Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3: next episode, trailer, cast and everything we know

Bravo’s Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 is underway and the only thing calm may be the water.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 is here, and Captain Glenn Shephard is back to balancing the demands of vacationers with the drama of his crew. And let’s face it, in most instances, the baggage of his crew far outweighs the luggage of any guest. 

This season takes the show to the waters surrounding Menorca, Spain. The breathtaking views only serve as momentary interruptions to the hookups, the confrontations, the injuries and the occasional emergencies of the new season. Given the interesting dynamic that already exists between returning crew members like Daisy Kelliher and Gary King, the addition of a new chef, new stews and new deckhands make sailing anything but smooth aboard the Parsifal III.

Here’s what we know about Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3. 

When is the next Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 episode?  

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 premiered on Monday, February 21. New episodes continue to air on Mondays at 8 pm ET/PT on Bravo TV in the US. Episodes are available the next day in the UK on Hayu , which can be included as part of a Prime Video subscription. Additionally, Peacock via Sky TV or NOW TV also offers next-day streaming for Bravo content. 

Below Deck Sailing Yacht is back with the first part of the season 3 reunion airing on Monday, June 27, at 8 pm ET/PT on Bravo. After a tumultuous season full of drama and love triangles, it will be interesting to see what the cast has to say to one another when they face off. 

By the way, have you read why fans are grossed out by Ashely's grilled cheese feast ? 

What happens on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3? 

Viewers of Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 2 will recall that the last time the crew was together, first mate Gary King was involved in a messy love triangle with deckhand Sydney Zaruba and stew Alli Dore. While fans of the show won’t have to worry about seeing King in a continuation of that love saga, based on the trailer, King will again find himself entangled in a romance. It appears he entangles with chief stew Daisy Kelliher of all people. While the two appeared to make amends at last year’s reunion after feuding all season 2, no one expected the two to be locking lips. 

Additionally, it should be noted that Below Deck Sailing Yacht is done with love triangles, as Bravo TV teases this season fans can expect to see a “twisted love pentagon.” More may not turn out to be merrier in this case.  

Fans of the show will also remember that Captain Glenn Shephard and his crew were involved in an accident during season 2 . Season 3 shows how Captain Shephard has been able to bounce back from the incident while also trying to avoid another potentially disastrous event.  

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 cast 

The Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 includes returning crew Captain Glenn Shephard, chief stew Daisy Kelliher, chief engineer Colin MacRae and first mate Gary King. These members are joined by chef Marcos Spaziani, second stew Gabriela Barragan, third stew Ashley Marti, as well as deckhands Kelsie Goglia and Tom Pearson.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 looks like it’s not light on the conflict or surprised hookups.  

For those needing more details about that kiss between Gary and Daisy, hear from Daisy herself as she provides a little more insight on their involvement.

Who's leaving Below Deck Sailing Yacht?

It looks like everyone's favorite Below Deck chef is calling it quits. Marcos Spaziani recently took to Twitter to announce that he has no plans on returning for another season. 

I want to thank everyone for the big support and great comments. I never thought in my life I would bring so much inspiration to so many ppl and for that I’m very grateful and also blessed! But I can’t go back to the next season. #BelowDeckSailingYacht #belowdecksailing pic.twitter.com/CLTmtLV7yP June 1, 2022

On Below Deck Sailing Yacht , chef Marcos Spaziani has impressed diners aboard the Parsifal III with his culinary skills, but you won’t need to charter a boat if you want to try his food in real life.

The Venezuelan-born Spaziani and fellow chef Louis Huh have opened a restaurant inside the O Hotel in downtown Los Angeles called Marlou, which offers a brunch and dinner menu seven days a week. Marlou, which is a combination of the two chefs’ names, is not the pair’s first food venture together, they started out running a food truck called ML Eats , later opening Marlou in March, 2022.

The menu at Marlou features brunch classics like avocado toast and eggs Benedict, as well as more refined fare like ceviche tostadas and vongole pasta, and the dinner menu includes everything from a shareable rib-eye steak to gnocchi with bone marrow.

You can follow Marcos ( @chefmarcospaziani and his restaurant Marlou ( @Marlou.la ) on Instagram to see what else is cooking when he’s not busy on the boat.

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.

below deck sailing yacht season 3 chef

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.

Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher Unpacks ‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’ Season 3 Ahead of Finale

Daisy Kelliher in Below Deck Sailing Yacht - Season 3

Daisy Kelliher started Season 3 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht with the mindset that she wasn’t going to take any “you know what” from anyone. That proved challenging for the chief stew as she ventured through turbulent waters aboard Parsifal III. 

The luck of the Irish wasn’t always smiling on Kelliher as she managed professional and personal conflicts within her department, initially between second stew Gabriela Barragan and third stew Ashley Marti. That was until the environment was too much for Barragan, which led to Scarlett Bentley filling the position as a junior stew. 

Adding to the drama was first mate Gary King , whose flirty ways didn’t make things any easier. With wedding bells ringing for guests on the final charter and the season finale on the horizon, we caught up with Daisy to unpack what we’ve seen so far and to get some burning questions answered. 

Pretty crazy that the crew had to plan for a wedding with so little time.

Daisy Kelliher: It was definitely a lot. At the same time, I’ve been doing this for 10 years, so I was kind of like, “Whatever, we’re going to either do it or not.” I’ve reached a point in my career where stressing about it won’t help. I have confidence. We can only do what we can do within 24 hours, but it turned out to be pretty incredible. 

Gary was at the center of a lot of the issues you faced in your department. Looking back, how difficult was that?

I think I came in pretty confident and went in with a way I wanted to handle everything. It did not work. People are going to do what they are going to do. The Gary part was very difficult for me because I feel like I really pushed his support away last season. I tried to take a different approach with him this time. I tried to be softer. It didn’t seem like either approach worked. It was a massive struggle within my team, but it was a great learning curve and growth for me. Me and Gary, I think had a better relationship this season. It’s not all Gary. It’s the girls too. Work-wise the girls were incredible, but it wasn’t about work all the time.

Do you feel like you could have done anything differently to prevent Gabriela from leaving mid-season?

