Former ‘Below Deck’ Stars: Where Are They Now?

Below Deck and its spinoff series have never failed to bring the drama to Bravo fans everywhere since the franchise launched.

The original series premiered in 2013, documenting the daily lives of crew members on luxurious yachts during charter season. With each season, the crew members’ personal lives have begun to cross over into their work lives, leading to shocking reality TV romances, breakups, firings and dramatic exits. In February 2020, longtime Below Deck personality Kate Chastain announced that she would finally be heading back to dry land after six seasons on the ocean.

“After many months of reflection and internal discussions, I have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new land based role. I intend to step back as a senior member of the Below Deck Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support His Majesty Andy Cohen,” she teased via Instagram as she stepped down from her position as part of reality TV royalty.

Chastain later admitted she might not be ready to say goodbye to Bravo forever.

“I don’t know that I would like to do a show like Summer House,” she told Decider during a September 2020 tell-all interview. “I would love to be a New York Housewife because of Sonja [Morgan] alone. Sonja is a national treasure to be protected at all costs. I want to just be Sonja’s intern for a day. That is on my bucket list. I need the full experience. I love her so much, I would do that.”

The second stew and Chastain grew close on season 6 of the Bravo series but haven't kept in touch as often since Carter's exit in 2019. The U.K. native was meant to return to the show to replace Elizabeth Frankini during season 8, but the show wrapped early due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The former bosun only lasted for one season with the Below Deck crew, stepping off the boat after the season 6 finale. He was arrested for disorderly intoxication and battery in West Palm Beach, Florida, in 2018 and spoke out about the "big misunderstanding" at the season 6 reunion. "It was just me and a couple of mates having a night out. That's pretty much all I can say. I can't really elaborate on it," he said at the time. 

In April 2021, Inia announced his engagement to girlfriend Rachel.

During season 7, the second stew brewed a boatmance with deckhand Brian de Saint Pern , but their flame fizzled out at the end of the season. While in quarantine amid the coronavirus pandemic, Skippon spent time at home in Canada and taking a much-needed break from the yachting world.

Since then, she has used her social media accounts to document her travels.

Since leaving Below Deck after season 9, O'Dell has become the captain of his own sailboat. The Florida native hired Below Deck Sailing Yacht alum Gabriela Barragan as his first mate and the two quickly sparked a romance in early 2022.

"We’ve been dating for a couple of months," Barragan told the "Gangplank Report" podcast in April 2022, revealing that her love gave her a Caribbean Hook bracelet.

She explained, "It has like a little horseshoe on it — or like a hook. And if it’s facing outward, it means you’re open. And if it’s facing the other way, it means that you’re taken. So when he gave me the bracelet, he put it on me with the horseshoe, meaning closed. And I looked at him like, ‘Oh!’ And he’s like, ‘Yeah.’ I was like, ‘Awww, that's so cute.'”

Former ‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’ Stars: Where Are They Now?

Paget berry.

Offering a glimpse into their lives. Over the years, Bravo viewers have seen Below Deck Sailing Yacht cast members come and go — but not before they brought drama to the high seas.

The spinoff series, which premiered in 2020, shocked viewers when Dani Soares and Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux 's onscreen fling took a turn once they left Parsifal III . During the season 2 reunion, the second stew revealed that that she was expecting a child — and that her ex-boyfriend was the father.

"Let's put it this way, This baby was made during the season while we had cameras 24/7 with us and I only slept with one guy," Dani said in June 2021. "He hasn't supported me at all in any way. He thinks it is not his child and he doesn't want to have anything to do with it."

Jean-Luc, for his part, explained in an individual interview that he wanted a DNA test to confirm the paternity before getting involved. "I want to be there for you," he explained while recording a message for his former costar during the reunion . "Though you may not want anything to do with me because of me asking you for a paternity test, that's something that I can get over. But what I can't get over if this is my child is not being there for her."

At the time, the deckhand noted that he wanted his relationship with Dani to get to a better place.

