Get to Know the Season 2 Cast of Below Deck Sailing Yacht

The ship's about to hit the fan.

Get ready to set sail—after a polarizing first season , Below Deck: Sailing Yacht is coming back yet again for Season 2 on Monday, March 1. And while Sailing's favorite captain Glenn Shephard is returning to the Mediterranean with his trusty boat Parsifal III, this time, he's bringing with him a whole new crew.

This season, we'll be introduced to several yachtie amateurs and experienced professionals alike, including one stew who comes from a family of yachties and a chef who worked in the kitchens of Michelin-starred restaurants. But before the wild season premieres, let's get to know the charter crew of Parsifal III, ready to make a splash on a television screen near you.

"Below Deck: Sailing Yacht" is back for a second season starting March 1st at 9PM ET.

Daisy Kelliher

Position: Chief Stew

Instagram: @daisykelliher87

As chief stew, Irish born and bred Daisy is no stranger to the world of yachting—she comes from a family full of them. While she does have a legacy to uphold upon the Parsifal III, as we'll soon learn, she's no stranger to letting loose from time to time.

Daniele "Dani" Soares

Position: Second Stew

Instagram: @iamdanisoares

As Parsifal III's second stew, Dani has more than than eight years' of experience on yachts. Yes, she's great at her job, but she also admits having a sensitive side to her, which can sometimes get in the way of getting the job done.

Position: Third Stew

Instagram: @allidoreporfavor

A relative newbie to yachting, Dore is hoping to gain more experience on the Parsifal III. Safe to say we can already predict some discord amongst the interior crew, based on their varying experience levels.

Natasha De Bourg

Position: Chef

Instagram: @living_vicariously_through_me

Parsifal III's new chef Natasha comes to the yacht with years of European culinary experience at Michelin-star establishments. She has sharp skills, which are only matched by her sharp tongue.

Colin Macrae

Position: Chief Engineer

Instagram: @parlayrevival

As this season's chief engineer, Colin has eight years of yachting experience under his belt. He also has a popular YouTube channel following his sea adventures.

Position: First Mate

Instagram: @king_gk

As this season's first mate, Gary comes aboard the Parsifall III with over a decade of experience on both small boats and super yachts. As of June 2019, it appears he was in a relationship...which may or may not change when he's onboard the Parsifal.

Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux

Position: Deckhand

Instagram : @jeanluc_cerza_lanaux

Although he's technically the youngest crew member about Parsifal III at 25, it doesn't mean Jean-Luc isn't familiar with yachts. A former football player, the 6'8" deckhand has some experience working hard to achieve his goals.

Sydney Zaruba

Instagram: @sydney_zaruba

As the lone female deckhand this season, Sydney isn't afraid to jump in to help. Previously, Sydney worked for her family's boat business.

Captain Glenn Shephard

Position: Captain

Instagram: @bigsailboats

Back for his sophomore season on the beloved boat franchise, Captain Glenn is still the calm and laid-back leader we all loved last year. But his crew members better watch out—despite his chill exterior, he's not afraid to give a piece of his mind when needed.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2 details: Premiere date, cast and first-look trailer

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Seaton 2 details, including premiere date, new cast members, and a first-look trailer, have finally been revealed by Bravo.

Fans have wondered if the network would bring back the third spin-off in the Below Deck franchise for another season. Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 1 got off to a slow start. It took viewers awhile to get into the show, despite Below Deck Med alum Adam Glick appearing as the chef.

The good news for fans is that the wait’s almost over. Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2 premieres on Monday, March 1 at 9/8c. The new season kicks off with a supersized episode too.

Who are the Season 2 crew members?

Captain Glenn Shephard returns at the Parsifal III helm, and he is the only Season 1 crewmember to return.

Yep, the Below Deck Sailing Yacht crew got an overhaul. There’s not a single familiar face besides Glenn.

The newbies include chef Natasha De Bourg, chief stew Daisy Kelliher, second stew Dani Soares and third stew Alli Dore making up the interior crew. Chief engineer Colin Macrae, first mate Gary King, deckhand Sydney Zaruba, and deckhand Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux are the deck crew.

What can fans expect from Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2?

The first-look trailer makes it pretty clear fans are in for a whole new Below Deck Sailing Yacht. This crew has no problem speaking their minds and do it often.

They are also down for a good party, which gets out of control more than once based on the footage. The drinks are flowing on the new season, giving off a completely different vibe than the current season of Below Deck.

Fans can expect a lot of drama from this new crew. Thanks to first mate Gary, a love triangle explodes on Parsifal III. Stew Alli and deckhand Sydney come to blows a few times in the trailer over Gary.

Chef Natasha and chief stew Daisy struggle to work together, creating a tense environment. These two are far from being on the same page, let alone being friends.

It’s an entirely different dynamic than fans watching Adam and former chief stew MacGillivray making out in the galley all last season.

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Below Deck (@belowdeckbravo)

Every yachtie’s worst nightmare comes true on Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2. A massive error results in Captain Glenn crashing the sailing yacht into the dock, doing some significant damage.

It certainly looks like Bravo did a 180 with Below Deck Sailing Yacht making it more like Season 7 of Below Deck or Season 5 of Below Deck Mediterranean.

One big difference will be the new safety protocols in place due to the coronavirus pandemic. The new rules will bring lots of drama that fans enjoy.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2 premieres Monday, March 1 at 9/8c on Bravo.

Would not have wanted to spend time with ANY of the original crew!

Meet The Season 2 Cast Of Below Deck Sailing Yacht

Prepare for messy romances and a lot of tension.

Season 2 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht features almost an entirely new cast . The only person fans will recognize is Captain Glenn Shephard, the leader fo the Parsifal III yacht who also captained the ship in Season 1. But with so many new crew members comes the potential for a ton of new drama.