I see the comments. I know a lot of people feel it was my problem or issue with Gabriela crumbling. I don’t agree with that. I stand by the fact I did my absolute best. Gabriela is the same age as me. I think it was a lot in her head. Someone may be a bit paranoid or feel that everyone is against them, but there is not much I can say or do. It was a personal inner growth she needed to work on. 

Captain Glenn Shephard Talks Tense Situation in 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 3

Captain Glenn Shephard Talks Tense Situation in 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 3

You certainly had your share of difficult charter guests. Erica Rose came back. Then you had a very demanding charter with Dr. Kim Nichols. How was it reliving these experiences?

Nobody believes me, but it was actually worse in real life than on the edited, compressed [version]. People experienced that for an hour. We got a full three days of it. Rewatching it was funny. They are not awful people. Everyone has a good heart. Them screaming my name as I ran around, maybe they didn’t realize the impact. I’m a human as well. I don’t know how they felt watching. I look back and laugh because I can’t believe I lived through it and that happened. It was all a bit surreal. 

Ashley felt she should have been higher up on the stew hierarchy. It came up again when Scarlett came on board and you decided to make both junior stews. Did it make you rethink having a second and third stew?

I think it was important for me to show the girls we are a team. I did try to explain to Ashley, which didn’t get aired, that in the yachting industry the only reason we have a second stew is to have a platform to move forward. It’s motivational, but it’s not there to boss people around or be above someone else. It was important to me that she understood that by the end of the season. It massively made me think about what I’m going to do next time. Maybe I’ll make everyone a junior stew. 

When it comes to your relationship with Gary, everyone seems to chime in including Captain Glenn Shephard . What do you make of the infatuation between you two?

I knew at the time during the season that my big storyline was going to be me and Gary. I very much predicted what story was going to be told. The people behind the scenes explained that the chemistry between us was so intense. The whole boat could feel it. I was prepared for what was going to happen. I was surprised with how obsessed everyone is with us being a couple. I thought everyone would be against it. We are just friends. I hate to tell everyone that, but there is nothing more to it. Just very flirtatious. 

For now. Never say never. Last year there was no way I would have said I was going to kiss him. So that was surprising. 

Do you feel seeing him flirting with all the girls was the turnoff?

Massively. I was the first girl in the first season he hit on. It didn’t air, but I brushed him off straight away. Other people commented saying since I didn’t give him that attention, he looked for it elsewhere. I thought that was an interesting point. Fair enough, but as soon as he went off with Sydney [Zaruba] and Alli [Dore] and now Ashley and Gabriela — yeah, maybe things would have ended differently if he continued to pursue me, but he didn’t. We’ll never know. 

How would you sum up the season?

I thought it was hard to top season 2 because so much happened. This season has been such a roller coaster of emotions. So much happened in season 3. For me, it was a lot of ups and downs. Like last season, the aim for me was to come out on a high with a strong team and loving friendship. It was a massive success. That’s the fun in the show, having the audience come with us. There were points where maybe they thought, “Are we going to make it? Is the boat going to make it?” We finish on a big high, which you will see in the finale. 

What can we expect from the reunion?

I think people took accountability in the reunion. It’s good to talk about the incidents during the season, but it was all good. I think we’re all still talking to each other.

Who are the Below Deck Sailing Yacht chefs?

Adam Glick on Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 1.

Who are the Below Deck Sailing Yacht chefs? That question has become one hot topic thanks to a comment Colin MacRae made on the show.

Last night’s episode featured the crew’s day off, where the yachties got beyond messy, including Colin during his chat with chef Ileisha Dell.

This resulted in Ileisha crying in the bathroom and fans buzzing about all the Below Deck Sailing Yacht chefs.

There have only been four seasons of the Below Deck Sailing Yacht, so not many chefs have graced the Parsifal III galley.

Let’s have a little refresher on Below Deck Sailing Yacht chefs.

Season 1 chef Adam Glick

Below Deck Med alum Adam Glick helped kick off the sailing show, proving some things never change in the franchise. Adam immediately hooked up with stew Jenna MacGillivray, causing boring drama that did not impress viewers.

They were too busy flirting to pay attention to their jobs. The boatmance also caused them to argue a lot, putting the rest of the crew in an awkward position.

Adam and Jenna left Parsifal III together, but things had fizzled out by the reunion. After two seasons on Below Deck Med and one on Below Deck Sailing Yacht declared at the reunion he was done with reality TV.

These days he’s focused on building his brand, Adventure Chef, which focuses on cooking outside.

Season 2 chef Natasha De Bourg

The second season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht brought a much-needed show revamp. Chef Natasha De Bourg took over the galley and was determined to do things her way.

Natasha will forever be remembered for Pita Gate and her several egg mishaps on the show. She also went toe to toe with chef stew Daisy Kelliher a lot. However, the chef was definitely a nice change of pace from Adam.

After her stint on Below Deck Sailing Yacht, Natasha has kept busy with her own cooking show, Cooking with The Classy Chef, airing on Flow TV. Natasha also keeps busy working on her band via social media.

Season 3 chef Marcos Spaziani

There’s no question that chef Marcos has been the fan favorite in the sailing franchise. Marcos not only killed it in the galley with his exquisite food, his bromance with Colin and Gary King made him even more adored. They even called themselves the giggle crew.

Not that Marcos didn’t bring drama. Marcos and stew Gabriela Barragan clashed a lot, having several heated moments on the show.

Marcos has been killing it since he appeared on Below Deck Sailing Yacht, opening two restaurants in Los Angeles where many Below Deck reunions took place. The chef recently shocked fans with news of their closing as he begins a new venture.

Ileisha is the current chef on the show, and her story’s still playing out. What we do know is that she was deeply offended by Colin’s favoritism of chef Marcos and we gotta say she’s not wrong.

There you have it, folks a look at all the Below Deck Sailing Yacht chefs in order of the season. If we were to rank them, though, from best to worst, it would go Marcos, Natasha, and Adam so far.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo.

The 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 3 Trailer Is Here: Watch!

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Glen Shepard

Season 3 of the series is returning Monday, Feb. 21.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht is back for season 3 with new and familiar faces and sea-level chaos! In the latest trailer for the hit Bravo series, Captain Glenn Shephard is back on the epic Parsifal III,  sailing across the beautiful waters in Menorca, Spain.

