Why Below Deck Sailing Yacht 's Ashley Marti Skipped the Season 3 Reunion (& How the Cast Reacted)

Stewardess ashley marti played a large role on below deck sailing yacht 's season three reunion despite not being in attendance..

Skipping out on a reunion is a cardinal sin in the Bravo-verse, but that's exactly what Below Deck Sailing Yacht 's Ashley Marti just did. 

The season three reunion aired June 27, and while the stewardess was nowhere to be found, that didn't stop her co-stars from sharing their thoughts on everything that went down with her and first mate  Gary King this year—namely, the time they seemingly hooked up despite the fact that Gary was extremely intoxicated. 

As host Andy Cohen put it, "You were really drunk, you told her to stop. From the viewers' perspective, you were sexually assaulted. Is that you felt?"

Gary prefaced his response by noting that while he and Ashley "aren't friends," he still felt the need to defend her. "I don't think there was anything of it and I think people are being very harsh to her," Gary said of the hook up. "I thank everyone for sticking up for me but there was nothing to it and I feel that everyone should leave Ashley alone on that circumstance because it wasn't how it seemed."

Andy pointed out that if the roles were reversed—more specifically, if Gary had initiated a drunken hookup and made a comment similar to that of Ashley's "You're f--king inside of me right now"—the situation could be quite serious. 

"I understand that Andy, I really do," Gary replied. "I mean, it's not an ideal situation, to be honest. I personally wouldn't do something like that. But I can't stress this enough, I'd just like people to leave Ashley alone."

Gary also revealed that while he and Ashley aren't exactly on good terms, he did reach out to her once the hookup in question aired. "I just sent her a message saying, 'From the messages I'm getting, I can only imagine what you're receiving, so I just want to apologize for that and I just want you to not think about it, don't take it too hard.'"

Still, like most of the Below Deck Sailing Yacht cast, he wasn't amused that Ashley had skipped out on the reunion.  Marcos Spaziani was the only crew member to come to her defense, theorizing that she may have just been too busy. However, Daisy Kelliher immediately shut him down.

"Marcos, we're all busy, OK?" the chief stew said, much to her other co-stars' amusement. "We all have jobs. We all have things to do. But we all knew that the reunion happens, so cut the busy bulls--t."

Daisy, for her part, was correct—Ashley didn't skip the reunion because she busy. As Ashley explained in an Instagram Live on June 26, she was a no-show because "at the time the reunion was filmed, all of the stuff with the bedroom scene was coming out," Ashley said. "And people were being very nasty, and I just felt like I didn't want to have to deal with it during the reunion."

The 24-year-old also insisted that she wouldn't have been able "to really tell my side of the story." 

Naturally, the show went on without her. Throughout the reunion, Tom addressed the situation that led to his firing, Daisy and Gary continued to spark romance rumors , Gabriela Barragan reflected on leaving the charter and so much more.

Season three of Below Deck Sailing Yacht is now streaming on Peacock , where the reunion episode will launch on Tuesday morning.

Ashley Marti Was the Only 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 3 Star to Miss the Reunion

Published June 28 2022, 11:55 a.m. ET

Spoiler Alert: This article contains spoilers for the Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 3 reunion.

Months after the crew on Parsifal III wrapped up in Menorca on Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 3, the stars gathered to discuss the most compelling moments from the season for a reunion.

Returning stars Captain Glenn Shephard, Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher, First Mate Gary King , and Engineer Colin MacRae joined host Andy Cohen virtually in the Watch What Happens Live clubhouse for the June 27 episode, as did Season 3 personalities Kelsie Goglia and Chef Marcos Spaziani.

Departed crew members Gabriela Barragan and Tom Pearson were there too, though neither actually finished out the season.

Even deckhand Barnaby Birkbeck and stew Scarlett Bentley were there for the reunion, though they only joined the Parsifal III crew late into the charter season.

As host Andy Cohen soon pointed out, Ashley Marti was not present for the virtual reunion taping. The New York state native was the subject of controversy throughout the season, and a lot of the drama revolved around her connection with Gary.

Ashley Marti and Tom Pearson.

Though much of the special likely would have focused on her experience on the sailing vessel, Ashley proved to be a no show.

