Yachts featured in Below Deck Adventure (Spin off)

Motoryacht mercury (previously known as malibu and kermit).

In the fourth spin off of Below Deck, the now infamous decided to spice things up a little. Instead of the usual Mediterranean or Caribbean routine, Below Deck went to the less explored (but extremely breathtaking) Norway.

For this new serie filled with adventure, Below Deck picked the motoryacht Mercury, ex Malibu and Kermit, to explore the Fjords Norway is famous for.

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.

Yachts featured in Below Deck Down Under (Spin off in Australia)

Northern Sun: the yacht in Below Deck Down Under Season 2

And it’s hard to imagine a better yacht than the Northern Sun motoryacht to explore this iconic area. The Northern Sun is a 50.8m (now yacht) that used to be a vessel dedicated for ice exploration. 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.

Although the Northern Sun is built by the Japanese Narasaki shipyard, it surely is a boat that fits Australian waters quite well and could delight anyone looking to explore the most rugged locations in style, whether they are polar or tropical.

Northern Sun is available for charter from $161,700 / week . Her latest asking price was $15,000,000 .

Here’s How Much It Costs To Rent The St. David Yacht On Below Deck Season 10

It is the largest yacht on the series to date.

As the latest boat to be featured on Below Deck Season 10, the St. David yacht is just as lavish — and pricey — as you’d expect. According to Boat International, it was created in 2008 as part of the Benetti fleet, and it’s the largest yacht to appear on Below Deck . The yacht itself is somewhat of a celebrity and has made appearances at the Cannes Film Festival while also sailing to locations like the Seychelles, Red Sea, and Abu Dhabi.

The boat was last sold in 2018 for an asking price of €22,500,000 (about $23,026,027). Currently, you can rent the St. David Yacht through Morley Yachts. A week-long rental is going to run you up €325,000 per week (about $383,514) plus expenses during low season. During high season, that price can go up to €345,000 ($407,115) a week.

If you’re curious about what the ship looks like, chief stew Fraser Olender gave a tour of the yacht for Bravo. In a preview video, he leads viewers through the main deck to a sundeck that has two “bunny pads” that host classes like yoga, boxing, and drinking sessions. “It’s truly a special place on board to be graced with,” he said.

Next is the jacuzzi, which Olender noted is the biggest he’s worked with so far. But he adds that his favorite place is the huge sky lounge, which lets in a lot of light and has a classical Baroque theme. Beyond that, the yacht features six rooms, which include a master suite and five cabins. It can hold a total of 12 guests, along with 14 crewmates.

There is certainly a number of fabulous living quarters, but below deck is, unsurprisingly, a lot less luxurious. “We absolutely have no space back here. The smallest pantry I’ve ever had to work,” he says, showing off a tiny room. “But it caters to all our needs, and we’ve just got to make due.” On the plus side, he notes that their crew mess room is “massive,” adding that he doesn’t get much time to spend there. Though, based on the Season 10 trailer , some crew drama is going to happen there.

As for Olender’s fellow crew members, they’ll all be led by Captain Lee as he sails the St. David around the waters of St. Lucia in the Caribbean. As Lee soon realizes, running a bigger boat means more crew members and a lot more problems. Olender has to navigate a major conflict between some of the stews as tensions heat up in the interior department. Meanwhile, chef Rachel Hargrove raises the bar on cuisine, but soon the pressure to maintain that workload starts to overwhelm her. And then there’s all the messy romance drama as Bosun Ross McHarg starts up several casual relationships with the other women on board.

Clearly, there’s a lot going on deck of the largest yacht on the series. So while you might not have the money to rent the St. David yourself, at least you can tune into its drama when Season 10 premieres on Nov. 21.

Below Deck Season 10: Meet The Cast

Bravo's hit series, "Below Deck" is undeniably captivating — so much so that in 2022, Season 9 beat out the "Real Housewives" franchise to become the most-watched show on the network. The nautical docu-series follows the lives of carefree yachties as they attempt to deliver five-star service on floating vessels in some of the most luxurious locations in the world. Cameras roll on all the debauchery that ensues — including boat romances, over-the-top guest requests, and Captain Lee Rosbach's encyclopedia of euphemisms. Demanding guests, grueling work days, and unpredictable weather conditions are all to be expected on the show, balanced out by the thousands of dollars in cash tips the crew receives after each charter. In Captain Rosbach's own words, "Suck it up creampuff" — and they do, if they're not fired first, making for some ultimate binge-worthy television.

The series debuted its tenth season in November of 2022 aboard the massive 197-foot vessel, St. David, the largest motor yacht in "Below Deck" history. The crew headed to St. Lucia in the Caribbean, showcasing dramatic mountains, volcanic beaches, and epic diving spots for those willing to shell out the big bucks to charter aboard the luxurious vessel. With a bigger boat to pack in the drama, Captain Rosbach's iron fist might have some yachties ready to abandon ship. 

For Season 10, the cast of "Below Deck" is mixing some fresh faces with some seasoned alumni — and we're dropping the anchor on all the details to dish on who's stepping aboard the boat, this season. 

Captain Lee Rosbach

Captain Lee Rosbach, who fans commonly refer to as The Stud of the Sea , is the only cast member to appear in every season of the show. Three series spinoffs and hundreds of yachties later, the good captain has become a major celebrity. With his witty humor and sharp tongue making him a fan favorite, It's hard to imagine the Michigan native was never supposed to be on the show at all. 

"I thought I was heading down to Saint Martin for just a gravy train," he admitted on the " Heart of the Matter " podcast. "Drop the boat off, go check on it every three or four days, get paid double pay, sit on the beach, drink foo-foo drinks for six weeks, bring [his wife] Mary Ann  down, and enjoy life." A last-minute need for a captain threw a wrench in Rosbach's plans. Joining the ship, and the Season 1 cast, he cemented his status as a star in the soon-to-be sensation, "Below Deck."

Ten seasons of firing reckless yachties, whipping his deck crews into shape, and guiding his vessels through unpredictable weather and wind have taken their toll on the captain, who turned 73 in November 2022. Viewers got a glimpse into his health struggles during the Season 10 premiere , where he told his crew, "I am a little incapacitated. I have a nerve issue on my left side so I am going to depend on you guys in some areas." 

Fraser Olender

Season 10 of "Below Deck" returns with a new chief stew calling the shots, and this time it's the first ever man to ever take on the role in the ten years of the show's tenure. Returning from Season 9, Fraser Olender promises to shake things up as head of the interior. "I feel very honored, I can't quite believe it. I think I've got some huge shoes to fill," Olender told E! News . "... It's amazing to see that the industry is also finally accepting anyone for the role regardless of gender or anything, so I'm super, super grateful."