Already, the Bravo website is teasing that the chief stew will butt heads with the chef, complicated romances will emerge, and tensions will be high due to pandemic protocols that required the crew to stay on board at all times. Captain Glenn is usually able to stay pretty cool in tough situations, he has his limits . If his staff isn't living up to his expectations, things could get rough. But as the captain teased to E! News, he tried his best to let the cast relax while also pushing them to stay on task. "Working on a yacht in a busy charter season is a bit of a pressure cooker," he said. "So, when there are not guests around, I will let them blow off a little steam — but I want to keep my eye on it, so it doesn't get out of hand." Of course, the trailer hints that things did exactly that .

Before all the drama unfolds, get to know the yacht's new cast.

Captain Glenn Shephard

Instagram: @bigsailboats

According to his Bravo bio, Captain Glenn got his start in the sailing industry as a deckhand and worked his way up to captain over the course of two decades. His full-time job for the last 11 years has been as captain of the Parsifal III, the yacht featured in the show.

Natasha De Bourg

Instagram: @living_vicariously_through_me

The Season 2 chef is Natasha De Bourg, who was trained in Europe and worked as an executive chef in France at L'Ardoise prior to diving into the yachting world. She's been working as a yacht chef for three years now. And when she's not cooking, she's making all her Instagram followers jealous with her glamorous travel photos .

Daisy Kelliher

Instagram: @daisykelliher87

Sailing is in Daisy's blood: her grandfather Eddie Kelliher was one of Ireland's Olympic sailors in 1964. She joins the Bravo cast as the yacht's Chief Stew, but she's been in yachting for years. Her Instagram shows that she's almost always on a boat, including during the 2018 St. Barths Bucket Regatta race.

Colin Macrae

Instagram: @parlayrevival

Prior to joining Below Deck Sailing Yacht , Colin spent eight years as a yacht engineer on various other vessels. These days, he's also a YouTuber and vlogs about his various sailing adventures for his nearly 100,000 subscribers.

Instagram: @king_gk

This First Mate has 12 years of experience in yachting, but he's not all business and no play. His Bravo bio says he's "never the type to leave a party first" and a flirtationship on the show could quickly lead to drama for him and the rest of the crew.

Dani Soares

Instagram: @iamdanisoares

Dani is the Second Stew aboard the yacht, and she has eight years of experience in the field . Those eight years have helped her visit 69 countries , according to her Instagram. Now, Below Deck Sailing Yacht will further her travels.

Instagram: @allidoreporfavor

Third Stew Alli is from Australia and previously had experience working as a divemaster. She has a secondary Instagram for her diving, including some pretty amazing up-close photos of sharks . Now she's stepping into interior yacht work, so it'll be interesting to see how the change of pace goes for her.

Sydney Zaruba

Instagram: @sydney_zaruba

New deckhand Sydney knows her way around a sailboat. Her Bravo bio says that her parents lived on one when she was born and now they run their own boating business, which Sydney helps with . Sydney is also a travel agent , per her IG bio, and a blogger for her site The Boho Traveller .

Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux

Instagram: @jeanluc_cerza_lanaux

The other deckhand is Jean-Luc, the youngest member of the crew . Before he joined the sailing world, he played college football for the Charlotte 49ers in North Carolina. But he's spent a lot of his life around water and on boats , fishing with his dad , so he's not starting in the sailing world with no sea knowledge at all.

Get to know the whole crew when Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2 premieres on March 1.

‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’ Season 2 Reunion Revelations: Dani’s Pregnancy, Gary’s Love Triangle and More

Just the beginning! The Below Deck Sailing Yacht cast virtually came together to break down everything that happened during the show’s second season — and nothing was off-limits.

During part one of the reunion on Monday, June 21, Glenn Shephard , Colin Macrae , Gary King , Natasha De Bourg , Daisy Kelliher , Dani Soares , Alli Dore and Sydney Zaruba returned to reflect on their highs and lows.

Deckhand Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux , who had some big questions to answer about his relationship with Dani since the season wrapped , was noticeably absent. However, host Andy Cohen confirmed that Jean-Luc did a separate interview for the reunion where he addressed the speculation that he’s the father of Dani’s baby .

“If that is my child, I want everything and anything to do with that child’s life,” Jean-Luc said in a preview for part two of the reunion, set to air on June 22.

Prior to the reunion, Jean-Luc took to social media to finally respond to fan’s theories about his relationship with Dani, who welcomed her first child in May.

“There’s a lot of gossip about my social media silence so I think it’s time to clear the air. While others are off chasing their 15 minutes of fame, I am working on a yacht in Central America,” he wrote via Instagram on Friday, June 18. “[I’m] heartbroken to have to hear about the baby’s birth on social media and read headlines, like, ‘Dani Soares Says Her Baby’s Father Doesn’t Want Anything to Do With It.’ All I can say is if it’s mine, I want to be involved 100 [percent].”

Jean-Luc continued: “As someone who grew up with parents who weren’t together, I wouldn’t wish that on any child. Not looking for a pity party. Just want everyone to know how strongly I feel about this, especially the haters who are so sure I am neglecting my responsibility. No one wants to know more than me if this is my baby girl!”

Many members of the Below Deck universe quickly responded to the post and called out Jean-Luc for not doing the right thing, including costar Sydney, who asked, “What is wrong with you?!”

“Don’t play the innocent victim here JL. Man the fuk [sic] up,” Colin added in the comments.

Season 2 chef Natasha added: “I’m sorry JL but sounds like a pity party to me. Why didn’t you reach out 9 months ago ??? No woman deserves to be treated the way you treated Danny [sic]”

While Jean-Luc didn’t appear on part one of the reunion, he was still a large topic of conversation between the crew.