Why wasn't Ashley Marti at the Below Deck Sailing Yacht reunion? Read on to find out what her former co-star (and one time hook-up) Tom Pearson had to say about her absence.

Why wasn't Ashley Marti at the 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 3 reunion?

Though each Below Deck Sailing Yacht cast member was able to call into the reunion from home or from their workplace (or, in the case of Chef Marcos, from the car), Ashley chose not to attend the virtual taping.

"This was a great season, and it was a season we saw all sides of controversial stew Ashley Marti — the good, the bad, and the bruised," Andy said at the beginning of the special. "However, we won't be seeing her today because, unfortunately, she's a no show."

The WWHL star then asked the cast if any of them had spoken to Ashley prior to the taping. Fired deckhand Tom, who had a romantic dalliance with Ashley, said that he had.

"I spoke to her yesterday. She just said that she doesn't need this in her life, and she wasn't interested in taking part," Tom said. "I'm not surprised."

Tom understood why Ashley wasn't there, but some of her other former cast mates didn't.

"Why sign up to do a TV show when you know there's gonna be a reunion about it, and then you don't do it?" Gary wondered.

While Chef Marcos said that she could have been "too busy," Daisy told him to "cut the busy bulls--t."

"I get the sense that she wasn't thrilled by how the show turned out," Andy said.

Has Ashley commented on her 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' reunion absence?

Ashley didn't give herself the chance to defend her Season 3 actions on the reunion, but she may have taken to her Instagram stories on June 27 to discuss why she would not be there. The story has since disappeared, but a screenshot of it has been circulating on Reddit . It is important to note that the veracity of these screenshots cannot be corroborated.

"I just want to let all my supporters know that I chose not to participate in the reunion," Ashley appeared to write on her story, per the Reddit thread. "At the time it was filmed, I did not have the energy nor the desire to continue to be a puppet for Bravo, in addition to feeling like I would not be able to fully tell my side of the story due to editing."

She went on to thank her fans, and to let them know that she could answer questions via her stories. It is unclear at this time if Ashley did end up answering her followers' questions on the app.

"I appreciate all of the support I have received along the way, which is why I'm giving my followers a chance to ask me questions about the season which I will answer live," she continued. "I'm sorry for anyone who was looking forward to it, however I hope you will respect my decision."

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Below Deck Sailing Yacht: Ashley Marti skips season 3 reunion after fan backlash

Share this with

Ashley Marti will not be taking part in the Below Deck Sailing Yacht season three reunion, announcing that she decided to skip proceedings.

The stewardess found herself at the center of much of the drama on board , and tussled with castmate Gaby Barragan in the interior crew.

She also had a controversial short-lived fling with both Tom Pearson and Gary King – before he moved on to newbie Scarlett Bentley.

In light of all the explosive moments, the Bravo star – who was promoted to lead stewardess in last week’s season finale – announced that she would be taking a back seat ahead of the upcoming reunion.

Taking to Twitter, Ashley explained in a statement that she would be taking part in a live Q&A session on Instagram instead, so that she could share her own side of the story without ‘editing’.

‘I just want to let all my supporters know that I chose not to participate in the reunion,’ she shared on her page.

‘At the time it was filmed I did not have the energy nor the desire to continue to be a puppet for Bravo, in addition to feeling like I would not be able to fully tell my side of the story due to editing.

‘I appreciate all of the support I have received along the way which is why I’m giving my followers a chance to ask me questions about the season which I will answer live.

‘I’m sorry for anyone who was looking forward to it, however I hope you will respect my decision.’

Directing fans towards a question box, she added: ‘You may ask your questions below and I will do my best to answer as many as possible.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CbqWPN8uAnF/?hl=en

‘Live will be Sunday at 9pm Est.’

Ashley didn’t get off to the best start on board Parsifal III when she learned that she would be working in the third stewardess position, a decision she was unimpressed with.

She also tangled with second stew Gaby, who eventually left the boat before being replaced by Scarlett.

During the season, she initially became close with co-star Gary and was called out by viewers for appearing to hook up with the deckhand while he was very drunk.

However, addressing the scenes during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Gary insisted that he wasn’t assaulted.

‘People are very concerned,’ host Andy Cohen began. ‘They were very uncomfortable watching it.’

‘Thanks everyone for looking out for me,’ he replied, explaining that he had seen the reaction they had both received. ‘But I didn’t think much of it then, and right now, I don’t think much of it, too.