"Dani, what we had on the show for me was real. I don't care what anybody says, even now that we're going through what we are going through. What I felt for you, and the time that we had, was genuine. Everything that I ever said to you was true," he added. "The fact that we are at where we are now, I am really sorry and I would assume to say that most of it is my fault."

Seven months after Dani welcomed her daughter, Jean-Luc confirmed that he was the father . “I’m happy and proud to say sweet and beautiful Lilly Rose is my daughter,” he wrote via Instagram in January 2022. “Dani and I have been working and communicating together to the best of our ability. This is imperative [to work out] for the sake of our daughter as she needs both parents in her life.”

During season 3 of the hit Bravo series, fans focused on the connection between another duo. Gary King and Daisy Kelliher became a topic of conversation after their tumultuous relationship seemingly turned romantic.

“What can I say, I’m not picky when it comes to making out with people. I’ll pretty much make out with anyone," the chief stew said via Instagram in January 2022 after footage of her making out with Gary was released. “I’m really enjoying how many people’s minds are blown [about Gary]. No one’s mind was more blown than mine the next day. I have no recollection of that kiss.”

Meanwhile, the bosun revealed that he wouldn't rule out a potential romance in the future.

“I think there’s something there between Daisy and I, for sure. The more I spend time with Daisy and the more I get to know her, the more I like her,” he said on Daisy's “Pita Party” Instagram show with Alli Dore in June 2022. “We’ve never really actually spent some quality time together. A little bit here and there, but it hasn’t been for, like, a week, you know? Doing a TV show is a bit different. You’ve got cameras around all the time, you’ve got other people there, so I find that’s different.”

Below Deck Season 1: Where Are The Cast Members Now?

Sailing through the oceanic blues, Bravo’s ‘Below Deck’ chronicles the lives of crew members aboard a mega yacht as they reside and work on the vessel during the charter season. The reality television show was launched in 2013 and has juxtaposed the thrill of sailing with the drama of its crew. As the Chief Stew, Captain, Deckhands, and Chef try to navigate the interpersonal conflicts of their workplace, several chaotic themes follow. Years since the debut season came on air, fans have been curious to find out the whereabouts of the original cast members. So, if you also want to know the whereabouts of the reality stars, look no further because we’ve got all the answers right here!

Lee Rosbach is Navigating Life Beyond Reality TV

At 73, Captain Lee Rosbach has led his crew on sails for more than three decades. The television personality was once a Wendy’s manager. His first encounter with the ocean came in his mid-30s when he and his wife, Mary Anne, moved to Turks & Caicos to run a restaurant. At 35, Lee obtained his Captain’s license and has since never looked back. Commonly referred to as the “Stud of the Sea,” he has been in the business for more than four decades. However, after leading his crew for ten seasons, Captain Lee bid his final farewell to the Bravo reality show.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Captain Lee Rosbach (@captain_lee_rosbach)

During season 10 of ‘Below Deck,’ fans witnessed Lee’s worsening health conditions, leading to him temporarily sitting out. The reality TV star has been facing mobility issues that have led to high pain levels. Ultimately, the network didn’t invite the boat captain back for season 11. Many have speculated that Lee’s exit from the show came after he conflicted with Captain Sandy Yawn in season 10. Yet, these rumors stand unconfirmed. Nevertheless, Lee Rosbach has now teamed up with Kate Chastain, hosting Bravo’s new series, ‘Couch Talk with Captain Lee and Kate.’

The revered Captain and former chief stew break down the biggest Bravo TV moments of the week on their new show. On the personal front, Lee continues to enjoy life with his family and loved ones. After losing his son , Joshua, at 42, to an opioid addiction in 2019, he has become extensively vocal about rehabilitation for people struggling with addiction. Despite sustaining such an incredible loss, the family continues to honor Joshua’s memory through donations and giving testimony in front of Congress.