“When you go sailing, you never really know what the conditions are going to be like,” Captain Shephard says at the beginning of the trailer before the preview of the chaos aboard the luxury yacht plays out.  

Returning this season are chief stew Daisy Kelliher, chief engineer Colin MacRae and first mate Gary King. Joining the vets on board the yacht are a few new faces, chef Marcos Spaziani, second stew Gabriela Barragan, third stew Ashley Marti, and deckhands Kelsie Goglia and Tom Pearson. 

From the looks of it, this season is set to bring all the action and drama as the crew manages to navigate various hookups (and makeout sessions), power struggles, injuries and a storm that looks like it could take the boat underwater.  

In the new trailer, we see that Tom, who isn’t ashamed of showing off his self-proclaimed “dad bod,” is bringing the body shots, and Gabriela, who braves the elements and topples over in the hot tub, is bringing the fun. Meanwhile, Gary is bringing the romance and a “striptease,” and Daisy is all about a fabulous party -- all while managing the expectations of the guests who board the yacht. 

However, the season isn’t going to be without some serious drama as the yacht faces strong winds and a storm that could possibly send it underwater, and Chef Marcos gets a severe head injury that could leave the crew without a head chef.  

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 premieres Monday, Feb. 21 at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.

The Best Seasons in the Below Deck Franchise

  • Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

If you’ve never watched the Below Deck series on Bravo , what are you even doing with your life? I mean, you’re probably out there working hard, or just like, living your life, being a solid human. Even still, if you haven’t checked out Below Deck, Below Deck Mediterranean , Below Deck Sailing Yacht , Below Deck Down Under , or even that one season of Below Deck Adventure , then just know one thing; you’re missing out. No but really, you are.

That said, sometime in your near future, you might just find yourself in need of a great show to binge. If so, you should consider dipping your toes into this ever-expanding nautical franchise , because it’s a good one. To make sure that you’re not wasting your time, we’ll even help you out a bit. Start with these three seasons of BD first, as they’re each truly the best of the best that this franchise has to offer.

Below Deck Season 3

The casting department for BD Season 3 deserves a raise. To start, Chef Leon Walker loathed Chief Stew Kate Chastain . When he wasn’t making beef cheeks, he was throwing her under the bus to Captain Lee Rosbach . After a kitchen fire, Leon left the boat, which saddened his eccentric sidekick , stewardess Rocky Dakota .

In defense of her fired pal, Rocky stripped down and jumped overboard, only to be returned by a neighboring tender. In other scenes, this stew was often in the laundry room, hooking up with the “taken” Eddie Lucas . Insert production, who brilliantly added in a running gag of soap churning in a washing machine. At this early-on point, camera placements were limited, but their trysts changed this, and now, cameras are everywhere onboard.

Additionally, many fun scenes transpired between Amy Johnson , Connie Arias , Rocky, and Kate, especially when whipped-cream was involved. Likewise, Rocky’s grenadine oysters and salads with Oreo sprinkles will leave you in stitches. Or vomiting, like one of the guests did after eating this meal. Luckily, Chef Ben Robinson boarded, sending Rocky back to the laundry room to continue singing about “ironing the Captain’s shorts.”

This season also had some negative drama. When Eddie and Rocky’s affair came out, Eddie chose denial, leaving Rocky to feel alone, which sucked. Luckily, the viewers put Eddie in the hot seat, and he stepped away from this series for several seasons. Overall, Below Deck Season 3 is one of the best around, and if you are anything like us, you’ll watch it on repeat.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 1 was a bust. Luckily, BDSY Season 2 saved this spin-off, and we’re thankful, because it’s now one of our favorites . However, due to COVID restrictions, both Seasons 2 and 3 lacked various elements, so this series didn’t really hit its full stride until Season 4 . To note, in all three of these later seasons, the viewers are (mostly) gifted with this series three staple cast members, Daisy Kelliher , Gary King , and Colin MacRae .

Out of them all, Season 4 is our favorite, as it’s a whirlwind, with a side of fun. To recap, Colin was single for the first time ever, and he and Daisy started up a boatmance. Later on, we learned that they had actually hooked up prior to filming. Shockingly, so had Daisy and Gary.

Outside of this drama, Season 4 had amazing interior and exterior departments. You’ll love watching these crew members bond, as each were kind and lovable, while also highly skilled in their various roles. Chef Ileisha Dell is the calmest chef in this entire franchise, and she’s also a former circus contortionist, which is fun. Furthermore, Alex Propson gave us the now infamous scene of his drunkenly placed water bottle on Captain Glenn Shephard ’s forehead, which will make you laugh, unless you hate humor.

To note, Gary’s playboy ways, which allegedly go far beyond flirtations, have since made headlines. Therefore, Season 5 is now hanging in the balance, and only time will tell how this spin-off fares. Even still, after watching Below Deck Season 3, we recommend that you watch the next greatest thing, which is Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4. Overall, you’ll love this cast, mostly, and that’s a rare thing to be said for this franchise.

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 4

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 4 had a mostly fun, kind cast. In turn, the interior department saw minimal drama unfolding. Instead, Hannah Ferrier , Aesha Scott , and Anastasia Surmava developed a tight friendship. These girls are still close today.

Also, a sweet boatmance formed between the equally hysterical Jack Stirrup and Aesha. In addition, a series favorite returned in Colin Macy-O’Toole , who we want to protect and hug forever. Now, if you’re thinking that this season sounds too loving and drama-free (aka boring), think again. Three different Chefs roll through, so there’s definitely drama on the high seas.

The first one, Mila Kolomeitseva , the “absolute oxygen thief,” was fired after Episode 5, because she (likely) lied on her resume, licked steaks, and couldn’t make nachos. With a culinary background in tow, Anastasia stepped up to help, which saw June Foster coming onboard to assist in the interior department. Enter Hannah’s infamous line of “June, June, Hannah” here.

Finally, Chef Ben returned to save the day, again. However, this led to June’s ousting, as Anastasia had to step back down to her stew role. Sweet baby Colin tried to fall on the sword though, taking June’s firing for the team, until Captain Sandy Yawn stepped in, saying nope.