‘I just think that people on social media blew it up bigger than what it actually was.’

Andy revealed that viewers watching on from home thought that he had been assaulted in the scenes, to which he continued: ‘I could see how they saw that, but in the first place, I did hook up with Ashley prior to that happening.

‘It wasn’t… I just wish I wasn’t that drunk. I think it boils down to hooking up with Ashley was a mistake in the first place and it shouldn’t have happened from the get-go, really.

‘I guess the most direct question I can ask you—and we’ll talk about this more at the reunion—do you feel that you were assaulted?,’ Andy clarified, to which Gary added: ‘No I don’t.

‘I appreciate everyone standing up for me, but I’ve got a voice of my own and I could use it if I felt I was assaulted.’

Where Ashley Marti From Below Deck Sailing Yacht Is Today

Ashley Marti made quite the splash in "Below Deck Sailing Yacht" Season 3 . Since the first episode, she caused a lot of drama within the boat that carried on throughout the season. During the crew's first night together, Marti and First Officer Gary King had a steamy makeout session in the hot tub. She later made it clear that she wanted him to only have eyes for her, but he wasn't ready to commit to a relationship. Undeterred, she spent the season chasing after him and getting upset when he hooked up with Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher and the second stew, Gabriela Barragan.

Marti also created a tense work environment for Barragan after she was appointed third stew despite the two having similar work experiences. However, Kelliher thought Barragan had more life experience as she was older than Marti. The third stew often ignored Barragan's orders and made her job more difficult. Midway through the season, the second stew had enough of the boat drama and decided to quit.

While Marti's actions were already causing tension within the boat, she caused even more drama when she convinced a very inebriated King to have sex with her. Many "BDSY" fans thought the first mate had been sexually assaulted and Marti got a lot of heat from viewers, per E! News . Marti ended up skipping the reunion and used her moment of fame to pursue another career.

Ashley Marti is making bank on OnlyFans

Ashley Marti's time on "Below Deck Sailing Yacht" Season 3 was highly controversial and it's likely that she won't be back on the show. Following her stint on reality television, Marti decided to go another route and created an OnlyFans account, which was a topic of conversation during the Season 3 reunion. Although Marti was dragged by her cast members and viewers for failing to show up, she had the last laugh and tweeted the following day, "Just want to thank @BravoWWHL for all the free OF publicity! I love waking up and seeing that in a couple hours, I've made more money than #Bravo paid me for 6 weeks."

According to Refinery29 , "Below Deck" stews make around $5,000 a month, not including tips from the charter guests. Crew members each earn about $15,000 in tips for their six-week season, which can add up to $20,000 for a second or third stew. At the time, the Daily Mail reported that Marti was charging $12.50 for her OnlyFans subscription and had 4,100 fans so far, which meant the former yachtie made over $51,000 that month. With a much heftier paycheck, Marti can afford to leave the stew career behind and is using her money to traverse the globe.

When she's not creating content for her OnlyFans site, Ashley Marti is traveling the world. In August 2022, she shared a poolside selfie on Instagram and wrote, "Life is fxcking amazing." The previous day, the former stew was in Spain with her fellow "Below Deck Sailing Yacht" Season 3 cast members Kelsie Goglia and Barnaby Birkbeck. "Ibiza you did not disappoint..and neither did the squad," Marti captioned .

In October 2021, she showed off her adventurous side by going on a safari in Tanzania. Marti shared a snap of her and a tour guide and wrote , "*Guide Appreciation Post* This man has been above and beyond anything I could've ever asked for. His name means Good luck and that's exactly what he is. If any of you ever plan on going on safari in Tanzania, talk to me and I will make sure you have the best guides."

Although Marti clashed with many of her "BDSY" cast members, she became good friends with Goglia, and the two often spend time together. Marti visited her BFF in San Diego to watch her throw the first pitch for the Padres. "Couldn't miss my bestie throw an absolute zinger of a first pitch," she shared on Instagram . Despite her controversial "BDSY" season, it looks as if some good things came out of her short stint on the show.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Cast Reacts to Ashley Marti’s Reunion Snub

During season three of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , third stew Ashley Marti  became a controversial figure. Many fans called out her behavior on social media, and they were anxious to see the 24-year-old in the hot seat at the reunion.