Aleks Taldykin is Leading in Yacht Management

Originally picked up by the production house to enact the role of Captain on the yacht, Aleks was ultimately replaced by Captain Lee Rosbach after the yacht owner expressed his discomfort with him taking over the reins. Eventually, he became the Captain’s next-in-command but didn’t return to the series after season 1.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Aleks Taldykin (@captaleks)

Since his exit from the show, Aleks has maintained his love for the ocean and is currently the CEO of Elite Yacht Management, a company servicing yachts from the Pacific to the Atlantic. He is also a Yacht Broker specializing in selling large motor yachts in California. In 2016, Aleks had also appeared on ‘Vanderpump Rules.’ At 33, the television personality enjoys life with his wife and family.

Ben Robinson is Engaging in Culinary Ventures and Content Creation

With several credentials, including an apprenticeship at Chef Heston Blumenthal’s restaurant, The Fat Duck, Ben brought his intersectional knowledge of restaurant and catering to ‘ Below Deck .’ However, the reality TV star ultimately left the show after season 2. Ben later appeared on ‘Below Deck: Mediterranean’ and ‘Below Deck: Galley Talk.’ Surprisingly, the certified health coach was briefly speculated to be the father of Chief Stew Kate Chastain’s baby. However, both have time and again denounced trolls for such rumors.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Chef Ben Robinson (@benstogram)

On the personal front, the 42-year-old is engaged to Kiara Cabral. After nearly four years of dating, the television personality went down on his knee at the Vatican to profess his love. When Ben isn’t enjoying his time with friends and family, he’s engaged in several other commitments. Furthermore, he is a TikTok and Cameo creator who sells his personal merchandise brand and offers several services through online channels.

Adrienne Gang is Expanding Her Culinary Expertise

Despite her short-lived stint on ‘Below Deck,’ Adrienne quickly became a fan-favorite for dealing with a difficult crew. The 39-year-old Chief Stew has found herself busy with other endeavors. Apart from freelancing as a stew on different boats, she has also returned to her job as a Chef. Before taking up the role in reality television, Adrienne had been a professional chef for eight years.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Adrienne Gang (@adriennegang)

The television personality is now working at the Culinary Vegetable Institute and Chef’s Garden, honing her skills and expanding her work portfolio. On the family front, Adrienne is married to Chiropractor Dr. Andrew Banks. The couple tied the knot in 2018 in a beachfront ceremony and have enjoyed marital bliss ever since. Sadly, they faced a substantial loss in 2021 after they miscarried their baby. Nevertheless, Adrienne and Andrew remain unfazed by these struggles and enjoy their life with their dog, Buddy. In addition, she hosts the ‘Gangplant Report’ podcast.

C.J. LeBeau is Actively Working in Marketing

Disembarking from the yacht just before the crew could take its final charter, C.J. Beau quickly became disinterested in the activities onboard and eventually left the boat behind. Since then, he has not reappeared in the series and has maintained a profile outside the media. Shortly after the season ended, C.J. was taken into police custody in Phoenix, Arizona, for allegedly getting in a physical altercation with his then-fiance.

The television personality was reportedly charged with intentional assault and defacing property. It was also reported that C.J. allegedly broke his fiance’s cell phone during the fight. Later, he became the Sales Director for Direct Source Distributing, a marketing company based in San Diego. On the personal front, C.J. has maintained privacy and doesn’t disclose his private information.

Kat Held is Pursuing Nursing and Bartending

Despite repeatedly knocking heads with the Chief Stew, Kat quickly became a fan-favorite for her famous phrases. However, she ended up leaving the show after season 2. Since then, Kat has been pursuing different opportunities. The 39-year-old worked as a waitress before eventually returning to nursing school in 2017. Kat also worked as a Bartender in Las Vegas and currently likes to keep her personal and professional details under wraps. Moreover, the television personality attended ‘Watch What Happens Live’ with her ‘Below Deck’ costars in 2020.

Samantha Orme is Building a New Life and Career

While Samantha’s time was full of ups and downs on the yacht, the television personality decided she wanted more in life and not just work at a mega yacht. Shortly after exiting the show, she met Bradley Ulmer, a Coast Guard Helicopter Pilot, and the two hit it off. The couple decided to tie the knot a few months into dating.