Sadly, this season of BDM was one of the last fun-loving seasons for this series. So, if you are looking for something fun to watch, we cannot recommend Season 4 enough , as it’s one of the best in the Below Deck franchise.

Here's Where the Cast of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 3 Is Now

Did the drama continue?

below deck sailing yacht season 3

Since it debuted back in 2020, Bravo’s spin-off Below Deck Sailing Yacht has certainly delivered some of the most dramatic feuds and steamy boatmances, and it looks as if Season 3 is no different.

While Captain Glenn Shephard is returning to take the lead of the Parsifal III, there’s a lot that’s changed, including a brand new crew and filming location. The cast will be sailing through the stunning waters of Menorca, Spain, but they’ll definitely be hitting some rocky moments, especially when it comes to returning crew members Gary and Daisy’s love-hate romance.

Well, it seems as if there’s more to come as Bravo teases one of the most unexpected crew hookups in Below Deck history. Say what? With so much having happened during the cast’s filming last summer, what exactly have they been up to since?

Captain Glenn Shephard

Daisy kelliher - chief stew.

When Season 3 wrapped, Daisy Kelliher, who returned aboard the Parsifal III as chief stew, took some much-needed vacation time. Kelliher hit up Antigua in the Caribbean , which is where she rang in the New Year and has remained since filming. Considering her ongoing love-hate relationship with fellow castmate Gary King, Daisy remains single for the time being, but she’s certainly not fallen out of love with traveling. Despite appearing to be living the life so many wish they could, Daisy revealed she’s been suffering from severe separation anxiety as she shared just how hectic and demanding her line of work could be in a February 13, 2022 post on Instagram

Gary King - First Officer

Being involved in Bravo drama is nothing new for Gary, especially after his steamy season with Daisy. Well, after wrapping up season three in Menorca, Gary took some time off to reunite with his family; sharing an adorable photo of him and his niece, Ava , on Instagram. The Bravo star is currently in St. Lucia , soaking up the sun, but he hasn’t managed to escape the drama. After sharing a kiss with Daisy Kelliher in the most recent season three trailer, fans have been wondering if he and Daisy are an item. Well, despite the rumors, Gary and Daisy aren’t dating, after confirming to E! News that the two are “just friends.”

Colin McRae - Chief Engineer

Colin McRae has returned to his old stomping grounds aboard the Parsifal III, and considering his love for sailing, fans aren’t surprised to see the Bravo star back on their screens. Since wrapping up last summer’s filming, it didn't take too much time before Colin and fellow Chief Stew Daisy reunited back in December. Since then, Colin has given most of his time to his YouTube channel, Sailing Parlay , which features an array of videos showcasing his sailing adventures. Things are clearly going well for Colin’s online presence, considering he was rewarded with a YouTube 100,000 subscriber count plaque back on February 6. "It has been 4 years of VERY hard work, possibly the hardest of any sailing channel out there that I know of so far, and to reach this milestone is so gratifying for us,” he wrote on Instagram.

Marcos Spaziani - Chef

Say hello to Bravo’s newest chef, Marcos Spaziani. The Venezuela native has been in the industry for over 10 years and is bringing his culinary expertise to the waters of Menorca. It didn’t take much time for Marcos to make a name for himself following season three of Below Deck Sailing Yacht . Spaziani is currently settled in California and has decided to open up his very own restaurant in Koreatown, Los Angeles. Marcos and fellow chef Louis Huh have been working diligently on their newest business venture, ML Eats LA .

Gabriela Barragan - 2nd Stew

Gabriela Barragan reigns from San Diego and while she’s new to the Below Deck crew, she is certainly no stranger to yachting . Barragan has worked as both a stewardess and a deckhand over the course of the last two years and has continued her yachtie life after filming season three of Sailing Yacht . Gabriela spent January and February working a yacht in St. Thomas. After living and working the island life, Gabriela took to Instagram to share that all of her “ wildest dreams are coming true ,” and considering she’s spending her days sailing through crystal clear waters, we don’t blame her.

Ashley Marti - 3rd Stew

Ashley Marti is making her Below Deck Sailing Yacht debut, and she’s relatively new to the industry. Marti first began working on yachts at the start of the pandemic. Although she reigns from New York , Marti is currently a West Coast gal as she takes in the Los Angeles sun alongside a few of her castmates. Since wrapping up Season 3, Ashley traveled through the United States and the Bahamas and is adamant about returning back aboard the Parsifal III, so Bravo fans just might be seeing more of her in the future.

Kelsi Goglia - Deckhand

Kelsi Goglia is making her Bravo debut this season of Sailing Yacht. After catching the travel bug following a trip to Croatia, Kelsi has been a yachtie ever since, and it doesn’t look like she’s turning back any time soon. She currently resides in San Diego, California, and loves herself some travel, as most Below Deck crew members do. While her romantic life remains a mystery, it’s clear she’s too busy roaming the world to settle down just yet.

Tom Pearson - Deckhand

Growing up on a lake , Tom Pearson is no stranger to the water, but he’s brand new to the Bravo family. The Below Deck Sailing Yacht deckhand was spotted getting his boatmance on, making us all wonder if he’ll be headed toward hot waters. Well, it seems as if Pearson remains single, but his life is anything but boring. After returning home to Windermere, England, Tom has kept busy surfing through the British waters but has taken quite a liking to his new image. The Bravo star has been attending a number of events following his newfound fame, including his most recent appearance in London, England for the launch of a new app on January 20.

Below deck: what to know about chef marcos spaziani's restaurant marlou.

BDSY fans love watching Chef Marcos Spaziani create delicious, mouthwatering food. They can now try his creations at his DTLA restaurant Marlou.

Chef Marcos Spaziani impressed Below Deck Sailing Yacht viewers with his amazing meals, and fans can now try his food at his new restaurant Marlou. Charter guests pay a boatload of money for the Parsifal III sailing experience, and fine dining is one of the main attractions. Along with top-quality service, the food is the main determinant of the crew tip at the end of a charter. When the crew obtains the guests’ preference sheet, it is up to the chief stew and chef to make sure they have everything they ask for.

