Being a stew on a superyacht is not for the faint of heart. Some stews just can’t handle the pressure. This list celebrates some of the biggest nightmares on Below Deck on the interior team. Whether it's because they were not able to do their job or because they just caused immense chaos below deck, these stews are remembered for all the wrong reasons.

Below Deck is the hit Bravo juggernaut that follows the lives of yachties living and working on some of the world's most luxurious superyachts. Showcasing the drama, hookups, and pressure of setting sail on the beautiful seas around the globe, Below Deck has proudly launched four spin-off series. Like any good reality show, disaster casting is sometimes just so juicy you can't look away.

10 Sierra Storm

'below deck', season 4.

Sierra Storm truly meant while during her time on the fourth season of Below Deck . The problem for her was her fellow crew just didn't like her. Perhaps unfairly so. Additionally, Sierra engages in a romantic entanglement with deckhand Kyle Dixon , which caused tension on board. When it came to the job at hand, Sierra couldn't handle the demands of the charter guests.

Sierra gets a bad rap as well as she was compared to the much superior work prowess of 2nd Stew , Emily Warburton-Adams . Maybe if Sierra was brought in with a different dynamic, her time on Below Deck would have resulted in a net positive.

Watch On Peacock

9 Jennifer Howell

'below deck', season 5.

She was just a mother who wanted to provide for her child. Jennifer Howell was a single mom who worked two jobs: stew and reality star. The latter she was much more proficient at. A good working interior team truly relies on the dynamics of the individuals that make up the team. Jennifer Howell, unfortunately, had a personality clash with Chief Stew Kate Chastain . They just did not see eye-to-eye, and it showed.

Jennifer had quite the polarizing presence during her time on Season 5. With the pool tainted against her, many other crew members were at odds with her. Sadly, Jennifer's work was not up to par, and Chastain would make comments at her expense. Howell had an engaging story to tell as a mother longing to provide a better life for her daughter, but being aboard megayacht Valor was a bit of a struggle.

8 Laura Betancourt

'below deck', season 6.

Laura Betancourt came into the season to save the day following Caroline Bedol 's quitting. Unfortunately for Betancourt, she came in hot, thinking she was better than her 3rd Stew position. She constantly undermined the rest of her team, trying to prove that she should be the one in charge.

By questioning Chief Stew Kate Chastain 's authority, she was already at odds. But she didn't improve her placement on the crew when she engaged in a boatmance with deckhand Ashton Pienaar . Laura was good at her job, she just didn't always have the best attitude. Sadly, that's the reputation she left with.

7 Magda Ziomek

'below deck down under', season 1.

Long-distance relationships are hard. Especially when you're virtually cut off from the world. Below Deck Down Under third stew Magda Ziomek missed her boyfriend so much that she got fired for it. Magda spent the season arguing on the phone with her boyfriend, to the point where she overused the data on the boat.

After Chief Stew Aesha Scott found Magda napping, it was finally time to cut the chord and fire Magda.

With a distraction preventing her from excelling at her job, even Captain Jason Chambers was infuriated by her work ethic. She also got friendly with enemy number one, Chef Ryan McKeown . After Chief Stew Aesha Scott found Magda napping, it was finally time to cut the chord and fire Magda. She showed potential, but without her willingness to do the job she was hired for at the best of her abilities, she had to go.

6 Laura Bileskaline

'below deck down under', season 2.

Sexual assault and sexual harassment are not OK in any workplace, even if hookups are commonplace onboard. Laura Bileskaline was all play and little work. She wanted to spend her time on motoryacht Northern Sun with the boys. As an employee during Season 2 of Below Deck Down Under , Laura was just selfish. She was constantly at odds, testing Chief Stew Aesha Scott .

When the charter guests left and the yachties went to play, Laura decided it was time to hookup with her crush, Boson Luke Jones , who was crushing on 3rd stew Margot Sisson . Due to a very unfortunate event, Luke was fired for sexually harassing Margot. And yet, Laura took his side, feigning any sympathy for her coworker's experience. It was also revealed that she was allegedly inappropriate with deckhand Adam Kodra when Luke denied her advances. It was a messy situation for everyone involved, but Captain Jason Chambers handled the situation exceptionally well .

5 Caroline Bedol

The yachting industry is not for the faint of heart. Caroline Bedol learned that the hard way. Throughout her time on Below Deck , she found herself having setback after setback. Caroline was another one who had a personality clash with Chief Stew Kate Chastain . When Caroline had some work-related injuries, she gained no sympathy from Kate, causing them to continue to be at odds.

Caroline simply couldn't handle the pressure and gave her two-day notice to Captain Lee Rosbach . But two days of the alleged torment onboard was just too much. So she cut it short. Caroline dramatically quit. She gave her notice and then just decided it was time to bounce. On her way out, she was famously taunted by Chief Stew Kate Chastain and 2nd Stew Josiah Carter , who celebrated by turning up the music to full blast under her door.

4 Natalya Scudder

'below deck mediterranean', seasons 7 and 8.

Before we begin, Natalya Scudder should be praised as an exceptional stew who was brilliant at her job. Perhaps a little too brilliant. The biggest drawback for Natalya was her facade. She was not as sweet and innocent as everyone thought she was. She was a master manipulator and was eager to tear anyone down in order to get ahead. During her first season, Natalya was part of the dream team with Chief Stew Tasha Webb and co-second stew Kyle Viljeon . But as the charter season went on, Natalya's closeness with both her coworkers would be something that would linger on when she stepped in to save the day at the start of Season 8.

Due to some quarantining issues that left Chief Stew Tumi Mhlongo and her bestie Kyle Viljeon out of the first charter, Captain Sandy Yawn tapped Natalya to be the temporary Chief Stew. The power certainly went to her head and when she was dropped down to 3rd Stew when the team officially assembled, she undermined Tumi's direction while creating a massive rivalry with Kyle. The brutal shift in personal and work dynamics caused the lowkey villain to resign.

3 Camille Lamb

'below deck', season 10.

Sometimes, having a resume that exclaims you are well versed in various positions on a yacht, you might be brought on to be the versatile hire. Camille Lamb was hired as a deck/stew, a position that Below Deck usually doesn't show. Camille wanted to be out in the sun and work with the exterior team, but she was needed much more in the interior. And she showed just how annoyed she was having to work with fellow stew Alissa Humber .

Since Alissa had stronger bonds with Chief Stew Fraser Olender and Chef Rachel Hargrove , she often found no one taking her side. So she complained. Who did she complain to? Her new boatmance, Ben Willoughby . Between her combative attitude and drinking on the job, Fraser had enough. In the end, Camille was fired, but she was still a major presence during the season. She kept in close contact with Ben throughout the season and made a surprise return when she learned that her rival, Alissa, was fired later that season.

2 Lexi Wilson

'below deck mediterranean', season 6.

Below Deck is a show that blends reality with reality television. Some yachties are there to do their job and know they just so happen to have cameras following their every move. Others, well, they are just ripe for television. Such was the case for Below Deck Mediterranean 's Lexi Wilson . When Lexi first arrived during Season 6, she shared her personal story with viewers and her new coworker Courtney Veale .

As Courtney was dealing with her father having Alzheimer's, Lexi revealed she had lost her father three months prior to joining the crew of Lady Michelle. Lexi was a very opinionated person, and after a crew night out, a dark side of Lexi was revealed. She became quite mouthy with Chief Stew Katie Flood and Boson Malia White . She then got into a physical altercation with deckhand Mzi Dempers . After getting in a huge fight with Chef Matthew Shea , she was finally dismissed from her position. The crew was thrilled to see her go as Lexi solidified herself as a villain in the world of Below Deck .

1 Rocky Dakota

'below deck', season 3.

Raquel "Rocky" Dakota is a legend in the history of Below Deck . As one of the most colorful characters the show has ever known, there has never been anyone like Rocky. While it seems like a trend if you work under Chief Stew Kate Chastain , her interior team always has a punching bag. That person was Rocky. But some fans would claim that Rocky did that to herself. To start the season off, she created a very close bond with the super sweet deckhand Emile Kotze . He fell for her but she friendzoned him.

