Never knew this account was out there!! LOON Rocks!! Shaun is the dude and is learning daily!! Love the food prepared on Loon and the cool vids of the behind the scenes of prep, shopping, dealing with the clients, etc! Thanks!
I started following Nina on the boat that she served on before Loon . My daughter trained at Johnson and Wales in Charleston SC . I have learned a lot about the culinary industry from her and Nina stretched that knowledge considerably. I practiced dentistry for fourth five years in the same location. The nomadic side of yachting intrigues me . Given another run at life I would certainly consider the culinary profession on a yacht ! I owned a fishing boat and loved going to sea . Can’t imagine living there . I know the stress of dealing with demanding patients and think thatI could deal with that . Thank you all for taking the time to share your experiences with a lot of “ wanna be’s “!
Jared an excellent video on Dean and yes Seanne has to be mentioned. The meals served on Loon from what I have seen since watching Loon on You Tube is outstanding. Even when Chef Nina is in rotation with Chef Dean Chef Nina is remarkable. in her own right. Both have their different styles. I would absolutely love the chance to taste the cuisine both these remarkable chef's serve up. Again, we cannot forget Sean as he himself is a huge benefit to the success of both Chef's. The 20 crew members of Loon are extremely lucky to have Sean who is in charge of their meals. Crew eat 1st class and indeed deserve it. Also, a shout out to Capt. Paul for allowing the success in the Galley. Outstanding Loon
Wonderful. I had not been viewing for a while so it is nice to see Jared and Chef Dean working together again on Loon. Last time I saw you two was on yacht Ariance. The food looked so beautiful that I would like the menus and recipes. Thank You Jared.
this is the perfect video. ive been a chef on land for 10 years now and looking to transition onto a yacht hopefully next year, Dean, Nina and Shaun are great inspirations to me
Loon most probably came up in my feed because of me being subscribed to your channel & I've been watching their videos since they bought the new bigger Loon. Great video as always.
Every dish shown really is a work of art. As a guest, I would have a difficult time eating them, no matter how good they undoubtedly taste. I might just ask for something simple, such as a tuna fish sandwich 😊 However, I realize that a great deal of time was invested in the careful and skilled creation of the menu on a given charter, so I suppose I could bring myself to eat what the chefs prepare 😀
8:45 I was under the impression that guests pay for their food in addition to the charter fee. They also pay for gas and mooring and essentially everything. The only thing the base fee gets you is the time on the boat and the crew's time (and you still owe a tip) So obviously you can spend as much as they'll pay for food. If they want to drink a $100,000 bottle of wine, that's fine because they'll be billed for it. You actually cannot do the charter for the charter price because you can't stay anywhere (berthing fees) and you can't go anywhere (fuel costs) without paying more.
You are correct guests pay an APA ( advance provisioning allowance) this is normally set at a level which is likely to cover all consumables food, drinks, berthing fuel etc. Tip is normally on top but depending what’s left in the APA it is sometimes left as the tip. If your up for spending a million bucks a week for your hols then a broker will explain all this to you while you are booking Loon 😁
Seems to me that if you are concerned about costs, then you definetly won't be chartering Loon. In other words, if you need to ask about costs, you can't afford it! 😅
I'm laughing. " Is there a Limit to what you can spend on food aboard ? " Seriously? Food is extra, the Charter party has to pay for it. Plus the yacht is holding a massive deposit for security.
Of course it is stressful being the Head Chef on Loon (with Nina). The Captain of M/Y Loon believes the galley does nothing but chop vegetables and prepare carrots 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@danielheathcote5625one day…. Easy for the captain!! BF, lunch dinner BBQ!!! &… the dishes stay in the sink and the chef can clean it by himself and the chef will never ever find his equipment anymore….😂and… the guests would be happy that the captain cook!!
You cook it, as they want it. I worked for Americans on their yacht for awhile and they were burger people. I certainly had to learn USA food in a hurry. Some American food is exceptional, and you can get great produce there. A lot isn't and my Americans were definitely meat and potatoes guys. American USDA prime rib is wonderful stuff. I had another owner who spent winters in Miami, and if he wanted burgers, I used to have to go to McDonalds to get their thousand Island type BigMac dressing because that's what he liked. I'd order a load of BigMacs with dressing separate, and use it!!!
I know someone she’s been cooking/chefy for years…a bit more than a year ago she announces she want goes to be a chef on a yacht. 😂 I almost 💀 Btw it’s been like four months since the last video
@@jaredwatney Gordon Ramsay was trained by Marco Pierre White at Harveys Restaurant, Wandsworth Common, London. There are loads of TH-cam videos on them.
It’s such a pity that you stage an interview like this. So unnatural! I’m a great fan of this channel and the crew, but this interview does not match this class of boat.
I am impressed with your Cook. Chef, is an over used b.s. term. He cooked for 50 people. A 100., that tells me a lot. He is the real deal and can cook. I am not impressed, with massive white plates, with tiny artistic portions in the center. Every part touched and managed by your bare hands. Less, costs more. I bet this guy could cook some real food like Marco Pierre White does in his current restaurant, since he ditched his Michelin Stars.
Yes each to his or her own. I worked for all kinds of owners, folks who liked simple but good English Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding, Germans who liked high art most of the time, Italians who liked Italian food, Americans who were meat and potatoes people, a multitude of gests who all liked different things. I agree though, if you eat caviar every day, and some owners do just that, it's not special anymore.
Shaun's fortunate to work with two great chef's, Dean and Nina. Great video Jared!

