Motoryacht mercury (previously known as malibu and kermit).

Mercury is a 50m motoryacht built by the dutch shipyard Amels, and designed by Terence Disdale.

She can accomodate up to 12 guests and 12 crew onboard. No doubt, that should be enough for this new exciting season.

The refit work took two years but was clearly worth it when we look at the result displayed in this second season of the Australian Spin off.

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

Below deck mediterranean season 9 shows captain sandy’s selfish side (she’s inconsiderate), who is below deck mediterranean season 9's charter guest pamela duke (learn about her jewelry & more).

• Gael Cameron joined Below Deck Med with a boyfriend off the yacht.
• Gael introduced herself with a boyfriend at the beginning of the season.
• Gael & her ex broke up in the middle of the charter season.

Gael Cameron joined Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 with a boyfriend, and there have been rumors that he was a fellow franchise alum. The ninth season of the Mediterranean-based reality yachting show spotlighted Aesha Scott’s return after she starred in Below Deck Down Under for two seasons. Alongside Captain Sandy Yawn, the Chief Stew has revamped the show after last season was a letdown. Below Deck Med season 9 hasn’t been smooth sailing, though the new crew has charmed viewers with their entertaining personalities and dramatic moments.

The love triangle between Bri Muller, Elena “Ellie” Dubaich, and Joe Bradley created many conflicts during the charter season. Aesha juggled discourse between the interior team because of their season-long feud, though more drama may emerge when late arrival and new stew Carrie O’Neill joins the crew and seemingly hooks up with the lead deckhand. Nonetheless, Gael’s emerging boatmance with Nathan Gallagher also kept the audience on their toes. At the top of the charter season, she had a boyfriend at home that some have speculated has appeared on a Below Deck spin-off.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.

Gael Joined Below Deck Med Season 9 With A Boyfriend Off The Yacht

Gael had a boyfriend at home at the beginning of season 9.

At the top of the season, Gael introduced herself as a new member of the deck team. Her co-workers were immediately captivated by her beauty, with Nathan vocalizing how attracted he was to the deckhand. However, she quickly revealed she had a boyfriend at the time. She explained they had worked together before and struggled with distance in their relationship that emerges in the yachting industry. As the season progressed, Gael began navigating fights with her boyfriend over their lack of communication . She also started to form a bond with Nathan while they worked together.

Gael & Her Ex Broke Up In The Middle Of The Charter Season

They broke up for numerous reasons.

By the middle of the Below Deck Med season 9 charter season, they decided to call off their relationship. During a dinner with the crew, Gael and her ex broke up over text. He seemingly couldn’t navigate her being far away, working busy days with little time to chat among themselves on the superyacht. Gael admitted in a clip from the Below Deck Med After Show on Bravo ’s YouTube that her ex-boyfriend told her if she left the boat they were working on they would break up, but that he changed his mind at the last minute and said they could “ make it work .”

“Coming on this boat and realizing that he couldn't hold it out for two weeks, let alone six ... I was like, ‘Please just hold out for me. Please be patient with me. Please understand that I can't be on my phone all the time.’”

Having worked in the same industry, Gael wished her ex understood she couldn’t spend a lot of time on the phone with him. Aesha corroborated her concerns, noting there were minimal moments where she had heartfelt conversations with her now-fiance, Scott Dobson. Gael also revealed there had been instances of infidelity on her ex's side in the past, where she saw him messaging someone else after looking through his phone. Ultimately, their relationship wasn’t in the best place when she joined the Below Deck Med season 9 crew , and he couldn't understand why she had to prioritize work.

Despite Speculation, Culver Isn’t Gael’s Ex-Boyfriend

Some fans thought gael dated culver from below deck down under.

There was speculation that Gael’s ex-boyfriend was none other than Culver Bradbury from Below Deck Down Under seasons 1 and 2. Reddit user @Top-Average-8760 posted a thread about the rumor, asking if any other Below Deck fans had heard about the rumor. Most users refuted the claims, pointing out that the show would have highlighted their relationship and “ the producers would have made her FaceTime him if it was.” Plenty of franchise alums have dated one another, and the show has typically always pointed out their relationships.

Most recently, stew Paris Field joined the cast of Below Deck season 11, and Fraser Olender immediately called out her former relationship with deckhand Jake Foulger . Notably, Culver is still on great terms with his Below Deck Down Under co-star Aesha, as the duo recently posed for a selfie on his Instagram in May. The Chief Stew has been vocal in her distaste toward Gael’s ex, and she likely wouldn’t be hanging out with Culver if he was her mystery boyfriend from Below Deck Med season 9.

While there were rumors that Culver from Below Deck Down Under was Gael’s boyfriend while she was on Below Deck Mediterranean , these claims have been put to rest. The production team would have highlighted their relationship in some form or fashion if they were dating while she was filming. It’s unclear who Gael dated during her time on the show, but it wasn’t Culver.

Below Deck Mediterranean airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.

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.

Below Deck Down Under: The Yacht Life

The reality TV series, Below Deck which first premiered in 2013, was recently revived by its excellent spin-off, Below Deck Down Under . The latest spinoff offered viewers an inside look into the opulent world of luxury yachting and the hard-working crew that keeps these vessels afloat. As part of the ever-expanding Below Deck franchise, which includes iterations like Below Deck Mediterranean and Below Deck Sailing Yacht , Below Deck Down Under made its debut on March 17, 2022. The show sets sail in the breathtaking Whitsunday Islands of Australia, adjacent to the iconic Great Barrier Reef.

