Captain Glenn, Daisy Kelliher & Gary King Are Going To Ibiza For ‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’ Season 5

Where to Stream:

• Below Deck Sailing Yacht

‘Below Deck Med’s Chef Johnathan Shillingford Thinks Aesha Scott Handled Those Rude Charter Guests “Very Well”

‘below deck’s 8 worst guests of all-time: from jill zarin to delores the midnight swimmer, ‘below deck mediterranean’ exclusive clip: aesha scott stands up for herself against a rude charter guest.

At long last, Below Deck Sailing Yacht returns for its fifth season on October 7. Captain Glenn Shephard , chief stew Daisy Kelliher , and first mate Gary King are leading the Parsifal III into unchartered waters this season: Ibiza. While fans will miss OG cast member Colin MacRae—whose romance with Kelliher ended very, very badly—there is a new crew of yachties to obsess over this season. Chief engineer Davide Morosi, chef Cloyce Martin, deckhands Keith Allen and Emma Crouch, and stews Diana Cruz and Danni Warren will no doubt be stirring up trouble as they work hard during charters and party hard on their nights off.

The trailer begins on a sad note. Now single, Kelliher returns to the Parsifal III. “Going into this season, I got rid of some dead weight,” Kellier says via voiceover as footage of MacRae and Kelliher canoodling flashes on the screen. “The breakup did a number on me last year, but now, I’m coming back more focused, full of energy.” As she sits triumphantly in her confessional seat, Kelliher says firmly to camera: “I’m fucking good at my job, and I’m taking back the reins.” On cue, the very next scene is Kelliher yelling at King while he lies in his bunk. “I’m not fucking carrying this season on my own, you fucking prick!” The more things change, the more they stay the same.

The trailer then continues to show off its new setting: Ibiza. “Ibiza is known as being the party capital of the world,” says Captain Glenn via voiceover. As guests are shown enjoying themselves, the yacht heels, causing random objects to shatter. Later, the crew gathers for their first meeting. “This is the last time we’ll all be friends so enjoy it,” Kelliher tells the team. “We”ll either fuck each other or fight each other.” “Or both,” replies Captain Glenn cheekily.

A montage of chaos ensues as Kelliher spills a drink, guests boink their heads, and Martin sets off a fire alarm while trying to achieve a fancy, flaming presentation. Morosi is even shown fully nude trying drunkenly to climb into the bed above Captain Glenn’s in their shared cabin. “You all right?” asks Captain Glenn warily. “Nearly,” says Morosi shakily.

While several hookups between the crew are shown—including Kelliher and Martin—and people are shown doing their jobs poorly, the most dramatic part of the trailer involves Captain Glenn’s reading the crew the riot act after giving them permission to party with some guests during a charter. “I set some ground rules, two drinks maximum,” says Captain Glenn as he scolds the crew. “You knew the rules, you broke the fucking rules, and now you’re here getting upset.” Stunned, the group can only look on.

As the trailer ends on a dramatic scene when another yacht is about to crash into the Parsifal III. Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans are left to wonder: could this be the most dramatic season yet? Tune in to Bravo on Monday, October 7 at 9/8c to find out!

The Below Deck universe is one of the popular franchises on Bravo. Fans have been clamoring for the trailer for Below Deck Sailing Yacht following the major breakdown of Daisy Kelliher and Gary King ‘s short-lived romance last season. Now, it’s finally here, and the trailer teases everything viewers want — drama, romance, and breaking the rules with the guests.

As fans of Below Deck Sailing Yacht know, each season of the show takes place in a different location. Now in its fifth season, the show is set in Ibiza. Season four of the show was set in Italy. This new season comes after Gary was accused of sexual assault. 

The new season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht seems like a good time based on the trailer, which comes exclusively from E! News . As it begins, Daisy can be heard saying, “Going into this season, I got rid of some dead weight. The breakup did a number on me last year. I felt very broken. But now, I’m coming back in more focused, full of energy and I’m f–king good at my job. And I’m taking back the reigns.”

