To add to the wellness features, Yacht Loon also hosts an infinity-edge swimming pool, cascading off the back with a vantage point ideal for watching others play with the toys.