Below Deck Down Under is currently airing its season 2 on Bravo (season 1 aired on Peacock ) and has the audience glued to their screens! The crew members are seen navigating both the picturesque waters and the intricate dynamics of yacht life. While the cast boasts an interesting blend of personalities, it’s the adventures, challenges, and occasional controversies that truly keep viewers anchored. Recently, Below Deck Down Under has found itself under scrutiny for some serious allegations , putting the spotlight not just on the glamour of the yacht life but also on the very real issues that can emerge below deck. Let’s delve into all the different aspects of the show in more detail.

‘Below Deck Down Under’: Everything You Need To Know About The Crew’s Life

Below Deck Down Under is a show that follows the life of a crew working on a luxury yacht as they cater to the needs of their wealthy guests. So it’s a team trying to deliver impeccable service while tackling their personal issues. The show is set against the pristine backdrop of Australia’s Whitsunday Islands as the crew navigates the challenges of the demanding charter guests above deck and the camaraderie and conflicts below.

The crew’s life is a whirlwind of long hours, quick turnarounds, and little sleep. And it’s all filmed! Plus, heavy drinking is not uncommon on the show — and it’s not just the guests who go for it. Sometimes, it’s the yacht stuff unwinding after their long hours of exhausting work. However, the allure of the yachting industry is undeniable and offers them unparalleled experiences. They explore exotic locations and indulge in rare, off-duty adventures.

How Big is the Yacht on ‘Below Deck Down Under’?

The yacht featured in Below Deck Down Under season 2 is Northern Sun, a Japanese yacht built by Narasaki Shipyard. It measures over 50 meters (approximately 164 feet) in length. Designed with numerous cabins, expansive decks, and state-of-the-art amenities, it provides a grand setting for both guests and crew. Northern Sun’s cruising speed is 10 Knots.

The yacht featured in Below Deck Down Under season 1 (which aired on Peacock) was Thalassa, built by Trinity Yachts. Thalassa, also known as Keri Lee III was 181 ft long. Its cruising speed was 12.5 knots.

Do the Guests on ‘Below Deck Down Under’ Get Paid?

The guests featured on Below Deck Down Under do not get paid to be featured. In some cases and exceptions, however, the guests are offered discounts in exchange for being filmed throughout the six-week filming period. The guests cover their own costs for the complete charter experience (which includes food, other amenities, the cost of the yacht, crew services, etc.). “ Guests really do pay for their charter. ” executive producer Mark Cronin also once told Bravo TV .

How Much Does It Cost to Go on ‘Below Deck’?

Going on a charter tour in one of the Below Deck yachts could cost anywhere between $80,000 per week to as high as $300,000 per week, depending on the yacht. As of 2023, in season 2, the yacht is the vintage Northern Sun and it costs $161,700 per week (plus expenses) during both peak and low seasons. If you’re trying to appear as a guest on the show, the rates could differ — you might get a discount if you know the management. If you wish to apply, you have to go through the production company and the details for it can be found here .

‘Below Deck Down Under’: Recent Controversies Around Unconsented Sexual Advances

The Below Deck Down Under season 2 is currently under intense scrutiny due to serious allegations concerning non-consensual sexual advances involving cast members. After a night of drinking, cast member Luke Jones entered the cabin of an inebriated Margot Sisson and tried to get in bed with her. Minutes later, Laura Bileskalne climbed into Adam Kodra ‘s bed, despite his clear resistance to her advances throughout the season.

Did ‘Below Deck Down Under’ Recently Fire Two Castmates?

The Times reached out to Jones for comments on his dismissal, but he remained silent. However, in the episode detailing the incident, Jones expressed remorse to Captain Jason Chambers , stating, “ I’m sorry. And I’m just so disappointed in myself. ” On the other hand, Bileskalne took to Instagram to address the incident, apologizing to Adam and admitting, “ I did not realize I made him feel uncomfortable and no one should be put in that position. ”

Chief steward Aesha Scott and production staff played a pivotal role in managing the crises and ensuring the safety of Sisson and Kodra. Hesitant to share her perspective due to fears of exploiting the situation — Scott later revealed her heightened senses that night. She emphasized her commitment to ensuring Margot’s safety. Scott’s insight into the events played a significant role in the decisions made by Captain Chambers. The incidents led to the eventual dismissal of both Jones and Bileskalne from the yacht.

Most Memorable Moments of ‘Below Deck Down Under’

The show has recently been in hot water but it can’t be neglected that it was the proactive behavior of the staff and Aesha Scott that helped tackle the situations timely. The adventures on Below Deck Down Under , since the beginning have provided many memorable moments for its viewers. Captain Jason Chambers skillfully managed difficult guests in Green Island and showcasing his expertise when preventing the yacht from crashing into a dock was one. Chef Ryan ‘s exit from M/Y Thalassa was as dramatic as it gets. The constant disagreements between Jamie Sayed and Ben Crawley were just as binding.

The Big Picture

• Captain Jason fired crew members for making unwanted advances, received praise for swift action.
• Captains are known for working with nonprofits and speaking engagements during off-season.
• Season 3 of Below Deck Down Under is being filmed in Seychelles with new transformations.

After a particularly grueling and dark Below Deck Down Under Season 2 , many are curious about what's going on with reality TV star Captain Jason Chambers. Last season, the series took on a tragic and uncomfortable storyline revolving around non-consensual physical contact. Halfway through Season 2, two crew members, bosun Luke Jones and Laura Bileskalne, were caught on camera making unwanted advances toward other crew members. Both instances required outside intervention and led to Captain Jason firing them. In the end, the team received praise for their swift action and the season continued to be an amazing addition to the Below Deck franchise. After the dark turn of events, New Zealander Luka Brunton took over Luke's spot and Jamie Neale took Laura's position.