Of course, she is referencing her breakup with Gary. She then counters the previous statement by saying, “It’s gonna be a s–t show.”

The trailer then teases a bit of work-related drama as she says to Gary, “Guess what? We have a f–king job to do, and I’m not f–king carrying this season on my own, you f–king prick!”

Naturally, the season isn’t only about the failed romance between Daisy and Gary. The trailer also shows the crew getting a bit too friendly with the guests. Captain Glenn Shephard , who is clearly upset, can be seen reprimanding the crew after having too many drinks with the guests. 

He says, “You guys went out with some guests, I set some ground rules. Two drinks maximum. You knew the rules, you broke the f–king rules, and now you’re here getting upset.”

This season also welcomes some new faces. There’s Chef Cloyce Martin , Chief Engineer Davide Morosi , Stew Diana Cruz , Stew Danni Warren , and Emma Crouch as the deckhand. 

Fans can watch the premiere of season five of Below Deck Sailing Yacht on October 7. 

Below Deck Sailing Yacht: Season Five Cast and Premiere Date Announced by Bravo

Below Deck Sailing Yacht has its return date set. Season five of the reality series will return next month, and Bravo has announced the cast, which will join Capt. Glenn Shephard, Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher, and First Mate Gary King on board the Parsifal III this season.

Chef Cloyce Martin, Chief Engineer Davide Morosi, stews Diana Cruz and Danni Warren, and deckhands Keith Allen and Emma Crouch will join the cast for season five of the series, and they will bring some drama with them.

Bravo revealed the following about what is to come in season five:

“Capt. Glenn and his expert crew set sail on Parsifal III to the luxury party capital of the world, Ibiza. While Ibiza is known for its sunny day parties and crystal-clear coast, it’s stormy waters ahead for the crew as they navigate blossoming boatmances, competitive co-workers and tense personal dynamics, all while trying to raise the bar every charter. After a distracting love triangle last season that took her focus away from work, Daisy is ready to take the reins back in the interior department with a new sense of energy and determination. However, plans for a stress-free charter season are threatened when her stews question her leadership. On deck, Gary attempts to keep his team motivated as one crew member struggles to learn the ropes. In the galley, Chef Cloyce charms the crew and guests but at only 22, he may be too inexperienced to meet the demands of the high-maintenance charter guests.”

Below Deck Sailing Yacht returns on October 7th . The trailer for season five is below.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 Trailer Revealed: ‘Cheers To Being Dramatic’

Batten down the hatches. The trailer for Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 just arrived. It’s messy, and as expected, we will soon see the faces of Daisy Kelliher and Gary King back onboard. When these two yachties last saw each other, they were at odds, and as Season 5 teases, not much has changed.

The Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 Trailer looks promising, in all the messy, dramatic ways

“Going into this season, I got rid of some dead weight ,” Daisy explains at the start of the trailer. “The breakup did a number on me last year. I felt very broken. But now, I’m coming back in more focused, full of energy, and I f*cking good at my job. And I’m taking back the reigns,” she quips, like a boss bish.

“It’s gonna be a sh*t show,” Daisy continues, as the cameras expertly cut to her yelling at Gary, the literal definition of her words. “Guess what? We have a f*cking job to do, and I’m not f*cking carrying this season on my own, you f*cking prick!”

Luckily for Daisy, a new beau is onboard to help distract her from last season’s love triangle mess . Deckhand Keith Allen catches her eyes, and it seems her affections are shared, as Keith asks Gary, “Daisy would make a good wife. No?”

Gary laughs. But Captain Glenn Shephard is not laughing, as several beats later, his crew entertains their charter guests a bit too hard on land.

“You guys went out with some guests. I set some ground rules. Two drinks maximum. You knew the rules, you broke the f*cking rules, and now you’re here, getting upset,” a frustrated Captain Glenn tells his team, as Daisy later states that she is “f*cking done.”