When guests are unhappy with the quality of the food, they are quick to let the staff know. Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 charter guest Erica Rose’s husband Charles Sanders went on a rampage over his omelet, yelling about how there were tomatoes in it. However, Marcos just calmly took it in stride and knew that there was no pleasing some people. Another group of charter guests requested a ten-course dinner for eight guests. Marcos was a bit taken aback at having to make eighty plates of food by himself, but he was able to pull it off and wowed the guests.

Marcos' fans can now taste his food at his restaurant Marlou, which is located in downtown Los Angeles, California. Marcos opened the restaurant with fellow chef Louis Huh, who has competed on Food Network. The two chefs have worked together before and created ML Eats, which offers private chef events, catering, and a food truck. Their food became so popular that Marcos and Louis decided to open a brick-and-mortar restaurant. Marcos, who is from Venezuela , combined his love of South-American cuisine with Louis’ Korean background, creating a delectable fusion menu. Marlou serves brunch and dinner and has a curated cocktail list.

Marlou’s grand opening was in February 2022, and Marcos'  Below Deck Sailing Yacht castmates visited him in March. First officer Gary King, chief stew Daisy Kelliher, stew Kelsie Goglia, and chief engineer Colin MacRae all celebrated with Marcos in Los Angeles. Online reviews praise Marlou as being “magnificent” and love how Marcos and Louis combine their “culinary and cultural backgrounds to create an extraordinary menu.” Their brunch menu offers items like ceviche tostada, and a spicy pork bulgogi sandwich with a bottomless mimosa option. Dinner can be small plates like smoked beef carpaccio and tiradito, or “shareables” like a 16 oz. ribeye steak.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 fans are waiting to see what other delicious meals the BDSY stew chef cooks up for the guests. So far, Marcos has gotten rave reviews, and Captain Glenn Shephard can’t be more pleased with the chef. With his laid-back personality and ability to create one-of-a-kind meals for charter guests, Marcos has been one of the best and likable chefs in the Below Deck franchise.

This New Yacht Is Sailing to Gorgeous, Lesser-known Ports in the Caribbean Sea — and I Was on Board With 'Below Deck's' Chef Ben

E merald Cruises' new Emerald Sakara ship brings guests to smaller ports in the Caribbean and Mediterranean, with an onboard marina and the occasional Bravo-lebrity.

With a couple dozen guests looking on, chef Ben Robinson was showing how to slice and dice a fresh red snapper. “You kind of feel him — but you don’t fondle him,” said Robinson, the fan favorite from the Bravo reality show Below Deck, who’s always ready with a quip. As he pulled a perfect filet off the bone, he explained how to salt the fish and that there’s no more important relationship than the one you have with your fishmonger. “My advice is to always be friendly,” he noted. “I like to support my mom-and-pop [businesses]. If you become familiar with them, they’ll say, ‘Hey, I got this in this morning.’”

The cooking demo, which also featured a ceviche how-to and tips on knife sharpening, was one of many “Chef Ben” moments on my trip aboard Emerald Sakara . It’s the newest 100-passenger vessel from Emerald Cruises, which launched in the fall of 2023, a sibling vessel to the Emerald Azzurra .

During an eight-day voyage in March from San Juan, Puerto Rico, to St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda, the reality personality was definitely one of the star attractions. Robinson spent several evenings in the galley, creating special dishes such as a panko-crusted veal striploin stuffed with pesto.

He also hosted a well-attended Q&A about his life in the kitchen — and spent plenty of time connecting with fans, many of whom booked the trip specifically to chop it up with Below Deck alum.

“We definitely booked because of Ben,” said Shannon Welnel , a Montana-based travel advisor who had lots of praise for his cuisine — and the yacht-like atmosphere on board the 100-passenger ship. Other guests I spoke with admitted they hadn’t seen much Below Deck, but were intrigued by the chance to chill with a Bravo-lebrity.

Emerald Sakara

  • With a max of just 100 passengers, Emerald Sakara feels at times like a private yacht, with no lines and no crowds, and outstanding service from a highly experienced crew.
  • Minimalist rooms recall the stripped down aesthetic of Miami Beach or Mykonos, Greece, with pops of color from Missoni Home accents and a sleek-yet-functional bathroom with plenty of storage space.
  • While this small ship has but one restaurant and one poolside cafe, there’s plenty of choice when it comes to meals, whether you’re hitting the breakfast or lunch buffet or choosing from the dinner menu.
  • The onboard marina, which is open in favorable weather conditions, offers watersports and swimming off the stern of the ship.
  • Easy to understand and mostly inclusive pricing covers meals, beverages at mealtime, many tours, and surprisingly speedy Wi-Fi.

The intimate-ship vibe was also one reason the chef wanted to hop aboard. “This definitely has more of a yacht vibe than any other [ship] I've been on,” Robinson told me one afternoon. “A hundred passengers is not a lot,” he said. “I've been on boats with 2,500 passengers, and you really do feel like you're anonymous. But here, the service is great, and you really are treated as an individual and someone important. And you kind of lose that on the big boats.”

While Robinson doesn’t have immediate plans to join another Emerald cruise, he told me that there were plenty of parallels between his life on megayachts and what the Sakara offers its guests. “It’s been incredible,” he said.

I had to agree. The Sakara certainly has much to offer, both in spite of its smaller size and because of it. While it’s available to book by the cabin, like any cruise ship, it still manages to feel at times like a private yacht, particularly when it sails to less-commonly visited ports such as Culebra, on Puerto Rico, or St. Bart’s. In the latter, we dropped anchor near Eric Schmidt’s yacht, Whisper , and had the whole day to explore the glitzy island and its capital, Gustavia. (After a drive around in the morning, I managed to catch the beautiful sunset from the lovely little Shell Beach, right in town.)

“The benefit of being on a small cruise ship like this one is that we can enter small ports and areas where others can’t,” said Robert Kuznin, the captain of Sakara , who previously worked with several cruise lines, including Paul Gauguin, Seabourn, and Virgin Voyages. “For example, when we dropped anchor in Esperanza Bay,” he explained about our stop at the island of Vieques, “there were only two meters under the keel — and that was the shallowest I’ve ever been!”