The rest of the season would follow suit with Below Deck history, and be filled with hookups, arguments, and endless drama to keep viewers satisfied. However, between the response from the storyline and the long wait from Season 2, the possibility of a Season 3 return seemed miniscule. The longer the wait, the more silent the crew became and the harder to believe the series would return. The more extended break between seasons is causing a shift to focus on the crew and what they've been up to. Luckily though, since the season has ended, the popular Captain has stayed occupied while he waits to board the next superyacht. Along with some influential charity work, the Captain has been super busy, and here's what he's been up to.

Follows the crew of a multi million dollar charter boat in the Caribbean.

Jason Chambers Was Working With a Nonprofit

When captains are not at sea, many are known for making public appearances and even volunteering their time. For example, Captain Sandy Yawn is a renowned public speaker who hopes to provide inspiring and courteous offerings of advice. In many of her speeches, she stresses the importance of not taking no for an answer, breaking barriers, and being a woman in a male-dominated industry. It seems that Captain Jason may have similar goals. With the series on hiatus, Captain Jason has kept himself engaged and dedicated as a public servant . One way he has kept occupied during the off-season was through volunteering efforts and working on nonprofit projects, specifically in Indonesia. Recently on Instagram , Captain Jason shared his collaboration efforts with Classroom of Hope , a charity for children's education. The stalwart Captain raised over $80,000, which was enough money to build two new schools in Indonesia.

This 'Below Deck' Couple Was the Bravo Showmance We Deserved

On a network filled with relationship scandals, a budding fling ‘Below Deck’ had the hallmarks of true romance.

In the videos, he can be seen interacting with the children, helping build the schools, and showcasing his pride in philanthropy. Between his efforts and collaboration with Classroom of Hope , Captain Jason made education more accessible for hundreds of young children. While helping third-world countries improve their education is important to the captain, that doesn't seem to be his only mission in Indonesia. His social media posts also highlight his time on conservation and safaris, while also expressing his "weekend mode" as he enjoyed off-charter water adventures. His Instagram also showcased him "rediscovering his heart" by engaging in a Balinese cleansing ritual by a Hindu priest. Ultimately, Captain Jason has become a major role model in the sea and philanthropy world. He's an inspiration to many people as he continues forth with his efforts to improve land and sea.

Captain Jason Hung Out With Scheana Shay From Vanderpump Rules

While being a captain and looking after a crew is a serious and demanding occupation, Jason isn't only about business . He certainly knows how to have fun and enjoy life. The captain showed off his charming personality in the franchise through his witty banter and friendly connection with Aesha Scott . He also showed how much fun he could have through something as small and silly as jumping in the water randomly. However, the Captain also knows how to switch it up and have fun off the superyacht as well. During the break from Season 2, Captain Jason was spotted at Universal Studios.

‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 1 Almost Sank the Series

The first season of 'BDSY' traveled some rough seas.

He wasn't alone though, because alongside him was Vanderpump Rules star and fellow Bravo TV co-star Scheana Shay . Scheana was there with her husband, New Zealander Brock Davies . Having a fellow Australian native was sure to make Jason more comfortable throughout their outing. At Universal, Captain Jason's kids and Scheana's daughter hung together, while she and her husband showed the Captain an amazing time. The post on Instagram is a highlight reel of their gathering, sandwiched between the Captain's adventures in Indonesia. While his time at Universal isn't highlighted on Instagram as much as the rest of his activities, it shows the Captain loves to play just as hard as he works.

Captain Jason Is Most Likely Preparing for Season 3

Aside from hanging out with fellow reality TV stars and volunteering his time, there's one particular Below Deck activity fans would likely be excited for: the return of season 3. While the Captain himself is tightlipped about the upcoming Below Deck Down Under Season 3, Noah Samton , the Senior VP of unscripted current production at NBCUniversal, announced the third season was currently filming. He also teased that Season 3 had a few new transformations underway that were sure to keep fans entertained. Noah's comment could be in reference to the new filming location, which is suspected to be in La Digue, Seychelles. According to the Below Deck subreddit , there have been various sightings of a film crew for an “unnamed boat show.” However, the crew sighted was claimed to have Below Deck franchise apparel.

Additionally, there have been various sightings of possible charter guests . For example, hairdresser Jessica Weldon was found on Instagram with photos tagged with the Seychelles location and a handful of posts on a yacht with a film crew. After a deep dive, her friend's list revealed she followed some of the Below Deck stars, and they followed her back. The same could be said for the founder of Luna Media Group, Nikita Sachdev's Instagram , along with her traveling companions. Along with the confirmation of Season 3 and the rumored sightings of charter guests, various Below Deck stars, such as Harry van Vliet and Chef Tzarina Mace-Ralph, were also believed to be involved with the filming of the new season. So while the Captain may not be giving much away, it might be safe to say that he's been behind the scenes filming for the show as well.

Overall, Season 2 ended almost a year ago. While normally the next season wouldn't take so long to air, that hasn't stopped the captain from being an involved and contributing member of society. It's obvious the Captain cares much about the environment too . In the last year, he's focused his efforts on enjoying life and making the world a better place. However, aside from volunteering his time in Indonesia, he was recently at the Bali Turtle Conservation farm in Balian, West Bali. The conservation was where he released baby Olive Ridley turtles into the sea. He has also been working on creating healthier products like sunscreen to help improve human skin while also boosting the marine ecosystem. In the end, Captain Jason has proven to be a valuable member of society and the Below Deck franchise and his return is highly awaited.

Below Deck Down Under is available to stream on Peacock in the U.S.