That didn't sit well with many of her coworkers, especially when she was engaged in a secret boatmance with Boson Eddie Lucas , who had a girlfriend back home. On top of all that, Rocky had a close bond with the controversial Chef Leon Walker . When he was fired, she lashed out at Kate for his dismissal, and she even tried to get herself fired by jumping off the boat and venturing to another yacht nearby. Already being down some crewmembers, they had to keep her around. Rocky had a big personality. Many onboard found it off-putting. Rocky made for excellent television, but perhaps not the best coworker. And if she ever serves you oysters, just ask if there's any grenadine on top.

KEEP READING: An Update on Season 3 of 'Below Deck Down Under'

What Are the Below Deck Season 1 Cast Doing Now?

By Amy DeVore

Below Deck  first set sail on Bravo in July 2013. It was a hit, and this series quickly blew up, with spin-offs emerging left and right. Or should I say port side and starboard? All yoke lines aside, inaugural seasons typically carry steep learning curves, but wildly, this first group of stars (mostly) handled their sh*t with ease. Let’s now do a roll call and check in on these series-introducing yachties.

Captain Lee Rosbach set sail on Oxygen

Captain Lee Rosbach , AKA the Stud of the Seas, kicked this entire franchise off. Therefore, I will always toss some respect on his name. He led from Below Deck’s wheelhouse until the end of Season 10, and then Bravo pulled his plug, replacing him with Captain Kerry Titheradge from Below Deck Adventure . Thankfully, this sassy Captain found his new home shortly after.

Reality television and true crime series are excellent forms of escapism. I am not alone in my avoidance pursuits, as Oxygen created an entire series with these two things in mind, and they brought Bravo’s first-ever Captain along for the ride. Cue Deadly Waters with Captain Lee , a series that sails through more sinister ports of call than BD. Each episode sees Captain Lee walking through various true crime stories, each taking place over a different body of water.

If you miss this witty wheelhouse wonder, head over to Oxygen and catch up with Captain Lee and his factually deceased seafarers (not his formerly figuratively dead-to-him hires) now.

Aleks Taldykin moved on to Vanderpump Rules, the sales side of yachting, and fatherhood

Fun fact. Aleks Taldykin was originally in the mix for the Captain’s role on Below Deck. After the network handed this gig over to Captain Lee, Aleks got cast in an equally important role, walking on board as the first First Officer for this series. Sadly, he only lasted one season.

When one door closes, another one opens, literally, for Aleks. In Season 4 of Vanderpump Rules , Stassi Schroeder opened Kristen Doute’s door, and there stood Aleks. He and Kristen had a small fling in 2016, three years after his stint on Below Deck. It didn’t work out, but it was nice to see Kristen putting herself out there again following her breakup with James Kennedy .

These days, Aleks is still in the yachting industry, although he now works primarily on land. Before he joined BD, Aleks started Elite Yacht Management in Southern California, so he already had a gig to return home to post filming. In 2019, he added another job to his resume via Denison Yachting, selling large motor yachts to everyone but me. As for his personal life, Aleks became a father earlier this year, so we can now consider his life officially busy.

Adrienne Gang made a brief cameo in Season 2 and then returned to her culinary roots

Adrienne Gang is the first Chief Stew in the Below Deck franchise. Her tough-as-nails work ethic didn’t always find her fellow yachties well, so she only lasted one season on Bravo. Much to the non-delight of her Season 1 stew, Kat Held , Adrienne made a brief cameo in Season 2. The charter guests were her friends, so she joined them on a land-based excursion while Kat (mostly) reigned her emotions in.

Following this cameo, Adrienne secured herself an impressive gig, working as the culinary director of Blue Oceans Yachting. She was a chef before Below Deck, so this makes sense. Additionally, Adrienne works as a private chef, with a few speaking gigs on the side.

Adrienne has also taken a few leaps post-filming that have failed to stick. In 2018, she got married. In 2021, she started a podcast called Gangplank Report. Unfortunately, her marriage ended sometime between 2023 and 2024, joining her equally defunct podcast around that same timeframe.

Good on you for trying new things post-filming for Season 1 of Below Deck, Adrienne.

Kat Held found other bars and gemstones

Kat worked as a stew in Season 1. Her carefree personality and love of a good time saw her returning for Season 2. However, these two seasons would be her only ones on Bravo. That said, she did return to film a BD 100th-episode special on Watch What Happens Live in 2020.

Best known for her drunken “I wanna go to the bar” cries, Kat has since exited the yachting industry. She has tried her hand as a waitress and a bartender, but these gigs must have grown old, as Kat is now all about that gem life. In 2022, Kate created a new Instagram account. Her latest venture is under the handle of @thelapidaryshop , where Kat describes herself as an “Archeology & Gemology Enthusiast.”

Kat is now a “Collector, seller, and buyer of gemstones, crystals, rocks, minerals, fossils, and jewelry.” Rock on, Kat.

Samantha Orme is an Engineer and a mother

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Samantha Ulmer (@samiorme)

Samantha Orme was a fan-favorite stew in Season 1, but she made the call not to return to filming in Season 2. She wanted a different life and a different life she now has. Work-wise, Sam stepped off the pier and entered into a Vice President of Engineering role at a solar energy firm. Now, she is the Enterprise Program Manager at Fidelity National Information Services, according to her LinkedIn .

Her bossiest coworkers, however, are likely her husband Brad, a Coast Guard helicopter pilot, and their two little girls, Blake and Molly. I have a Molly as well. Sam and I also share our current locations, which I will only describe as a beachy, sleepy little pocket just North of Tampa, bordering the Gulf of Mexico. Call me, Sam.

Eddie Lucas is now a tugboat captain

Eddie Lucas stole the show in Below Deck Season 1, so the network brought him back for Seasons 2, 3, 8, and 9. That said, the chances of seeing Eddie again on our screens are slim, as after filming on Season 9, Eddie trash-talked Bravo for their abysmal Below Deck paychecks . I can’t blame the guy for this, because have you seen the price of snacks these days?!

Eddie has since pivoted away from the superyacht industry, yet he’s still working on boats because “Eduardo loves the ladies ” water. His current boats, however, are Tugboats, and he’s now a captain. This title took him several years to secure, but Eddie never gave up, and I am sure this made his boat Daddy (Captain Lee) proud. Eddie recently even purchased a home in Baltimore, so it’s safe to say that he has fully settled into his next chapter of life post-filming.

David Bradberry is an actor and a writer

David Bradberry was a precious, innocent deckhand. He engaged in little-to-no conflict throughout his entire first season, and everyone from the cast to the viewers loved watching his various unproblematic scenes. He even got engaged to his then-boyfriend during the show, but sadly, in 2019, this romance fizzled out. David also returned to Below Deck at the tail end of Season 3, rounding out a shortly-staffed crew.

Since leaving Below Deck, David traded in his epaulets and started perfecting his stage face. He is now living the dream, working as an actor and a writer in our nation’s capital. His IMDb page credits a few of his new roles, including “The Last Straight Man” (2014) and “Confessions” (2015). All the world’s a stage, and David is a solid player.

C.J. LeBeau owns a home improvement company

CJ LeBeau and Sam were tight in Season 1, but unlike Sam, CJ only lasted for nine episodes of Below Deck’s inaugural season. After taking a boozy swim with Sam during a charter, Captain Lee, who was already weary of the guy, talked him into leaving. He joined another boat at the marina, and following this, he stayed away from the limelight.

Minus an arrest for Domestic Violence, which we hope taught him many things, CJ returned to the world of construction, which he first started gaining experience in at the ripe old age of 12. Now, he owns his own company, Done Today by CJ. According to his website , he does everything from property repairs to plumbing, ever the well-rounded tradesman. Keep making good choices, deckie alum.

Chef Ben Robinson is still in the galley, just not on Below Deck, for now

Chef Ben Robinson has my heart for life. After charming everyone with his quick wit in BD Season 1, Bravo brought him back multiple times, including a few stints on Below Deck Mediterranean . This man can cook, clap back, and call out his fellow yachties like a true king. He is made for this realm.

According to his website , Ben now “runs a successful catering business.” This sees him traveling “all over the world creating culinary masterpieces. He is available for private events, private instruction, and guest appearances.” His website also links to his purchasable wares and tools, all sold to help inspire the inner chefs in us all.

