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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What happens on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3? 

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

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

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

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 cast 

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

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

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

New episodes of Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 air live on Mondays in the US. With a subscription, episodes can also be streamed live via Fubo TV , Hulu with Live TV , Sling TV and YouTube TV .

Who's leaving Below Deck Sailing Yacht?

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

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

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4, Episode 15 Recap: Rainbows And Unicorns

At the end of the last episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , First Mate Gary King was butthurt that Madison “Mads” Herrera seemed to care more about deckhand Alex Propson than she did about him. “I’m f*cking over this,” he declared.

But Chief Engineer Colin MacRae definitely wasn’t over it. “I think it’s healthy for Gary to be taken down a peg now and then,” he commented. “There’s the old saying, the truth hurts.”

Meanwhile, in the galley, Chef Ileisha Dell was on course five of a 10-course meal. “This is gonna be such a late night,” she complained. “Doing 10 courses on Parsifal is brutal. There’s no space. It’s insane to prep. It takes forever to serve, and it means a late night for everyone.” I feel you, Ileisha. Recapping back-to-back episodes of Below Deck Sailing Yacht is no picnic either, believe me.

Course number five consisted of Local Baby Pink Peppercorn Squid with Lime Aioli. “It’s a cephalopod!” primary guest Bryan squealed with delight.

Number six was Sea Bream with Celeriac Puree and Fennel Slaw. The guests were moaning with pleasure.

The seventh course was a Rosemary Crusted Beef Carpaccio with Parmesan and Microgreens, which Bryan declared, “Hugely brilliant.”

Served at 11:45 pm, course eight was a Surf and Turf Beef Filet with Grilled Prawns.

The ninth course was a Lemon Sorbet Palette Cleanser. “One more to go!” Ileisha said gratefully.

The final course, number 10, was a Limoncello Ricotta Cheesecake with Raspberry Compote. “Oh, my God!” Cheffie told Captain Glenn Shephard . “Dessert’s out! That was the longest service.”

“You know what we should do to celebrate?” deckhand Chase Lemacks asked Ileisha. “Make out!” Ileisha, who has a boyfriend, just laughed. Sounding a little desperate there, Chase.

And to all a good night

Dinner service was done, and the crew drifted off to their beds. The guests also headed off to their cabins with tummies full of Ileisha’s delicious food. Mads wasn’t sorry to see them go, as it meant she could also finish her work and go to bed at a decent hour.

Gary was still angry at Mads and wasn’t talking to her, or even looking at her, for that matter. “All the sh*t that’s been said has just got me thinking,” he told Colin.

The next morning, Gary came up behind Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher and wrapped his arms around her neck. “What time [did you get] up?” he asked her.

“Late,” she told him. “ Lucy [Edmunds] let me sleep in.”

“I don’t want to affect mine and Gary’s relationship,” Daisy interviewed, “by trying to put a boundary between us. But I also don’t want to upset Colin by being inappropriate. I’ve never been in this situation before, so I don’t really know how to handle it.” Boundaries are a healthy thing, Daisy. They keep people from being inappropriate.

Daisy asked the deck crew if they would wear the pink Speedos she ordered during water sports with the guests. The boys weren’t pleased, but it’s part of the job.

“I’m f*cking freaking out,” Chase told Gary, as they were changing into the tiny swimwear. “You can see the wrinkles of my ballsack.”

“Are you trimming?” Gary asked Chase.

“No, I’m not f*cking trimming!” Chase answered. “Trying to put this d*ck in these f*cking budgie smugglers.”

“Brü, your d*ck is definitely not that big,” Gary clapped back.

“All right, Chase, we’re doing this,” Chase pep-talked himself, as he came out of the bathroom.

Boys in budgie smugglers

No, I don’t have a picture (sorry!), but the Speedos were actually not that bad — from the back anyway. I think production was afraid to film from the front.

The boys all had fun terrorizing the interior crew with their obscene swimwear. “Anybody need help doing dishes?” Chase taunted Daisy and Lucy, as they shrieked with disgust.

Even Glenn wasn’t immune to the horror. “What the hell?!” he exclaimed, as he came down the stairs. “Oh, my God!”

“Come give me a hug, Glenn!” Gary said, tugging on his arm.

“No, get the hell away from me!” he said, adding, “Is that a cocktail wienie or are you just happy to see me?” LOL!

“Look, I’m not exactly the kind of guy to rock some nut huggers back home,” said Chase. “But if the guests want a banana hammock, I know I look damn good in them, and f*ck, I’ll do anything to make the guests happy.”

“Just go straight to the swim platform,” Gary instructed Chase, as they walked out on deck. “Don’t say anything!”

“Hello, guys!” Gary said as they passed the guests at breakfast, who immediately did a double-take.

“Well done, gentlemen,” the guests responded. “Thank you both. Good job, God.”

“It’s our crew uniform for the day,” Gary announced, as they proceeded to the swim platform.

Another day, another sail

Once the guests had finished with the water toys, it was time for another sail. “All crew, all crew,” Captain Glenn called over the radio. “FYI. We’re gonna be sailing. Let’s be stowed well. There’s quite a bit of breeze around.”

After stowing the NautiBuoys, Gary and Alex had a chat. “A couple days left, big boy,” Alex said. “How do you feel about it?”

When Gary answered that it had been a good season, Alex responded, “Made some money. You found love.”

“Far from it,” Gary told him.

“You guys are done?” Alex asked.

“I don’t think we were ever a couple, to be quite honest with you,” Gary admitted. “I think I wanted it more than she did. No, I want a chick that’s there for me, brü. Not just when she’s drunk.”