There’s also blood , broken dishes, a fire, and lots more. But sadly, there is no Colin MacRae .

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 premieres on Monday, October 7 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.

Everything That’s Leaked About Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5

By Amy DeVore

The Below Deck franchise on Bravo has launched many successful spin-offs since it’s inception in 2013. One of these spin-offs is Below Deck Sailing Yacht , which has just finished airing Season 4 . In this series, Captain Glenn Shephard faithfully leads his crew each season onboard the Parsifal III sailing yacht. Since Season 2, Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher , First Officer Gary King , and Chief Engineer Colin MacRae have joined Captain Glenn for filming.

These three yachties have now become the faces of Below Deck Sailing Yacht. Their tightly-knit friendship and playful banter have always made for great television. However, Season 4 was rough on this faithful trio. During the Season 4 reunion, it became clear that some of these friendships were fractured beyond repair.

Here’s a quick recap to help break this down: Daisy and Gary’s long-standing flirtation came to a head. This was due to Gary’s “casual” leaking of his and Daisy’s physical encounter(s) in between Seasons 3 and 4. This news came as a shock to Colin, as he and Daisy were entering into a boatmance when this revelation struck.

During the reunion, a since broken-up Daisy and Colin threw stones at each other, each blaming a lack of trust as the cause. The two are no longer close. Gary is still friends with both of his coworkers, however.

Currently, Below Deck fans have their eyes open wide for signs of Season 5’s filming. Images of a crew alongside the Parsifal III have been taken (and shared). Other fans have undergone deep dives on social media to unearth possible new cast members. With that in mind, here is everything that’s been leaked about Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5.

The Filming Location

Spotted in Ibiza by u/Take_Me_To_Ibiza in belowdeck

Last month, a fan caught sight of the Parsifal III docked in Ibiza. Images of this infamous vessel were immediately shared over on the Below Deck subreddit . A film crew can even be seen onboard capturing footage. Shortly after this was shared, another fan on a cruise in Ibiza spotted the Parsifal III with a group of charter guests off of the coast of an Ibizan village.

With these two sightings in mind, the Balearic Islands are likely Season 5’s location.

Only Two Returning Cast Members Have Been Spotted

Spotted filming in Ibiza! by u/Successful-Will-95 in belowdeck

While we can safely assume that Captain Glenn will return for Season 5, the other cast members have held a large question mark post Season 4’s drama. That said, several days after the Parsifal III’s spotting, fans caught sight of a new cast eating dinner in an Ibizan town, Dalt Vila. Within the image, Gary and Daisy are clearly seen. Colin is noticeably absent.

If there are any Colin stans reading this, hopeful that Colin is just resting onboard and not at this dinner, I have bad news. Online, Colin is sharing videos on his YouTube Channel, Parlay Revival . These videos show that Colin is currently sailing across the Pacific Ocean on his Catamaran. As the Balearic Islands are connected to the Atlantic Ocean, Colin’s return for Season 5 is unlikely.

Regarding the other Season 4 cast mates, the images making the rounds do not feature any of their faces. However, Deckhand Alex Propson actually announced during the reunion that he will be appearing on another hit Bravo show. Alex is joining the cast of Winter House Season 3.

Based on the leaked images, it appears that Daisy and Gary will be the only returning faces from Season 4. The fans detectives within the same subreddit, however, have unearthed two of the possible new crew’s identities, alleging that one of the blondes appears to be Danni Warren . Side note, Danni’s Instagram recently followed Gary.

NO, Danni, RUN.

Danni also follows Chef Cloyce Martin , whose recent joins are people currently located in Ibiza. If Chef Cloyce is indeed appearing in Season 5, he will have big shoes to fill from the Season 4 Chef, Ileisha Dell . To note, while these 2 new crew members are not verified, their likeness does resemble those within the leaked image.