The chief made his television debut in Season 9  as a second stew, but the Brit has been in the industry for years. Olender started his career on yachts in Naples, Italy, and he continues to pursue his passion for travel and hospitality with dreams of one day opening up his own hotel. Before making his way to the Caribbean, Olender even got a few tips from some former "Below Deck" alums. "I spoke to Kate [Chastain], my idol of the franchise, who gave me some great advice," he told Decider . "... I did also speak to Hannah Ferrier ... in addition to a few other OGs. I felt prepared, but when I got there, it turns out that I absolutely wasn't." Despite what looks to be a rocky upcoming season, Olender looks set to bring the laughs — and the sass — to keep us all entertained.

Rachel Hargrove

Chefs on "Below Deck" have a way of stirring up a lot more than just five-star meals, and Rachel Hargrove is no exception. The Tampa native knows a thing or two about commanding the galley, having appeared in seasons eight and nine of the Bravo series. While her impressive culinary skills are mostly self-taught, she attended the Culinary Institute of America and was an apprentice at a Michelin-star restaurant in Italy. The seasoned traveler took her love of food to Thailand, India, and Japan to hone her craft. 

Hargrove has seen her fair share of over-the-top requests. One particular preference sheet in Season 8 drove her to deliver a now infamous vulgar invitation in response to the ostentatious nature of the requests. In Season 10, the chef found herself in what she called a truffle kerfuffle after guests requested a truffle-based menu — only to find the key ingredient missing from the final meal. Hargrove opted for truffle oils, truffle salt, and truffle powder to rescue the dinner service. "I just pulled off a truffle-tasting menu without truffle," she said in the episode .

Aside from her culinary skills, Chef Hargrove has quite an interesting job resume. The TV personality also did a stint on "America's Next Top Model" in 2005 after being recruited for the show while working at a bar. Her quirky personality hasn't changed a bit, as the chef joked that she was game for anything during an "ANTM" confessional , stating, "My grandparents are dead, I have no one to disgrace."

Hayley De Sola Pinto

Hayley De Sola Pinto joins "Below Deck" as a stew for Season 10, and the sassy Cornwall, U.K. native is making waves. The newbie has been working in the yacht industry on and off since she was 23 years old, but she's also an advanced esthetician. The stew owns her own salon in England called Classen Aesthetics where she specializes in anti-wrinkle treatments, dermal fillers, and fat-dissolving injections. 

Pinto does more than just make beds and do laundry on luxury yachts, as she's also strutted her stuff at New York Fashion Week. The yachtie posted an Instagram  photo showing her modeling during the high-profile event with the caption, "Undoubtedly one of the best days of my life." When she's not working as a stew, injecting fillers, or modeling the catwalk, she spends her hard-earned boat tips traveling around the world — often sharing snaps from her picturesque, jet-setting global adventures with her followers.

The esthetician also has a close relationship with her chief stew. On her Instagram profile, Pinto shared a pic of the two together with the caption, "Mummy and I" alongside a heart emoji. Her cheeky humor and outspoken personality keep things entertaining aboard the St. David, and it doesn't hurt that she quickly befriended her boss. 

Alissa Humber

Alissa Humber takes on the interior as one of the stews in Season 10 of "Below Deck" and the Florida native is not afraid to step on some toes to get the job done. The yachtie got off on the wrong foot with her fellow stew, Camille Lamb, and their working relationship promises to pack the drama by the looks of the premiere episode. After multiple passive-aggressive comments between the two, Humber unleashed a barrage of insults in one go by referring to her co-star as, "[A] dirty, disgusting, trash, swampy b***h." On Twitter, users weighed in on the conflict, with some suggesting that Humber was on a fast track to getting her butt fired, per Monsters & Critics . 

It's not just their interior roles that they're fighting over, but their potential common attraction for a particular deckhand. — Ben Willoughby. But whether she's flirting with him simply to annoy Lamb or whether she's genuinely got her sights set on him, remains to be seen.

When she's not feuding with her co-stars, Humber apparently  enjoys kayaking and hiking around the sunshine state. She lives in Miami and enjoys shopping and jet-setting around the world with the money she earns from temporary stew jobs. Though she has only been working in the yacht industry for two years, her determined work ethic paid off — landing her the second stew position over Lamb.

Camille Lamb

The Mississippi girl who traded a small town for big boats is nonother than Camille Lamb. The "Below Deck" cast member hails from a family of merchant mariners and has been on boats since she was just nine years old. Having worked on yachts in the Virgin Islands, Miami, and Los Angeles, she joins the St. David as a deck stew, splitting her time between the interior and exterior of the boat. The yachtie has a decorated dating history and she's not afraid to talk about it. In an Instagram post, she quipped, "New game on ["Below Deck"] ... everybody drinks when I say 'I dated a college quarterback' — one of my very few personality traits."

Aside from dating athletes and fighting with Alissa Humber, Lamb is passionate about singing and songwriting and made her TV debut when she auditioned for "American Idol" in 2021. Speaking to ShowBiz Cheatsheet about her experience trying out for the show via online auditions during the COVID-19 pandemic, she shared, "[I had been] watching 'American Idol,' probably since 2017. I was like, 'You know what? I'm just as good as they are singing and I could do this.'" After submitting her audition, she was flown out to San Diego and made it through six rounds on the show before being eliminated. "[Singing is] just one of my gifts and I've seen it as such," she reflected to the outlet. "The way that I walk in life is how I lead myself through my music."

Ross McHarg

Ross McHarg joins the Season 10 cast of "Below Deck" as the head of the deck team — as well as the object of affection for some of his female coworkers. Hailing from the U.K., the bosun found his way into the yachting world by teaching ski lessons in Europe. McHarg has since spent over 15 years seeing the world, but he's set up base in Thailand for the time being.  

Judging from the teaser for what's to come in Season 10, he might even break a few hearts on board. Captain Lee Rosbach weighed in on McHarg's relationship with his deckhand, Katie Glaser, who has her eye on her deck boss. When asked by fans what the captain thinks of their boatmance on " Watch What Happens Live ," he answered, "That's never gonna end well. It's just like, 'Go ahead. One or both of you are gonna hit the road.'"

The British yachtie may have more than just heaving lines to manage, considering he may be cozying up to both Glaser and second stew, Alissa Humber. Though the motor yacht, St. David is spacious, three might be a crowd in the case of this love triangle. 