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

Subsequently, the duo welcomed their daughters, Blake and Molly. On the professional front, 36-year-old Samantha has accrued equal success. The television personality was the Vice President of a Solar Energy Firm before she returned to study Industrial Engineering. She is currently working as the Enterprise Program Manager for Fidelity National Information Services.

Eddie Lucas is Commanding the Harbor

After appearing as the Deckhand in season 1, Eddie ultimately became a Bosun and the First Officer on the Bravo series. Yet, after eight seasons, he decided to leave the franchise entirely. Eddie is now the Captain of a harbor tug boat in the Baltimore Harbor. The homeowner had revealed in an interview with The New York Post that he gets paid the lowest amount compared to other shows on Bravo.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Eddie Lucas (@eddielucas)

It is also speculated that Eddie’s arguments with Rayna Lindsey over alleged homophobic comments could have been the reason for his departure from the show. Nevertheless, these speculations have not been entertained by the television personality. Instead, the 38-year-old has left behind the reality television life and now focuses on chartering to the Caribbean and experiencing the best of the ocean life with his dog named Bert, as well as friends and loved ones.

David Bradberry is Pursuing Acting Opportunities

Sailing through the season without any conflict, David’s endearing demeanor won countless viewers during the show. Regardless, the reality TV star ultimately left the series following his appearance in season 1. Since then, David has explored a path in entertainment and starred in works like, ‘Confessions,’ ‘The Last Straight Man,’ ‘Fiendish Things,’ and ‘The Men Next Door.’ On the personal front, the 37-year-old is no longer with his boyfriend featured in ‘Below Deck.’ The television personality has since kept his dating life under wraps and loves to maintain a private profile.

How ‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’ Can Pick Up Some Wind In Its Sails For Season 2

Where to Stream:

• Below Deck Sailing Yacht

Ariana Madix's Brother Jeremy Charged With Attempting To Smuggle 100 Pounds Of Cannabis

'rhonj' fans slam teresa giudice's "cruel" husband louie ruelas for wishing suffering on margaret josephs' family: "this guy is literally the devil", 'real housewives' spinoff starring dorinda medley in the works at bravo, 'southern charm' prematurely parting ways with olivia flowers robs viewers of a reality star who had just come into her own.

The first season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht has come to an end, and even though that charter guest didn’t have any drugs on him, maybe this season of the Bravo series could’ve used some. Despite the fact that Sailing Yacht was the latest addition to the proven win that is the boating franchise, including Below Deck and Below Deck Mediterranean , that didn’t stop this season from needing a bit of wind in its sails.

But let’s focus on the positive first. Sailing Yacht showed viewers a new side to the industry with these sleek sailing boats that move unlike any of the other motor yachts we’ve seen before. The way the wind would catch in those sails and the boat would be thriving, that was truly majestic to watch. There was an element of action and adventure to this series that the others can’t claim.

We also met Captain Glenn who was the perfect captain for this boat. His laid back attitude, willingness to jump up and fix a sail, and adorable admissions during his interviews made him an excellent leader for this show. He’s bringing something different to the table than Captain Lee and Captain Sandy, but he is also capable of showing the same support and sternness when necessary. He was a true delight.

And now, the waters get a little choppy. Viewers were excited to see Chef Adam return for the series after his two-season stint on Below Deck Mediterranean , but this didn’t feel like the Adam we know and love. He’s always been a self-proclaimed grump who just wants to be left alone while he makes his masterpiece meals —and the food did look incredible. But his romance with chief stew Jenna was not nearly the fairytale we hoped for. It was kind of the opposite, even. Their frustrations with each other were our frustrations watching their relationship hit several speed bumps. And the more they seemed to fall for each other, the meaner they became to their coworkers, especially Jenna, in order to have something to laugh about together. Considering how much time they spent together hugging and kissing and flirting in the kitchen, the only thing they were really cooking up was a bad taste in everyone’s mouths.