The ability to go places that larger ships can’t was also on display one morning on St. Kitts, one of the final stops of my trip. It was still early in the morning, but already four mega-ships were docked in Basseterre, the island’s capital. Instead of tying up next to them on the busy cruise pier, we dropped anchor just off the beach in South Friar’s Bay, a long sweep of sand in the island’s southern reaches. There were no crowds to contend with, no paperwork hassles, no touts offering dodgy cab rides. A five-minute tender ride to the beach was all it took to meet our local guide. Time from leaving the breakfast buffet to our first stop? About 25 minutes. Even the most efficient mega-ship would struggle to make that happen — and they can’t drop anchor right off the one of the best beaches on the island. 

Other moments aboard Sakara felt like something out of Below Deck . One afternoon, I made my way to the yacht’s marina, a platform at the stern stocked with lounge chairs, refreshments, and water toys such as a floating trampoline and inflatable sea kayaks. I jumped off the stern into the Caribbean and then tried out the ship’s Seabob, a floating gadget that’s like a cross between a Jet Ski and an electric scooter.

As I continued my joy ride, I could see another vessel anchored just north of us. Turns out, it was David Geffen’s private yacht , Rising Sun . Of course, we were there first.

Here’s a closer look at all the amenities of the Emerald Sakara , which sails seasonally in coastal waters in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean Sea.

The Staterooms

Welcome to your starship: the stripped down, white-and-gray cabins on Sakara feel sci-fi chic, particularly when the accent lighting is switched on. They’re also, thankfully, spacious and super functional, with ample storage space (including a safe), a small minibar, a coffee station, and a clever headboard built-in that’s a great spot for your charging devices and water bottle. Most of the 50 rooms and suites have verandas; ocean-view staterooms are the exception. Bathrooms are just big enough, with plenty of storage, and are stocked with Espa products and a hair dryer. My cabin, 421, was a 300-square-foot balcony suite toward the aft of the ship on deck four: I never once heard noise from the surrounding cabins or in the hallway, though I did occasionally notice sounds and vibrations from the vessel, something that is common on even the largest of ships. A note on power plugs: my stateroom had U.S.-style outlets throughout as well as USB-A charging ports on either side of the bed, a nice touch.

Bars and Restaurants

Because Sakara is smaller than most cruise ships, it can’t compete on sheer volume of bars and restaurants. Still, the food on board is solid. La Cucina is the only true dining room, with both indoor and outdoor seating; it has somewhat limited hours compared to the round-the-clock dining options on bigger vessels. That being said, I certainly didn’t go hungry: a breakfast buffet is complemented by traditional à la minute options such as omelets and pancakes; lunch is also buffet style with a carving station. Dinner is more restaurant style, with options from an ever-changing daily menu plus always available classics such as Caesar salad, shrimp cocktail, grilled salmon, and spaghetti bolognese on offer. (Many dietary restrictions and preferences can be accommodated.)

On my voyage, chef Robinson put together several special plates, including what might’ve been the best dish of the week: a sesame-crusted seared yellowfin tuna with celeriac puree. The Below Deck star also put together a panko veal striploin roulade one night and, another evening, offered a citrus-cured hamachi with, in a touch of molecular gastronomy, “mango spheres.” Elsewhere on board, a poolside cafe, Aqua Café, has quick bites like burgers and flatbreads, as well as sweets and coffee pulled from a Cimbali espresso machine. The cocktails served in the Amici Lounge and the Sky Bar were consistently excellent, mixed by a talented team of pros who’ve previously worked on Seabourn ships and in some of Dubai’s top hotels. One weaker spot was the selection of wine on board: pours at mealtimes are included, but they didn’t rock my boat. A short list of “chairman’s wines,” available at extra cost, included a couple by-the-bottle finds such as 2013 vintage Cristal ($650) and some mid-tier Bordeaux and Burgundy options.

Where Emerald Sakara Sails

Though small, this ship isn’t an expedition yacht. Rather, it’s specifically designed for warm-weather coastal cruising, meaning it spends the lion’s share of its time in places such as the Caribbean and, in the Northern Hemisphere’s summer months, the Mediterranean. My trip aboard was spent entirely in the Leeward Islands of the Caribbean, where passages between ports were short and the seas were often calm. (We did occasionally encounter some swells of up to two meters, or 6.6 feet. I saw many guests wearing medicated patches to prevent motion sickness throughout the trip.) Sakara typically spends a season of several months in a given region, with a variety of cruise lengths offered, ranging from six to 24 days. In 2024, the ship will spend April through November in the Mediterranean. Sakara will return to the Caribbean at the end of the year, through April 2025.

Shore Excursions

Tours off the ship were a strong suit for Emerald, at least on my voyage. Most stops offered a variety of activities, ranging from a simple transfer to a nearby beach to a full-on, multi-hour tour. Usually, I found myself ashore with a very small group of folks — fewer than a dozen — and all the guides Emerald arranged were true pros. Passengers raved about a kayak paddle through the bioluminescent bay on Vieques, something I sadly didn’t try myself. I did, however, enjoy a short guided hike on the island of St. John, to the pristine beach along Salomon Bay, which was all but deserted. The organization of excursions felt flawless to me, thanks no doubt to the crew and shore excursion manager, Pilar Atencio. Worth a mention, too, were Atencio’s detailed briefings on what to expect each day. While these sorts of “port talks'' are common on ships of all sizes, they felt particularly useful on Sakara because of how intimate our groups were; many passengers made a point of attending the pre-dinner talks every night, for info on what to expect about our anchorage, historical background on each island, and detailed info about what each tour offering would entail.

Amenities and Entertainment

Call it small but mighty: Sakara has all the essentials, which is a bit of feat for a ship this size. A cozy spa has wellness and beauty treatments, as well as a small hairstyling and facial studio; morning yoga and stretching are available on deck. The fitness center, with a few cardio machines, a Peloton bike, and a variety of weights and other gear gets the job done. The smallish pool and a top-deck whirlpool were lovely — though I spent most of my time in the ocean: the Sakara ’s marina deck is a key feature, and it was open several afternoons during my trip. It’s like the greatest pool party you’ve ever been to, complete with piña coladas, sea kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and a trampoline, right off the stern of the ship. It is, truly, as much fun as it sounds like, though it is subject to the whims of weather and ocean currents. Also available in some destinations are e-bikes from Gocycle, which are available on a first-come, first-served basis; during my trip, several guests gave them a spin on the island of Vieques. Sakara also carries a ton of snorkeling gear and beach towels, which passengers can borrow whenever they like. In terms of performances, this isn’t the vessel for Broadway-style shows, but guitarist Jamie Ferguson and voyage director Nathalie Millet added plenty of live music to the trip.