Luis Antonio 'Tony' Duarte

Luis Antonio "Tony" Duarte joins the "Below Deck" cast as a deckhand, and his positive energy and outgoing personality are contagious. Hailing from Costa Rica, he has an extensive list of adventure-seeking hobbies — and previous jobs of a similar nature, too. The deckhand has worked as a dive master in South Africa, a whale-watching guide in Costa Rica, and a zip-liner in the Bahamas. When he's not handling deck duties on luxury yachts, Duarte's hobbies include cliff-diving, surfing, and fishing.

On Instagram , he celebrated his reality TV debut by sharing his "Below Deck" cast photo along with the caption, "One of the most fun and craziest experiences for me so far. Never thought I will be on a reality show but here I go, trying to do what I do best, get myself out of my [comfort] zone, and explore new horizons. From the jungle to ST, David BDS10 let's have some fun." In addition to pictures of his rock-hard abs, he frequently posts stunning picturesque snapshots of his life living on the road . "All my life fits in a backpack," Duarte shared in an interview clip . "If it doesn't fit in the backpack, it must go away." Do any of his beautiful coworkers fit into this backpack? Inquiring minds want to know. 

Katie Glaser

Katie Glaser proves you can have both beauty and brawn on deck as she debuts her skills as a seasoned deckhand in Season 10. She got her start in the yachting industry after trading Colorado snow for the sand in Fort. Lauderdale, and hasn't looked back since. The deckhand had been working on boats for three years prior to joining the crew, after deciding the corporate world wasn't her style. While she's used to the fast-paced exciting lifestyle of working on yachts, she's also worked in IT recruiting and account management.

If her  Instagram profile is any indication, then Glaser pretty much lives in a bikini, and she doesn't shy away from showing off her bombshell looks and toned physique. The deckhand will have to balance work and play since she's caught the eye of her boss, Ross McHarg. After kissing her bosun, Glaser had a few choice words for McHarg when she saw him getting cozy in the hot tub with another coworker. "That's f***ed up. And I'm not going to look at that," she mumbled in Episode 4. Time will tell if the deckhand will survive that particular sinking ship.

Ben Willoughby

What's a good season of "Below Deck" without an Aussie on deck? Ben Willoughby made his debut in Season 10 as one of the deckhands, bringing his Australian Gold Coast charm with him. Willoughby got his start on yachts in France and worked as a deckhand and personal trainer for three years prior to joining the crew. His Bravo cast bio describes him as somebody who believes in the power of a good piña colada — and honestly, we couldn't agree more.

The brunette hunk works hard and plays hard. By everything that's been teased for Season 10, there may be another boatmance on the cards for Willoughby and his coworker, Camille Lamb. According to Captain Lee Rosbach, it's almost impossible to stop the yachties from striking up love connections. "[Boatmances] are the things that you're never, ever gonna get away from. You just can't," he explained in a recent interview with E! News . "I mean, it'd be like, gosh, like trying to herd cats. It's never gonna happen." For now, we'll keep respectfully gawking at Willoughby's shirtless travel pics on  Instagram .

Meet ‘Home,’ the Sleek 164-Foot Superyacht That Starred in ‘Below Deck’

The 164-footer was not only the backdrop for the reality series but also has hybrid propulsion and a "50 shades of white" interior., julia zaltzman, julia zaltzman's most recent stories.

The 164-foot motor yacht Home was Heesen’s first hybrid yacht when it delivered in 2017. It was also the first yacht to combine hybrid propulsion with a Fast Displacement Hull Shape (FDHF), which is proven to outperform conventional hull forms at all speeds. Built in lightweight aluminum, Home delivers 48 percent more fuel efficiency than other yachts of the same size.

Another perk of the hybrid propulsion package is reduced noise and vibration. Sensory expert Barry Smith, founder of the Centre for the Study of the Senses, discovered that the enjoyment of fine dining and wine while cruising in electric mode is significantly enhanced.

“Our research has shown that the brain’s processing of taste is affected by noise, which reduces the tongue’s ability to detect salt, sweet and sour,” says Smith. “The beauty of Home is the ability to run at a sound of around 46 decibels—the sound level of softly falling rain—enabling those on board to enjoy food and drink with no diminution of taste.”

Home began as a speculation build by the shipyard, before the American owner stepped in to the project. The initial interior was not to his liking, so he engaged Italian designer Cristiano Gatto to rework the design. He mandated simplicity, rather than minimalism. He also requested decor inspired by his residences, reflecting their contemporary Ibiza style. One perfect example: The slinky metal chaise lounge in the main salon by Italian designer Franco Poli.

Here are 10 facts about one of the world’s first hybrid yachts.

Star of the Med

Home ’s fortune took a sharp turn in 2022 when it became the star of the seventh season of Below Deck Mediterranean . Filmed in Malta, the reality series followed its crew over an eight-week charter season, with Captain Sandy Yawn at the helm. Unlike most yachts on Below Deck, Home retained its real name on screen. It was the first diesel-electric motor yacht to appear on the show, and in typical style, the producers added a dancing pole to the sundeck to spice up the onboard antics.

50 Shades of White

Home takes the trend for neutral interiors to a whole new level. Alongside a color palette of black and gray with pops of deep red, the yacht features 50 shades of white, from off-white to ivory. The original owner mandated an interior that gave him a “home away from home”—hence the yacht’s name. Low-slung sofas and bespoke loose furniture create a relaxed and welcoming beach club ambience. The vessel’s teak flooring and full-height glass windows blur the distinction between inside and out.

Party Lounge

One of Heesen’s signature areas is an upper-deck sky lounge. Home ’s casual bean bags, daybeds, and stark-white bar with LED strip lighting provide a natural extension to the alfresco dining terrace. When the doors to the aft deck are shut and the furniture removed, a mirror ball and a smoke machine are added turning the area into a dedicated party room for nighttime use.

A Dreamier Shade of Pale

Full-height windows in the full-beam, main deck owner’s suite bounce natural light off the paler-than-pale color scheme. The off-white bed, rug, walls, and ceiling are offset with a sky-blue bed throw. There is a dressing room, an en suite with shower and a private office. There’s also a full-beam VIP cabin on the lower deck, as well as two double cabins and two twin cabins to accommodate 12 guests, including families.

Moody Sundeck

Home ’s sundeck is the hub of the boat. There are sun lounges forward with privacy glass safety screens to shelter guests from sea spray and wind. Beneath the hardtop bimini is a large sit-up bar and lounge area, which also doubles as an outdoor dining area. The bar lights up in soft pastel shades at night to bring the party atmosphere. Aft is a Jacuzzi, while a projector and a screen set-up transform the deck into an outdoor cinema.