But as the special aired on Monday, Ashley was nowhere to be seen. Before the episode dropped, the star publicly revealed that she would no longer play the role of Bravo’s “puppet.”

On the season three reunion , castmates reacted to Ashley’s absence. When host Andy Cohen asked if anyone had talked to her recently, the surprising first response was from Tom Pearson .

“Yeah, I spoke to her yesterday. She just said that she doesn’t need this in her life and that she wasn’t interested in taking part. So, I am not surprised,” he said, via Monsters & Critics .

Andy then noticed that Gary King was shaking his head into the camera, so he asked the first officer to share his thoughts.

“Why sign up to do a TV show when you know there’s going to be a reunion about it and then don’t do it?” responded Gary.

Chef Marcos Spaziani  seemed to disagree, replying, “Unless you are too busy.”

Daisy Kelliher wasn’t happy about Marcos’ response, so she soon chimed in: “Marcos, we’re all busy, okay? We all have jobs. We all have things to do. But we all knew the reunion happens, so cut the busy bulls**t, okay? I don’t need to hear it again.”

Marcos, it seems, was actually busy, and he exited the virtual chat early so he could finish a cooking job.

Though Ashley was a no-show, the stars addressed an allegation that she crossed the line during her hookup with Gary . During the reunion, Gary stated that she did not cross the line in any manner.

Although he defended Ashley in that regard, Gary expressed that they were not friends, and he defended Gabriela Barragan ‘s claims of being mistreated by Ashley.

Daisy and Kelsie Goglia   stood up for Ashley regarding her role as the lead stew. They suggested that she worked hard enough to earn the title.

Gabriela didn’t seem pleased with their comments.

The sea isn't exactly smooth.

The stewardess took to her Instagram Stories to share the reason why she didn't appear in the virtual chat with her Bravo co-stars, the first part of which aired yesterday (June 27) hosted by Andy Cohen.

Marti has been heavily criticised by fans of the show over conflict with fellow stewardess Gabriela Barragan on board the Parsifal III.

She was also in the spotlight during the show's third season following a fling with first mate Gary King, with some viewers criticising her for appearing to hook up with him while he was very drunk.

King addressed this on the reunion after Cohen said that some viewers said they felt "very uncomfortable" watching what happened, saying : "I could see how they saw that, but in the first place, I did hook up with Ashley prior to that happening. I just wish I wasn't that drunk.

"I think it boils down to hooking up with Ashley was a mistake in the first place and it shouldn't have happened from the get-go, really," he continued.

"I appreciate everyone standing up for me, but I've got a voice of my own and I could use it if I felt I was assaulted."

Elsewhere on the reunion, Gabriela reflected on leaving the charter, and deckhand Tom Pearson opened up on the situation that ultimately led to him being dismissed from the crew .

Ashley Marti is the new third stew joining the  Below Deck Sailing Yacht  season 3 cast. She will be joined by four other newbies and four returning crewmembers from season 2. Chief stew Daisy Kelliher, first mate Gary King, chief engineer Colin MacRae, and  Captain Glenn Shephard are returning to  Sailing Yacht  season 3. The trailer for season 3 dropped recently, and so far, fans can't wait for the upcoming installment to premiere on February 21.

This new season promises a lot of drama from the crewmates, but it will be tough for it to beat the drama that took place in season 2. Not only was there a love triangle that included first mate Gary, third stew Alli Dore, and deckhand Sydney Zaruba, but a child was conceived onboard between two other crew members. Second stew Dani Soares welcomed her first child last year with deckhand Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux. While he was unsure he was the father of the baby, Jean-Luc confirmed he is the father  after taking a DNA test. Hopefully, Ashley and the season 3 crew can live up to all the drama that fans loved watching in season 2.

According to Ashley's bio with  Bravo , the third stew was born and raised in New York but has since moved to her new home in sunny South Florida. Ashley decided to pursue this career during the COVID-19 pandemic and hasn't looked back on her decision since then. Ashley has made her way through yachts in the United States, the Bahamas, and now even Spain. The reality star is looking forward to her time on Parsafil III and the future experiences she will have onboard. Judging by the  Below Deck Sailing Yacht  season 3 trailer, Ashley, who is on BDSY with first mate Gary , gets quite a lot of experience with Gary and one of the newer crew members.