On that note, It’s time for me to run along and burn tonight’s dinner. Chef Ben, send help. Also, send yourself back to Below Deck.

Below Deck yacht names revealed - and how much it costs to rent the celebrity superyachts

Since 2013, Below Deck has been captivating TV audiences across the globe by offering a voyeuristic peek into life on board multi-million dollar luxury charter yachts . Taking readers behind the scenes, YachtCharterFleet identifies the yachts featured on the show, as well as those which have appeared on the celebrated spin-off series Below Deck: Mediterranean , Below Deck: Sailing , Below Deck: Down Under and the latest iteration, Below Deck: Adventure .

Bravo’s hit reality TV series Below Deck chronicles the lives of crew members who work and reside aboard a luxury yacht during the charter season.

Each season features a different crew configuration, and the episodes show how the crew members interact and deal with personal issues alongside their working lives. The seasons are filmed over six weeks, with every episode featuring a new group of charter guests.

Getting even closer to these Below Deck superstars, we take a look at each of the stand-out features of every yacht that has appeared on the show.

Below Deck (US)

Many crew members are recurring on the show;  the longest-standing is Captain Lee Rosbach, who been on the show since 2013. A fan favourite, he has been at the helm of every yacht on Below Deck and seen a number of different crew formations.

The latest Below Deck season 10 is rumoured to be his final swan song, although his legacy on the show is such that whoever replaces him will have very big shoes to fill.

Among the crew members, Chief Stewardess Kate Chastain was an integral member of the team from season two to season seven. Alongside her, Chef Ben Robinson was a permanent fixture of the crew from season one to season four, before stepping out for season five.

Throughout the course of the show, the yachts have played an important role. 

Hiring a Below Deck yacht will cost from €140,000 per week - and that price doesn't include expenses such as fuel. While some of the yachts were given an alias over the course of filming, their real names can now be revealed below; as well as the exact cost to rent them. 

The largest yacht in the show's history, the 10th and 11th seasons of Below Deck  are set around the Caribbean islands of St Lucia  and Grenada onboard the luxurious 60m (197ft) superyacht ST DAVID . Delivered in 2008 by Italian shipyard Benetti, the yacht has an impressive sleek, supercar-inspired profile that instantly turns heads. 

Onboard highlights include her well-appointed sundeck with sunloungers and sunpads where guests can kick back and relax, a spa pool and her al fresco cinema screen set up for unforgettable movie nights.

One of the yacht's most distinctive features is her sophisticated spiral staircase that leads through all three decks and is lit by a skylight in the spa pool of the sun deck. The yacht is very versatile for a variety of charter party configurations, with room for 12 guests across six elegantly appointed cabins. 

STARSHIP (aka MY SEANNA)

Making an appearance on seasons 9, 8 and 6 of Below Deck , the majestic motor yacht STARSHIP (known on the show as MY SEANNA) is a yacht charter favorite.

The yacht has traveled far and wide for the show cruising to the jaw-droppingly beautiful St Kitts and Nevis in season 9, the sun-kissed Caribbean in season 8 and the  South Pacific  islands of  Tahiti in season 6.

Known for being among one of the most opulent yachts on the charter market due to her ornate interiors and glossy fittings that have been brushed in 22-carat gold, it is safe to say that this yacht is one of the most opulently styled and extensively equipped yachts on the water. Refitted in 2021, the Delta Marine yacht can accommodate 12 guests across 6 cabins and is extremely versatile for a variety of yacht charter party configurations. 

VALOR (aka BG)

Appearing three times on the hit show, the 47m (153ft) charter yacht BG (known on the show as VALOR) featured in seasons 7, 5 and 4 of Below Deck , taking charter guests to a variety of sun-kissed and beautiful locations. The yacht's real name is BG, and she was built in 1990 by the world's most revered shipbuilder Feadship . Since then, she has undergone many interiors refreshes to keep her in tip-top condition. 

The yacht traveled around Thailand in Season 7  where the crew and viewers were treated to a truly memorable South East Asian experience. From the iconic Phi Phi Islands to the beautiful beaches of Ko Yao Yai, there were plenty of fascinating landmarks to see on the way. Season 5 took viewers to the tranquil cruising grounds of  Saint Martin whilst season 4 saw M/Y BG in the glistening waters of the  Virgin Islands .

Accomodating 12 guests across 6 cabins, she is also capable of carrying up to 10 crew onboard to ensure a relaxed luxury yacht charter experience.

EROS (aka STAY SALTY)

Season 3 of Below Deck was announced after a hugely successful second-season finale, which was the highest-rated episode of the series. The new season saw the crew head to the Bahamas onboard  superyacht STAY SALTY  known on the show as EROS. 

She is equipped with an array of luxurious amenities including an eight-person sundeck Jacuzzi, barbecue and yacht-wide sound system. She also boasts timeless interior styling with intricate wood panelling and a neutral colour palette which helps create an inviting atmosphere for those on board.

The yacht was sold in November 2013 - just before filming for season 3 began - for an asking price of $17.9 million.

OHANA (aka STAR DIAMOND)

Premiering in August 2014, season 2 of Below Deck returned with 13 episodes documenting life on board the slightly smaller superyacht STAR DIAMOND in the British Virgin Islands . Among many other features, the yacht is equipped with a large sundeck, outdoor bar and luxury accommodation for 10 guests.

After filming the series, M/Y STAR DIAMOND was sold for an asking price of $10.9 million and is now on the charter market with a charter rate of $160,000/week. Extensively refit in 2022, the work on the superyacht has included a complete interior refresh, the yacht now features light, modern styling - an engine rebuild and a cabin conversion.

HONOR (aka BARENTS )

The first season of Below Deck premiered on 1 July 2013 after being announced in April 2012. Chartering around the Caribbean , the starring superyacht was named HONOR for the show but chartered under the name CUOR DI LEONE which translates to ‘Lion Heart’ in Italian. She now goes by the name BARENTS . 

Built by Italian shipyard Benetti in 1999 and refit in 2021, the famous vessel has undergone a complete makeover, bringing her up to modern standards. She can accommodate up to 12 charter guests and features luxury amenities for guests to enjoy including state-of-the-art TVs and a sundeck Jacuzzi.

Following the show, superyacht BARENTS was sold for around $15 million and her new owner commissioned a major refit. A great deal of money was spent on updating her interior with a classic-modern style of design as well as on brand-new exterior furniture and entertainment systems.

Below Deck: Mediterranean

Following on from the success of Below Deck , the spin-off  Below Deck: Mediterranean premiered in May 2016. While the original series takes place during the winter charter season when the Caribbean is at its peak, Below Deck: Mediterranean is filmed during the summer charter season.

Season one of Below Deck: Mediterranean saw Captain Mark Howard at the helm, but the baton was passed to Captain Sandy Yawn from two onwards. Chief Stewardess Hannah Ferrier was another permanent fixture on the show from season one to five, before leaving the show in season six.

As its name suggests, the show is based in the Mediterranean , the world’s most popular yachting hub from May to October. Despite the change in location, the same format and accompanying on-water antics from the crew and guests alike can be expected. Below, all the names of the superyachts which have appeared on the show, and the cost to rent them.

Season 8 of Below Deck: Mediterranean was aired in September 2023 and brought back yet more antics that included some tense franchise firsts. Set in the Ligurian Riviera, the hit Bravo series returns to Italy for the first time since season 3. The series followed the crew from mid-August until mid-September of 2022 onboard the 180-feet superyacht MUSTIQUE .

Holding up to 12 guests across 6 classically decorated cabins, this yacht is the epitome of elegance with its glossy mahogany paneling and cream upholstery. She is replete with water toys, including kayaks, a seabob, waterskis, and Zapata Flyboards, and has expansive deck areas– offering plenty of scope for both crew and guest antics which make Below Deck: Mediterranean so entertaining.

Season 7 of Below Deck: Mediterranean returned to the screens in July 2022 and brought back more drama and wealthy clientele, creating endless entertainment for viewers at home. Set in Malta , a destination never seen before on the show, the series followed the crew over an eight-week charter season onboard the 49m (160ft) superyacht HOME .

