With the ever-expanding portfolio of charter yachts vying for attention, the 221-foot Loon took to social media to showcase its offerings. Not just with a Facebook page of pretty destinations, but with an Instagram account that now has 140,000 followers and a YouTube channel with 122,000 folks who watch its journeys.

The yacht, previously christened  Icon,  splashed in 2010 when it left the Dutch shipyard Icon Yachts. Purchased in 2023 by owners who named the yacht after their lakehouse residents, the loon bird, it is now widely recognized on the charter scene, thanks partly to its social-media presence but mostly because of its eclectic crew.

Captain Paul Clarke, who has been with the owner since 2017 and created the social-media frenzy, made his way from the vessel’s smaller siblings to helm this third generation of yachts named Loon. An overflowing toy box and tenders that include a wake-surfing boat, as well as an inventory of all the top brands, have made this an exceptional charter vessel, with IYC being the primary brokers.

The yacht’s timeless lines and contemporary features are a testament to RWD Design’s forward-thinking philosophy. “ Loon has many features which are only now being incorporated into today’s yachts,” Clarke told Robb Report.

Here are 10 cool facts about this social superyacht.

An impressive catalog of toys is a given on any reputable charter yacht, but Loon ‘s toy trove is a cut above the rest. “Those who have the most toys win—this has always been our mantra,” says Capt. Paul Clarke. “For instance, most yachts have two Jet Skis, we have four. We apply that philosophy across the toy spectrum.” It is a thrill-a-minute onboard with Seabobs, wakeboards, scuba equipment, foils, and more towables and inflatables than one can get on in a week. Loon is regularly asked to test toys before they hit the market. “We always get pre-release toys to demo. We were also the first superyacht to carry Lift foils,” adds Clarke.

A Singing, Dancing Crew

The linchpin holding a great charter together is the crew. But Loon raises the bar with its onboard team, who are born entertainers. Besides their regular duties, crewmembers double as a scuba instructor, a masseuse, a pro kitesurfer, a personal trainer, a yoga instructor, and even a DJ. The chief engineer provides an added layer of charm with his guitar skills for evening soirees. “I always hire crew who have secondary skills,” says Clarke.

The Influencer

If it isn’t on social media, did it even happen? Clarke started Loon ‘s social accounts back in the day to share the wealth of content he gathered from shooting videos of guests. Today, Loon has a crew member whose sole job is to create content with “equipment in hand 24/7.” This person, using drones and an occasional helicopter, creates charter memories with videography, photography, and other content-creation skills. Clarke says Loon is the only superyacht to have this dedicated position. The strategy has paid off. The vessel has 143,000 Instagram followers and 121,000 YouTube subscribers tuning in to watch its every move.

Loon-Inspired Inflatables

Aside from the yacht’s signature beach club, Loon literally expands for on-the-water playtime. In fact, the yacht is more than a consumer of water toys. It’s an influencer. Inflatable manufacturer FunAir developed its Beach Club Sea Pool, the first-of-its-kind inflatable Yacht Slide (with a stylish carbon-fiber finish) specifically for this yacht. This section serves as a bumper point for toys and launchpad for Jet Skis. The netted surroundings also protect swimmers from currents and jellyfish.

Looney Activities

Loon’ s activities regularly catch the eyes of onlookers. The vessel’s G23 Nautique is ideal for wake surfing. However, when chartering, the professional poker player and influencer Dan Bilzerian decided to take water stunts up a notch or two and wake-surf behind the yacht itself. While Loon regularly has “tons of A-listers” on board doing epic things, stunts are also for the crew. For its Instagram feed, the crew have leaped over the bow dressed as Thanksgiving turkeys and pulled off impressive kitesurfing jumps. The next booked charter will include magicians, helicopters, fire breathers, and a renowned DJ. “We try to make it extraordinary no matter who the guest is,” says Clarke. 

The Honey Bees

Teaming up with the biodynamic honey producers at Hikian in southern Finland, Loon has adopted its own beehive and features the honey in its cuisine. The buzz around this premium honey is that the bees thrive in the unspoiled air of the Finnish forest. As well as the flavor, the honey also accompanies the chef’s creations.