Inside the star yacht of Below Deck Down Under season two

Television network Bravo will begin airing season two of Below Deck Down Under on 17 July, a Below Deck spin-off which follows a yacht crew over an eight-week charter season in Australia. This instalment sees Captain Jason Chambers return at the helm, cruising guests around the warm, tropical waters and colourful cays of the near-uninhabited Whitsunday Islands. Making her debut down under is Northern Sun , a Japanese superyacht with an unexpected history. BOAT takes a look inside…

Delivered in 1976 under the name Hokko Maru (“Northern Light”), Northern Sun has lived a full and fascinating life. At 50.8 metres, she was the largest yacht built by Narasaki Shipbuilding at the time and worked as an ice-class research vessel, analysing marine life and ocean currents in the North Japan Sea. The transformation from ship to superyacht came in 2006 when she underwent a two-year refit, courtesy of her new owners.

Northern Sun has the hardy constitution of an explorer, marking a departure from the first season’s white boat Keri Lee III . 

When her current owners undertook renovations, they were intent to elevate her to superyacht standards while still maintaining her distinctive look. Her old windlasses are still visible on the forward deck, the master cabin has retained its original camber and even the engine room looks exactly as it did when she was a research ship. "Looks" being the operative word, of course – she’s had several system upgrades since the 70s.

Interiors include natural materials such as narra and makore wood (commonly known as cherry mahogany). This dark wood furniture and wall panelling give Northern Sun her warm, traditional feel, while the cabins themselves are dotted with the owners’ collection of travel paraphernalia. It makes for an eclectic living space, with indoor sofa seating accented by authentic Persian rugs and the formal dining room and master suite fixed with guild-frame, 19th century oil paintings. Keep an eye out for one of the owners’ most coveted pieces, a 100-year-old ship’s clock which still rings out the two-hour, maritime work shift also known as "the dog watch".

Northern Sun’s main deck is dedicated entirely to entertainment, from the al fresco dining area to the main saloon with its piano and games table. Other leisure highlights include gym equipment, a dedicated library on the lower deck and an outdoor Jacuzzi, surrounded by sun pads and lounge beds. The owners’ addition of a forward seating area during her refit allows for versatile recreation, whether the mood calls for cocktail parties or quiet, waterside contemplation.

The superyacht naturally has impressive stowing capacity, with space for scuba-diving equipment, a waterski and a two-deck-high inflatable water slide. There are also two Laser sailboats, enabling nimbler exploration along Australia’s shallow bays and coral reefs.

The owners spent ten years cruising through Southeast Asia after Northern Sun was refitted. Using the superyacht as a base for adventures, they've scuba-dived in the Andaman Sea, kayaked in the mangrove swamps of Phang Nga Bay and explored some of Indonesia’s most remote fishing islands. In 2015, they decided to put Northern Sun on the charter market, where she quickly became one of the most popular yachts available in Thailand. Now, she’s made her way across the seas to become the breakout star of Below Deck Down Under .

Captain Jason will be joined by returning chief stew Aesha Scott, working alongside a brand-new crew.

Northern Sun is currently listed with Ocean Independence , with a weekly charter starting from $161,700 and an asking price of $15,000,000.

Chefs at Sea! A Look Back at Every 'Below Deck' Yacht Cook from the Bravo Franchise

Every chef ever to appear on Below Deck , Below Deck Mediterranean , Below Deck Sailing Yacht , and  Below Deck Down Under 

Dave Quinn is a Senior Editor for PEOPLE. He has been working at the brand since 2016, and is the author of the No. 1 New York Times best-selling book, Not All Diamonds and Rosé: The Inside Story of the Real Housewives from the People Who Lived It.

Ben Robinson

Below Deck (Seasons 1-4)

Below Deck Mediterranean (Season 1, 4)

Robinson was the O.G. chef on Below Deck, his boastful attitude, killer food, and hot temper setting the template for all of the franchise's chefs to come. During his time on the series, Robinson famously clashed with Chief Stewardess Kate Chastain, the duo's love-hate relationship fueling much of the drama on Below Deck 's early seasons. He left Below Deck after season 2, only to return to the Caribbean in season 3 after chef Leon Walker's exit. He then helped Bravo kick off Below Deck Mediterranean , the second installment into the franchise. Robinson wound up heading back to Below Deck for season 4, and then exiting amid a romance with second stew Emily Warburton-Adams (though the two later split). He last worked in the kitchen on Below Deck Mediterranean season 4, where he came in as a replacement for chef Mila Kolomeitseva. Robinson now makes regular appearances on Below Deck Galley Talk.

Leon Walker

Below Deck (Season 3)

Walker didn't make it through a complete season of Below Deck , exiting with only a few charters left to go. His departure came after a fire started in the galley — though he blamed it on his rival Chastain, Captain Lee Rosbach ultimately pinned it on him. And while Leon may not have lasted until the end, his love of beef cheeks (and his inability to seemingly make anything else but them) lives on as one of Below Deck 's most memorable punchlines.

Below Deck Mediterranean (Seasons 2-3)

Below Deck Sailing Yacht (Season 1)

Glick's talent in the kitchen was never a problem, the California surfer churned out some of the most praised food in the history of the franchise (that is, when he stuck to the preference sheet, as #OnionGate proved). Where Glick struggled? His relationships. In his first season on Below Deck Mediterranean , Glick was involved in a love triangle with Lead Deckhand Malia White — whom he met before the show began, but kept from producers — and Bosun Wesley Walton. She eventually chose Walton, much to Glick's anger (he actually wound up hitting Walton during an intense night out). He mostly stayed out of trouble for his second Med season, but found himself in another crew-mance in Below Deck Sailing Yacht , when he and chief stew Jenna MacGillivray began hooking up. Their relationship didn't last, Glick saying that it was "very, very difficult for him." Viewers, meanwhile, criticized him for his bad attitude and inflated sense of self-worth. After 12 years living and working on the open ocean, Glick declared he was "f---ing over it," telling Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that he was "ready to live his life on land."