Family-friendly Offerings

The youngest passengers I spoke with on my cruise were in their 20s — and they were traveling with their parents. Sakara is perhaps the perfect ship for families traveling with adult children, since it offers such a diverse array of activities to suit different tastes and activity levels, while visiting intriguing destinations. The ship is also intimate enough that everybody can gather easily for meals — or a swim off the stern — without fighting the crowds common on larger vessels. On the other hand, Sakara is probably not the best choice for families with younger children: there’s no kid-specific programming, and you’re likely to be the only ones aboard with little ones. “Emerald Cruises yachts are recommended for people aged 12 and up, and they must be accompanied by and share a cabin with an adult aged 18 or [older],” a spokesperson shared with T+L.

Accessibility

Sakara is probably best described as somewhat accessible: the ship has elevators to all decks and the crew was, on my trip, very accommodating to those with mobility challenges. There are handrails throughout, and bathrooms feature shower grab bars. That being said, several areas of the ship — the outdoor dining terrace, for example — require navigating at least one step even once you’ve reached the deck in question by elevator. “Due to the nature and size of the ships, wheelchairs and scooters are not allowed to be used on board,” a spokesperson told T+L. When the ship is at anchor, it’s only possible to go ashore by tender or Zodiac, both of which could be challenging for those with limited mobility. As Emerald’s FAQ explains: “Guests with limited mobility will require help from a companion, since the crew is limited.” Also of note: many announcements are made only by loudspeaker with no hearing-impaired alternative.

Below Deck Loses 2 Crewmembers After a Firing and a Dramatic Season 11 Departure

Below deck 's capt. kerry titheradge fired the first season 11 yachtie during the bravo series' march 18 episode, but that wasn't the only shocking departure. find out who else left the yacht..

The  St. David  is down not one, but two crewmembers.

During Below Deck 's March 18 episode, Captain Kerry Titheradge  fired the first season 11 yachtie when he let Bosun Jared Woodin go for unprofessional behavior, the last straw being an inebriated Jared barging into Stew Barbie Pascual 's cabin the night prior and yelling at Deckhand Kyle Stillie for leaving a mess of loose tobacco on the deck after a night of partying. 

"This is the second time you've gone on the piss and you've had bad behavior," Kerry told his subordinate. "You're in a leadership role. You can't be acting like that. You gotta be above the fray. The way that you're treating these guy is not acceptable."

But it wasn't just the alcohol that was the problem, as Kerry noted Jared's mental state wasn't where it needed to be. "You've got s--t going on, man," he shared. "You're your own worst enemy right now. You need to depart the vessel."

However, Jared agreed his head wasn't in the right place and accepted his termination graciously.

"This ain't the right place for me at the right time," Jared replied, to which Kerry responded, "I don't blame you for that. Take this time and work on yourself. Me keeping you here is a disservice to you."

Before departing the super-yacht, Jared reflected in a confessional, "I thought I was in a good headspace coming into this. I'm really not. And as much as I'd like to be I'm just lying to myself."

But Jared wasn't the only teammate to set sail during the latest episode. Stew Cat Baugh willingly left the ship after admittedly struggling with the job all season long.

"I really wanna push through for you guys," Cat, in tears, told Chief Stew Fraser Olender after receiving a very distressing call from a friend back home in America. "I'm just losing my mind right now."

And Fraser totally understood his crewmember's needs.

"If you're in a very unhappy place," he told her, "I'd rather you put your health and your mental health before that and we get you the help you need as soon as we can."

In a confessional, Fraser elaborated, "I don't know what is going on, but you can look into someone's eyes sometimes and see that there is no more that they can give. They are going through enough to be incapable and I need to do what's right for her. "

See how the crew copes with the unexpected departures when Below Deck airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on Bravo. And keep reading to look back at the most shocking Below Deck firings ever.

If there's one thing to learn from Camille Lamb 's Below Deck firing, it's to not slack off on the job. That's exactly why the season 10 stew was let go by substitute Captain Sandy Yawn , as Chief Stew Fraser Olender continued to criticize Camille's behavior on board.

From being caught drinking while preparing for a new charter to partying at late hours and more, Fraser informed Captain Sandy that he had reached his "last straw."

"She's the common denominator in all of this," said Captain Sandy. "Great girl, great personality, but at the same time, we have to do what's best for the boat."

Below Deck Adventure 's Kyle Dickard was let go just three episodes into the reality franchise's latest series—which premiered in November 2022. After picking fights with his fellow deckhand Nathan Morley —as well as kissing crew mates in front of guests—Kyle was offered by Captain Kerry Titheradge the opportunity to resign so that his firing would not end up on his personal record.

Kyle took the Captain up on his offer and left the boat after just one charter.

Captain Sandy let bosun Raygan Tyler go during season seven of Below Deck Mediterranean ,  not only for causing the boat to  take a small hit while docking, but also for not stepping up to the plate as a leader.

But Captain Sandy didn't want her firing to discourage the bosun, as she told Raygan, "If I had the time and I wasn't running a boat this size, I would train you. I would teach you."

In addition to onboard romances and failing to follow directions , one of the biggest reasons behind stew Elizabeth Frankini 's Below Deck firing was her infamous laundry room accident , during which made a toxic mess when combining bleach and laundry soap.

"Unfortunately, I didn't know that was so toxic and I feel so bad about it," she told E! News of the incident in December 2020 . "You know, I do feel really bad, especially 'cause Francesca [ Rubi ] did say, 'Take it outside.'"

The bosun and stew were both fired by Captain Jason Chambers for inappropriate behavior after a night of partying with their fellow yachties.

Luke Jones was let go after getting into Stew Margot Sisson 's bed naked while she was drunk and unconscious. Laura Bileskaine also made unwanted advances on Deckhand Adam Kodra despite him telling her he was not interested in hooking up.