On the Nose

The yacht is easily spotted on the horizon, thanks to its distinctive plumb bow. The vertical front increases Home ’s waterline length, helping it to slice through waves and lift in rougher water. It guarantees a smoother and faster ride for guests, as well as creating more room on the interior for crew accommodations. For a more immersive journey, a telescopic seat on the foredeck rises from the bow for 360-degree views.

Sea Terrace

A central staircase on the main deck aft leads down to an oversized swim platform that doubles as a sea-level sun lounge. With plenty of room for daybeds and sunrise yoga sessions, it’s the perfect waterside hang out.

The Athletic Club

The lower-deck gym is a full-beam, air-conditioned space for guests to sweat it out. It’s kitted out with a range of equipment, including a workout bench, Techno Gym dumbbells, an exercise bike, and a rowing machine. When guests are done with their workout, they’re just a few steps from the sea for the ultimate plunge to cool off.

The Electric Package

The twin 805 hp MTU engines (smaller than those typically fitted on a yacht of this size) can be operated in four different cruising modes: hybrid (with noise levels in the owner’s stateroom measuring as low as 46 decibels), economic, cruising (consuming as little as 12 gallons per hour at 9 knots), and boost, which pushes the boat to a top speed of 16.8 knots.

Fast, Efficient Hull

At the time of launch, Home was the first yacht to combine the super efficiency of an FDHF hull, designed by Van Oosenan Naval Architects, with hybrid propulsion. The combination was celebrated with a RINA green award presented by HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco.

Below Deck season 10: next episode, cast, trailer and everything we know

What will happen now that Captain Sandy is taking over for Captain Lee?

"New location, new boat, new crew, new everything," says Captain Lee, the Stud of Sea, in the new trailer for Below Deck season 10. It’s time to set sail with Bravo’s most beloved yachting franchise in the Caribbean.

The new season was teased at BravoCon 2022 and immediately had fans buzzing. Captain Lee Rosbach is back behind the wheel of motor yacht St. David, the biggest boat to be featured on the show at 197 feet. He’ll have two returning crew members and a bunch of new faces, but the trailer suggests that there’s rough waters ahead. 

Those rough waters lead to Captain Lee stepping away from the St. David for health reasons and Captain Sandy Yawn taking the helm while he recovers. 

Here’s everything we know about Below Deck season 10.

Below Deck season 10 cast

Joining Captain Lee on his Caribbean journey will be two familiar faces from last season: chef Rachel Hargrove and chief stew Fraser Olender. Everyone else will be new to the team, and with newbies comes the inevitable growing pains. And Captain Lee always has plane tickets to send people home if they disrespect the boat. 

We’ll be watching to see whether new bosun Ross McHarg can handle the job. In the past, new bosuns have always had a trial by fire. Being a new bosun on any boat is tough, but being a new bosun with a new crew of deckhands on a megayacht is a whole other ballgame. 

Thankfully, Captain Lee will have some stability in the interior with Olender as the chief stew, while Hargrove has things covered in the galley.

Here’s the complete crew coming to Below Deck season 10: 

• Captain Lee Rosbach 
• Chef Rachel Hargrove 
• Chief Stew Fraser Olender 
• Bosun Ross McHarg 
• Stew Hayley De Sola Pinto
• Stew Alissa Humber 
• Deck/Stew Camille Lamb 
• Deckhand Tony Duarte 
• Deckhand Katie Glaser 
• Deckhand Ben Willoughby 

Below Deck season 10 plot

Below Deck chronicles the lives of the people who make fantasies come true on mega yachts. The hard-working crew members have to navigate the needs (and demands) of the guests while taking care of their other responsibilities on the ship. And when you’re living in close quarters with the people you work with, with nowhere to go to get some space, it can be a big challenge. 

Is there a trailer for Below Deck season 10?

Parsifal III: Meet the star of Below Deck's sailing yacht spin-off

As the 54 metre superyacht Parsifal III returns to screens for season three of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , her owner Kim Vibe-Petersen talks through the realities of filming a reality TV series on board his boat.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht is a spin-off series of the hit superyacht reality TV show Below Deck that follows the lives of the crew and guests across an eight-week charter season. This week, producers confirmed the show will return for a third season of crew drama and on-the-water antics with Perini Navi sailing yacht Parsifal III in the starring role and Captain Glenn Shephard at the helm.

For Danish owner Kim Vibe-Petersen, Parsifal III' s return is yet another opportunity to show off the yacht's charter credentials. Vibe-Petersen was personally approached by Below Deck producers in 2018 after they struggled to find a suitable sailing yacht. Parsifal III fitted the bill as she was already equipped for charter and a number of her existing crew were willing to take part in the show.

The Perini Navi sailing yacht first hit the water in 2005 and rose to instant fame scoring a number of prestigious accolades including a coveted Neptune at the World Superyacht Awards. On her launch she also joined the ranks as one of the fast Perini Navi superyachts on the water with a top speed of 18 knots under full sail granted by two high-tech carbon masts, automated in-boom furling and a winged keel.

Vibe-Petersen admitted there were some yacht owners who didn’t want the names of their yachts connected with the drama-filled reality show, but he “didn’t have that concern.” Although he had the option to change the yacht’s name for filming, he decided to keep it to maximise the charter appeal of  Parsifal III .

“It’s free advertising,” he said. “The name of the yacht will come to people’s minds, especially to someone who has never chartered a yacht before. They will see that name and know the boat from the show.”

Vibe-Petersen was also keen to secure a guaranteed packed charter schedule during low season. “I think there were a lot of boats that did not want to be chartered for the show but it's good money in the bank,” he said.

While admitting he might not be the “specific audience targeted by the series,” he said he has sat down to watch the first series, which took place in Corfu. Even in Vibe-Peterson’s home country of Denmark, the US show has gained a big following.

“This is the kind of show where they want to make a little drama,” he added. “It’s not that wild on board a normal charter.” The conveyor belt of colourful guests are chosen by the production team and given a “big discount” for appearing on the show.

Vibe-Petersen also explained the complicated logistics of filming Below Deck , each season of which features 16 charters filmed across a period of eight weeks. This means that two groups of guests separately charter the yacht in a single week. Meanwhile, the production team require a time period of at least a week to get  Parsifal III  rigged up and fit for filming. “There are 30 people on board each day with lots of wires and cameras – it’s a big, big operation."

Season one was filmed in Corfu, Greece, which posed a number of challenges for  Parsifal III as the sailing yacht was required to have a specific charter licence. “It’s pretty tough to get that,” said Vibe-Petersen. “It’s not something we can do within a short amount of time. It can take 10 to 12 weeks to get a charter licence so it takes time.”