Since Ashley got into yachting less than two years ago, she has traveled to many places all over the world for work. Other than Menorca, Spain, Ashley was seen working in the Bahamas as of March 2021. Ashley shared a few photos on her Instagram of her using the yachting pool during one of her days off. Ashley has also visited other places in Europe, such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as Croatia. It appears that she's also been to Tanzania, where she went on a safari. Viewers will get to know Ashley, who will be working alongside Below Deck Sailing Yacht  chief stew Daisy , even more once the  BDSY  season 3 premiere episode airs on Bravo.

Viewers will get to meet Ashley when  Below Deck Sailing Yacht  season 3 episode 1 officially premieres on February 21. With the show bringing in new blood each year, these new crewmembers always offer something to each season. Thus far, Ashley seems like she may have a bit of staying power.

Why did Ashley Marti skip 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Reunion?

After 'BDSY' Season 3's finale episode aired, Ashley took to her Instagram stories to announce that she wouldn't be attending the highly-anticipated reunion special hosted by Andy Cohen. She explained that she was done being a "puppet for Bravo" and accused the show's "editing" of not letting her tell her side of the story. She wrote, "I just want to let all my supporters know that I chose not to participate in the reunion. At the time if it was filmed I did not have the energy nor the desire to continue to be a puppet for bravo, in addition to feeling like I would not be able to fully tell my side of the due to editing." 

She thanked her fans for their support of her and announced that she would go live on Instagram to answer any of the burning questions her followers may have for her, instead. "I appreciate all of the support I have received along the way which is why I’m giving my followers a chance to ask me questions about the season which I will answer live. I’m sorry for anyone who was looking forward to it, however I hope you will respect my decision." In another story, Ashley shared that she would go live on Sunday, June 26, at 9 pm EST.

Ashley's decision to skip the reunion didn't sit well with fans, who took to Twitter to call out her excuse of not being "Bravo's puppet". A fan tweeted, "Do y’all know that Ashley isn’t going to be on the #BelowDeckSailingYacht reunion? Claiming she won’t be Bravo’s puppet as if Bravo told her to act the way she did all season. #BDSY #BelowDeck #BelowDeckSailing." "Ashley saying she’s Bravo’s puppet when she said in interviews “It’s literally giving me life rn that Scarlett has no experience” HUH?! Honey you jumped into that grave yourself, nobody pushed you. Need Scarlett back for S4! #BelowDeckSailingYacht #bdsy," wrote a fan. Another fan added, "Ashley not going 2reunion due to being “a puppet for bravo”..? They made you take advantage of a paralytic guy - made you rude to Scarlett - made you want to be 2nd stew so badly, that you bullied another cast member off the show… ok #BelowDeckSailingYacht."

Honestly I’m not surprised in the slightest that Ashley is not gonna be on the reunion episode tomorrow, but I still hope she gets dragged and called out for her behavior because it’s what she deserves. #BelowDeckSailingYacht pic.twitter.com/DQrs1ltkns — Cassidy Brown (@TheSasckMask) June 26, 2022

Ashley's not attending the reunion. She actually had two good episodes and had a huge opportunity to explain why she behaved like she did. Example, Gary flirting and then push her away several times a day. That maybe made her feel crazy? But no. She chose not to #belowdecksailing — Bravoswede (@bravoswede) June 26, 2022

New Below Deck Sailing Yacht Stew Ashley Marti on Flirting with Gary King: "1000 Percent Cringe"

The Parsifal III yachtie also reveals the  Below Deck Med  alum she is "really good friends with."

The Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 3 premiere gave us some serious deja vu when it aired on February 21. Gary King was once again caught locking lips with another crew member on the first day of charter — but this time, it was new stew Ashley Marti who had initiated the flirting and kissing.

How to Watch

However, as Ashley reflected on the moment during her February 21 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen   (clip above), she admitted that it was "1000 percent cringe" seeing herself telling the first mate that it was OK to kiss her that first night.

Ashley was actually met with quite the choice at the start of this season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht as Tom Pearson also expressed his interest in the third stew early on. But it was Gary's maturity over 23-year-old Tom that ultimately attracted Ashley to the first mate.