Accommodating up to 12 guests across 6 beautifully decorated staterooms, this yacht is described as a home away from home, the perfect platform for guests to soak up the sunshine, kick back and relax. From her convivial sundeck setup replete with a Jacuzzi and glowing cocktail bar to her panoramic sky lounge and state-of-the-art water toys, this yacht certainly had the wow factor that was required for Below Deck: Mediterranean .

LADY MICHELLE (renamed NEXT CHAPTER)

Season 6 of Below Deck: Mediterranean premiered in June 2021 and saw a new vessel,  motor yacht LADY MICHELLE , since re-named NEXT CHAPTER, take center stage. It also saw the return of Captain Sandy and Bosun Malia, plus a brand new crew. 

A floating paradise that turns heads on the water, this heavenly Benetti vessel comfortably accommodates 12 guests across 6 sumptuous staterooms, with additional capacity for up to 12 crew members. She also boasts an open-air cinema, a split-level owner's suite and an impressive array of water toys.

This season takes the crew to one of the most idyllic cruising grounds in the East Mediterranean : Croatia . Abounding with serene golden beaches, crystalline waters and gorgeous coves to explore, it's one of the most popular yacht charter destinations.

THE WELLINGTON (aka THE WELLESLEY)

Season 5 of Below Deck: Mediterranean premiered in the summer of 2020. The show was shot on board the motor yacht THE WELLESLEY , and the superyacht was given the alias THE WELLINGTON over the course of filming. 

The yacht has an elegant 1920's theme, with a chic club lounge complete with a bespoke humidor. She features plenty of marble accents and ample alfresco deck areas, as well as a jacuzzi with innovative spill pool features.

The yachties set course for Spain for this season, cruising around the azure waters of the Balearic Islands . The homeport was Port Adriano on the island of Mallorca .

Featuring in both Season 4 and Season 2 of Below Deck: Mediterranean ,  superyacht SIROCCO  is a yacht charter sensation. An elegant and sophisticated Heesen -built motor yacht, she features plenty of alfresco sunning areas and an 8-person jacuzzi pool; the perfect spot for the charter guests to unwind after a long day exploring.

Season 4 took the crew to one of the most iconic destinations in the Mediterranean ; the South of France . Between the luxury yachting hub of Monaco to the beautiful beaches in St Tropez , this season promises lashings of glitz and glamour. During Season 2 of Below Deck: Mediterranean , M/Y SIROCCO cruised the picturesque waters of  Croatia .

TALISMAN MAITON

Premiering in 2018, season 3 of  Below Deck: Mediterranean saw familiar and new faces head to the sublime cruising grounds of Italy. This time, the crew treated their discerning guests to a world of luxury on board the 54m/178ft motor yacht TALISMAN MAITON .

Built in 2006 and refit to an exacting standard in 2016, the yacht boasts a range of exciting features that make her particularly appropriate for the waters of the Amalfi Coast . Indeed, her entertainment options range from a stunning selection of water toys to a sundeck Jacuzzi and a refreshingly modern interior.

IONIAN PRINCESS

Premiering on 3 May 2016, the very first season of Below Deck: Mediterranean , a spin-off of the increasingly popular franchise, took to viewers' screens. This time the ‘yachties’ took care of their guests onboard the motor yacht IONIAN PRINCESS  in the Mediterranean  destination of Greece . 

The starring yacht IONIAN PRINCESS was delivered from Christensen in 2005 and was later refit in 2016 and again in 2021. Truly opulent, she bears interiors that are sleekly finished with a range of warmly toned woods and plenty of comfortable furnishings. She also boasts one of the largest sundecks for a yacht of her size.

Below Deck: Mediterranean Season 1 yacht IONIAN PRINCESS is not currently available for private yacht charter vacations.

Below Deck: Sailing Yacht

This is the first time the Below Deck franchise branched away from gleaming motor yachts, with the various weather issues that sailing yachts have to contend with adding even more drama and excitement.

The design of luxury sailing yachts  also creates far more confined crew areas than we are used to seeing on the original Below Deck . In general, sailing yachts tend to feature smaller galleys, compact stew stations and cramped crew quarters which are in closer proximity to the guests’ living areas, putting crew under increased pressure to deliver their signature silver service.

In addition, deck crew are placed in a far more demanding role, with sailing yachts requiring increased accuracy and precision to safely maneuver and plenty of deck duties taking place in the midst of guest areas.

PARSIFAL III

An iconic and suitable yacht for the much-loved series Below Deck: Sailing , the 54m (177ft) sailing yacht PARSIFAL III has blessed our screens for all four series of the hit maritime show.

Season 1 saw the sailing yacht cruising around the beautiful islands of Greece , an  East Mediterranean destination that is peppered with an incredible variety of islands. Season 2 was set around the glistening waters of Croatia and in  Season 3 of Below Deck Sailing , M/Y PARSIFAL III came back to where she traditionally charters in the beautiful Balearic island of Menorca . For the latest Below Deck: Sailing Yacht season she ventured around the glittering coastline of Sardinia .

The yacht can comfortably charter up to 12 guests across 5 luxurious cabins with a layout comprising a master suite, two double cabins and two twin cabins.

Below Deck: Down Under

Venturing to the mesmerizing Whitsunday islands in Australia , the much-beloved maritime show released another spin-off of the hit show in April 2022, Below Deck: Down Under . Recorded on Queensland's shores, viewers can see for themselves the impeccable Australian islands and all their beauty as the superyachts, their crew and charter guests travel to some of the most sought-after destinations in the world.  

NORTHERN SUN

Below Deck: Down Under  returns to our screens for its second outing, this time on board the 51m (167ft) explorer yacht NORTHERN SUN , with the coastal paradise of Cairns in Australia’s northern Queensland providing the glittering backdrop.

Headed up once more by the handsome Captain Jason Chambers, he is joined by returning chief stewardess, Aesha Scott, along with a brand new crew, including Chef Tzarina Mace-Ralph, Bosun Luke Jones and stews Laura Bileskaine and Margot Sisson.

Promising another round of crew antics and high drama, the bulk of the action takes place on board the classic explorer yacht, primed for adventure and boasting a wealth of luxurious amenities and an eye-catching exterior, charter guests will be in for a treat.

KERI LEE III (AKA THALASSA)

The perfect yacht for season 1 of Below Deck: Down Under , the 55m (181ft) yacht KERI LEE is the prime candidate for anyone looking for a taste of the superyacht lifestyle. Described as being like Downton Abbey on a boat, the yacht is home to an expansive beauty salon, massage room, gym, jacuzzi and movie theater, so there is definitely enough to keep all charter guests entertained.

In the first season of Below Deck: Down Under , this yacht traveled to some pretty spectacular destinations from the Great Barrier Reef , including the Whitsunday's , Hook Island, Block Reef and Henning Island, giving charter guests the opportunity to witness the outstanding beauty and clear waters of the Pacific .

Below Deck: Adventure

Airing its inaugral season at the end of 2022, Below Deck: Adventure brings more drama than ever before as the show takes viewers beyond the deck and off the yacht as thrill-seeking charter guests embark on a range of extreme and unforgettable experiences around the Norwegian Fjords. Some of the activities include paragliding, exploring unique caves and taking extreme helicopter rides, Below Deck: Adventure provides endless entertainment as well as giving viewers a glimpse of the astonishingly beautiful landscapes in and around  Norway . 

In  Below Deck: Adventure season 1, Capt. Kerry Titheradge leads the crew with Jessica Condy as Chef and Faye Clarke as Chief Stew.

As seen in season 1 of Below Deck Adventure , the 49m (164ft) motor yacht MERCURY is a high-quality and highly reliable Dutch-built luxury charter yacht. Delivered by Amels in 2001, the yacht is to the highest standard and pedigree and boasts a wealth of convivial spaces, perfect for relaxing, unwinding and socializing onboard. 

Home to an impressive array of amenities, standout highlights include an expansive Jacuzzi, a large swim platform for easy access to the water and a gym. An advanced stabilization system on board reduces the side-to-side roll of the yacht and promises guests exceptional comfort levels at anchor or when underway.

Here’s What the Cast of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Is Currently Up to Now

Are Jenna and Adam still together?

After the massive success of Below Deck and its spinoff Below Deck Med , Bravo decided to test the waters on a new iteration of its hit series earlier this year. That's where Below Deck: Sailing Yacht came in, taking place on a luxury sailing boat, the Parsifal III, adrift in the Ionian Sea.