For her second season, Parsifal III was filmed cruising Croatia's 3,600 miles of coastline. This season, the show will follow Parsifal III as she cruises around the Spanish island of Menorca, carrying a mix of new and old crew. Returning faces include chief stew Daisy Kelliher, chief engineer Colin MacRae, and first mate Gary King while new chef Marcos Spaziani will grace the screen for the first time together with second stew Gabriela Barragan, third stew Ashley Marti and deckhands Kelsie Goglia and Tom Pearson.

Exclusive: Virtual tour inside Below Deck Yacht 'The Wellington'

• Share this on Facebook

• Share via Email

By Editorial Team   28 April 2020

Take a closer look inside the yacht from Below Deck Mediterranean Season 5, Spain edition: the 184'5 (56.2m) superyacht  'The Wellington' .

With some truly unique features including a cigar lounge and quirky 1920's interior theme, The Wellington  (also known as the Wellesley) is one of the most impressive yachts ever to feature on Below Deck Mediterranean.

She is also the largest yacht ever to star on the hit Bravo TV series.

Curious to take a look around? The Virtual Tour below will give you a sneak peek inside   Below Deck Mediterranean Season 5 superyacht the Wellington .

Virtual Tour inside superyacht The Wellington (aka The Wellesley)

The yacht was launched in 1993 by prestigious Dutch shipyard Oceanco.  A complete refit in 2016 ensures she remains modern, fresh and is equipped with all the latest facilities and technology to ensure a relaxed yacht charter vacation . 

She is the perfect host for the new season of Below Deck Mediterranean, as Captain Sandra Yawn explains in the video below. She is accompanied by Bosun Malia White and Chief Stewardess Hannah Ferrier as they give a tour of the yacht. 

Captain Sandy takes you on a tour of The Wellington

What's the real name of the below deck mediterranean season 5 yacht.

For the purpose of the show, the yacht in Below Deck Med Season 5 is called 'The Wellington.' In real life, the charter yacht is actually 'The Wellesley'. Often the names of the yachts on Below Deck will be changed; read our article  'Below Deck Yacht Real Names and Cost to Rent' for more information.

Great Gatsby-style Interiors

As you can see from the virtual tour, the yacht's interiors are seriously stunning. 

They have been created by world-renowned designer Donald Starkey, and the Art Deco theme is reflected across all areas of the superyacht.

The yacht's main salon can be found on the upper deck. An elegant nameplate greets guests when they step inside via the aft deck, and black and white photos on the wall add some character to the living space.

A color palette of light gray and cream creates a soothing ambiance, while wide windows let in plenty of light and air during the day. On the forward wall, a large TV screen with a range of on-demand movies allows the space to function as a movie theater.

Forward of the main salon is the formal dining salon, which seats up to 10 guests. 

The Club Lounge

The piece de resistance is a bespoke, glass-encased humidor which displays a range of vintage cigars.

On the bridge deck above, the yacht's classic club lounge is a beautiful and unusual touch not often seen on yachts. The salon has a timeless theme, with leather seating, a warm coffee color palette and noir photographs depicting historical icons smoking. 

The piece de resistance is a bespoke, glass-encased humidor to port. It showcases a huge variety of vintage cigars, and is flanked either side by decadent whiskey cabinets with snakeskin embossing and crystal glasses.

The space is more intimate than the main salon below, and benefits from an entertainment system and small study space.

Accommodation

The motor yacht offers accommodation for up to 12 guests in five cabins.

A master cabin on the owner’s deck offers incredible views, a king-size double bed and a walk-in closet. A small vanity and bijou lounging area ensures the principal charter guests are totally catered to.

Adjoining the master cabin is a decadent en-suite finished in gold-veined black marble with a sit-down shower and his and hers sinks. Not including the en suite and walk-in closet, the master suite spans 40 square metres.

The master suite spans 40 square metres, not including the en suite and walk-in closet.

Close to the Owner's cabin, the nanny’s cabin is also conveniently located on this deck. It features twin beds and ensuite bathroom.

The remaining cabins are situated on the lower deck and include a 30sqm full-beam VIP Cabin with king-size double bed, a spacious walk-in closet and a generous bathroom en suite including a separate shower and a separate head.

There is a Queen- size cabin to Starboard and Twin cabin to Port; both benefit from ensuite facilities.

Sundeck pool with waterfall feature

The yacht has one of the largest volumes of open deck space for a yacht of her size class, and one of the favorite spot while on charter is the sundeck.

Here, a large pool offers the perfect spot for lying back and soaking up the sights. It has an innovative 'spillpool' feature, with a waterfall that feeds fresh water into the tub. 

As ever, we can expect to see the yachties from Below Deck Med enjoying the jacuzzi to the fullest after big crew nights out!

As well as the pool, the sundeck also boasts a large alfresco dining arrangement, a variety of sunloungers and a barbecue. 

Outdoor barbecue

The Wellington is one of the few Below Deck yachts to feature an alfresco barbecue grill on deck. We're keeping our fingers crossed that new chef Kiko Lorran will be putting it to the test and whipping some gourmet delights on the barbecue. 

Ample alfresco areas including generous beach club

Guests on Below Deck Mediterranean will find no shortage of places to enjoy the sunshine on board the Wellington. As well as her sundeck, she also has a large lounge area on her upper deck aft, which is adjoined by a  sunpad spread.

 There is an alfresco dining set-up on her main deck aft, where guests can enjoy their meals while still feeling connected to the sea and their surroundings.

The finishing touch is the beach club, which is a welcome retreat where guests can sit back and relax in the shade or bask in the sun on the swim platform. 

The yacht has an excellent selection of water toys and accessories, which includes Seabobs and Jet-skis. All of these can easily be accessed via the swim platform, and will ensure hours of fun splashing in the water.

Gary King answers Below Deck Sailing Yacht questions amid Season 5 delay

Below Deck Sailing Yacht star Gary King has been answering fan questions as we all wait for news on Season 5 of the hit yachting show.

It’s been over a year since Season 5 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht was filmed.

While waiting for more Below Deck Sailing Yacht news, Gary took to Instagram to answer some questions.

Several of those questions had to do with him returning for another season.

“Aww thanks :) I will if they ask me back,” he wrote in one slide, which was a picture of him doing a confessional on the show.

Another reply from Gary stated, “It’s not up to me :) but if they back I’d for sure do it for sure.”

The reality TV star also let a fan know to tell the powers that be on the show they want him back.

Other questions from Gary’s Instagram Q&A session had to do with some of his cast members from Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

Gary was asked if he still keeps in touch with Chief Marcos Spaziani, to which Gary replied he just saw him in Los Angeles recently. Marcos was also given props from Gary, who claimed he couldn’t pick a favorite chef’s dish because anything from Marcos was the bomb.