Andy Cohen asked Ashley on WWHL , "If not for Tom's age, would you have chosen him over Gary?" In response, she said, "I don't know. Gary's like Tarzan. He's got this whole Tarzan vibe that I like."

Meet Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 3's New Crew Members

In addition to Gary's man bun, Ashley also said that she found Gary's sense of humor attractive. "He's funny," she said on WWHL . "He makes me laugh, and that's all I can ask for."

Ashley confessed that she did watch last season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht as Gary found himself wrapped up in a love triangle with Alli Dore and Sydney Zaruba . "It clearly didn't impact my view," Ashley concluded, to which Andy replied, "And you still went [for it]. All right."

It sounds like Gary's kiss didn't leave much of an impression on Ashley, either. When asked to describe the smooch in three words, Ashley replied, "Three words? That's too many words. It was average."

Still, Ashley said that she has no regrets when it comes to pursuing Gary over Tom that first night.

Not only had Ashley watched  Below Deck Sailing Yacht before appearing on the show, but she also knows a familiar yachtie. "I am really good friends with Bobby Giancola from Below Deck Med ," she revealed in the below clip of the WWHL After Show . "And he definitely gave me a bit of advice."

After Andy asked Ashley to elaborate on Bobby's words of wisdom, she paused before ultimately sharing, "Don't screw the crew."

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 3 reunion teaser: Gary and Daisy bombshell, crew drama, and missing Ashley

The Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 3 reunion teaser is here. It’s filled with jaw-dropping moments like a Gary King and Daisy Kelliher revelation, a slew of crew drama, and Ashley Marti missing from the virtual chat.

It’s that time of year again when Below Deck Sailing Yacht ends , and the crew gathers to dish the good, the bad, and the ugly of the season. There’s no question that Season 3 was filled with moments that Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans are anxiously awaiting the Parsifal III crew to address.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 3 reunion teaser

Ahead of the Season 3 reunion show, Bravo has given Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans something to talk about before the show hits the airwaves. The trailer has so many hilarious and dramatic moments it’s clear the reunion will have a little bit of something for everyone.

Gary kissing all of the interior crew will be one hot topic. Andy wastes no time asking Gary to reveal which of the stews was the best kisser. His answer will leave Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans laughing out loud.

The preview then gets into the drama, including the anchoring dragging incident. Tom takes full responsibility for his actions.

However, when it comes to the stews spilling the tea, Daisy, Scarlett, and Gabriela all get heated as the season is rehashed. Daisy has quite a rant about drunken crew night outs, which seems to irritate Gabriela.

One hot topic of Season 3 was Gary and Daisy making out and whether they would ever date. As Andy puts them both on blast, Gary reveals something viewers never saw coming.

Ashley Marti missing from the Below Deck Sailing Yacht reunion trailer

One person noticeably absent from the Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 3 reunion trailer is Ashley Marti. The stew caused a lot of friction and tension this season.

There’s no mention of Ashley at all in the first-look footage. It could be a tease for fans, but if she really isn’t in attendance that’s a big bummer for Below Deck Sailing Yacht viewers.

Throughout the season, Ashley’s actions have caused outrage and backlash. From her treatment of Gabriela to her crossing the line with Gary to her obnoxious behavior, Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans were ready for Ashely to face the music for her actions.

The Season 2 reunion show featured Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux doing a separate interview from the rest of the cast. Perhaps Ashley could be doing that, but it seems unlikely.

The stew doesn’t seem to have a problem speaking her mind or defending herself. Ashley did admit to People magazine she was nervous for the reunion.

To find out if Ashley attends, tune into the Below Deck Sailing Yacht reunion next week!

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 3 reunion airs Monday, June 27 at 8/7c on Bravo.

‘Below Deck’ Jason Chambers Hints At Alum Return In Season 3

Fans have been dying for an update about  Below Deck Down Under  Season 3. Thanks to Captain Jason Chambers , there is finally news to share. It has been nearly a year since Season 2 aired and the show’s future has been up in the air. Captain Jason has shared what’s next for the spin-off and hinted at the return of a fan-favorite cast member. Keep reading to see what he revealed.

Captain Jason Chambers Confirms Future Of  Down Under

Season 2 of  Below Deck Down Under was intense. Both Captain Jason Chambers and Aesha Scott earned a lot of kudos for how they handled a potential sexual assault.

