Okay, so I got curious the other day about who actually owns that big boat, the Loon yacht. You see pictures of it, people talk about chartering it, but finding the name behind it? That’s where things get tricky. Here’s how I went about trying to dig that up.
My First Steps
First thing I did, naturally, was just hit up my usual search engine. Typed in stuff like “who owns Loon yacht”, “Loon yacht owner”, “owner of motor yacht Loon”. Pretty standard stuff.
Got a bunch of results back, mostly charter company listings. You know, sites telling you how you can rent it out for a week or whatever, talking about its features, the crew, where it sails. Lots of pictures, specs, all that jazz. Found out it’s a pretty popular charter yacht, seems like it’s always busy.
Digging a Bit Deeper
So, the charter sites didn’t really give me a name. They sometimes mention the management company, but not the actual person footing the bill. That’s common, helps keep things private for the owners.
My next thought was to check out some yachting news sites and forums. These places sometimes have enthusiasts or reporters who track this stuff. Searched around places dedicated to superyachts. Found plenty of discussion about Loon, people spotting it in different places, talking about its refits, but again, nailing down the specific owner was tough.
- Checked vessel tracking sites – shows where it is, but not who owns it.
- Looked through yachting news archives – saw mentions of its sales history, but often buyers are hidden behind companies.
- Scanned forums for gossip or solid leads – mostly just speculation or outdated info.
Hitting the Privacy Wall
What you find, and what I found again this time, is that these massive yachts aren’t usually registered under an individual’s name. It’s almost always a company, often registered in places like the Cayman Islands or Marshall Islands. Makes perfect sense for privacy and liability, but it sure makes it hard for nosy folks like me to find out!
Basically, the trail went cold pretty fast. It’s clear the yacht is actively used, especially for high-end charters. The management and charter companies keep it running. But the ultimate beneficial owner? They’ve set things up specifically so that information isn’t easy public knowledge.
So, after poking around for a while, looking through charter listings, news snippets, and forum chatter, I didn’t get a concrete name. It seems the owner prefers to stay private, which is their right, of course. It just means my little investigation ended with the yacht itself and its charter operation, not the person behind the curtain. That’s often how it goes with these things.