View this post on Instagram Feeling the Sunday scaries creep in. A post shared by Decider.com (@deciderdotcom) on May 17, 2020 at 3:08pm PDT

The only breakout from the interior was second stew Madison. Sure, she got herself worked up under the pressure of the job at times, but she still seemed to get the work done and had funny things to say in her interviews. She let viewers in on a big part of her life, she forgot to wear a bra to a beach picnic, and had the best facial reactions of anyone. Ultimately, she had the right mix of getting the job done and still being interesting for reality TV, which no one else on the boat really captured. If there’s another season of this show, bring her back as chief stew — it’s likely that would prevent the season from ever getting boring.

Then there’s Georgia. I’d love to know the details of the deal she clearly made with producers. Was it that they promised her 10 seconds of singing time in each episode in exchange for her pushing the forced “feelings for Paget” storyline? That never made any sense for a lot of reasons. If the two were close pals, that’s great. But he was clearly committed to Ciara, and despite their typical couple bickering, the two seem to be a strong match.

Deckhand Chris was nice and the kind of person you need to balance out a group of crazies, but everyone here was unfortunately normal(ish). Oh, but remember Parker? Wow does that feel ages ago. Perhaps it was because his time coincided with Jenna and Adam’s rocky road to love, but he never felt like an overly frustrating character in this mix. His behavior wasn’t that shocking, nor was his departure. Same goes for Byron, the first time an engineer has been a main cast member. We didn’t really learn more about what his job entails, we heard some witty one-liners from him, and he seemed cool enough. But that’s it.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 1 was just fine — even though that’s not a great thing in the world of reality TV. We watched it because the majority of this season aired while we were all stuck inside and it wasn’t as infuriating as the male privilege displayed at the end of the last season of Below Deck . It’s great that this franchise can air all year long, with Below Deck Med picking up in the same timeslot starting next week. But it’s got to find the humor of Below Deck Med or the competence of Below Deck and, ahem, sail with it. Jenna wasn’t a Kate or a Hannah, which would’ve been okay if those weren’t two very beloved skorts to fill. The romance wasn’t charming, the drama wasn’t salacious, the guests all seemed to be fine for the most part. That sounds nice and all, but nobody wants a boring vacation.

Hopefully there is a Season 2 because there’s a lot of potential here. If they can get the boat back up and running, and really, the cameras, it would be wise to lean likable in the casting for this show. We turn to Below Deck for an escape. The high-pressure of fulfilling guest needs while holding on as the boat tips to the side, and in extremely tight quarters, will produce enough drama. When we want fights, we watch Housewives , but Below Deck shouldn’t be frustrating, let alone infuriating. It should be fun. It’s just too bad no one seemed to have any this season.

About below deck sailing yacht.

Capt. Glenn and his comeback team Daisy Kelliher, Gary King and Colin MacRae resume their responsibilities aboard Parsifal III, along with new, dynamic crew members, as they set sail in Sardinia, Italy.  

Capt. Glenn realizes that his laid-back leadership style has allowed his crew to become too comfortable and starts taking charge of quality control in the interior department, much to Daisy's dismay. In the galley, Chef Ilesha's cooking impresses the guests, but her indecisiveness and co-dependency lead to time-management issues between courses, which causes her to self-destruct. On deck, strong personalities collide, and a power struggle results in a near mutiny, as Gary clashes with his new overconfident deckhand, Chase. 

Two overlapping love triangles further complicate the dynamics on-board, and a shocking hookup puts Colin, Daisy and Gary’s friendship in jeopardy. 

With a near collision, fire, crew rebellion, gruesome guest injury and two different potentially season-ending engine failures, this is the most captivating and unpredictable season yet of Below Deck Sailing Yacht. 

Screen Rant

Below deck sailing yacht's future is in limbo again (is it actually coming back or did gary king ruin the show for good).

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 has been one of the most long-awaited in franchise history, but the show may not return despite previous reports due to Gary King’s poor behavior . The Below Deck franchise has several shows that follow yachties in their lives working aboard luxurious vessels as they take Captain’s orders and serve charter guests. There’s always a layer of drama beneath the surface. From crew to crew, different dynamics become prevalent and create all sorts of issues, from romantic problems to interpersonal squabbles. Below Deck Sailing Yacht has become one of the most interesting Below Deck shows.