“I think we blame everything on J.L. He’s not here, it makes sense, right? Anything that went wrong this season,” Glenn joked as the rest of the cast members laughed.

The Crew's Thoughts on Jean-Luc's Work Ethic

The Below Deck stars didn't hold back when they spoke about the deckhand’s absent approach to his job, with chief stew Daisy referring to Jean-Luc as "absolutely moronic" while explaining why she refused to let Dani take the blame for Jean-Luc not completing his duties during their night shifts.

Colin also opened up about his relationship with Jean-Luc throughout the season, some of which fans didn't get to see. 

"I didn't specifically get on with J.L. from the start, we didn't click. But I felt like he kind of didn't want to take instructions from Gary or myself sometimes," the chief engineer said. "That was just his attitude towards work." 

Captain Glenn, who applauded Sydney for her hard work in comparison, added: "He just didn't get the urgency of what is going on."

Gary's Treatment of the Women

In response to a fan question about him "being a twat to basically all the women on the boat," Gary admitted that he did feel badly about his behavior . Shortly after, all the women except Natasha raised their hand when they were asked if they felt like the bosun didn't always treat them well.

Daisy specifically called out Gary earlier in the reunion episode for the way he spoke about her when she wasn't around. "You clearly also hated me and thought that I was a giant bitch," she revealed.

Gary, for his part, clarified: "I may have said you were acting bitchy, I never said you're a bitch.”

Dani and Her Castmates Address Her Baby's Paternity

After Dani shared that Jean-Luc did not want to be involved in her pregnancy, her costars had plenty to say about the deckhand's reaction.

"She's working so hard. She's doing 12-hour days. She's trying to get herself prepared as best as she can. And it is incredibly disgusting and frustrating that [Jean-Luc] won't even acknowledge the situation," Alli responded. "My heart breaks for Dani but she is so strong. I know that she can do this without him and will be better off."

Meanwhile, Gary claimed that Jean-Luc "does not have a spine."

"For the little respect that I had for him, that's gone out the window," he added.

Gary Had a Girlfriend

Alli dropped the bombshell that Gary had a girlfriend when he joined the boat during part two of the Below Deck reunion.

"We were in a very complicated relationship. I hadn't seen her for eight months prior to me coming on the show. Not seeing someone for eight months and growing apart in those months ... do we put a label on that? No," Gary explained after the big reveal.

For Alli, this was a major reason why she felt like it wasn't fair for Sydney to be so mad about their situation with Gary.  

"I did everything I could to be respectful in a situation but at the end of the day, when you sleep with someone when they are in a relationship, I feel like that voids you being able to treat me the way you treated me," Alli told Sydney.

Another Below Deck Baby

The former stew, who confirmed the news on social media before part one of the reunion aired , revealed that she was expecting a baby.

"Dani and I are pregnant at the same time. It's so cool!" Alli gushed about her exciting news.

Gary admitted that he didn't know his ex was pregnant, but said that he was happy for her.

"She told me when I spoke to her that her boyfriend treats her well and treats her like a princess, and at the end of the day as long as Alli is happy then I am happy," he added.

The Crossing Timeline

After Cohen asked about the crossing, Alli and Gary explained that they were an official couple during that period of time, but that it was never meant to last.

"It was inevitable that she was always leaving to Australia, so I think in the back of our minds we knew that we could never seriously work because of that," Gary clarified. "Regardless of the great chemistry and the ability to make each other laugh endlessly, and also finish each other's sentences."

Jean-Luc is the Father of Dani's Baby

"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 finally confirmed. "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."

Dani opened up about the negativity that she saw online from people like Jean-Luc's mother and how she struggled with that.

"Obviously, I say during the whole season that I want to be a mom and have a family, but I wanted a family. That was my plan. That was my vision. I would not choose to move to a new country where I don't know anybody and choose to have a child with a 24-year-old boy that I barely knew," she emotionally revealed. "I did not plan that. I am just going with this now and I am sure my little baby girl is going to be amazing."

The Bachelorette's Jenn Tran Reveals Shocking Two-Word Message For Villain Devin Strader After Controversial Finale

The bachelorette: i knew devin strader was the villain all along (he's worse than sam mckinney), welcome to plathville: signs micah's girlfriend veronica peters' a clout chaser (is she using him for fame).

Dani Soares is one of the most memorable crew members to appear on the  Below Deck   franchise, so it's no surprise that fans are looking to catch up on what she's been doing since  Below Deck Sailing Yacht   season 2. Joining Captain Glenn Shepard on the charter yacht Parsifal III as a second stew, Dani's memories of living in Brazil helped her forge connections with co-stars like Sydney Zaruba and Alli Dore. Dealing with the loss of a close friend months before joining the yacht crew, Dani's open and honest attitude established her positive reputation with viewers.

While Dani's backstory is interesting enough, her short-lived romance with Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux was the breakout storyline of  BDSY  season 2. Dani and Jean-Luc quickly became interested in one another while working on the sailing yacht and were frequently seen spending time together. Although Dani wasted no time bringing up the potential of marriage and babies, 26-year-old Jean-Luc's clear hesitancy (and, at one point, potential STD) towards settling down created some awkward situations. Nonetheless, Dani and Jean-Luc ended  BDSY  season 2, confessing their love for each other and leaving Parsifal III as a couple.