Below Deck (Season 5)

Burns' culinary skills kept the guests happy on season 5 of Below Deck . But outside of the galley, the chef wasn't as successful. First, he struck out in love with stew Brianna Adekeye in a disastrous beach date. Then he tried to rekindle his romance with his ex-girlfriend, whom he had broken up before the start of the charter season, but she rejected his advances. At least the charter guests always liked his food?

Adrian Martin

Below Deck (Season 6)

Martin was a breath of fresh air compared to previous chefs, the yoga-loving, meditating, Saint Marten native stayed centered during his days in the galley. But his free-flowing nature had a downside, when sexually charged comments he made towards Laura Betancourt crossed the line. Martin left the show at the end of season after taking a gig in New York City as a private chef.

Mila Kolomeitseva

Below Deck Mediterranean (Season 4)

Perhaps the most controversial chef in Below Deck history, Kolomeitseva was fired by Captian Sandy Yawn during the season's third charter. Kolomeitseva shocked viewers from the beginning of her time on the charter yacht, when she licked raw steak and wanted to serve guests nachos made with jarred salsa and canned corn. She struggled to make pancakes from a box and served canned seafood on the second charter, which led Captain Sandy to take the guests out for their final lunch and put third stewardess Anastasia Surmava — an inexperienced chef — on lead for dinner service. And while it had nothing to do with her firing, Kolomeitseva also made homophobic comments during a night out, leading to no love lost from her crew in her departure. As she left, she said she won't give up cooking. "Of course it makes me feel awful," Kolomeitseva said on the show. "People like me who have big egos sometimes have to be put down to earth a little bit. But it makes me feel like I want to work even harder."

Kevin Dobson

Below Deck (Season 7)

Dobson hit rough seas during his time on Below Deck , thanks to ongoing tensions with Chastain. The two could not seem to get along all season, frustrations between them spilling over when Chastain had Dobson present a birthday cake to guests well after the primary charter guests (and birthday girl) had gone to bed. By the finale party, things took a turn for the worse. The New Zealand native told Chastain he didn't like her and kicked sand in her face. He apologized at the reunion, but didn't return for another season.

Hindrigo "Kiko" Lorran

Below Deck Mediterranean (Season 5)

Lorran made it halfway through season 5 of Below Deck Mediterranean before Captain Sandy made the call to can him. Things started to go downhill for Lorran when he was criticized for his plating and organizational skills. He tried his best to step it up, but fumbled when guests asked for a dinner built around Las Vegas, a place he'd never been and was not familiar with. Chief Stew Hannah Ferrier suggested truffle fries and nachos, which Loran paired with fried chicken and shrimp cocktail. Ultimately, the fried food was a fumble, and Captian Sandy fired him. He did get redemption, though, staying until the end of the charter and impressing the guests with a fabulous dinner. "I made the guests happy in the end," he told BravoTV.com's Daily Dish, after his exit. "I felt great."

Tom Checketts

Checketts was brought in to replace Lorran for the second half of Below Deck Mediterranean 's fifth season. He came in with a connection to the cast, dating White, the show's bosun. Their romance was surely put to the test by Checketts' arrival. From the jump, he was frustrated and flustered, snapping at stewardesses and stressing about provisions. When White could calm him and give him some support in the galley, Checketts' food was mostly always praised by guests. But sadly, her involvement came at her own detriment, leading to conflict between White and Captian Sandy. All in all, Checketts help saved The Wellington crew from disaster, but his relationship with White didn't last much longer. After the season wrapped, the two announced they had gone their separate ways.

Rachel Hargrove

Below Deck (Season 8-Present)

Hargrove's food has earned rave reviews from every charter guest. Even Captain Lee praised her as one of the best yacht chefs he's ever worked with! Originally from Tampa, Florida, Hargrove is predominantly self-taught, though has honed her craft through the years studying and cooking in restaurants all around the world. In the kitchen, she takes no prisoners. And below deck, she's the same way — her outspoken personality and no-nonsense attitude lead to clashes with everyone from First Officer Eddie Lucas to Captain Lee himself, whom she famously cursed at before quitting before a charter in season 8 (she came back the next day, after cooling down).

Natasha De Bourg

Below Deck Sailing Yacht (Season 2)

De Bourg's time on Below Deck Sailing Yacht may be best remembered for #PitaGate, a name hilariously given to the controversy that erupted after she seemingly exaggerated the number of pita bread slices she made for one meal. It caused tension between her and Chief Stewardess Daisy Kelliher, one of the many kitchen-related culinary conflicts the two encountered throughout the season. In the end, they were able to leave the show friends. And Kelliner had the last laugh, starting a podcast called Pita Party with fellow stews Alli Dore and Dani Soares.

Mathew Shea

Below Deck Mediterranean (Season 6)

Shea made a splash from the second he walked into season 6 of Below Deck Mediterranean, the Rhode Island native backing out on the first meal due to a health condition that he later admitted was fueled by anxiety. Drama followed him all season long, though not in the galley, where he consistently produced incredible food (even after burning half his fingers off). Instead, he often butted heads with Chief Stew Katie Flood and feuded with his crew mates — including stew Lexi Wilson, who wound up leaving the show after she told him during an intense argument that his parents "should've aborted you." Since the season wrapped, Shea's continued to have conflict with his costars, calling Captain Sandy at the reunion "one of the worst captains I've ever worked with in my 15 years on boats."