Crypto Charters

Two years ago, the former Loon was the first superyacht to accept charter fees in cryptocurrency. Fast forward to now, the current Loon continues to accept Bitcoin for bookings. Embracing crypto transactions is not just another form of payment but also a nod to a younger yachting clientele.

Involved in Rescue Missions

This Caribbean charter season has already seen Loon involved in two successful search-and-rescue missions. The first was retrieving an overturned fishing boat at the request of the U.S. Coast Guard. Just before Christmas, Loon also responded to another search and rescue that came from a couple scuba diving in the Dog Islands. Clarke sent the tender ahead to locate the missing woman who had been swept out. “It could have ended much worse if the rescue hadn’t come together so quickly,” he says.

The Main Suite Built Around the Bathtub

The interior styling by Studio Linse is inviting across all seven cabins, but the one that really catches the eye is the full-beam primary suite. With neutral and contemporary aesthetics, it is located on the main deck, where large windows flood the space with natural light. But the spotlight really shines on the impressive three-ton stone bathtub in the ensuite. It had to be installed before the deck was put on—a true commitment to a relaxing soak.

Well Connected

Loon keeps everyone connected wherever it is anchored by remaining fully hooked up to the onboard Starlink system. Besides fast Wi-Fi for work or socializing, entertainment demands are also met, thanks to the fully integrated Apple TV system, delivering every kind of movie on the yacht’s big screens. The electronic bells and whistles continue in the bridge, which recently saw upgrades to the 26-inch touchscreen panels that control all elements of the yacht.

Billionaires and Their Superyachts Are Flocking to This Caribbean Island

Dashing away in quiet snowy seclusion is how some celebrities do it for the holidays. Others can make like Succession 's Roy family and embark on enormous and, if you know where to look, trackable ships.

Superyachts, as they are called, are finite in number. Only 2,374 are floating around out there according to SuperYachtNews.com , and if anyone should know, it seems like it would be them. (The actual definition of what makes a superyacht remains slippery , suffice to say that the best way to know if you are on a superyacht is not having to ask.) When there is an uptick in superyacht movement, as there is from November to December, it becomes easier to assess which island is more enticing for a billionaire holiday retreat.

Shipspotters have returned with data and, as reported by Bloomberg , we have a clear champion this season in Sint Maarten, the Dutch bottom half of the island of Saint Martin. (The French have Saint-Martin on the top; jot that down, this may be on the pop quiz.)

Sint Maarten clocked a jump from 16 to 52 superyachts, including Eclipse owned by Roman Abramovich , head of Millhouse Capital and owner of the British Premiere League’s Chelsea F.C. They came in 3rd place last year, which is fitting in that Eclipse is the third-largest superyacht out there on the seas. Hey, Roman, bubi, come on, let’s try for some silver medals next year, huh? We believe in you!

For comparison, Eclipse is 533 feet and Solandge , the actual, rentable boat at the end of last season’s Succession , is a mere 279. (That charter will cost you €1 million for a week plus expenses, which converts to dollars as boatloads .)

After Sint Maarten the other big changes in superyacht appearances were off the coast of St. Barts, Antigua and Turkey. The ships were departing in largest numbers from Spain, The United States and Italy.

If any of you aqua-snoops would like to spend an entire afternoon looking for yachts owned by celebrities, check out the very addictive interactive map on MarineTraffic.com . Once you get familiar with who owns which vessel you might actually catch someone en route to a vacation destination. After a little poking around it appears that Seven Seas , owned by Steven Spielberg , is staying put off the coast of Florida, but Tiger Woods's ship is en route to a port in the Bahamas. We won't get into more detail than that, as the name of the ship is Privacy .

68m Icon flagship to join the Loon charter fleet

The  67.5-metre Loon , formerly Icon , has joined the charter fleet following her sale at the end of April. She is now under the same ownership as the popular 54.8-metre Newcastle superyacht Loon , one of Instagram's most famous yachts for charter. Both are managed by IYC .

First launched in 2010 to a design RWD and Studio Linse , the newest Loon yacht has become well-known in the Bahamas and the wider Caribbean circuit. Her charter success, particularly with American clients, is partially owed to her activity on social media, as well as offering European charter rates in cryptocurrency.