Jason made it known that consent was a must, and sent both crewmembers packing.

Tensions between stew Lexi Wilson and Chef Mathew Shea came to a head during an explosive dinner fight on season six of Below Deck Mediterranean , during which Lexi told Matt that his parents "should've aborted you." That was the last straw for Captain Sandy, who fired her not long after the incident.

Deckhand Tom Pearson said "bon voyage" to Below Deck Sailing Yacht after getting let go by Captain Glenn Shephard . Tom hit his last strike with the Captain after failing to report that the boat's anchor was dragging during heavy winds one night, causing a potential safety risk for everyone on board.

"It had to be done. It was such a grievous thing that he dropped the ball there, he had to go, and we had to just be man down and live with it, you know?" Captain Glenn said of the decision  on Watch What Happens Live. "So, obviously, you don't want to do that, but yeah, it had to happen."

Some people are picky eaters, but Below Deck Down Under' s Ryan McKeown was quite the picky chef, as he would judge guests'  food requests  and fail to take  criticism from Captain Jason Chambers , as well.

Perhaps Ryan's Below Deck exit is one of the franchise's most memorable, as he mooned Jason and viewers on his way off the boat.

Below Deck Down Under stew Magda Ziomek 's firing was another case of slacking on the job. After constantly being on her phone texting or video chatting with her boyfriend, Chief Stew Aesha Scott decided to replace Magda before the end of the charter season.

Below Deck Mediterranean 's Peter Hunziker was fired from the series in June 2020 after he shared an offensive post on social media.

"Peter Hunziker of Below Deck Mediterranean has been terminated for his racist post," Bravo wrote in a statement at the time. "Bravo and 51 Minds are editing the show to minimize his appearance for subsequent episodes."

Chief Stew Hannah Ferrier was let go by Captain Sandy on Below Deck Mediterranean after boson Malia White discovered her co-star possessed undeclared Valium and a vape pen, the former of which Hannah claimed was for her anxiety.

"If I could do it all over again, I would've just declared them as soon as I came on board," Hannah stated in an August 2020 interview with E! News. "It was definitely not something that was intentional. I wasn't trying to hide anything.

Below Deck Mediterranean 's Delaney Evans left just as quickly as she arrived. After initially being brought on during season six to help out Chief Stew Katie Flood , Katie determined that Delaney was doing more harm than good, choosing to let her go after just one charter.

"I think she was overwhelmed with the situation, and I think that, you know, in her mind, the best solution to the situation was just to go back to what they had before," Delaney told Bravo Insider of Katie's decision. "I think she was just overwhelmed with everything that was going on and all the feedback she was getting."

Deckhand Shane Coopersmith was a bit in over his head on season eight of Below Deck , as he was let go for failing to know basic skills, reporting late for duty and taking naps on the job.

Chaos in the kitchen led to Captain Lee Rosbach letting Chef Leon Walker go on season three of Below Deck . After an oven fire broke out , Lee placed the blame on Chief Stew Kate Chastain but was ultimately the one sent home.

Like several of the franchise's stars, Below Deck 's Chris Brown  was fired  during season five for failing to fully perform his duties. After being let go by Captain Lee, Chris shared some parting words as he left the boat, stating , "Who gives a s--t?"

Chef Mila Kolomeitseva was fired by Captain Sandy on season four of Below Deck Mediterranean after failing to use her cooking skills to produce top-quality food for guests—including some not-so-nice nachos .

"Of course it makes me feel awful," Mila said of her departure . "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."

Sometimes people just don't work well together. That's exactly why Captain Lee fired Chandler Brooks during season six of Below Deck , telling the boson, "I don't think it's a good fit."

Who did Jared Woodin get fired on Below Deck Season 11, Episode 7?

As soon as Season 11 began, Captain Kerry recognized that Jared wasn't cut out to be the Bosun of a mega yacht. After giving Jared a few charters to see if he could improve during dockings and with his communication, Kerry decided to fire the Connecticut native. 

Captain Kerry told Jared, "The way that you're treating these guys is not acceptable, and we've had discussions, and I've tried to guide you, I've shown you compassion. But, you've got sh-t going on, mate. You're your own worst enemy right now. You need to depart the vessel."

How Jared Woodin Reacted to Getting Fired

Once Kerry fired Jared, the dad of one seemed surprised. "I'm getting the boot?" Jared asked, and Kerry confirmed that was the case. "Really?"

Kerry noted that Jared did "have a lot going for [him]," but that  St. David  wasn't the right place for him. 

"Take this time and work on yourself," Kerry said. "Me keeping you here is a disservice to you."

Jared ultimately agreed with that assessment in an interview on the episode.

"I thought I was in a good headspace coming in to this, [but] I'm really not. And, as much as I would like to be, I'm just lying to myself," he said. "Although the situation sucks, I actually really do feel a little bit lighter."

Why did cat baugh leave on below deck season 11.

Jared wasn't the only crew member who left St. David on Season 11, Episode 7. After expressing how it was hard for her to find her place amongst the rest of the yachties, stew Cat Baugh received a troubling phone call from a friend named Megan when she was in her cabin.

"I'm sorry, I know you can't talk, but she's not answering, and no one else is awake right now," Cat's friend said on the phone. "Do you have, like, a couple seconds? I'm freaking the f-ck out."

Cat didn't reveal what exactly the phone call was about, but she recognized that she needed to get back home. 

"So, I got a call from my friend, Megan," Cat explained in an interview on the episode. "This is a situation I really can't talk about, but my friends are my family, so it feels really sh-tty not being able to be there for her."

Cat Baugh Hugs Captain Kerry as she leaves the yacht

After the charter guests arrived, Cat talked to her boss, Fraser Olender , about what she was feeling. He encouraged her to put her mental health first. Kerry did the same.

"My number one job is to take care of my crew and their health," Kerry said. "I'm well aware of mental health. She's got to go, now."

11 Things You Didn’t Know About Below Deck's Captain Kerry Titheradge

"I wish I could have stayed. But, the thing is, there's no way I could have," Cat concluded. "This is too much. I need to be with the people [who] need me, and also, on this boat, I'm at a breaking point. I need to protect my mental health. It's like my support system is at home, not here."