Marcos Spaziani

Below Deck Sailing Yacht (Season 3)

Before stepping on the Parsifal III, Spaziani had been working as a chef for 10 years, after attending culinary school in Venezuela. Cooking a combination of gourmet Venezuelan, Italian, Korean, and American food, Spaziani's culinary creations were mostly well received by charter guests — even if his portions needed to be a little bit bigger. But the thing that set him apart from others? His incredible endurance and dedication to his job, on display when he kept cooking after accidentally knocking his head and scrapping off a layer of his scalp (eww).

Ryan McKeown

Below Deck Down Under (Season 1)

McKeown has all the makings of a classic Below Deck chef; super talented, super hard-working, and super arrogant. The Philadelphia native didn't waste any time clashing with Chief Stewardess Aesha Scott over time maintenance, and quickly let guests know he wouldn't be letting them dictate his menus. "My style of cooking is take the ingredients and let them shine," he said in the premiere episode.

The Untold Truth Of Below Deck Down Under

The " Below Deck" franchise has gone to the Caribbean. It has taken the Mediterranean. It has sailed around Greece and Croatia. And thanks to the fourth iteration of the franchise, it has headed to Australia. Like its predecessors, "Below Deck Down Under" follows a group of yachties as they work and party, and there is no shortage of boozy, boisterous boat-filled drama to keep you afloat. The shows in the "Below Deck" universe are  consistently ranked as some of Bravo's most-watched programs, and the franchise shows no signs of slowing down; "Below Deck Down Under" premiered on Peacock in 2022 and quickly proved there is no such thing as too much "Below Deck." 

"Down Under" follows the tried and true "Below Deck" formula: An attractive crew of seafaring individuals live and work on a souped-up charter yacht for a set number of weeks and cameras catch all of the goings-on. From designing elaborate table settings to planning extravagant meals to navigating dockings, there's plenty of workplace mayhem to be had, as well as a seemingly never-ending stream of interpersonal drama. Strap in, because we are about to get into the untold truth of "Below Deck Down Under."

Aesha Scott wasn't sure she'd come back

Franchise veteran Aesha Scott made her triumphant return to Bravo on "Below Deck Down Under" Season 1, and she continues to bring the same humor that fans fell in love with during "Below Deck Mediterranean" Season 4 and Season 5. On "Down Under," she traded her second stew stripes for the silver stripes of a chief stew. While it's a stressful gig, the New Zealand native was eager to rise to the occasion. As she told  Bravo Insider , "It's just so, so exciting because I think, you know, I'd been second [stew] for a long time... I'm one of those people in life where it's like, if you're too comfortable, then you need to change because you should always be growing and always challenging yourself."

Scott's job title isn't the only major change. As she shared near the top of the first season of "Down Under," the "Below Deck" star is in a committed relationship with boyfriend Scott Dobson ; her days of boat-mances, a la her fling with former "Below Deck: Med" castmate Jack Stirrup, may very well be a thing of the past. 

Though Scott was an immediate fan favorite, her return to the "Below Deck" universe wasn't always a given. As she told ET in 2020, "I think if [Bravo] asked me [to be chief stew], it's definitely something that I would think about ... do feel very checked out of yachting." Thankfully, she's checked back in.

A Below Deck alum told Jason Chambers to join

Standing at the helm of Season 1 of "Below Deck Down Under" is Captain Jason Chambers. The youngest captain to ever be a part of the "Below Deck" franchise, Chambers has logged over 20 years of experience on the water. And we have series alum and fellow Aussie  Hannah Ferrier  to thank for the telegenic captain's involvement in the series. "I reached out to her about the conversations I had with the production team," Chambers shared with Decider , "and she told me: 'You're a great fit for it. Just be yourself and just go and have fun.'" 

While "Below Deck" viewers have watched some chief stews and captains clash in the past, it sure seems like Aesha Scott and Chambers get along swimmingly — partly because he's such a team player. As she shared on Ferrier's " Dear Reality, You're Effed " podcast, Chambers helped out the interior team regularly. "Every extra job that I just could not deal with, he was doing it behind the scenes. And I didn't even ask him," she shared. When Ferrier said he'd be a great fit, she wasn't kidding. 

While the captain is all business when it comes to yachting, he wouldn't say no to any and all future boat-mances. When asked about his romantic life on  "Watch What Happens Live ," Chambers told Andy Cohen he was open to being in a relationship with a stew. We can only imagine what the stack of crew applications looks like.

The crew makes bank

If you're up working hard in some of the most luxurious locations in the world, yachting just might be your calling. So, how much might one rake in as a crew member on a 181-foot yacht like the one on "Below Deck Down Under"?  According to Crewfinders , deckhands and stews on a superyacht of this size can bring in over $60,000 a year, the chief stew and the chef can make as much as $84,000 a year, the bosun at least $66,000, and the captain can earn six figures.

On top of that, there's the whole TV show factor. Former cast member Eddie Lucas made waves when he mentioned money matters to the New York Post in 2022. "While we do get paid better than a normal yachtie, of course, we are still not getting paid what people like the Housewives are making, which is a little frustrating, because they're not really working — they're just going out to dinner and fighting," he stated. Zoinks.

On an episode of "Pop-Off! with James," former deckhand Rhylee Gerber theorized that the constant rotation of crew members each season may have something to do with why the yacht crew is paid less than established "Real Housewives" stars. "If [Lucas] said that, number one, we are paid much, much, much, much, much less than the Housewives, which is crazy because it's Bravo," she said. "It's still a big network. There's still a big production company behind it. They've got the money."

Yes, guests pay to be on the boat

Chartering a fully staffed yacht is expensive no matter how you slice it, and as producer Mark Cronin shared in a Reddit AMA , a primary guest on a "Below Deck" series pays about half of what it'd cost if cameras were not around. So how much can a three-day vacation on a lavish superyacht in some of the most captivating places in the world set a "Below Deck" guest back? While we don't know the exact price of a "Below Deck Down Under" charter, we can develop a guesstimate based on a report by blind item gossip Instagram account DeuxMoi (via Bravo After Thoughts ).

