Description
LOON is a 221’ Icon Motoryacht with 6 decks and 7 staterooms and is considered the most famous and marketed charter yacht in the world.
Combining comfort and luxury, Studio Linse (Interior Designer) created the interior with a minimalistic and refined elegance. The subtle colors and elegant furnishings create a serene atmosphere for relaxed ocean living. While Redman Whiteley Dixon Design (Exterior Designer) perfected a true design masterpiece with incredible exterior comfort.
A few outstanding features are her main deck master with a private staircase up to her 180-degree view private lounge and/or office with a private exterior sunning area (this lounge and/or office could one day be easily transformed into a separate VIP stateroom similar to her sistership allowing for an 8-stateroom configuration).
In 2014 the Icon factory extended her hull by 16.40’ (5m) allowing for the largest beach club ever seen on a vessel of this size; one of the coolest features only found on Icons is the private hallway between the beach club and the lower guest accommodations. In addition, this extension made for an aft deck playground including a 24.60’ x 11.48’ (7.5m x 3.5m) saltwater or freshwater pool surrounded by sunbeds. There is also an additional exterior sofa and dining area forward of the pool.
Forward of the Owner’s lounge and/or office is a large tender garage, which is one of the largest garages on similar size vessels! LOON’s garage fits 3 tenders, 3 jet skis and several toys. The garage’s location and size were incredibly thought out because it keeps the tenders off the decks, keeps them weather-protected, and allows for the massive beach club where a tender garage is usually located; this also allows for easier toy removal while stern in, and allows for guests’ immediate access to the water without waiting for the typical aft garage set up.
LOON’s spacious interior can accommodate up to 13 guests in 7 staterooms. The Owner’s master stateroom spans over two decks. There are 2 additional guest staterooms on the skylounge deck which is forward of the skylounge. On the starboard side there is a spacious VIP guest stateroom with a queen-size bed, and forward to the port is a smaller stateroom with a single berth, perfect for a child or nanny. There are 4 comparable sized staterooms on the lower deck, all with queen berths, 2 of these berths can easily convert to singles.
LOON was built for long-range cruising and boasts a range of 6,000 nautical miles at 12.5 knots. She is equipped with zero speed stabilization both at anchor and underway to ensure a comfortable voyage in all weather conditions.

JIM MCCONVILLE
Merle Wood & Associates is excited to introduce the newest addition to our team, Jim McConville, a distinguished veteran with an impressive 38-year career in the yachting industry. His wealth of expertise and experience places him among the elite brokers
worldwide.
Jim McConville’s journey in the yachting world began in a small Midwestern town near Chicago, where he developed a deep-rooted passion for boating during his summers. After completing his college education, Jim embarked on a new chapter in South Florida, laying the foundation for a remarkably successful career in the yachting industry. His initial foray involved selling offshore race boats back in 1985. However, Jim’s dedication to serving his clients led him to transition seamlessly into yacht sales as many of his customers sought larger vessels.
In 1988, Jim joined Allied Marine, consistently earning the title of brokerage “Salesman of the Year” for most of his tenure
with Allied. His commitment to client satisfaction and exceptional sales achievements remained unwavering at Allied.
Subsequently, from 2000 to 2008, Jim lent his expertise to IYC, where he continued to shine as the “Salesman of the Year.”
His journey came full circle as he returned to Allied Marine from 2008 to 2023.
Jim’s illustrious career is punctuated by several remarkable achievements. Jim sold the three largest yachts sold by Allied
Marine in its 74-year history, with the largest vessel measuring an impressive 221 feet and the most expensive
commanding a price exceeding $50 million. Moreover, Jim has sold 55 yachts over 100 feet in length.
Jim McConville’s unparalleled knowledge of the yachting industry, market values, unwavering honesty, customer loyalty,
post-sale follow-up, and a genuine love for the industry consistently inspires his clients to return for repeat transactions.
One of his clients has engaged Jim in over 15 boat transactions in the past 38 years, exceeding $100 million in sales.
Remarkably, in the past three years, 85% of Jim’s sales have come from repeat clients and referrals.
Jim stands as one of the few brokers globally who has achieved yacht sales exceeding $800 million, including an
astounding $163 million in 2023 alone. His exceptional negotiation skills, deep understanding of boats, market values,
yacht systems, commitment to quality construction, extensive marketing of his listings, and unparalleled ability to uncover
the best values for his clients truly set him apart.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Jim’s personal experiences on the water have been nothing short of extraordinary.
He has enjoyed yachting in various picturesque destinations, including the Bahamas, the Caribbean, the entire eastern
coastline from Key West to Maine, and the Mediterranean. Jim, together with his son, calls Fort Lauderdale home, where
they share the joy of boating aboard their 37’ Boston Whaler. Notably, Jim has also owned a 75’ Hatteras, which served as his
personal yacht, granting him an invaluable perspective on yacht ownership few brokers can match.
Jim McConville’s dedication to his clients and his unparalleled yacht industry expertise make him a valuable addition to the
Merle Wood & Associates team. We are excited to welcome him aboard and look forward to the exceptional contributions
he will bring to our esteemed clientele.