From a spontaneous proposal failing spectacularly to a joke about being breastfed as an adult, Sailing Yacht was as much a dramatic success as the other franchises. It also left fans wondering about what's happening to the crew since the show wrapped. Did chief stew Jenna and chef Adam stay together? What's going on with Georgia's music? And most important—is Captain Glenn really as cool as we think he is?

Here's what the cast of Below Deck: Sailing Yacht is up to now:

Jenna MacGillivray

When the Canadian stepped onto the Parsifal III, fans got exactly what they hoped for in a chief stew—a no-nonsense leader who also had a romantic spot in her heart for the chef in the galley. Though her relationship with Adam Glick proved to be tumultuous, the two dated for some time after the season wrapped, even taking some time to road-trip together.

These days, Jenna is enjoying some time off from yachting, but given her recent IG pics, she's excited to come back to another charter season.

Madison Stalker

Wherever Madison went, drama always seemed to follow the second stew during season one of Below Deck: Sailing Yacht . In between epic meltdowns (including a major one between her and Jenna over her lack of enthusiasm for her job), she left the boat a better person and leaving fans ready to see more from their new favorite cast member.

Judging by her Instagram account, she's taken a break from yachting (perhaps until next season of the show).

Georgia Grobler

As good of a third stew Georgia was on deck, fans were more invested in her budding music career and growing feelings for a very taken Paget. She proved she was great at her job and could make a career out of yachting.

While it's unclear whether she stayed in the yachting industry post- Sailing Yacht , Georgia's working on music, premiering new music videos on IGTV during the quarantine.

Below Deck Med fans were so excited when Adam joined the crew as the chef for Sailing Yacht . While he abided by the preference sheets this time around, he also began a rocky romance with chief stew Jenna, making most of the crew members wonder if he was there for his job or the girl.

Since the show wrapped, Adam's busy onshore, cooking, and traveling with his adorable puppy. Oh, and Adam has a web series, Stoked , where he travels across the country to meet with local chefs and learn about their regions... all while over a campfire.

Paget Berry and Ciara Duggan

If there was any couple to root for from the entire Below Deck franchise, it's Paget and Ciara. The duo made a great team on deck, and mostly kept their relationship to a minimum on cameras—a first for Bravo! As they were the most familiar with the Parsifal III, the couple was the most reliable, and fans loved seeing their relationship continue blossoming post-filming.

These days, the couple has a lot to be excited about—they're now engaged. While they're soaking up their romantic bliss, they're also still working in yachting, although it's sadly on separate boats.

Byron Hissey

As the chief engineer of Parsifal III, Byron was clearly there to just do his job. But, given how he was the only cast member to have a wife and child back home, he also became the dad of the group, taking care of the other crew members.

Since filming wrapped, it looks like Byron is back on a boat doing exactly what he does best—fixing and making sure the engines run smoothly.

Parker McCown

Relatively new to the yachting industry, fans are more likely to remember the deckhand for his enraged rant about being breastfed by his mother. While he didn't necessarily have all the skills to make it as a deckhand, he definitely had a soft spot for his ex-girlfriend Kaiti, whom he eventually left Parsifal III to go back to at home.

It looks like the decision to leave the show worked out for Parker, as he's now engaged to Kaiti and writing some tunes while onshore.

Chris Miller

As Parker's replacement for the latter half of the season, Chris proved a great deckhand and an asset to the team, all while battling an injury.

These days, Chris seems to be taking some time off from yachting to travel across Europe.

Captain Glenn Sheppard

Captain Glenn was tough, fair, and not afraid to have a good time, which both crew and guests very much appreciated.

Thankfully, his reality TV experience hasn't turned him off yachting forever. Glenn is still the captain for Parsifal III and traveling through the Mediterranean.

'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Gets a Surprise Guest With 'American Idol' Alum Justin Guarini

Published April 25 2023, 11:02 a.m. ET

Spoiler alert: This article contains spoilers for the April 24 episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht .

Since 2019, Bravo fans with an affinity for yachting and travel have marveled at Below Deck Sailing Yacht , a spinoff of the OG series, Below Deck.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht features Captain Glenn Shepherd at the helm while he leads his team across picturesque locations in the Mediterranean and beyond.

Over the years, viewers have watched many famous faces appear as charter guests across the Below Deck franchises — from Jemele Hill to Cynthia Bailey .

This time around, the Below Deck Sailing Yacht crew is spending a few days with American Idol royalty, Justin Guarini .

Here’s the 4-1-1 on Justin Guarini’s visit.

Justin Guarini visited the 'Parsifal III' charter for a vacation in Corsica on 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht.'

On the April 24 episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , Captain Glenn reveals that Justin Guarini will be the crew's next charter guest.

During the crew’s preference sheet meeting, Captain Glenn shares that Justin is a “longtime friend” of primary guest Kim.

During Justin’s time on the Parsifal III charter for a vacation in Corsica, the star gushes about Chef Ileisha Dell’s cooking, saying that it’s “out of this world.” Additionally, Justin experiences a minor hiccup after spilling a drink on the staircase.

Kim requests for the crew to eat dinner with guests, which is a first. Chief engineer Colin MacRae reveals that through his 10-plus-year in the yachting industry, he’s never had dinner with guests.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Reality Guys (@therealityguyss)

"I don't know if you guys realize this or not, but this is absolutely not normal," Colin says during the dinner. "This will be my 14th or 15th year on a superyacht, and in all of that time I've never been invited to eat with the guests. So, thank you guys for just treating us with so much respect."

Captain Glenn also shares that Kim’s request is something “he’s never done before,” but had no problems obliging the request since Chef Ileisha was on board with making a family-style meal.

Justin Guarini is ‘American Idol’s' Season 1 runner-up.

Fox’s hit competition show American Idol has birthed tons of stars over the years — from Fantasia Barrino to Chris Daughtry. And while the show continues to see success, Justin Guarini is one of the first male singers to gain fame from the competition.

Justin Guarini competed during the first season of American Idol back in 2002 . Unfortunately for Justin's fans, viewers saw Kelly Clarkson win the competition, with Justin leaving the show as runner-up.

Justin and Kelly on the 'Today' show in September 2002

American Idol's exposure has done wonders for Justin’s career. Aside from Justin appearing in a slew of commercials for brands, he has crossed over into the acting world via multiple TV series, Broadway shows, and films.

It’s nice to see Justin thriving in his career and letting loose on vacation.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.

Who is Below Deck Sailing Yacht charter guest Erica Rose and what is her connection to The Bachelor?

If Below Deck Sailing Yacht charter guest Erica Rose looks familiar, that’s because she has a connection to The Bachelor.

Yes, Erica is no stranger to reality television. However, she has been off-screen for a while, focusing on growing her family and building her career.

Erica Rose was on The Bachelor

Erica was a contestant on Season 9 of The Bachelor, featuring Prince Lorenzo Borghese. The season was filmed in Rome, Italy. She made it to the top 10 but was eliminated in week three of the ABC reality TV show.

Bachelor Nation fans will remember that Erica also appeared on Bachelor in Paradise during Season 2 and Season 3.

After three stints in the Bachelor Nation universe, Erica went on to be part of the VH1 show You’re Cut Off! Erica also appeared alongside her mom Cindy Rose, on Married to Medicine Houston.

These days Erica is a happily married lawyer. Erica married her husband Charles Sanders in 2017 once she got her entertainment law degree. Charles is a lawyer, too, and the couple are partners in Rose Sanders Law Firm PLLC in Texas.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Erica Rose ? Sanders (@ericatherose)

Erica has two daughters. Holland Gentry from a previous relationship and Aspen Sanders with her husband, Charles. The proud mama often features her little girls on social media.

What can fans expect from Erica’s Below Deck Sailing Yacht stint?

The Bachelor alum makes her Below Deck Sailing Yacht debut this week along with several of her girlfriends. No, Erica didn’t bring her husband or daughters on the Bravo show.

Although Erica has only promoted her stint on Below Deck Sailing Yacht, fans know drama is brewing. Jess Bryant Cimato, co-primary with Erica, overhears first-mate Gary King and chief engineer Colin Macrae talking s**t about the charter guests.