Related:  Below Deck: Dani Soares Hints Jean-Luc Still Isn’t Stepping Up As Father

After BDSY  season 2 ended, it was revealed that Dani was expecting a baby girl . While the father wasn't named at the start, all eyes pointed towards Jean-Luc. Dani gave birth to Lilly Rose in May 2021, and after going back-and-forth with his former  BDSY  co-stars on Instagram, Jean-Luc confirmed that Lilly was his daughter this past January. Besides becoming a mother, Dani, who has sported a new short-haired look since November, has settled down in Sydney, Australia. In addition to raising Lily, Dani has been working as a beauty therapist while studying to become a nurse, previously telling  Bravo Insider , "I just want to do something that I can be like, I'm actually helping, I'm actually changing people's lives, you know?"

Although Dani isn't planning to return to yachting anytime soon, the 34-year-old still has a foot in the  Below Deck  franchise. After  BDSY  season 2 wrapped last summer, Dani , Alli, and chief stew Daisy Kelliher started an Instagram Live series called  Pita Party . The three stews   upload weekly episodes that focus on the currently-airing BDSY  season 3, as well as individual and collective experiences as women in their 30s. Dani, Alli, and Daisy are frequently joined by  Below Deck  special guests like Ashley Marti, Colin MacRae, and Tom Pearson. Since establishing  Pity Party , Dani, Alli, and Daisy have expanded the show to a podcast that can be found on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Between working, studying, and caring for Lily, it's clear that Dani has a lot on her plate, especially since she's hinted that Jean-Luc isn't as involved with their daughter as he should be. Nevertheless, fans of  BDSY  are happy to see that Dani is not only still invested in the charter yacht world but continues to have the support of Alli, Daisy, and other  Below Deck  stars. Dani has undergone one of the biggest transformations since appearing on  BDSY  season 2, emotionally and physically, yet it's clear that she is focused on carving a wide path of opportunities for her and Lilly.

'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 3: 5 Things you need to know about Bravo reality show

Glenn Shephard

Captain Glenn, a Montreal native, has always been driven by a desire to see the world. He was offered to serve as a deckhand aboard a 50-foot classic sailboat early in his journeys and was immediately captivated, never looking back. Glenn has welcomed hundreds of high-end guests during many hectic charter seasons during his 21 years in the industry, spanning 12 years as Captain on Parsifal III. While being a Bravo celebrity might be overwhelming, Glenn has stayed humble about his newfound status. While sipping drinks on the Spanish shore, the celebrity now gives Zoom sessions with fans of the program, where he spills on behind-the-scenes insights.

Colin MacRae

Colin MacRae, a seasoned sailor, spent 13 years as a Chief Engineer aboard superyachts before joining Parsifal III for his Season 2. On January 23, the head engineer shared the first official photo of himself and his girlfriend, Silvia Latini, on Instagram, announcing their significant relationship. "Everyone meet [Silvia]. She’s my girlfriend. Been almost a year now but we chose to keep it private. But we announced it on YouTube today," Colin wrote. In the comments of the Instagram post, Colin and Silvia received a lot of love from the Below Deck Sailing Yacht clan, including Captain Glenn Shephard, Sydney Zaruba, and Dani Soares, all of whom conveyed their fondest wishes for the couple.

Gary's 12 years of experience shows in the way he manages his deck crew, having commanded smaller boats and run the deck on several busy yachts. Gary is also famous for hooking up with his crewmates and has a party animal in him that pops out when the occasion is perfect. Gary was shown making out with Daisy Kelliher in the most recent teaser, which stunned many fans. Gary King first boarded the yacht Parsifal III in March 2021, while it was cruising in Croatia. Fans were unclear if he will return in Season 3 after the conclusion of Season 2. He surprised his followers, though, by uploading a photo on Instagram of himself formally joining the third season.

Natasha de Bourg

Chef Natasha is a Trinidadian who studied culinary arts in Europe before working at Michelin-starred restaurants. This season's chef, Marcos Spaziani, will be taking over the kitchen from Natasha De Bourg, and he'll be serving up some fire!

Daisy Kelliher

Chief stew is back. Daisy Kelliher is considered a legend in the sailing world. Daisy has a lot to live up to when she returns to Parsifal III following a successful previous season, and she can always be counted on to say what she thinks. Daisy Kelliher of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, who is known for her optimistic attitude, recently shared on social media that she has suffered from severe separation anxiety. Daisy is back for another season of the Bravo spinoff, and after a rocky first season at sea, she is attempting to be more transparent. Daisy startled fans when she stated that she had always suffered from acute separation anxiety. Her profession as a yachtie has just added to her sense of loss. The stew posted a photo of her sad face with a detailed explanation underneath it. Daisy pointed out that, while it may appear like being joyful is simple on social media, it isn't always the reality. She wanted to remind her followers that mental health difficulties affect many individuals, including herself.

Dani Soares

In the show, she is famous for her boat romance with Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux. Dani Soares' fame has increased dramatically since joining 'Below Deck Selling Yacht,' as has the controversy in her personal life. Last year, the actress revealed her pregnancy to her followers. She claimed to have conceived while production for 'Below Deck' was underway, causing outrage and leading viewers to assume Jean-Luc was the father. After a year of conjecture and guesses, as well as a rocky relationship with Dani Soares, deckhand Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux has finally revealed the long-awaited news. Linux has officially revealed that he is the father of Lily-Rose, Dani Soares' daughter, and is now learning to co-parent with his co-star.

Sydney Zaruba

'Below Deck Sailing Yacht', Bravo's yacht drama, is back for its third season, with new and returning cast members. However, Sydney Zaruba, who appeared in the previous two seasons, has announced that she would not be returning for the third season. Sydney Zaruba is the owner of Explorateur Travel, LLC, a travel firm. Through custom itineraries, the travel adviser wishes to link her customers with the rest of the globe. She has also managed to keep connected to her sea life through her podcast platform, Nautical Nonsense Pod. The water baby discusses the sea and wild waves of history, the ocean, and the folklore that surrounds it in her podcast.

Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux

Following the Season 2 reunion of 'Below Deck: Sailing Yacht', there was a lot of misinformation about the baby that  Dani Soares was about to give birth to. Soares wasn't perplexed; she knew her co-star Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux was the father, but he refused to have anything to do with the kid, she said. He said, on the other hand, that all he wanted was a paternity test to be sure. Lanaux has confirmed that he is the father of Dani Soares' baby Lily-Rose, and is now learning to co-parent with his co-star.

Below Deck has shared the beauty and splendor of working on a luxury yacht. At times, it's the perfect life, but it's not always the easiest job. Especially working on deck. Some individuals excel. Others have crashed and burned. Lying on your resume is not going to get you far in the yachting industry. Below Deck had some wild deckhands who just couldn’t do the job. Sometimes, even putting the boat at risk. These are the deckies who are considered the worst of the worst.

With five series within the Below Deck franchise, Below Deck has been one of Bravo's biggest properties since 2013. Showcasing the fun balanced with work life on board the world's most incredible yachts, Below Deck has kept viewers glued to their screens season after season.

10 Danny Zureikat

'below deck mediterranean' season 1.

Some individuals go above and beyond their job description. And that is fine. When it's warranted. For Below Deck Mediterranean 's Danny Zureikat , it was just too much. Everyone on the crew knew Danny was a good kid, he just wasn't meant to work on a megayacht.

Danny was the kind of person who wanted everybody to like him, even an attractive charter guest who miraculously and suddenly fell in love with. When he got a little too close, posing in photos with her and writing her a love note, he was reprimanded. He was warned about boundaries, but he defied those orders from Captain Mark Howard . He had his phone taken away while on charter, and made enemies with his fellow deckhands and Chief Stew Hannah Ferrier . Danny was ultimately let go in quite a tearful goodbye. As much as he meant well, he simply was not cut out for this life.

Below Deck Mediterranean

Not available

9 James Hough

'below deck' season 8.

James Hough was the flirt of Below Deck Season 8. As one of the attractive men aboard My Seanna, he was able to catch the eye of second stew Elizabeth Frankini . The two engaged in a bit of a flirtmance that ultimately distracted her to the point that Captain Lee Rosbach allowed Chief Stew Francesca Rubi to fire her.

Elizabeth blamed almost everyone else, but she might have been right that had it not been for James, she might have lasted until the season ended. James wasn't the most beloved by his fellow deckhands, causing him to think about leaving the season early. James was fine at his job, he just became a problem for everybody else.

8 Dane Jackson

'below deck' season 3.

Dane Jackson used to hold the title of the shortest tenure of a deckhand, but that honor was recently taken from him. Dane was one of the more controversial deckhands on Below Deck . Dane seemed to forget that his job was to remain professional while off the ship, and no matter what, they were still employees and represented the yacht.

Despite being a replacement deckhand, his job security was still at risk. He was a disruption to the crew through his drunken antics in the crew mess. During a crew excursion on an island, Dane continued his drunken antics and became unsafe to be around. Boson Eddie Lucas had to step in to reprimand Dane, which led to Captain Rosbach firing him the next day. Dane was there for a good time, not a long time.

7 Shane Coopersmith

When you earn the nickname Sunshine, normally it wouldn't be a bad thing. For Shane Coopersmith , it was used derogatory due to his positive demeanor. Being outgoing and positive didn't translate to his work onboard My Seanna. The Below Deck deckhand had a nonchalant aura, often found relaxing while the other deckhands were working hard.

While Shane always thrived at implementing the criticism to do better, it just didn't pan out. After sleeping past his alarm, Sunshine was let go by Captain Rosbach and Boson Lucas. They felt it was better to find someone else to take his spot. Shane was a really great person, but he just didn't gel with the rest of the crew.

6 Rhylee Gerber

'below deck' seasons 6 and 7.

With a fiery persona, Rhylee Gerber tried her best to get along with the boys. Unfortunately, that didn't necessarily happen. Some Below Deck fans might consider Rhylee misunderstood, but if you ask her coworkers, she was just a nuisance. Having prior experience as a captain on a fishing boat in Alaska, she was willing to get herself dirty with boys, but the yachting industry unfortunately became much more challenging.

During Season 6, she clashed with the first Boson of the season, Chandler Brooks . She was constantly at odds with Ashton Pienaar . This proved problematic when she was asked back as a replacement deckhand in the middle of the season under the guidance of Boson Ashton Pienaar. Ashton warned his crew about Rhylee, which caused immediate tension and strife. Rhylee may have had a strong work ethic, but her temper always got the best of her.

5 Peter Hunziker

'below deck mediterranean' season 5.

As a deckhand, Peter Hunziker was fine. However, Peter was known for making inappropriate comments towards his female coworkers. Boson Malia White was forced to endure him calling her "sweetheart" constantly. He was told to stop, but he didn't comprehend why it was a problem.

He was uncomfortably flirting with Chief Stew Bugsy Drake . But for Peter Hunziker, his Below Deck Mediterranean experience was shortened not by action on board, but by a social media post during the season. While Season 5 was in the middle of airing, a racist and misogynistic post resurfaced that caused Bravo and the show's production company to immediately fire him. He was edited out of the show, though he could occasionally be seen in the background of some shots.

4 Tom Pearson

'below deck sailing yacht' season 3.

Tom Pearson was really sweet. He wanted to prove his work while on Below Deck Sailing Yacht . Unfortunately, one crucial mistake cost him his job . With a resume that was perfect for the position, Parsifal III was his first time working on a ship of this magnitude.

