Here is the 67.50-meter "ICON" sailing in to Gibraltar today. She was built by Dutch yard Icon Yachts back in 2010. She wasn't always this length, she was shorter at around 62.5-meters and had a 5-meter extension during a major refit a few years ago. Studio Redman Whiteley Dixon (RWD) is responsible for the exterior while the interior is by Studio Linse. Despite her extra length the interior still accommodates twelve (12) guests in six (6) cabins. Among the major upgrades in the last refit was a spectacular beach club and large pool overlooking the stern. Her top speed is around 16-knots and she has a range in the region of 6,000 nautical miles at 12-knots.
So if they are hyping the charter income, does the "Loon" charter business and social media go with it? Name reserved? How much value does that add the the sale price?
It’s always said that charter income just partially offsets running expenses but some of the programs surely must operate at a profit (when excluding depreciation). I believe this was Lady Britt for example and maybe here.
Looks like "Loon" has a new rotational captain since the high-profile incident. Captain Michael James, is the new Loon rotational captain. This is now probably his largest yacht to command now after previously helming yachts like the Benetti superyacht "Moca" and the Feadship "HALO".
Following a hearing on 2 April, the courts have now granted Loon sous chef Natalie Rohrs the right to join the negligence complaint filed against the superyacht's former captain, Paul Clarke, following the Reel Wild tender crash in St Barths in December 2024. Rohrs now joins Plaintiffs Natalia Niznik, Klara Holubova and Austin Scaccianoce in the case against Clarke, which saw the original complaint pursuing damages in excess of $100,000. (BI)