After giving Colin and Gary an earful, Jess lets Daisy Kelliher know she doesn’t appreciate crew members bad-mouthing the ladies. The guests literally just got on board before the drama begins.

Erica recently shared a photo of herself with the rest of the guests and chef Natasha, so the trip didn’t go too bad. Well, at least for Natasha, it didn’t go too bad.

There is one question fans are left asking about Erica Rose and her group of friends on Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

Will they be more demanding than Barrie Drewitt-Barlow and his family?

Only time will tell.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo.

5 things to know about Below Deck charter guest Erica Rose

Below Deck guests are notorious for their demanding lists, but Erica Rose and her party took it to a new level in the latest episode, pushing the crew to their limits. Erica is a familiar face on reality television, particularly on the Below Deck yacht. Known for being one of the most demanding and low-tipping guests to ever board the ship, the crew wasn't thrilled to see her return to their quarters.

In season 2 of the sailing show, Erica, her mom Cindy, and a group of friends embarked on Parsifal III. They proved to be a demanding and high-maintenance bunch. Erica didn't hesitate to repeatedly voice her complaints to Captain Glenn Shephard about the crew's performance. Additionally, the group was in constant internal conflicts, adding a touch of irony to their women's empowerment night.

Despite her previous boisterous behavior during her initial yacht charter, Erica made a return for a second trip, stirring up just as much drama. This has left fans of the show questioning the identity of Erica and how she found herself in a position to rent a luxury yacht not once but twice.

5 things you need to know about Erica Rose

1. erica's early life.

Erica, a Texas native , lives in Houston with her husband, raising their children. Despite her love for travel, she shows no inclination to leave Texas, indicating a strong connection to her hometown.

After attending Emory College, Erica Rose graduated with a dual major in English and Creative Writing and a minor in Theater. Despite her academic background, she chose a career in law rather than pursuing writing or acting.

Following her time at The University of Houston Law Center, Erica excelled as a young lawyer, earning numerous honors and accolades. Eventually, she established her own law firm.

2. Erica's career and excellence

Beyond her reality TV fame, Erica Rose has a thriving career off-camera . Serving as a partner in her law firm alongside her husband, she actively shares legal advice on social media. She has also provided insights on high-profile cases like Amber Heard and Johnny Depp's defamation trial.

Erica gained fame on The Bachelor , entering with a bejeweled tiara for Prince Lorenzo. However, she was eliminated after three weeks. The lawyer later appeared on VH1's You're Cut Off! She became a standout charter guest on Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

Erica takes pride in her professional growth, transcending her initial recognition from The Bachelor 's tiara-wearing contestant.

3. Erica's family and her bond with them

Erica Rose, a mother to daughters Aspen and Holland, prioritizes their well-being. Despite her TV appearances, she shields them from negativity, managing their Instagram accounts to curate a positive online presence while focusing on providing a memorable childhood.

While fans critique aspects of Below Deck , Erica Rose's husband, Charles, stirred real drama on the show, complaining about breakfast and other ship issues. An attorney like his wife, Charles, faced backlash on social media for his behavior during the charter. He shares his legal expertise on car accidents on Instagram, showcasing his Rolex collection and selfies.

Cindy, Erica's mom, played a pivotal role in their memorable charter on Below Deck . Her demanding nature and food preferences sparked intrigue among fans. Beyond the show, Cindy is a successful silhouette artist with a history of working in Disneyland. She channels the proceeds from her art to support women affected by breast cancer.

4. Erica's body-positive stance

Erica Rose is candid about her cosmetic procedures, sharing on social media that she has undergone veneers, Botox, filler injections, and regular facials for skincare maintenance. Erica embraces transparency, unlike some reality stars who keep their plastic surgery discreet.

Taking a body-positive stance, she aims to normalize the choice of getting work done for those seeking enhancements that contribute to their confidence and well-being.

5. Erica's reaction to the drama from Below Deck

Despite apologizing for the low tip and her husband's actions on Below Deck , Erica has expressed her weariness with the backlash on her Instagram account. However, she and Charles continue engaging with and sharing reactions to the show and viewer posts, indicating they are still capitalizing on the publicity.

Final thoughts

Joining the Parsafil crew for a mini-getaway in Croatia, Erica Rose and her friends proved to be more demanding than anticipated, leading to some tension. The crew, including second stewardess Dani, faced challenges, with one guest even requesting a massage to cope with the stress of being constantly surrounded by friends on the yacht.

The OG Below Deck season 11 will be released on Bravo in February 2024 at 9 pm ET. Similarly, Below Deck Med season 9, season 3 of Below Deck Down Under , and season 5 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht are also awaiting release.

Below Deck Producers on Crew Member Secrets, "Difficult" Charter Guests, and Who Pays for the Yacht

Below Deck executive producers Mark Cronin and Courtland Cox spill the biggest behind-the-scenes secrets of the series.

Over the course of watching one episode of Below Deck , there are usually no less than 17 questions that enter our minds: How does one become a crew member (definitely asking for a friend)? Who pays for the charter? How do you even film a whole TV show on a yacht?

How to Watch

Watch  Below Deck  on  Peacock  and the Bravo App .

Well, Below Deck fans, we finally have the answers to these burning questions and so much more.

The Daily Dish got the behind-the-scenes scoop from executive producers Mark Cronin and Courtland Cox, who have worked on  Below Deck  and the first expansion of the series,  Below Deck Mediterranean , since their premieres in 2013 and 2016, respectively. Cronin and Cox gave us an inside look at what has gone into the seven seasons and more than 100 episodes of  Below Deck   so far as we prepare to welcome the newest addition, Below Deck Sailing Yacht , premiering Monday, February 3 at 9/8c.

Let these Below Deck producers take you on a journey through the show’s most shocking moments, unforgettable charter guests, and what's next for the series.

It Was Difficult to Find Crew Members at First

We can’t imagine anyone not wanting to be a part of the Below Deck crew these days, but when the Honor ’s yachties were being assembled for Season 1 of the show, people were hesitant to climb aboard, according to Cox. “Initially, it was very hard to get yacht crew members to commit to doing the show because it was an unknown entity. People didn’t know what Below Deck was," he explained, adding that some yachties didn't know if it would "jeopardize their future employment potential."

Since then, people with all levels of experience have been a part of the Below Deck crew over the years. “We have people that have worked in yachting for multiple seasons that have experience on big boats and small boats and with celebrity clientele and with very wealthy owners and have been all over the world,” Cox said. “These are real yachties. These are people whose careers depend on this.”

One of the main reasons Below Deck has been able to attract so many people in yachting is because they want to give their loved ones a glimpse into what they do for a living. “The vast majority of people that do the show, they always say, ‘I want to do the show because I want my friends and family to understand what my job is,'” Cox said. “And they’re like, ‘If I go on Below Deck , I will have a tangible, visible thing for my family and friends to understand what my job is.'”

Below Deck has even been “a constant learning experience” for Cox in that regard. “There’s always something interesting, there’s always an amazing story or an amazing technique or a shortcut here or there that’s fascinating to the people that are watching the show, fascinating to us, fascinating to the yachties,” he said. “That’s one of the big appeals of the show is I’m always learning something. The audience is learning something. I never assume that I know all there is to know about the world of yachting or what it takes to be a yachtie. I’m constantly learning from people that do the show, and I’m grateful for that, honestly.”

How Production Prepares the Crew for the Charter Season

Cox said that he has a talk with the crew on the boat as they prepare to set sail for the charter season. “I say to them all, ‘Things are gonna happen on a charter yacht, on this boat, and you’re gonna look at us and say, you guys as production are doing that to us, aren’t you?’” Cox recalled. “And I say, ‘The thing you have to realize is we’re never doing that; it’s really happening, and put us out of the whole equation of things because as you all know, things that happen on boats are so crazy and so unpredictable and so unimaginable that you just have to embrace it.'”

These Are the Moments That Made Producers’ Jaws Drop

There’s never a shortage of jaw-dropping moments on Below Deck , but asking producers to name just one is quite the challenge. “A million things come to mind,” Cox told The Daily Dish .