I figured that something was not quite right because the clock on the wall was not keeping up with the interview. LOL. Nice one, though, thanks.
Nice to see you back on Loon again
Great video with Dean, lots of beautiful dishes created
Fantastic collaboration- chef Dean and Jared Whitney. As someone who sucks at cooking, I would love to experience it just once.
this is the perfect video. ive been a chef on land for 10 years now and looking to transition onto a yacht hopefully next year, Dean, Nina and Shaun are great inspirations to me
Dean is probably the best chef: his plates are exact, eclectic, and overall art pieces.
Great to see a Chef at the top of their game, doing what they love, on the best yacht charter out there!
Jared... yet another fantastic job posting photographic excellence starring Chef Dean on yacht Loon.
Great as usual Jared! Great videographer, fantastic yacht!
Loon most probably came up in my feed because of me being subscribed to your channel & I've been watching their videos since they bought the new bigger Loon. Great video as always.
As always great content. Loon is an amazing yacht with a crazy crew....
Superb walk-through and lifestyle explanation.
Ahhh! Epic stuff Dean - Amazing to see.
Been looking back for your channel for years thank god I found it back, missed the content, time to catch up
So fun to watch .
I can only imagine the taste of the exquisite food..
That food looked outstanding, every single bit of it. Great video thanks
“Don’t make a Baguette if you’re in France” well said Dean.
I see Captian Paul schmoozing hard with the brokers.

What an amazing guy !
Two legends in one video! Bargain
😍 Dreamboat Dean
Nice to see a new video from you Jared its been a while hope all is well
Nice video Jared🎉
Loons video was so weak. So glad this followed it up. Much better. Non click bait.
this is so awesome

Well now I want some of those tacos
I thought Nina Wilson AKA TheCrewChef was the head Chef on Loon. Please explain. Thank you
Nina and Dean are both head chef's for Loon. Each overlaps, 6 weeks on, 6 weeks off or so.
The clock behind you gave away that you were talking to air… nice editing though. 😊
I'm laughing. " Is there a Limit to what you can spend on food aboard ? "
Seriously? Food is extra, the Charter party has to pay for it. Plus the yacht is holding a massive deposit for security.
Can someone tell me why almost everyone seems to be from SA/Aus?
Nice video!
I think I missed a video or something. Where is nina?
I feel so hungry!
Of course it is stressful being the Head Chef on Loon (with Nina). The Captain of M/Y Loon believes the galley does nothing but chop vegetables and prepare carrots 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’d love to see a job swap for the day so we could see if Paul changed his mind!
@@danielheathcote5625one day…. Easy for the captain!! BF, lunch dinner BBQ!!! &… the dishes stay in the sink and the chef can clean it by himself and the chef will never ever find his equipment anymore….😂and… the guests would be happy that the captain cook!!
😂 I was like these guys trippin and then it happened at the end….
Wowzers! Ha - everyone wants to be a chef until you work 15 a 16 hours a day for 14 days in a row. 😂 amazing what you are able to do! 😮
I wondered why it sounded like Jared was post stroke talking to Dean
Only 1 in a 1000 could be a chef
and only 1 in 10,000 could be a Yacht chef.
35 metre boat, 50 guests and 20 crew, plus cooking for 100 guests on the day boat? I find this pretty unbelievable as a sole chef?
Nope
Nice 👍
Meanwhile I’m over here eating a pop tart
Every meal could be your last meal.. wow. No pressure. lol.
I wonder what the chef does when they get a burger, fries and chicken wing guest. Or a rare steak and potatoes with Cheetos guest?
The same as any other request. There's nothing wrong with Cheetos!!!
You cook it, as they want it. I worked for Americans on their yacht for awhile and they were burger people. I certainly had to learn USA food in a hurry. Some American food is exceptional, and you can get great produce there. A lot isn't and my Americans were definitely meat and potatoes guys. American USDA prime rib is wonderful stuff.

Btw it’s been like four months since the last video
Lekker
What happened to Blair?
Bigger dreams and hes chasing them :)
What happened to Nina?
Where is Nina?
Rotational chefs. 2 months on, 2 off
Every flight could be your last.
- a pilot
Is Nina not onboard anymore?
Nina and Dean rotate as head chef between Loon and Loon 180, every couple or few months, I believe!
If I don't remember incorrectly they rotate between the position as head chef on M/Y Loon and having time off, not between both boats. (?)
@@hanneslindstrom10 You're probably right!
Both Nina and Dean rotate as our amazing head chef doing 8weeks on / 8 weeks off. 🛥️👩🍳👨🍳
👍🌺👍🌺👍🌺
Nina gone ?
👍✅
Yeah. We Know. Many cheffs feel its very stressful to boil pasta. 😂 👍
I’ll have a ham sandwich thanks, and a beer.
So be rests his bum on the food-preparation counter..
That’s the first thing I noticed
Are you as good as Gordon Ramsey ?
Chef Dean trained Gordon Ramsey
@@jaredwatney Gordon Ramsay was trained by Marco Pierre White at Harveys Restaurant, Wandsworth Common, London. There are loads of TH-cam videos on them.
I hope he sanitized the stovetop he was sitting on.
😂

It wasn’t staged. But it was corrected after a camera malfunction which you see at the end.
Shame to spend your working career worrying about the sack all the time.

No offense
But if I owned the Yacht 🛥️, I would want simple foods
Yes each to his or her own.