Although Below Deck Sailing Yacht has several seasons under its belt, the show has been struggling since its last season. With its last season, Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 , having come out well over a year ago, many have been wondering where the next season of the series is. Unfortunately, the Parsifal III’s Gary has made some questionable choices in the past. With serious allegations of sexual misconduct coming out after the last season of the series, could be the reason the show is delayed or canceled. After some false hope, could Below Deck Sailing Yacht be gone forever ?

Below Deck Sailing Yacht’s Logo Was Featured In A Bravo Promo

The show was considered dead.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 was considered dead by many fans of the franchise, but there was a bit of hope. When the logo of the series was featured on Bravo, it seemed the already-filmed fifth season could be surfacing soon . In a promo revealing what shows would be coming to the network this fall, Below Deck Sailing Yacht ’s logo was prominently featured alongside shows previously confirmed to be coming back by the network. Although there was no formal confirmation from the network about the show, many took the promo as a clear indicator it would be returning.

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

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.

While Below Deck Sailing Yacht is one of the more popular series in the franchise, things have been particularly difficult to discuss after Bravo chose to mostly ignore Gary’s sexual misconduct allegations. Many believed that they would just quietly cancel the series rather than address the issues , releasing themselves from the responsibility of dealing with Gary’s behavior . With the promo featuring the Below Deck Sailing Yacht logo, many were shocked to see that the series would likely be returning even after facing such an enormous scandal.

Some Have Noticed The Logo Has Been Removed

It may have been added in error.

While the logo for Below Deck Sailing Yacht was originally in the promo about what was coming to Bravo this fall, some viewers who have seen the promo run since noticed that it’s been removed. Now, a version of the promo without a Below Deck Sailing Yacht logo entirely has been airing on the network, confusing viewers. Many are wondering if the original promo was a mistake, and Below Deck Sailing Yacht isn’t returning at all , while others are assuming it could just mean there’s another delay with the next season of the series.

Could Below Deck Sailing Yacht Be Over?

Gary’s actions changed the trajectory of the series.

Some BDSY viewers are convinced that the series will still be returning at an indeterminate time, but others are certain that Gary’s actions changed the trajectory of the series and it’s now come to an end . While Gary has vehemently denied the allegations against him, some Below Deck Sailing Yacht viewers have shared that they believe the victim and could see Gary committing some terrible acts. While it’s possible the promo did indicate the return of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , it seems more likely that Gary’s behavior has pushed the show off course, causing it to drift out to sea.

When the first season of Below Deck aired in 2013, it was an instant hit. With a good-looking crew that got on each other's nerves, dramatic charter guests, and a captain that wasn't to be messed around with , all aboard a multimillion-dollar yacht in the Caribbean, it made for great television. So, it only made sense that the show expanded to other parts of the world, giving viewers a look at yachting in the Mediterranean.

Season 1 of Below Deck Mediterranean aired in 2016, and it was the first season that did not feature Captain Sandy Yawn at the helm. The season featured memorable stews and deckhands aboard the Ionian Princess which sailed around Greece, (viewers wouldn't see the crew in Greece again until Season 9), but it feels like it's been so long since the first-ever season aired. So, what is the OG Below Deck Med cast doing today?

Below Deck Med's Aesha Scott Reveals Which Yacht Guests She Can't Stand

Below Deck's Aesha Scott is known for her friendly personality, but even this chief stew has a tough time loving these types of charter guests.

9 Bobby Giancola

Job title: deckhand.

The firefighter turned deckhand was probably best known for pursuing second stewardess Julia d'Albert Pusey, but failing miserably at it. He got into a few scuffles with his crewmates, including Danny Zureikat and the women on the yacht. Bobby returned to Season 2 of Below Deck Med , which was the first season viewers saw a woman captain—Captain Sandy Yawn.

Bobby is no longer working as a crew member on super yachts, but he is still in the yachting industry as he's now a licensed yacht broker. According to his Instagram, Bobby is doing extremely well for himself , regularly posting images of the million-dollar yachts he sells.