For starters, Cox said that he had no idea what was going on at first when Ashton Pienaar went overboard in Season 6 . “As a producer, I’m in the control room watching, and I can only see what the cameras are shooting, so I see that moment, I see the rope starting around Ashton’s ankle and then I see him go in the water, and then three seconds later, I see a camera being set down on the deck of the boat. And, as a producer, I’m yelling at my camera operators. I’m saying, ‘Why are we not shooting? What’s happening?’” Cox recalled. “And it’s not until well after the fact that I realize that our camera operator had set his camera down to untie the line to let Ashton free from the rope that he’s entangled in."

Cox said that he will also never get over the Season 1 moment Kat Held snuck off the yacht after Captain Lee Rosbach ordered her not to go out, which the captain watched play out for himself through the boat’s security cameras. “That’s one of those moments where it’s like, it’s so perfect the way that it happens as Lee’s watching it and laughing at Kat walking off the boat. You couldn’t script that any better than what actually happened in that real moment,” Cox said. “As a producer, watching those things really happen on the boat, those are the things that, in the midst of a crazy production when you’re tired, you see those moments and you’re like, that is completely amazing and magical.”

You see those moments and you’re like, that is completely amazing and magical.”

There was even a moment from the current installment of Below Deck , Season 7, that made it to the list for Cox, when Kevin Dobson made that penis cake for the last charter of the season. “Kevin is terrified by the reaction to that, he falls into a depression,” Cox said. “You cannot write those moments.”

It’s moments like these that always keep things interesting for those who work on Below Deck . “That’s the kind of thing that keeps me coming back to the show,” Cox said. “Every season, there are five or six moments like that that so completely engage me and so suck me in that I’m like, this is why Below Deck is an amazing show that you can’t do anywhere else.”

Producers Were Shocked When This Crew Member Quit

Not every crew member makes it to the end of the season, but Cox said he couldn’t believe it when Don Abenante decided to quit after Captain Lee reprimanded him for swimming with Rocky Dakota in Season 3. “That was a shocking, incredible, unforeseen departure where we all were like, ‘Wait, did that really just happen?’” Cox said. “That was shocking and amazing.”

Rocky jumping off the boat and diving into the water that same season was also a pretty epic — and literal — exit. “That’s probably the top departure in all of Below Deck history even though she came back to the show,” Cox recalled.

But when it comes to crew members who have been fired, Cox said that producers usually aren’t all that shocked when Captain Lee hands them a plane ticket home. “The firings are not really surprising ‘cause you see them coming for a while,” Cox said. “Sometimes sad. Sometimes not sad. Sometimes overdue.”

Yes, Guests Really Do Pay for the Charters

Below Deck charters cost a pretty penny, and they are paid for by the charter guests, including that wad of cash they hand over for the crew’s tip. “They spend their real money to be on the show," Cronin explained. "And then the tip they leave, they decide what it is."

Most of the charter guests have chartered yachts in the past or have been really eager to do so, according to Cox. “They’re not people that are coming on because they feel like this is a good chance for them to get on TV. This is a great experience for them to charter a very large yacht with a very experienced and fun crew and have an amazing three-day charter in an amazing location,” he said. “I want them to enjoy their charter and not be afraid to ask for things if they want. And I think that at the end of their charters, like, every charter guest we’ve had has said this has been an amazing experience.”

What Viewers Get Wrong About the Show

Cox said that some Below Deck fans have a major misconception about the series. “[What] the viewers get wrong most is how real the show really is. Our job is to sort of stay in the background and turn cameras on what’s really happening,” he said. “I think people are so jaded by reality TV, they think that everything is thought ahead five steps or eight steps, and we are really genuinely filming what’s happening on a working charter yacht with people that are working on the yacht.” 

Let’s be real, no one could ever predict all the crazy things that go down on Below Deck . “I wish that I had the imagination and creativity to come up with the things that actually happen on the show because the things that happen on the show I could never in a million years come up with, could never imagine them,” Cox said. “I think that’s why fans respond to the show the way they do because it’s very authentic.”

This Is What Producers Think of "Difficult" Charter Guests

As we all know from watching Below Deck , some of the charter guests are more pleasant than others when they board the yacht. While the crew is usually not too thrilled to be serving guests like this, they’re always fun for the producers — and the audience — to watch. “They make for great entertainment,” Cox said, adding that in the yachting world outside of the show, “Guests are difficult and so I love that.”

However, Below Deck would be nothing without its outrageous charter guests, including one of Cox’s all-time favorites, Steve Bradley , who appeared in Seasons 3 and 6 . “Steve is 1 million percent Steve. Like, if I could bottle the essence of Steve and inject that into my veins, I would totally do that because he is authentically, 1,000 percent living his life,” Cox said. “He finds joy in everything and he has a great time, and when you listen to the yacht crew when Steve was chartering the yacht, they all say, ‘I want to be Steve when I’m 60 or 65,’ because he is just fully engaged in his joy and bliss. So, I love those kinds of guests.”

You look at them as a producer and go, ‘I want to live that life,' those are the guests I love seeing.”

Of course, Dean Slover , who chartered the yacht in Seasons 2, 3, and 4, has also been memorable for Cox. “I love Dean Slover. Dean’s been on three charters because Dean always comes with his amazing bevy of these beautiful men that come on the boat and they’re in skimpy bathing suits and they look incredible and I’m like, I want to be all those guys. They look incredible,” Cox said. “Again, somebody that just fully embraces the joy of it. So, I mean, I think the guests that come on and have an amazing time, and you look at them as a producer and go, ‘I want to live that life,’ those are the guests I love seeing.”

Producers “Weren’t Happy” When They Found out Adam and Malia Knew Each Other on Below Deck Med

Producers were just as shocked as you were to find out that Adam Glick and Malia White had already met prior to the start of Season 2 of Below Deck Med . “Well, we weren’t happy about it. We were like, ‘What? This is terrible. We didn’t know this.’ We didn’t understand what their conversations meant,” Cronin recalled. “But this always happens on Below Deck . If you find out something late, you can go back and look at what you have in the footage and find those moments.”

Cronin cited Rocky and Eddie Lucas ’ hookups in the laundry room in Season 3 as another example of this. “We didn’t know it initially, and then we found out late. But once we found out, we went back in the footage and we found all those little moments,” Cronin said. "We will always get the story.”

Why Below Deck Left the Caribbean — and Where It May Be Heading Next

Below Deck cruised around the Caribbean for five seasons before it relocated to other parts of the world, including Tahiti in Season 6 and Thailand in Season 7.

Cox explained the reason for the move. “Unfortunately, the Caribbean, after we shot our last season in Saint Martin, had a terrible hurricane that went through there and tragically destroyed a lot of the infrastructure, a lot of the housing, everything in the Caribbean was pretty much wiped out. And so we had this very difficult decision to make of do we go back to the Caribbean?” Cox explained. “Ultimately, we decided that it was better for us to step away for a season or two, let the region recover, let people get things up and running before we come back.”

However, Cox said he hopes the show will be back in the Caribbean again one day. “Hopefully, we will be returning to the Caribbean very soon,” he said. “I’m happy to get back there, but also it was great to be able to go away and see different things and see exotic locations and different cultures.”

How the Series Has Changed the Most After More Than 100 Episodes

After seven seasons of the show so far, Below Deck has gotten bigger — a lot bigger. “We had a very small filming and production crew in Season 1. We didn’t really know what the scope of the show was going to be," Cox said. “We very quickly realized the yachties that are working on these boats, they’re not going to bed at 10 o’clock; they’re going to bed at 2 o’clock in the morning. When our cameras pulled out of there at 10 p.m., there was still four hours’ worth of magic and mayhem and all that was happening. We very quickly realized we have to actually bring in more crews and film longer. Going from, like, an 11-hour filming day to now what is essentially a 19 or 20-hour filming day, that’s one of the bigger changes.”

We’re capturing, I think, 125 percent more footage than we did in the first three seasons on Below Deck .”

These days, the film crew captures “an amazing amount of footage,” according to Cox. “We have surveillance cameras we didn’t have before . We have handheld cameras,” he said. “So production-wise, we’re capturing, I think, 125 percent more footage than we did in the first three seasons on Below Deck .”