After partying a bit too hard, Tom didn't have the best first impression. He tried to redeem himself, but after allowing the anchor to drag during an overnight watch, Captain Glenn Shephard had no other choice but to fire him. Tom understood his error and understood why he was let go. Tom may be one of the few individuals on this list that might actually deserve a second chance.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht

3 trevor walker, 'below deck' season 4.

Trevor Walker was too big for his britches. The former Paul Mitchell hair model came to Below Deck with an ego and an attitude, putting off all of his coworkers. When he first arrived on the motoryacht Valour, he was hired as the senior deckhand and second engineer. By the end of episode two, Trevor was demoted.

His inability to connect with the rest of the crew made him quite problematic as a worker. The dynamic was turbulent. Following a night out that led to excessive drinking and horrible behavior, the demoted deckhand was let go by Captain Rosbach. With his dismissal, the energy onboard quickly changed for the better.

2 Kyle Dickard

'below deck adventure' season 1.

For whatever reason, Below Deck Adventure never took off compared to the other spin-offs. The series, which was located in the stunning locales of Norway, took the formula of the flagship series but with an entirely new crew. One of whom was hot-headed deckhand Kyle Dickard . Like many others before him, Kyle was focused more on the fun rather than the work .

Having spent much of his time trying to have a fling with stew Kasie Faddah in front of charter guests. During crew nights out, Kyle's disruptive and aggressive behavior irked everyone. With living quarters so tight, Kyle also happened to be a terrible cabinmate. Deckhand Nathan Morley attempted to address the problems, but Kyle threatened to physically attack him. This was the final straw for Captain Kerry Titheridge , who fired Kyle immediately.

Below Deck Adventure

1 andrew sturby, 'below deck' season 2.

Andrew Sturby set a president on Below Deck : don't lie on your resume! Not everyone heeded that advice, but Andrew was the first example of how dangerous being a deckhand can be if you don't know what you're doing. Andrew was a bit of a goofy guy. He wasn't always the most professional, but he seemed like a fun person to be around. That's all well and good, but when you're not performing up the standard of the boat, your integrity as an employee will be called into question.

For Andrew, his poor performance caused Captain Rosbach to have to take a peek at his resume. What was discovered was that his resume had been largely embellished. Captain Lee is a professional but also wants to help individuals learn and grow. He gave Andrew a second chance to redeem himself. He just failed, putting the boat at risk. And thus, he was given the infamous plane ticket home. It's one thing to come in green and learn, but for Andrew, it would essentially be having to learn it all in the big leagues. It became a liability. This was not the place to learn everything.

15 of the best boats to look out for at this year’s Boat Shows

• Toby Hodges
• September 5, 2024

As summer draws to a close we pick some of the most interesting boats set to be launched during this year's boat show season

The northern hemisphere summer is drawing to a close and for sailors this means that boat show season is upon us. With dozens of world premieres among the line-up at Cannes, Genoa and Southampton Boat Shows, here’s our pick of the most interesting new yachts on display in 2024.

Best boats in 2024’s Boat Shows

At Cannes Yachting Festival

In a departure from Ice’s long-standing relationship with Felci design, this stunning Italian offering, with crisp and minimalistic styling, is the result of a collaboration between Micheletti & Partners, who were responsible for interior and exterior styling, and Farr Yacht Design. Construction is of infused hybrid carbon sandwich for the hull and full carbon for the deck. Spars are also of carbon, with EC6 carbon standing rigging.

The deck layout, including a pair of electric winches ahead of each helm station, is designed to enable the boat to be handled by a single watch keeper.

Yet this is a beautifully spacious yacht with three or four cabin layouts that offer plenty of privacy, plus generous saloon and galley areas. Ice founder Marco Malgara is particularly excited about this one and you can expect a delicious helming experience.

Wauquiez 55

The first new launch from this renowned French yard for six years is a centre cockpit yacht aimed at the premium end of the market and packed with excellent ideas. Below decks the boat has a number of surprises, including the owner’s aft cabin with extensive windows onto the bathing platform and its own aft entrance. This creates a space with an entirely different feel to that of any other production yacht of a similar size.

The Lombard-designed hull shape aims to maximise stability, while the reverse sheer is an intrinsically stiff shape that improves performance and comfort by reducing weight in the ends of the boat. Options include three rigs, two keels, and two interior layouts.

Contest 63CS

This family owned Dutch yard has produced some of the very best semi-custom large cruising yachts, with sparkling sailing performance and a very high build quality. The latest model is a powerful and spacious centre cockpit sloop with sleek lines by naval architects Judel/Vrolijk, plus interior styling by superyacht stars Wetzels Brown Partners.

It’s intended as a boat that can be sailed by family and friends, but also has an option to accommodate crew if necessary. Sail handling systems are set up for simplicity and ease of handling, with a choice of in-boom or in-mast mainsail reefing and the option of a self-tacking inner jib. All lines are led aft and can be controlled from the pedestals immediately forward of the helm stations. Below decks a large number of variations are possible, including a four-cabin family layout, or three cabins plus crew quarters.

At Genoa Boat show

The latest in this range of sleek performance cruisers looks like the ideal way for the Aquileia yard to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

It’s another Javier Soto Acebal design with twin rudders and a hydrodynamically efficient hull shape, with a chine forward and lots of flare above the waterline aft. We featured it in more detail in our May issue noting that the key differences over the seven-year-old 55 are the longitudinal tender garage and ability to offer three heads with separate shower compartments.

Adi Design was responsible for the interior that has provision for an optional en suite crew cabin. Extensive glazing at the aft end of the coachroof helps to flood the aft cabins with natural light and improve ventilation in these areas.