Fans were left wondering if there would be a Season 3 of the Bravo show . Many believed it might be canceled after Aesha returned to  Below Deck Med for Season 9. She took on the chief stew role, and it wasn’t clear if she was coming back to  Down Under or not.

At the same time, Captain Jason was pushing fans to express their desire for  Below Deck Down Under to return. Whether or not their pleas to Bravo were heard remains unseen. However, the Captain had some good news to share with fans recently.

Captain Jason Chambers took to  Instagram to promote a Bali spa called Gold Dust. Although the post itself didn’t have anything to do with  Below Deck , he revealed some things in the comments.

A fan took the opportunity to ask, “When will we see you back in Below Deck???!” Jason responded, “Soon.”

Another fan asked if he was ever going to go back to yachting. Captain Jason wrote, “You can’t do both unfortunately. As a captain you need to be 100% committed and I’m using this gap in life to be with my daughter and see where the dices land.”

Below Deck Alum Returns For Season 3 Of Spin-Off

That’s not where the Captain’s insights into  Down Under Season 3 ended. Another  Instagram post showed Captain Jason and Chef Tzarina Mace-Ralph together.

“Saw this legend !!!! @captainjchambers joking around since day one!” the caption on the post read. Again, Captain Jason made a few comments, hinting at things going on with Season 3 of the show.

“Below deck down under crew in LA, does this mean our season is getting closer to the screens? Mmm I wonder?” the  Below Deck captain wrote in the comments.

Not only did this hint at Season 3 coming soon, but it confirmed that Tzarina would be returning for Season 3.

Unfortunately, there still isn’t any news about when Season 3 of  Below Deck Down Under will premiere on television. However,  Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 will return to television this fall. So, it is expected that  Down Under will come back in early 2025.

There are some scheduling changes that could impact the premiere though. Last season, Bravo doubled up on  Sailing Yacht  episodes. If that’s the case again this season,  Down Under could premiere sometime this year.

For now, fans can stream  Below Deck Down Under on Peacock.

The Big Picture

• Captain Jason Chambers hinted at the debut of Below Deck Down Under Season 3 on social media.
• Fans are excited for the return of the show, especially after the success of Season 2.
• Chambers previously mentioned challenges with pay and work opportunities outside the show.

Fans have been waiting for an update on Below Deck Down Under . The show began in March of 2022 and Season 2 premiered in July of 2023 . We have yet to get official news on when Season 3 of the reality series would be coming our way but it seems as if our trusted captain gave hints as to when the show would be debuting. Led by Captain Jason Chambers , Below Deck Down Under took Bravo fans to the Great Barrier Reef and navigated their guests through the archipelago to the Queensland coast and all around Australia. Despite the beautiful scenery of the show, it was filled with the same Below Decks drama fans expect.

The show has been on a hiatus though and fans wondered when news would drop for Season 3 of the series. That news is coming in hints from Chambers . Recently, he has been commenting on the Instagram posts of Chef Tzarina Mace-Ralph . Chambers and Mace-Ralph posted a picture together of themselves in Los Angeles and Chambers commented on it, writing "Below deck down under crew in LA, does this mean our season is getting closer to the screens? Mmm I wonder?"

The hint was enough to get fans excited again ( especially since fans loved season 2 ) and one user followed up Chambers' comment by asking on his Instagram posts, "When will we see you back in Below Deck???!" Chambers replied to the fan with a heart emoji, writing "Soon," in response. There has been no official word from Bravo on why Chambers and Mace-Ralph were in Los Angeles or when Season 3 of the series will come out.

Capt. Chambers Has Called Out Bravo's Pay in the Past

Chambers' return to the show was up in the air for fans. Despite the show's success, no one knew whether or not the show would continue or if Chambers would still be the captain . In the past, Chambers made a comment about the pay he got from being on Below Deck Down Under . Captured by Bravohusband on Reddit , Chambers reportedly said " t he show pays virtually nothing until you get a few seasons." In the Reddit post, it also claims that Chambers stated that while working on the show, he cannot find work as a captain outside of it . “I can’t work in between, as captains are full-time. No owner wants a revolving captain.” That fact is one that isn't widely known by Bravo fans. Despite this, he's said that he is "100% committed" to the series.