When asked about his favorite season to film, Gary replied, “Goona say season 3 due to the giggle club.”

One fan wanted to know if Gary still keeps in touch with Captain Glenn Shephard. Gary said he had just spoken to the captain for about an hour the day before.

Gary’s friendship with Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher was another hot topic. They do still keep in touch and even reunited just a couple of weeks ago.

In a fun fact kind of way, Gary shared a behind-the-scenes picture from filming.

What’s happening with Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5?

Below Deck Sailing Yacht has already been delayed for months. In the past, the sailing show aired in the summer. However, Below Deck Med slipped into that spot this year with Season 9 currently airing.

Bravo did tease that Season 5 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht would hit Bravo airwaves this fall. The network continues to have promos for all the Real Housewives shows returning this fall but not Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

Only three episodes remain in Below Deck Med Season 9, and no trailer for Below Deck Sailing Yacht has been released yet.

All of this has fans worried Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 will be shelved and the show canceled as no leaked photos from Season 6 have surfaced either. The latter is a big deal since by this time of year we should have seen something from filming.

Keep checking back with Monsters and Critics for more details on Below Deck Sailing Yacht, which we hope to have soon.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht is currently on hiatus on Bravo. Seasons 1-4 are streaming on Peacock.

10 Below Deck Chefs Who Were The Villains Of Their Season

Below Deck chefs can go from heroes to villains incredibly quickly. The reality yachting series spotlights the lives of the crews working on superyachts. At the helm of each team is the captain, tasked with running a smooth operation on a superyacht. Franchise favorites include Captain Lee Rosbach and Captain Jason Chambers. The Chief Stew and Bosun lead the interior and exterior departments and are the direct line of contact for the stews and deckhands. If the captain, Chief Stew, and Bosun work in harmony, the charter seasons typically succeed, but not without the chef.

As one of the most important jobs on the superyacht, guests typically base their tips on the success of the culinary experts. It’s a pressure-filled job, and some crew members haven’t been able to withstand the stressors of the role. Throughout the history of the show, there have been plenty of incredible chefs featured, but there are also been many lackluster chefs who leave their seasons feeling bland. Chef Anthony Iracane recently debuted on Below Deck season 11 to great reception, though he couldn’t handle the pressure and was fired. Chefs can be the most beloved crew members, but they can also be the villains.

Chef Ben Robinson

Below deck seasons 1-3, below deck mediterranean seasons 1 & 4.

Ben Robinson is one of the most memorable Below Deck personalities. He served as chef on numerous series, including the first season of the mainstay show and the first spin-off, Below Deck Mediterranean . There’s no doubting Chef Ben’s culinary expertise, though he had a few villainous moments across his multiple stints with the franchise . He had an attitude that rubbed people wrong at times. Chef Ben had an ego that came out in his confessional interviews and felt exacerbated by the cameras. Nonetheless, he’s regarded as the best chef and one of the most entertaining personalities to appear in the series.

Chef Mila Kolomeitseva

Below deck mediterranean season 5.

Chef Mila Kolomeitseva was likely a producer plant to cause chaos on Below Deck Med . She made franchise history as the first female chef to appear on the show but quickly became famous for her terrible performance in the galley. Chef Mila made balent mistakes with her dishes and often shocked Chief Stew Hannah Ferrier with her lack of ability. She notoriously tried to make pancakes with boxed mix, licked steaks on camera, and made a terrible plate of nachos for guests. Captain Sandy Yawn made the right decision to fire her, though her casting in the first place is an anomaly for viewers.

Chef Mathew Shea

Below deck mediterranean season 6.

Chef Matthew Shea was quite the personality on Below Deck Med season 6. He did not get along swimmingly with his co-workers in the slightest. However, Chef Matthew seemingly clashed with Captain Sandy the most. She admitted the chef would have been fired if they hadn’t filmed during COVID-19, and she could have found a justifiable replacement for him. At the reunion, Captain Sandy said she was flabbergasted watching his behavior during the season, and Chef Matthew said she was “ one of the worst captains ” he’d worked with.

Chef Nick Tatlock

Below deck season 11.

Chef Nick Tatlock stepped in as Anthony's replacement in Below Deck season 11 . He had big shoes to fill as the crew grew close to Chef Anthony during the beginning of the charter season. However, once he stepped foot on the St. David, he didn’t mesh well with the rest of the cast. Nick ostracized himself when making weird comments toward Stew Paris Field about her weight. When the stew admitted she loved mayonnaise, he warned her not to consume too much as a warning of her weight. Outside his beef with Paris, he didn't get along great with Chief Stew Fraser Olender, and it’s never good for the chef and Chief Stew to be at odds.

Chef Kevin Dobson

Below deck season 7.

Chef Kevin Dobson would likely say Kate Chastain was the villain of Below Deck season 7, but that’s not the case. The chef and Chief Stew had issues with each other during their time working alongside one another. Instead of taking accountability for his mistakes, Chef Kevin blamed his faults on Kate. He was obsessed with calling out her wrongdoings, and his focus on Kate eventually led to his dismissal. Chef Kevin notoriously forgot to prepare dinner for Captain Lee when he joined the guests for dinner one night . It was a wild moment at the time, but looking back, it’s unfortunate yet comical that he was too busy worrying about the Chief Stew to cook dinner for the captain.

Chef Rachel Hargrove

Below deck seasons 8-10.

Rachel Hargrove was an unhinged fan-favorite Below Deck chef . She’s regarded as one of the best chefs of the franchise, but she’s had some unshining moments throughout her three seasons. During season 8, Eddie Lucas called out her behavior when drinking. This started a feud between the yachties that tainted the charter season. When Chef Rachel got stressed after reading a guest’s preference sheet, she stormed off the boat . Despite the mishap, she realized she was in the wrong, and Captain Lee Rosbach gave her her job back. Chef Rachel became adored by viewers for her unique personality and hilarious confessional moments.

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.

She returned for three consecutive seasons in a row. During each of her Below Deck appearances, Rachel created memorable reality TV moments while serving guests impeccable food. Bravo hasn't found a chef that compares to Rachel, though they have tried. Chef Rachel should return to Below Deck , but her discourse with the show’s production ahead of season 10’s premiere is likely preventing that. Once she revealed private text messages between herself and a producer after tweeting negatively about Southern Charm star Austen Kroll, her fate with the franchise was sealed.