A Housewife Will Charter The Parsifal III

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tiffany Moon, MD (@tiffanymoonmd)

Real Housewives of Dallas star Tiffany Moon has posted images of herself onboard the Parsifal III in Ibiza in recent weeks. In her many shared posts of gourmet food, beachy tablescapes, and stunning sunsets, fans are weighing in to ask if she was indeed there for filming. While Tiffany is not responding to these specific inquiries, her timeline of posting coincides with that of the current filming schedule taking place. Therefore, it stands to reason that Tiffany will likely make an appearance in Season 5.

Season 5’s Premiere Date – An Educated Guess

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

Fans of this series will likely be waiting awhile for Captain Glenn’s latest adventures to broadcast. If keeping to its typical schedule, Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 will begin to air sometime around February – April of 2024.

That’s a long time to wait for answers, but wait we will.

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.

No one wants this drunk on TV! @BravoTV let him continuously get drunk and sexually harass women! He even tried to get one of the girls on Project Runway drunk so he could take advantage of her! He’s a predator & he does not belong on TV reaping all the benefits & getting paid to drink free booze and sexual attack women! He’s a menace!

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

Below deck sailing yacht season 5 trailer leaves fans disappointed with gary king’s involvement, what happened to devin strader after the bachelorette season 21.

• Gary King likely to appear in Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 despite troubling allegations.
• Allegations of sexual misconduct against Gary surfaced between seasons, but he continued filming.
• Season 5's release has been delayed, possibly due to editing Gary's presence in the show.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 is likely going to feature First Officer Gary King , despite the troubling allegations lodged against him during the show’s off-season. Throughout Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 , many were concerned about the increasingly troubling behavior of Gary, who’s been part of the show since season 2. While he’s always been somewhat of a playboy, Gary’s behavior with women got increasingly difficult to watch as he continued further along in his journey with the franchise. Confident in himself, Gary was open about what he was interested in, sometimes getting overly physical with women on deck.

While Gary’s behavior hasn’t always been over the top, there were some serious sexual misconduct allegations lodged against the Below Deck Sailing Yacht star after the last season of the series. Even though Gary was known to be somewhat concerning with women , Bravo continued with another season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht . In between the last season ending and the next season filming, allegations were made against Gary by a makeup artist that was hired by the series, and the account of her interactions with the First Officer gave viewers pause about seeing him on another season of the show.

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.

Gary Has Always Had A Bad Reputation

Throughout his time on Below Deck Sailing Yacht , Gary has been one of the more difficult yachties to pin down. While he's been fun in some instances, the majority of Gary's time on the show has been spent showing off his womanizer tendencies. Whether it's flirting with the women aboard the sailing yacht as charter guests, being somewhat too touchy with his fellow crew, or bragging about things he's done outside of the scope of the superyacht, Gary's always been known for his scandalous relationships with women . As he's moved through the series, his behavior has become increasingly uncomfortable.

Though viewers were willing to accept Gary as a part of the crew early on in the series, as the show evolved, he became more of a problem for the people around him which in turn became more disturbing to watch. During Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 , Gary's behavior towards Mads Herrera was troubling for some viewers. Even before the allegations of sexual misconduct, Gary was a struggle for some viewers to get behind , and after the accusations became public, many called for his removal from the series.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 Filmed Despite Allegations

While the allegations against Gary were serious, Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 had already begun filming when they became public. Though Gary's behavior throughout the series could've been enough of a red flag to remove him from the crew, he was kept on as First Officer on Parsifal III, which means his appearance in the next season of the series is inevitable. While many Below Deck viewers have taken issue with Gary's behavior in the past , it wasn't taken seriously in the years that the show has been on, but with serious allegations afoot, very little can be done.

Gary's appearance on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 was confirmed early on in the filming process by the First Officer himself, who shared on Instagram that the show was filming another season. While Bravo distanced themselves from Gary after the allegations came out, they only seemed to care to do so after audiences called for Gary's removal from a BravoCon lineup, as well as the show itself. Though the network has taken action, some still feel like it's too little, too late considering Gary was a part of the already filmed Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 .