In 2020, DeuxMoi shared a list of details that were reportedly given to "Below Deck Mediterranean" Season 6 guests. "We have two charters that will be 2 nights, 3 days for the discounted price of $40,000. There are 5 charters that are 3 night, 4 days at $45,000," reads the doc. It goes on to confirm travel, food, and beverages are all included in that ticket price.

As for the tip? The guests are expected to cough up at least 15% of the total original cost (i.e., the price before the "Below Deck" discount). However, as Cronin told Bravo's The Daily Dish , the gratuity amount is left up to the guests' discretion. As "Below Deck" viewers know, guest tips do not always live up to expectation. 

Captain Jason Chambers crashed a superyacht

Captain Jason Chambers is known for stealing hearts, yes, but he also made a bit of a name for himself after he crashed a superyacht. The newest "Below Deck "  captain had a titanic fail in Cairns when the 45.6-meter superyacht he was captaining narrowly missed smashing right into a restaurant. In 2019, he was at the wheel when a mechanical failure caused the luxury watercraft to careen into the marina. 

Customers at the neighboring floating restaurant Prawn Star were certainly in for dinner and a show. "It was scary, people were screaming and very frightened. But no one was hurt and that's the most important thing," Prawn Star's manager told ABC at the time. The "Below Deck Down Under" star  explained to 7News Cairns  that a jammed gear caused the collision, and he shut down all engines and did what he could under pressure to avoid injuring any people. Thankfully, the multimillion-dollar yacht only sustained superficial damages after the incident, and more importantly, nobody was injured during the commotion.

The chef was ready to be a villain

A "Below Deck" season isn't complete without the chef and chief stew blowing up on each other, and "Below Deck Down Under" is no different. But based on an interview McKeown gave  Showbiz Cheat Sheet , it sounds like the chef was more than happy to play the role of villain. "So, you know, [production is] going to keep people entertained," he said, "And yeah, I anticipated the hate. I really enjoy it because it's only going to make me go further. So, bring it."

McKeown and Scott butted heads about a number of things, such as plating timing and his relatively simple approach to menu planning. In one especially heated interaction that bubbled up in Episode 6 , she questioned his experience as a yacht chef, and he fired back, "I don't know, how many vacuums have you pushed, how many f**king frying pans did you flip? You stick to vacuums, I'll stick to cooking."

Scott didn't mince words when  Decider  asked about McKeown. "I've dealt with other chefs before who could be really mean, but they were amazing at cooking so I gave them a bit of a pass," she said. "Ryan was not a good chef." However, McKeown believes Scott's to blame for why they started off on the wrong foot. "What was one of the first things she said to me? 'What kind of person — are you cheffy?' So, I'm pretty sure arrogance started with her," he said in Bravo's The Daily Dish .

Bosun Jamie Sayed has worn many hats

Before landing gigs on superyachts and launching his reality television debut, Jamie Sayed built up quite an intense resume. The "Below Deck Down Under" bosun told Decider that he worked as a police officer, lifeguard, and soldier before he got into the yachting industry. 

For now, you can keep up with Sayed thanks to his very own podcast called " Wake Up With Jamie ." "I was at a bar sitting by myself in Panama, and I noticed some people nearby who were telling stories. I realized that every single person has a story," he recalled to Decider. "So, I thought why don't I create a podcast and start interviewing random people and ask them to share their stories." And as for what else the future may hold for the bosun? It sounds like the sky's the limit — literally. As he told Bravo's The Daily Dish , he hopes not only to become a licensed helicopter pilot, but get his own chopper.

There isn't much privacy on Below Deck

So what do "Below Deck Down Under" cast members have to sacrifice to call some of the most stunning locations in the world their "office"? Well, according to "Below Deck Mediterranean" alum Jessica Moore, most of your personal space goes right out the porthole, for starters. In an interview with In Touch , Moore dished on just how limited alone time is onboard the megayachts. "There's zero privacy unless you're going to the restroom." But even then the bathroom isn't altogether safe. As  The New York Times noted in a 2020 feature about the series, the camera crew may still keep tabs on cast members when they are in the toilet — especially if they aren't alone. 

Understandably, this level of surveillance can take some getting used to, but as "Below Deck Down Under" star Captain Jason Chambers told Distractify , it's easy to forget you're on a TV show when you're busy, you know, keeping a giant boat running. 

In Season 3 of "Below Deck," things changed in a big way when longtime boson Eddie Lucas and stew Rocky Dakota turned the ship's laundry room into, to borrow a phrase from "Jersey Shore," the smush room. "Below Deck" star Captain Lee Rosbach told Cosmopolitan , "Well, we never used to have cameras in [the laundry room], because, let's face it, there's not a lot of action in there... until that season. Now we have cameras in the laundry room. The show morphs each year." Big "Below Deck" Brother is always watching. 

There's a lot of work behind the scenes

There's a lot more to "Below Deck" than meets the eye; not unlike the yacht itself, the series is a well-oiled machine. As noted in Boat International , the show's production team works around the clock. Longtime series EP Tania Hamidi explained to the outlet, "The camera crew are running around and hiding from each other while getting all the action." The behind-the-scenes team may be bigger than you'd expect. According to  The New York Times , around 50 hotel rooms are booked during filming to accommodate the crew. 