Chef Tom Checketts

Tom Checketts stepped into Below Deck Med season 5 as Chef Hindrigo “Kiko” Lorran’s replacement. At the time, he was dating Bosun Malia White, and it appeared they brought him to highlight their relationship for the show. However, it was apparent that Chef Tom wasn’t prepared for the work ahead of him, and he took out his frustrations on the women of the crew. Tom was erratic, unorganized, and rude to his co-workers, though he finished the charter season without being fired.

Chef Adam Glick

Below deck sailing yacht season 1 & below deck mediterranean seasons 2 & 3.

Chef Adam Glick has appeared in several seasons of the Below Deck franchise, though his most infamous moment occurred during Below Deck Med season 2. When the guests asked for no onion in their food, Adam completely disregarded their preferences on numerous occasions . When Hannah asked him to not include onions in his dishes, he rebelled and did so out of spite for the Chief Stew. Chef Adam even lied to Captain Sandy and told him he wasn’t cooking with the ingredient while he certainly was.

Chef Leon Walker

Below deck season 3.

Leon Walker was praised for his work on Below Deck season 3, but his terrible attitude dragged down his performance on the show. He clashed with Chief Stew Kate often, consistently turning down her support. At times, Chef Leon refused to prepare dishes that were requested of him. However, his breaking point in the franchise was when he started a fire in the galley due to uncleanliness . If Chef Leon was open to criticism, the mistake could have been prevented. Nonetheless, he was fired from his position as chef and hasn’t returned to the show since.

Chef Ryan McKeown

Below deck down under season 1.

Chef Ryan McKeown was the undisputed villain of Below Deck Down Under season 1. Right off the bat, it was clear he would be a difficult crew member to work with. When Aesha attempted to get to know him, he shut her down and complained about the Chief Stew’s involvement in the galley. Chef Ryan was rude to her and the rest of the cast for no reason. His attitude worsened when he was drinking out with the crew. On one occasion, he threatened to fight a man who was making comments about women.

While it was admirable that he stood up for his crew, he shouldn’t have threatened physical violence. Chef Ryan didn’t get along with Aesha in the slightest. He complained about her behind her back with stew Magda Ziomek. When Chef Ryan’s food was critiqued by the guests, he didn’t care in the slightest. Captain Jason encouraged him to improve his work, and the chef argued that he didn’t have to please the captain. After a verbal argument between the captain and chef, plus a lackluster dinner that left the guests disappointed, Chef Ryan was finally fired at the end of season 1.

Oftentimes, the chefs on Below Deck exhibit villainous behavior. Their jobs can be difficult as preparing all the food for guests with specific preferences is quite the chore. The pressure on the chefs sometimes gets to their heads, and they can turn into the villains of the franchise.

The Below Deck franchise is available to stream on Peacock.

Below Deck is a popular reality TV franchise that focuses on a group of crew members as they work on luxurious yachts and cater to their client's needs. After the original series proved to be a success, Bravo developed a handful of spinoff shows including Below Deck Selling Yacht, Below Deck Adventure, Below Deck Down Under, and Below Deck Mediterranean.

Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 may just be wrapping up, but the cast is hard at work filming the next season of the series and dropping hints about what’s to come in Below Deck Mediterranean season 10 . While the rotating crew aspect of the series means that Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 may not feature quite the same cast as its successor, viewers are always hopeful that there will be familiar faces in the next season of the series. Although there have always been returning yachties from season to season, things could change for the next season of the series.

As Captain Sandy Yawn and the rest of the Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 crew finish out the charter season, there are some changes that viewers will be looking for in the next season of the series. With many fed up with Stew Ellie Dubaich, along with the love triangle she’s been part of with Lead Deckhand Joe Bradley and Stew Bri Muller, viewers are hoping that the drama in the upcoming season is a bit less stale. For some, the issues that Chef Johnathan Shillingford has been facing are tiring, while others are interested in the drama sticking around .

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10 News

The crew is working aboard a new superyacht.

While there’s been no real confirmation about Below Deck Mediterranean season 10 , there has been some news released about the upcoming season of the popular series. While the last few seasons of Below Deck Med have taken place aboard the superyacht Mustique, the upcoming season is being filmed on a new superyacht. A smaller vessel, it appears that Captain Sandy and her crew will be taking guests out on charters through Spain on the Bravado Valletta . Apparently, the new superyacht is about 10 meters shorter than Mustique and sleeps fewer crew members in its cabins, but is in working order.

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10 Potential Cast

There appear to be some exciting returns.

Some information has been released about the cast that will join Captain Sandy aboard Bravado Valletta, with some of the exterior team members having been spotted aboard while filming for Below Deck Med. Current Deckhand Nathan Gallagher is likely joining Below Deck Mediterranean season 10, as he’s been spotted aboard the deck. Another familiar face is likely returning to Below Deck Med with Nathan on the exterior team in Max Salvador , who hasn’t been on the show since Below Deck Mediterranean season 8 . Though Max left to pursue a career in another industry entirely, he’s been spotted aboard Bravado Valletta.

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10 Potential Release Date

The season will likely have a similar timeline to the last.

Although Below Deck Mediterranean season 10 hasn’t formally been picked up yet, the series is returning for another season that’s already filming on the coast of Spain. With crew members already reporting for duty and confirmation of filming’s start from Captain Sandy , it’s likely that viewers will get the chance to see the next installment of Below Deck Med in the summer of 2025. Unfortunately, the season likely won’t be out any time before then. Below Deck Mediterranean viewers will have to wait for the show to come back in the next calendar year, and rely on spoilers for now.

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

Bri Defends Controversial Color Beads Laundry System: "My Brain Does Get Tired"

Below Deck Mediterranean   Season 9 stewardess Bri Muller  came up with a potential solution for her  ongoing laundry struggles  on Episode 14: a color beads laundry system.

Bri explained at the time that she learned about said system after seeking laundry advice on a social media page for yachties. Chief stewardess Aesha Scott and Captain Sandy Yawn  ultimately agreed that she could implement the method, and the rest was history.

Fast-forward to the subsequent Sept. 2 episode of the Below Deck Mediterranean   After Show , during which Bri elaborated about her decision to go with the new color beads system.

"Sometimes my brain does get tired," she began. "If you ask me to read a book or look at some numbers, that's not gonna trigger my brain as fast as it would with colors. So, I was thinking maybe colors would be better for me, let's give that a go. It's not like it's ever too late to try."

Bri continued: "From my experience recently, when I've gotten onto other bigger boats, they have systems that [are] already there, so you just have to follow their system. For us, it was like, immediately getting onto the boat having to clean it for the guests [...] we didn't have time."

What is Bri Muller's color beads laundry system on Below Deck Med ?