8 Jen Riservato

Jen Riservato was the lone woman among the male deckhands in Season 1, but constantly butted heads with the lead deckhand, Bryan Kattenburg. Jen also stuck up for her girls when Bobby got into an intense confrontation with them for wanting to bring a woman aboard the yacht.

Jen hasn't made another return to other Below Deck Med seasons, but as Nicki Swift reported, when she spoke to South Florida Gay News , Jen revealed she wouldn't be opposed to coming back.

"I'd definitely consider another season, but for now I'm taking a little break. It's pretty exciting. Living with people on a yacht is like living with people in a trailer, it's stressful."

Nicki Swift also reported that Jen is now happily married to Angel City FC soccer player Paige Nielsen.

7 Danny Zureikat

Season 1's deckhand Danny Zureikat clashed with just about everyone on the Ionian Princess , including Captain Mark Howard. Danny was all about the ladies who would charter the yacht and less about his job. Viewers might even remember when Danny wanted to pass along a poem to one of the guests, which was totally crossing the line. It wasn't surprising when Danny was eventually fired mid-season for being lackluster at his job.

Danny was not seen in any other Below Deck season. Looking at his Instagram, Danny is now focusing on an acting career and is a content creator.

6 Tiffany Copeland

Job title: 3rd stewardess.

Tiffany Copeland worked as the third stewardess in Season 1, but she didn't meet chief stew Hannah Ferrier's standards. During one episode, Hannah confronts a drunk Tiffany about how bad of a job she's doing and even tries to convince her that she should quit yachting.

According to Men's Health , Tiffany continued to work aboard ships and appears to also be a captain . On Instagram, Tiffany has shared photos of her marriage to a man named Evan Jones and the couple are raising a daughter.

5 Julia d'Albert Pusey

Job title: 2nd stewardess.

Julia d'Albert Pusey was a good 2nd stew, but she had a few meltdowns aboard the Ionian Princess, including clashing with Chef Ben Robinson over croissants. Despite having a boyfriend back home in England, Julia was extremely flirtatious with Bobby, but the two would never hook up.

According to her Instagram, Julia left the world of yachting behind and is a content creator with over 100,000 followers. She also married the same boyfriend she left when she joined Season 1 and the couple are parents to a son named Xavier.

Why Below Deck’s Captain Sandy Yawn Said She ‘Should Have Been Dead 10 Times’

Below Deck's Captain Sandy Yawn stated that her life has been so dangerous that it is a miracle she is still alive.

4 Hannah Ferrier

Job title: chief stewardess.

Hannah Ferrier has become a household name to Below Deck fans. She has been a part of the Below Deck Med series as a chief stew for 5 seasons, that is, until Captain Sandy fired her after she was found to have drugs aboard The Wellington towards the end of the Season 5 charter.

According to People , Hannah married Josh Roberts in her native Australia, and they are parents to a daughter named Ava Grace. Hannah returned to reality TV when she appeared in The Traitors Australia in 2022 and has her own podcast called, Dear Reality, You're effed! in which she talks about popular reality shows on Bravo.

3 Bryan Kattenburg

Job title: bosun/first officer.

Not too many people liked first officer Bryan Kattenburg , especially when they watched him boss around deckhand Jen. He was aggressive when it came to his job and had spats with Hannah, Julia, and Danny. Fans have not seen Bryan on any other Below Deck seasons, and are probably happy about it.

According to Bryan's Instagram profile, he is a yacht broker just like his former deckhand Bobby, and appears to have also made his way up in yachting, as his profile states that he is a captain.

2 Ben Robinson

Job title: chef.

Chef Ben Robinson was already a familiar face on the franchise, having been part of the first-ever season of Below Deck in 2013 and returning for Season 2-4. After being the chef on Below Deck Med Season 1, he returned mid-season for Season 4 after a disastrous chef failure with chef Mila Kolomeitseva.