Gary Is Likely Too Baked Into The Season To Be Edited Out

Many have been curious as to what's taking so long for Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 to be released, as the show has been finished filming for nearly a year. While there has been enough time and space for the editing team to put together a normal season of Below Deck , there's likely a much bigger challenge when it comes to Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5. Knowing that Gary's featured in the season , many have speculated that the editors have been hopeful they'd be able to remove Gary from the show as much as possible to save face.

While Gary has been heavily featured in every other season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , he'll likely be edited out of Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 as much as he can be. Even with the power of editing, though, Gary has been a major part of the series and was likely one of the major story points of the season. It doesn't seem likely to me that he'll be able to get removed from the show in most facets without the season being entirely re-filmed. Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 will be fascinating when it finally comes out.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht

Not available

Below Deck Sailing Yacht is a spin-off of the Below Deck reality television series. Premiering on Bravo, the show follows the life of a Yacht crew as they attempt to navigate a busy Charter season in which many customers make use of a 177-foot sailing yacht. Over the first three seasons, the yacht has been to Greece, Croatia, and Spain.

'Below Deck: Sailing Yacht' Season 5 Finally Gets Premiere Date Following Sexual Misconduct Claims

Below Deck: Sailing Yacht is set to premiere its fifth season on Monday, October 7, Bravo has announced. This comes one year after Rolling Stone published a report of sexual misconduct claims against cast member Gary King.

First mate King, who was accused of assault by makeup artist Samantha Suarez during filming, was reportedly not permitted to attend BravoCon with his co-stars, leading some fans to wonder whether the entire season might be scrapped. The Bravo press release, however, indicated that he would have a major storyline in season 5, which takes place in Ibiza. "Capt. Glenn Shephard returns to Parsifal III with returning department heads Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher and First Mate Gary King," the statement reads. "On deck, Gary attempts to keep his team motivated as one crew member struggles to learn the ropes."

Suarez detailed her alleged traumatic experience with King in an email to Rolling Stone , which claimed she was bringing snacks and water to King's room, at which point he "comes up behind me, puts his arms around me, holds me against his body, physically restraining me from leaving, and says stuff like no don't go. I get out of his grip, tell him again that I have to leave, that I am not staying, and I go reach for the door knob and he comes over and puts both his hands on the door, with his whole weight, to push it shut." She continued, "This whole time he's laughing. I ask him to please let me out of the room, that I have to go. I then get a phone call from [the show's talent manager]. He sees and hears that I answer and he finally moves away from the door, allowing me to open it."

Rolling Stone published a statement at the time from Below Deck production company 51 Minds that read, "51 Minds is committed to providing an environment in which every member of the casts and crews on our productions feel respected and, most importantly, safe. 51 Minds provides mandatory harassment and sensitivity training for every series it produces at the outset of each new season and lays out a clear process on how and to whom to report any questionable activity. [...] With regard to the incident reported by Ms. Suarez involving Mr. King, the case was investigated and reviewed as soon as it was submitted, and production acted accordingly based on the results."

King spoke out about the allegations in the comments section of Instagram in September of 2023, responding to a fan who asked if there was an investigation into the allegations. King vehemently denied the allegations, saying of Suarez: "her and her boyfriend(now ex I hear) weren't invited back to any BD due to the problems they cause[d], so she wanted revenge and to try make some money out of it."

Bravo posted a trailer for season five on X (formerly known as Twitter ) on Monday, September 15. Some fans were excited, writing "All this chaos in less than 3 minutes" and "It's always a pleasure to set sail with Captain Glenn, even if his crew is mentally unstable!" Others however, had reservations about King's return to the show. "why in the hell is Gary back???" asked an X user. "Disgusting perv Gary is back," said another. One user defended the network's inclusion of King in season five, writing, "This happened before the allegations. Can you all just calm the [expletive] down?"