Bri's color bead laundry system is actually quite simple. Instead of looking at the names written inside clothes (Aesha made crew members put their names on their items with a Sharpie at the beginning of the season), Bri decided to use clip-on beads with colors that were assigned to each of her crewmates. This way, she knew exactly which piece belonged to which coworker at first sight and was able to organize accordingly.

Bri Muller's laundry troubles on Below Deck Med Season 9

Fans may recall that Bri's laundry struggles — coupled with her ongoing drama involving fellow stew Elena "Ellie" Dubaich  — nearly got her fired. As Aesha put it earlier this season, "Laundry is Bri's Achilles heel."

But for a while, Aesha remained patient with Bri. The way she saw it, "If I can help her overcome that and get the squabbling sorted out, she could be a great stew. Well, a good stew. Well, a passable stew. OK, maybe she would just be a stew, but not a bad one."

Related: Elena Dubaich Has a Surprising Message For Bri Muller After Season 9: "I Truly Regret..."

Aesha, however, lost much of her confidence in Bri as the season went on and she continued to lose articles of clothing — even Sandy's. This is what led to Bri's near-firing , but thankfully for her, Captain Sandy concluded, "In all fairness, the third stew is entry-level. I'm not gonna fire her for losing a shirt. But this, we have to correct."

The captain instructed Bri to "develop a system," and it seems as though that's exactly what she did.

‘Below Deck: Mediterranean’ Star Needs a Serious Reality Check

You’ve reached your account maximum for followed topics.

When being a part of the Below Deck: Mediterranean cast, their goals include wanting to grow in the yachting industry to become either a Chief Stew or a Bosun. This is the case with Ellie Dubaich from Season 9, who has shown throughout the season how one of her main goals in her career as a stewardess is to become a Chief Stew someday. This is a dream any of them strive for, but Ellie has shown the opposite, as she is not ready for that role whatsoever. Regarding power rankings, Chief Stew is in charge of the interior team and delegates who will be in charge of each section of the boat, whether it is service or cleaning. As the second stew, Ellie is the person that Aesha needs to rely on whenever she is busy and has to delegate some responsibilities, since they are the ones who have more experience.

During the season, Chief Stew Aesha Scott struggled with Ellie and Third Stew Bri Mueller as they have had issues with their jobs and personal lives, both having a crush on deckhand Joe Bradley. With these issues, as a second stew, Ellie needed to put her job first and not bring any of their drama to their work, but she failed to do so as she started to be condescending towards Bri about mistakes she made as a third stew. She has not taken the time to give Bri any constructive criticism to help her grow in the department. Instead, she has tried to throw her under the bus with Aesha and Captain Sandy Yawn . Throughout the season, Bri has also not been the perfect stew, as she has made mistakes during charters, has not taken accountability for her errors, and has pointed fingers at someone else. Besides her mistakes, she has also claimed she has been micromanaged throughout her time on Mustique by Aesha when, in reality, Aesha has not been able to leave her in charge whenever she needs to take a break. Ellie made mistakes and showed her lack of experience throughout the charter season. Ellie has the right formula to become a Chief Stew, but she needs to understand by listening to her superiors who want to help her evolve and be taken down her high horse, on which she believes she has made no mistakes.

Ellie Went Through a Power Trip Against Bri

When viewers first met Ellie Dubaich on Season 9 of Below Deck: Mediterranean , she showed initiative to learn because she loves her work and wants to become a Chief Stew . From her and Bri Mueller, on paper, she also had the most experience, which is why Aesha Scott decided to give her the role of a second stewardess on the boat, as she had also already done a season in the Mustique before Season 9, which gave her more experience on the yacht as well. Becoming the second stewardess meant that Ellie would be the second in command when it came to Aesha taking breaks or if she was away with the guests; another part of her role meant she would be the one to help Aesha to train Bri with her duties, since she was the greenest out of the two of them . What seemed an easy task for Ellie became a bigger problem for Aesha, which almost meant having to fire both .

One of the main reasons the two stews were having issues was because they both had grown a crush on deckhand Joe Bradley, and it did not help that he strung them along, making them take their competition into the love department carryover during their work. Ellie showed that she was going through a power trip when it came to her position, as she started to act condescending towards Bri during their roles and even went on to call her out because she did not have much experience. Bri stood up for herself and told Ellie she felt she was belittling her , which triggered Ellie to say, "Your lack of experience is in you not being aware of how a boat works." This statement towards Bri should not have been told as Bri had already been dealing with the stress of feeling she was not good enough for her job, and now she had one of her coworkers accentuate that by saying it out loud. If Ellie wants to become a Chief Stew, she should learn different ways to express concerns so that she doesn't have to bring down everyone and instead find ways to help everyone grow in the department. If 2/3 of the department does not get along, it becomes a recipe for disaster and more work for Chief Stew.

Aesha's Relationship with Ellie Has Taken a Toll

As a Chief Stew, Aesha Scott has to put on many hats since she is the one who has had the most experience in the yachting world, but her doing everyone's job also means that she risks becoming burnt out . This is why Chief Stews need to have second stews who they can rely on whenever they need to take some time apart from the job to recover. This season, though, she has struggled with Ellie. She said she has the experience, but her work has not shown her expertise. During one of the episodes where Aesha needed to take a break, she left Ellie in charge of setting the table and ensuring the guests were always served. Aesha had to stop her break early because Ellie kept asking Bri many questions that should have been easy fixes, and she did not take the time to set the table for the guests' lunch. At that moment , Ellie started feeling she was being micromanaged and that Aesha did not trust her to lead the service alone . After that, Ellie began to make more mistakes and wasn't taking accountability for her errors, like making poor drinks for guests and leaving her phone behind in a guest's cabin when they were not supposed to be on their phones. Aesha decided to call her out on her behavior, and Ellie started feeling attacked instead of taking this as constructive criticism.

This season has taken a toll on Aesha as she has had to work harder on a yacht that requires a team of four stewardesses, and her stews are inexperienced. Luckily, even though the charter season is almost over, she can have a breather as Captain Sandy has recruited a fourth stew to relieve Aesha. What may seem as a positive for the interior team has been taken as a negative by Ellie as she felt threatened in her role, since new stew Carrie O'Neill has more experience than her on paper, which could mean her role as second stew could be taken over. Ellie started questioning Aesha about where Carrie would be in the team as she took over her service role and felt she was being pushed to the side. Aesha explains in her confessional that "If you want to make it as a Chief Stew, the most important part of the job is the guest experience, not her second stews insecurities." Ellie takes things personally, and she doesn't separate her professional role from her problems, which can hinder her from achieving her goal of becoming a Chief Stew. For Ellie to make it into the yachting world, she should be able to listen and take criticism, as that is the only way she will grow professionally.