Two performance Grand Soleils

At Cannes Yachting Festival At Genoa Boat show

The Grand Soleil 52 Performance is the latest collaboration between naval architect Matteo Polli and Nauta Design, who were responsible for exterior styling, interiors and layouts. The result is an elegant and stunning yacht with a high stability, high performance hull shape.

The yard says it’s ‘intended for competent, passionate and very demanding owners who do not want to compromise on performance and comfort’. As with other models in the range it’s available in both Performance and Race versions, with the former optimised for sporty, yet comfortable, cruising.

The Grand Soleil 65 Performance follows in the wake of the Long Cruise version – which was our cover model and for which we did a full review last month – based on the same hull, but with a streamlined deckhouse and sportier styling. The concept was curated and finessed by Italian racer Franco Corazza, who has a dozen national championship wins, plus European and world titles.

Performance targets match those of the earlier Grand Soleil 72, with the mast positioned well aft to maximise the size of the foretriangle and therefore also reaching and downwind sails. This helps to create a sail plan with a relatively low centre of effort that reduces heel angles.

The yard has made further steps toward sustainability, including the use where appropriate of linen fibres, bio resins and water-based paints.

Hanse 360 and 590

At Cannes Yachting Festival At Southampton Boat Show At Genoa Boat show

These two models fill out Hanse’s acclaimed new Berret-Racoupeau-designed range that launched with the Hanse 460 in 2021. All five models to date feature very spacious accommodation, combined with surprisingly quick and civilised sailing performance.

Like her larger stablemates the 360 offers accommodation volumes that are not normally associated with a yacht of this size, including a large forward owner’s cabin with a peninsula bed. In all 12 layout options are offered in two or three cabin formats with either one or two heads.

The deck layout is ergonomic under sail, yet the cockpit is also designed for outdoor living, with a large table, big fold-down platform aft and an optional barbecue for cooking outside.

The 590 is the yard’s new flagship and a replacement for the long running and successful 588, with a lot more volume, giving room for a very spacious owners cabin. Hanse says the optional hard top is the largest in its class and there’s a large 3.1m dinghy garage with electric launching system.

Lagoon 43 and 60

Lagoon celebrates 40 years in business this year, over which time it has built over 7,000 yachts. The Lagoon 43 is a replacement for one of the most important models in the range, the Lagoon 42, which has sold more than 1,000 units and is claimed to be the most popular cruising catamaran ever produced. No pressure then!

It’s a semi flybridge model with a forward cockpit and is available in three cabin/three heads and four cabin/four head layouts. All the cabins are larger than those of the earlier boat, with bigger beds, while the saloon and cockpit areas can be configured for dining for up to 12 people. Other new features include doors in the topsides aft to allow easy access to the cockpit from a pontoon.

The full flybridge Lagoon 60 offers palatial accommodation on a near superyacht scale. It’s available in four cabin/galley below and five cabin/galley up arrangements, plus optional crew cabins forward in each hull. As reported in April, the aft cockpit can be fully opened out onto the water, including hull sides that hinge down, creating an area even wider than the yacht’s 32ft beam allows.

It is offered with Lagoon’s innovative new furling boom system, a project the company has worked on for many years to help ease sail handling.

Rapido 53XS

This Morrelli & Melvin design is a long-awaited development of the Rapido 50 ultra-fast cruising trimaran. It retains the original shape below the waterline, while additional topsides flare and a much wider coachroof create significant additional accommodation in a three-cabin layout.

At the same time, the central daggerboard of the original design is replaced by C-foils in each ama. This improves visibility from the saloon, as well as contributing to more internal space.

Despite the extra accommodation volume and complexity, displacement is only 800kg more than the Rapido 50, so performance is not compromised. The owner of the first boat to be launched, for example, expects to complete Atlantic crossings in less than 10 days.

Xquisite Sixty Solar Sail

At Annapolis Boat Show

This X60, the first of three new and very modern catamaran models launching this year from Xquisite Yachts, splashed in Cape Town earlier this summer and is due to debut at the Annapolis Boat Show in October.

It features a phenomenal 44kW lithium ion battery bank, 6kW of solar panels and 10kW of inverters for extended periods of silent running, including the ability to power many domestic style luxuries. It’s designed to be managed solo from a single helm position and features a carbon boom with furling main and retractable bimini.

The power cat version is coming to Europe this autumn and CEO Tamas Hamor says it is fitted with the most advanced hybrid propulsion system currently available on the market, which makes it capable of reaching 24 knots or providing transoceanic range at 8 knots.

At Hiswa in Water Show

This will be the first year exhibiting at Cannes for the recently formed Dutch brand Vaan, which builds contemporary cruising catamarans from circular materials, including hulls from recylced aluminium. The new 49ft R5 model won’t quite be ready in time to get to the Med – however it will be at the HISWA show and we hope to seatrial it this autumn.

The second model of the smaller R4, which is finished in bare aluminium, will instead be presented in Cannes, before it heads over to America.

This very lightweight all carbon multihull was designed from the outset as a fast cruising catamaran for world cruising with a family. This approach freed designers VPLP from many of the considerations that are necessary for the dual purpose boats that are popular in this part of the market and combine cruising with competitive racing with a large crew on board. The result is a stunningly simple, but very spacious and comfortable, high-end yacht that can be sailed by a lone watch keeper, yet can hit speeds of 25 knots when cruising. The first example is already afloat and the second is currently in build. Guide price €7,000,000. bernardgallay.com

Seawind 1170 & 1370

We have featured both of these performance cruising catamarans in detail over the last couple of years in these pages and were hoping they’d be at Cannes last year, but have yet to see them in person. Hopefully this autumn will provide the chance as they are both due to be making their European debuts at Cannes. The Australian firm, which builds in Vietnam, now has a new site in Turkey. Both boats look like really smart, feature-rich designs that offer comparatively speedy passagemaking for their size and plenty of practical thinking. The 1170 starts at US$510,000 ex VAT. seawindcats.com

This French brand has always pushed the boundaries of both internal and external space available on cruising multihulls. As a result the concept, which was first unveiled only 10 years ago, has been much emulated by other brands. The new 5.8, a full flybridge, is the largest yet and a new flagship for the range, with tangibly more volume and deck area than the older Bali 5.4.