And Below Deck continues to change. “We’re always learning, and for me, it’s very important. I never want to assume that the way we did things last season is the right way to do things. I know that the audience, the Bravo audience, especially, the Below Deck audience, they’re a very savvy audience. They want things to be different, and so for us, it’s about, are we capturing things that are compelling, and what are the things that we didn’t capture last time that the audience wants to see, and how can we capture that? It’s always trying to stay one step ahead and anticipate what the audience wants to see, but still keeping with the authenticity of that world,” Cox said. “It’s a fine balance of not interfering in what’s happening but capturing things in a way that’s compelling and keeps the audience engaged. So, that’s our challenge, and I actually love the challenge. I love being able to have to stay ahead of it. I love not being able to rest on the laurels of how we did things in the past.”

90 Day Fiancé: What Job Does Tigerlily Taylor Do For A Living?

Big brother 26 week 7 power of veto results (spoilers), 90 day fiancé: michael ilesanmi has major glow-up after angela deem split (how does he react to female attention on social media).

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 had its fair share of horrible guests but also had a few amazing ones. Fans were first introduced to the newer Below Deck franchise in February 2020 when season 1 aired. The first season included Captain Glenn Shephard, a slew of new yachties, and one familiar face, Chef Adam Glick. However, the cast didn't resonate with fans, and Bravo did a complete cast shake-up for season 2 with only Captain Glenn returning.

Fans thoroughly enjoyed BDSY season 2, as they love the new yachties, the many boatmances, and the hilarious guests. Not to mention a surprise pregnancy with Dani Soares and Jean-Luc Lanaux , which led to a paternity test. As for BDSY season 3, it's become a must-watch with Below Deck fans.

BDSY season 3 not only saw the return of Cheif Steward Daisy Kelliher, First Mate Gary King, and Engineer Colin Macrae but always some great new additions and new boatmances. Gary, of course, found himself hooking up with more than half of the women on the boat, including his close friend Daisy. However, none of the drama between the crew compared to how much the fans adored some of the charter guests this season.

3. BDSY Season 3 Guests Who Had A Wedding

The most recent guests on BDSY season 3 are Allegra Gray and Gabe Szczepanek. The couple chartered the sailing yacht in Spain with a few friends for their upcoming wedding. While their friends were difficult for Chef Marco Spaziani to accommodate due to one of their friends' severe gluten allergy, their group was pleasant overall. Allegra and Gabe even got married during their charter, and the whole crew was in attendance.

2. BDSY Season 3 Fourth Charter Guests

Another amazing group this season was the fourth charter from BDSY season 3. Primary charter guest Jim Blumenthal and his friends were laidback, despite making the crew put on a talent show. Nonetheless, the BDSY team had fun with it, and the guests showed how much they appreciated their work with a large tip at the end.

1. BDSY Season 3 Guests From Canada

The most likable guests from BDSY season 3 were primary charter guest Lane Merrifield and his friends from Vancouver. The Canadian group had a ton of fun partying on the yacht, even though they could not sail while on board. Despite the difficult task of molecular gastronomy they asked from Chef Marcos, the guests made up for it by having the BDSY crew do hurricane shots with them. It's no surprise that the Canadian group was the best charter guests' this season.

Below Deck Med 's Captain Sandy Confronts Rude Guests Over "Difficult" Behavior—and One Isn't Having it

Below deck mediterranean 's captain sandy yawn was forced to have an awkward conversation with some demeaning guests who were less than kind to the crew during the bravo series' aug. 12 episode..

These demanding Below Deck Mediterranean guests definitely know how to rock the boat.

A disrespectful new group of vacationers made waves with the crew during the Bravo series' Aug. 12 episode.

From complaining about walking up and down stairs to arguing with the staff about cutlery and even asking the interior crew to rearrange the "eye sore" furniture, the rude travelers—led by head charter guest Mahisha —left a bad taste in everyone's mouths. In fact, their behavior went so far, Captain Sandy Yawn was forced to step in a give the group a talking to about their demeaning attitudes.

"I always say this: If you beat character down, you're gonna kill their spirit," Sandy told the guests. "But if you're gracious and you're thankful, you're gonna build them up and they're gonna wanna do more for you."

"I had a client who spent a million euros on a charter, they were so rude to my crew," the Captain continued. "I pulled the primary in and I said, 'I'll cancel your charter tomorrow if you treat my staff like that again.' They turned it around like that, because I called the owner and he goes, 'I don't need to money. End the charter.'"

The reprimanding caused one of the guests, Neysla , to walk away and say under her breath, "I'm, like, over this conversation."

However, Sandy noted how amazing her season nine crew is, adding, "I'm happy to have them."

In a confessional, the Captain explained why she felt the need to intervene after receiving complaints from her crew, namely beloved Chief Stew Aesha Scott .

"How you treat others is really important," she noted. "From what Aesha and the other crew are saying to me, these clients are difficult. Did I get my point across?"

And Sandy's words worked like a charm. Later that day, Aesha even admitted how shocked she was by how polite the group had become.

"All of a sudden, the guests seem to have this base level of decency," the Chief Stew recounted in a confessional. "Maybe they reflected and realized how horrible they were and this is their way of saying their sorry."

And when the charter was over, Mahisha gave the crew a glowing evaluation.

"Thank you guys so much, this was amazing," she said as her party disembarked. "I don't think we had any issues, did we?"

Aesha's reaction? "Were we on the same charter?!" she hilariously remarked in a confessional. "I mean, I'll take it for sure, but this is so confusing."

Keep reading to look back at some more of the wildest guests in Below Deck history. Below Deck Mediterranean airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.

The Bravo franchise has had plenty of dramatic and crazy moments thanks to some unruly and demanding guests, including Georgia , who was a little too flirty with no-nonsense leader Captain Lee Rosbach .

Sometimes, you just want a foam party—at least, that's what this demanding guest asked for. Was it eyebrow-raising to see him drunkenly partying in what ended up being about four inches of foam? Yes. Was it still epic because of how excited he was? Also yes.

Where do we start with Delores ? The season eight Below Deck charter guest made a splash, literally and figuratively, after she drunkenly jumped into the ocean late at night. To make matters worse, this swimming session was in direct defiance to Captain Lee's order to stay on the boat. In a first for his career, Captain Lee ended Delores' charter early and sent her packing.

However, while being escorted away on the tender, Delores jumped into the ocean. Bold move, lady.

Barrie boarded the Parsifal III with his blended family, including his current fiancé and his ex-husband, in season two of Below Deck Sailing Yacht . With such a large guest list, the crew was certainly put to work, especially chef Natasha . Not only did Barrie have no problem sending his breakfast back, but he also refused to have his family served buffet-style.

The first charter of Below Deck season eight was certainly a memorable one. We're, of course, talking about when the charter guests found themselves bickering over deckhand  James Hough . Specifically, charter guest Shay called dibs on the British yachtie. However, her boatmance hopes were derailed when pal Lexi flirtatiously rode a jet ski with James. Thus, a fight broke out over dinner, which shocked the Below Deck crew.

It was ladies night on the high seas in this episode of  Below Deck Mediterranean , but as the drinks flowed, some of the women started to get a little handsy  with deckhand  Jack Stirrup . Thankfully,  Captain Sandy swooped in to save the day.

The crew aboard this ship got a show they didn't ask for when two of the guests hooked up in the crow's nest, a part of the ship that everyone could see on camera.

In the same episode that the crew witnessed the on-deck hookup of two of their guests, they also discovered that their passengers also had never heard of cleaning up after themselves when they stumbled upon a used condom on the nightstand.

For the most part, the charter guest is always right. However, in season two of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , charter guest Erica requested that Captain Glenn Shephard do something to make the ship stop rocking. Unfortunately for Erica, they were in the middle of a thunderstorm and Captain Glenn didn't have the power to control the weather.

Other highlights from this charter group include a woman with hours worth of stories, bullying accusations among the ladies and so much more.

While many guests on  Below Deck have been demanding, this may be the most ridiculous request because of how random it was. On one of the episodes, guests demanded gumballs, but not just any gumballs. They had to be colored gumballs and they even threatened to require they be delivered by helicopter if there were none on board.

Not every guest has found their trip to be a five-star experience, but usually they stick around to give feedback as to why. On this episode of  Below Deck , we learn that a few of the guests straight-up ghosted upon arrival and fled the ship before even saying goodbye to the crew.
