When superyachts behave like superheroes they get written about, and that’s why the Loon superyacht, the $75 million maritime marvel of American billionaire Craig Leipold, is taking up space here. Yes, the 221-footer crafted by the esteemed Dutch shipyard Icon Yachts rescued two other boats this year, but it is not this heroism we are talking about.
Stars of the modern world are now judged by social media following, and Loon’s Instagram account boasts 145,000 followers and a YouTube channel with 122,000 subscribers who cannot get enough of this luxury vessel’s incredible experience. It is safe to say Loon is hugely popular for charter in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Bahamas, and those with bitcoins are in luck.
By becoming the first superyacht to accept charter fees in cryptocurrency, Loon opened its doors to a younger yachting clientele. At the current rate, a young billionaire needs to shell out a mere 10 bitcoins for one outstanding and thrilling week for a fun-filled summer with their loved ones in the Mediterranean.
The number of people opting for bitcoins and superyachts is rapidly increasing. According to a survey, there are 88,200 crypto millionaires around the world, which means this payment gateway indeed makes sense. Whatever your preferred method of payment, the crux remains that Loon luxury yacht resonates with the youth, sea-farers, and water babies all wrapped in a blanket of luxury and topped with the most fantastic crew.
The fact that its Head Chef Dean, the wizard behind the gourmet meals and seamless round-the-clock service, packs the boat with provisions worth a colossal $100,000 only makes one look forward to the trip. The boat is captained by Paul Clarke, who is a pro kite surfer and offers the most enticing daily itineraries with a Michelin-level menu.
Let’s take the 8-day trip to Croatia for instance that takes guests from the beautiful beaches of Zlatni Rat to Vis, the location for the movie Mama Mia Here We Go Again. Loon explores the small island of Solta, located near Split and one of the most popular tourist destinations on the Adriatic. Captain Clarke makes every destination unforgettable by combining it with activities: scrumptious dinner onboard Loon, visiting spectacular waterfalls, or using Loon’s Scuba equipment and experiencing the stunning underwater ecosystem.
Paying for unmatched luxury in exotic locations with only 10 bitcoins to experience opulent accommodations, an extensive toy box, or training with an onboard dive master, professional surfer, and pro kiteboarder seems like a great deal. For those who do not own bitcoins, Loon Yacht can be chartered for $650,000 a week during summers.
Note – At the time of writing this article, the price of Bitcoin on exchanges was around $64,200.