This translates to a palatial owners suite, along with even larger galley and saloon/cockpit areas. Layouts include a private crew cabin on owner’s versions, or six cabin/six head options on charter models.

Huge tankage, plus refrigeration of up to 634 litres, make long periods of autonomy possible, even with lots of people on board.

Sunbeam 29.1

This lightweight performance centreboarder was conceived as the ultimate weekender, with a powerful yet easily handled rig.

Key aims were to combine style and flexibility with comfort both above and below decks. The interior is therefore configured to be equally as suitable for the needs of several people on an extended day trip as for a relaxed weekend on board.

Swallow BayCruiser 21

At Southampton Boat Show At Boot Düsseldorf

Many owners of yachts based in sunny or tropical climes also hanker after a more simple vessel in which to get afloat in home waters. This Welsh-built compact trailer-sailer is intended to set new standards in versatility and ease of use. An all-up weight of only 600kg means it’s a easily towed with a medium size car, while carbon spars make for quick and easy rigging, even when single-handed.

Yet this is also a boat with a two-berth cabin and space for six people in the cockpit. Draught with the keel up is only 25cm, while 400kg of water ballast helps to increase stability when the breeze increases and makes the boat self-righting in a knockdown. A proper smart yacht!

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. 

Ritz-Carlton’s Ilma Sets Sail on Maiden Cruise

• September 5, 2024

The Ilma officially kicked off its maiden season for The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection earlier this week.

After being delivered by the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in mid-July , the 456-guest vessel received its first paying guests on Sep. 2, 2024.

On that day, the Ilma departed from Monaco for a seven-night cruise to France and Italy that is set to end in Rome.

The open-jaw itinerary features visits to Cannes, Saint Tropez, Livorno, Bastia and Porto Cervo, as well as Monte Carlo and Civitavecchia.

During its maiden season, the LNG-powered ship then offers a series of seven- to 12-night cruises to the Mediterranean, the Adriatic, and the Aegean.

Extending through late October, the program also features departures from Piraeus, Barcelona and Civitavecchia.

In November, the Ilma arrives in the Caribbean for a winter cruise season that features sailings from San Juan, Fort Lauderdale, and Bridgetown.

For its first cruise in the region, the ship offers a six-night itinerary departing from Puerto Rico that includes ports of call in St. Lucia, Guadeloupe, Antigua and the British Virgin Islands.

Before receiving its first guests earlier this week, the Ilma operated training voyages across the Mediterranean .

With over 350 crew members onboard, the 37,000-ton vessel underwent a series of preparations during the period while visiting ports in France, Portugal, Malta and more.

Debuting a new design, the Ilma became the largest ship in the fleet for The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, which also includes the 298-guest Evrima.

Currently under construction for the brand at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique Shipyard, the Luminara is also set to join the company’s fleet.

A sister to the Ilma, the vessel is scheduled to enter service in July 2025 ahead of an inaugural season in Europe.

The Luminara then marks Ritz-Carlton’s debut in Asia , offering ten new itineraries in the region between December 2025 and May 2026.

Bodycam video shows lobster diver pulled to dock after being hit by boat in Florida Keys

The victim, identified as 20-year-old sean bender, was lobstering near the boca chica bridge with another man, steven bender, when he was hit by a 19-foot 1988 stratos, according to an incident report by sgt. j moeller, by briana trujillo • published july 25, 2024 • updated on july 26, 2024 at 6:27 am.

Bodycam video shows the moments a man was pulled onto the dock after being hit by a propeller in the waters of the Lower Keys, according to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office. 

The victim, identified as 20-year-old Sean Bender, was lobstering near the Boca Chica Bridge with another man, Steven Bender, when he was hit by a 19-foot 1988 Stratos, according to an incident report by Sgt. J Moeller.

📺 24/7 South Florida news stream: Watch NBC6 free wherever you are

The operator of that vessel said he was running under the bridge when he saw a person surface directly in front of his boat.

After he struck Bender, the operator stopped and brought both divers on board before driving to Key Haven Boat Ramp, where emergency response crews took Bender and flew him to a Miami hospital at around 8:09 a.m., according to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.

Diver hit by propeller, 2 boats capsize during start of lobster mini-season in South Florida

Brick of ‘bunny' cocaine found floating in Florida Keys by lobster diver

Bender suffered lacerations to his head, neck, right arm and shoulder, the incident report details. He was breathing and “barely responsive.”

From interviews, Moeller gathered that “Steven and Sean had taken the inflatable dinghy from [their vessel, the Grady White,] to an area under the Boca Chica Bridge and were lobstering.”

The operator of the Stratos said he saw a dinghy “approximately two pilings over from where he struck the snorkeler,” and that it did not have a dive flag. 

But a witness on another boat reportedly told a different deputy that there was a dive flag displayed. 

When Moeller went to investigate and take pictures of the scene, the dinghy had been moved back to the Grady White by witnesses on that third boat.

The operator of the vessel does not currently face any charges in the crash.

The first day of lobster mini-season also saw at least two boats capsize and one catch fire in Miami-Dade County .