The production crew has a lot of plates to spin, including keeping tabs on little details. As bosun Eddie Lucas recalled to Cosmopolitan , he got a slap on the wrist after he wound up with a cut on his head from horsing around with Ben Robinson between takes. "I'm pretty sure I had a bald spot and it was bleeding, but we were cracking up about it," said Lucas. "We got yelled at by production." As the magazine pointed out, the sudden change to Lucas' appearance could potentially throw off continuity when it came time to edit the episodes together.  

Though viewers don't really get to see the yacht crew and the production crew interact much, it sure sounds like there's a strong bond there. As "Below Deck Down Under" star Aesha Scott told E! News , the production team was one of the main reasons why she was excited to return to "Below Deck."

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.

Ranking Every ‘Below Deck’ Show From Most to Least Memorable: Mediterranean, Adventure and More

Bravo’s Below Deck series has inspired several spinoffs — but not every one has left an impression.

Below Deck , which debuted on Bravo in 2013, introduced viewers to various crew members who reside and work on a superyacht during charter season. The original series quickly became a major success for the network, spawning spinoffs that include Below Deck Mediterranean, Below Deck Sailing Yacht, Below Deck Down Under and Below Deck Adventure .

The show has since become an example of Bravo’s rare all-year long programming with a Below Deck series airing new episodes at any given moment. While most of the cast has changed from season to season, viewers have gotten invested in some of the mainstays , which are usually the captains and the chief stews or bosuns.

However, not every show has stuck with fans the exact same way. Certain iterations didn’t last longer than a season while others have become more memorable than the OG Below Deck show.

Keep scrolling to see Us ‘ ranking of the Below Deck shows — in order from most to least memorable.

1) ‘Below Deck Mediterranean’

When some of Us weren’t looking, Below Deck Mediterranean surprisingly became the backbone of the franchise that earned it first place on this list . A large part of that is Captain Sandy Yawn , who for better or for worse has gotten viewers reinvigorated about Below Deck . It takes a special kind of captain to not always make decisions everyone likes but that keeps fans coming back for more.

Sandy’s priority is being a good captain but somewhere along the way she became Below Deck gold. Everything else is just icing on the cake when Sandy is at the center of every season in the Mediterranean.

2) ‘Below Deck’

The original show paved the way for every other iteration to find its place on Bravo. Without Below Deck — and Captain Lee Rosbach — fans wouldn’t know just how compelling drama on the high seas can actually be.

One reason why Below Deck isn’t at the very top is tied to the show’s decision to fix what wasn’t broken. Captain Lee was the face of the franchise — so it wasn’t easy to say goodbye when he was replaced following a decade on Below Deck . The switch came several seasons after chief stew Kate Chastain left and it was too much change at once for some of Us .

3) ‘below deck sailing yacht’.

Speaking of shows overshadowed by controversy, Below Deck Sailing Yacht had it all when it originally premiered on Bravo in 2020 . Paternity scandals, love triangles and Below Deck alums that overstayed their welcome by making the audience turn on them again.

Captain Glenn Shephard confidently steered Below Deck Sailing Yacht into a successful future but other factors ultimately got in the way.

First of all, Daisy Kelliher ‘s messy feelings for Colin Macrae and Gary King sounded like good reality TV on paper but it wasn’t as interesting on screen. The trio actually made it harder to come back around each week because it was exhausting to see them hash out their confusing issues.

Season 4 wrapped up with the promise of more episodes before Gary made headlines for his sexual misconduct scandal. He has maintained his innocence and no official statement has been given on the future of the show but Below Deck Sailing Yacht has yet to release any news about another season since the drama.

4) ‘Below Deck Down Under’

The spinoff set in Australia should have been a slam dunk with Bravo’s favorite hottie Captain Jason Chambers and fan-favorite chief stew Aesha Scott by his side. However, Below Deck Down Under initially struggled because it was premiering on Peacock instead of Bravo meaning viewers didn’t know to look for a new show.

Season 2 was what put Below Deck Down Under on the map but not for the reason anyone was hoping. A shocking consent scandal halfway through the season resulted in Luke Jones and Laura Bileskaline getting fired from the boat , which Below Deck Down Under was applauded for as new episodes continued to cover the aftermath.

Despite the fact that Jason and Aesha received praise for how they handled the situation , there has been no news about the show’s future. It is possible that the drama overshadowed the show itself — and not in a good way.

5) ‘below deck adventure’.

The fourth spinoff was meant to be the most action-packed as guests signed up for thrill-seeking activities along the Norwegian Fjords. After premiering in November 2022, Below Deck Adventure failed to find an audience week to week and subsequently faded out of everyone’s mind.

Bravo never announced the show’s cancellation but it’s probably safe to assume that not many fans were asking for a status update. Instead, Captain Kerry Titheradge was moved to Below Deck and everyone forgot the first failed Below Deck spinoff series.

About below deck down under.

Captain Jason and Chief Stew Aesha reunite for an unforgettable, full-throttle charter season with a lively new crew and wild guests in the stunning waters of Cairns, Australia – the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef.   

Jason is at the helm of the vintage M/Y Northern Sun, where he navigates tumultuous crew dynamics and unprecedented shake-ups throughout the season. Each charter includes nonstop adventure and breathtaking underwater sight-sea-ing, but unruly guests break Jason’s rules, putting their holiday in jeopardy. Now a more seasoned leader, Aesha takes on some of the biggest obstacles of her career while looking out for the crew’s well-being. Mouth-watering menus and flavorful spreads delight the guests, but frustrations simmer between Chef Tzarina and Jason when he assists in the galley.  

Initially understaffed, the deckhands make costly errors as they struggle to find their stride on the unpredictable, aging vessel. The interior experiences smooth sailing until a clash of work styles creates a rift between the stews. Unexpected newcomers rock the boat throughout the season, including a shocking franchise crossover with the arrival of a polarizing familiar face.

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

F ans 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.