Ben wouldn't return to any other franchise spinoff, but he did return to chat about the other Below Deck season's on Bravo's Galley Talk . Today, Ben is running his own catering company where he travels all over the world showcasing his cooking skills.

1 Captain Mark Howard

Job title: captain.

Viewers never got to see Captain Mark Howard again after Season 1 of Below Deck Med . He wasn't a bad captain and was always just and fair to his crew. However, as a Screen Rant article revealed, Captain Mark wasn't a big fan of reality television which made him quit the show . From Season 2-9, fans have watched Captain Sandy at the helm of these mega yachts. Captain Mark became somewhat of a mystery when he left the reality show. Sadly, he died in 2021 from cardiovascular disease with chronic alcoholism, per People .

Below Deck Mediterranean

Below Deck Mediterranean is a Bravo reality television series that follows a crew that works aboard a gigantic superyacht during the busy season. The show highlights the challenges of the crew as they serve their high-end clientele. Each season tackles new locations, such as Greece, Croatia, Italy, and France, with some repeating.

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

Did the drama continue?

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

Originally from Montreal, Capt. Glenn is returning for his third season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, and with over 21 years in the industry, he definitely knows what he’s doing. Following his time filming the third season, Glenn Shephard took advantage of a few months off and traveled quite a bit. The 61-year-old found himself in Ghent and Bruges, Belgium, all while venturing through Paris, France. Although he remains single for the time being, Captain Glenn poked some fun at rumors claiming he was dating former crew member, Sydney Zaruba, however, the Below Deck star made things clear the two are simply “great friends.” Glenn later returned to Miami, Florida just in time for the season debut.

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 Sailing Yacht 's Love Triangle Comes to a Dramatic End in Tear-Filled Reunion Preview

Where do below deck sailing yacht 's daisy kelliher, gary king & colin macrae stand after their complicated season four love triangle see what brings the chief stew to tears in reunion teaser..

The Below Deck Sailing Yacht reunion will be anything but smooth sailing.

In E! News' exclusive sneak peek at the Bravo series' season four reunion on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen , the messy love triangle between Daisy Kelliher , Gary King and Colin MacRae comes to a dramatic head as the trio of boat mates try to make sense of their feelings for each other.

After Daisy declares she's "disgusted" in the teaser, Gary sheds more light on the boatmance he had with Stew Mads Herrera while also pursuing Daisy. "It was strange," he says of Mads, "because he would come and climb into my bed every night and try to have sex with me."

And while Daisy and Gary have a complicated history of flirting  that started long before her romance with Colin this season, it appears that Colin has officially moved on from her following filming.

"This is why the relationship turned toxic," he declares in the preview. "You can't reason with this woman."

Colin's harsh statement causes Daisy to start sobbing and walk off camera, shocking the rest of the cast and host Andy Cohen .

Unfortunately, fans will have to wait until the two-part reunion to find out if Daisy is still romantically involved with either Gary or Colin today.

Daisy and Colin first took their relationship from business to pleasure on BDSY 's May 29 episode when they shared a passionate kiss.

The chief stew and chief engineer's budding romance only caused problems for her ongoing flirtationship with Gary, with the situation causing the deck lead to reveal  during the June 12 episode that he and Daisy had sex twice after last season, further complicating the love triangle.

As for where everyone stands heading into the July 10 season finale? Well, Gary and Daisy shared a kiss on the June 26 episode with him even trying to woo her away from Colin.

"When you're with me, it feels like time slows down," Gary told Daisy. "How amazing is that? I think that's one of the most romantic things I might have ever said to you."

As for Colin's reaction to learning about his boat mates' PDA? "What the f--k?" he said in a confessional. "Gary is a desperate man. His ego feels attacked if he doesn't have female attention. And now that I'm in the thick of it, it's a bit of a sh--ty situation to be in."

The Below Deck Sailing Yacht season finale airs Monday, July 10, starting at 8 p.m. on Bravo. The reunion kicks off Monday, July 17, at 9:08 p.m. followed by part two on Tuesday, July 18, at 8 p.m.

(E! and Bravo are both part of the NBCUniversal family)

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.