“We're super excited about this new yacht and feel like it’s a great next step for the Loon programme,” said Captain Paul Clarke. “Over the last seven years, we have gone from the 47-metre Christensen to the 55-metre Newcastle and now onto this new 67.5-metre Icon.”

The 67.5-metre Icon boasts a number of amenities that allow her to be a resounding success in the charter market such as her raised main deck pool with two panels of glass that allow natural light to flood the beach club below. A bar, gym, massage room and sauna are also found at this level. Forward of the pool is also an al fresco dining area with a table (one of three spots on board) that sits laterally across the deck.

“I love the feel of this yacht with its dark grey hull and striking lines,” added Clarke. “Below we have a massive beach club with a fold-down swim platform door with access to a brand new FunAir beach club swimming pool. The beach club is accessed directly from the lower guest cabins, which will be great for rolling out of bed, walking down the hallway, and jumping into the water.”

Having completed an extensive refit in 2020, her interiors are bright and contemporary, with a seven-cabin layout for 12 guests overnight. Her owner’s suite has a dual-level arrangement with its own private terrace, while her VIP cabin is situated on the upper deck. Loon also carries two brand-new tenders including the X-Craft beach lander and the G23 Nautique, a top selection for wakeboarding.

Much like her sister in the Loon fleet, the 67.5-metre will have a large presence on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. The other 55-metre Loon vessel will continue to operate alongside the newly acquired 67.5-metre vessel for the Mediterranean season and are both now accepting bookings.

The new Loon recently checked in to La Ciotat for maintenance and upgrades.

The Luxury Amenities of the Stardust

When it comes to luxury amenities, the Stardust is in a class of its own.

At 394 feet long, the Stardust is the largest and most opulent yacht in the fleet of superyachts owned by Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko.

The Mystery Surrounding Stardust’s Ownership

The mystery surrounding the ownership of Stardust, the 394-foot luxury superyacht, has been a topic of intrigue since its construction in 2019.

Built by the German shipyard Nobiskrug, the vessel is estimated to have cost $450 million to construct.

Its eight decks, infinity pool, and nighclub have made it a topic of envy amongst the wealthy elite.

Although the superyacht is owned by Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko, the exact details of its ownership remain shrouded in mystery.

This is because Melnichenko is known for his penchant for privacy, and it is believed that he may have employed a variety of techniques to keep the ownership of Stardust a closely guarded secret.

One possible explanation is that the yacht is registered under a third-party trust or company.

This would mean that the vessel’s true ownership is not publicly available, making it difficult to ascertain who exactly owns the Stardust.

It is also possible that Melnichenko has employed a variety of other methods to veil the ownership of the yacht, such as transferring ownership to a family member or close associate.

Whatever the case, the mystery surrounding Stardust’s ownership is an intriguing one.

This is amplified by the fact that Melnichenko also owns the A, the Sailing Yacht A, and the Motor Yacht A – all of which are equally luxurious and expensive vessels.

It is clear that the Russian billionaire has a penchant for luxury, and it is no surprise that he has chosen to keep the ownership of Stardust a closely guarded secret.

By Katie Scott   4 September 2023

Dutch shipyard Heesen has successfully delivered the stunning 80m (262ft) superyacht GENESIS to her new owner, setting a new benchmark for the yard as the biggest yacht they have built to date.

Surpassing the previous record holders of Galactica Super Nova at 70m (229.6ft) and charter yacht ILLUSION at 65m (213ft), the new flagship is a custom-built motor yacht with design collaborations from Van Oossanen Naval Architects, Winch Design, and Sinot Yacht Architecture and Design. Embodying the classic, sporty DNA of the Heesen fleet, GENESIS is undeniably a true Heesen superyacht but with a contemporary and almost futuristic twist on previous builds.

Sporting a six-cabin layout, superyacht GENESIS hosts an army of indulgent features and amenities including a fully certified touch-and-go helipad that can also transform into an outdoor cinema, a glass-bottomed swimming pool, abundant exterior deck space for socializing and relaxing in the Mediterranean sun, plus an on-deck Jacuzzi and WiFi connectivity.

Enabling the owner and their guests seamless access to the sea, motor yacht GENESIS has a generous beach club environment with a wet bar, in addition to plenty of storage for adrenaline-fuelled water toys.