“I see how dysfunctional this Mads and Gary thing is,” Alex interviewed. “I don’t know why it’s continued this long. It’s really f*cking weird … I think Mads deserves better than Gary. [And] I am better than Gary.” If you could cut back on the booze you might be, Alex. The blacked-out drunk look is not all that attractive.

Bryan and his partner arrived on the deck to watch the sails go up. They were both wearing shirts adorned with unicorns simultaneously vomiting and farting rainbows. “He’s a little seasick,” Bryan explained to Chase. “It’s coming out of both ends, the poor thing.”

“This is a nice relaxing sail,” Glenn said, as things were flying off the shelves in the galley.

Preparing for the Pride party

For night two, the primary requested “a Pride dinner with seven courses, each course to represent a color of the rainbow.” The rainbow flags I’ve seen only have six colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple (just like the song my son learned in preschool). As if to reinforce the idea of only six colors, the Pride flag flying on the boat only had six colors, as did the flags I found when I Googled “Pride rainbow flag.” Still, the poem has the color pink included.

Again, Gary caught Daisy alone in the galley and threw an arm around her neck, trapping her against the cupboards. That’s kind of aggressive, Gary. I’m not a fan of the arm around the neck. Neither is Daisy. “Just get in a good mood, you,” he told her. I’m also not a fan of men telling women what their mood should be.

“I get a hug,” he added. “Hug it out.” And of course, he took advantage of the opportunity to try to steal a few kisses. Gary’s behavior is beginning to cross the line, and it’s uncomfortable to watch.

“Stop!” she told him. “Ugh, why would you do that?”

“Because it got you in a good mood. Look at you. Now you’re smiling and laughing.”

“So inappropriate,” she told him, not realizing that Colin was listening to every word from the control room just around the corner. Thank goodness the chief engineer is more level-headed than the first mate.

“Gary is a desperate man,” he commented. “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*t situation to be in.”

A rainbow flag dinner

Speaking of inappropriate behavior, Chase walked into the galley in his pink cowboy hat and greeted Ileisha. “Howdy, miss,” he said. “Wanna save a horse and ride a cowboy?” He just never stops. Fortunately, the chef didn’t see him as a threat, but I find him really annoying.

Mads and Lucy were decorating the sundeck for the Pride party later that evening. And guess what? The Pride flag they were hanging actually had seven colors. A turquoise stripe was inserted between the blue and the purple. I hope Ileisha has some turquoise food planned.

Staying with the rainbow theme, Daisy planned to have each server dress in a color from the flag to match the food. She also asked Gary if he’d do a fan dance.

When the guests came to the table, the whole decked was strewn with rainbow decor, and the guests themselves looked fabulous in their rainbow-themed outfits.

During dinner, Daisy went to visit Colin in the control room. She noticed he was out of sorts. “Are you mad at me?” she asked him. “Or is this about Gary?”

“If you ever told him that you have feelings for me,” he answered, “that would maybe make him back off a little bit.”

“He can clearly see that we’re hooking up,” Daisy said.

“But he’s an idiot,” Colin said. He’s not wrong.

Gary gets a taste of his own medicine

After the dinner was cleared away, the entire crew, including Glenn, paraded up to the sundeck in Pride regalia. “The boys have prepared a fan dance,” Daisy announced.

Gary and Chase really put their hearts into it, and it was hilarious. “If I had dollar bills, I’d make it rain,” shouted one of the guests.

As the guests walked down the stairs toward their cabins, they were laughing about feathers being everywhere. “Did you have a great night?” Lucy asked them.

“We had a terrible time, obviously,” they answered sarcastically. “It was the worst.”

In the boys’ cabin, Colin asked Gary if he was going to hook up with Mads tomorrow night. But then he (accidentally on purpose) dropped the bomb that Mads had shared a “three-way kiss” in the van with Lucy and Alex the other night on the way to dinner. “Do you think she likes Alex?” Colin asked, feigning innocence.

“No way! Did she hook up with Alex in the van?” Gary erupted. “Why didn’t she tell me that? What the f*ck is going on, dude?”

“Oh, it’s too good,” Colin interviewed. “I think Gary needs a taste of his own medicine here because he gets away with everything. So maybe this is karma. This is how it feels.” And he had a good chuckle about it.

Last day of the charter

“How was your night?” Chase asked Alex the next morning.

“Good. This was my magnum opus,” Alex answered. “There were feathers and glitter all over everything.” Alex was on the night shift, so he’d been cleaning all night, while everyone else was sleeping.

Too soon it was time to say goodbye to the guests. These have been lovely guests, and so much fun, even though their preference sheet had seemed to indicate they could be high maintenance. I hope they were happy with their Pride dinner and their party. They really seemed to enjoy it.

“You guys are each family now,” said a guest, as he handed every crew member a tiny Pride flag.

“Absolutely amazing and wonderful,” added Bryan. “I mean, I expected, of course, to have an amazing time, but I didn’t really expect to be embraced by the Parsifal III crew.”

Getting emotional, he added, “I was able to expand our Pride family with you joining us in our celebration. That is a priceless gift that you have given us.”

“Well, we’re happy to be a part of it,” Glenn told him.

“I want to leave this gift for you,” Bryan finished, handing the tip envelope to Glenn. And off they went.

A tip meeting bombshell

Later that afternoon, Glenn called everyone to the salon for the tip meeting. “That charter was a blast,” Glenn told them, as they sat down. “I’m proud of you guys. I’m proud of everybody … I was proud to watch you guys operating like a well-oiled machine.”

“Pride is about including, acceptance and equality. And I think these guests felt our team spirit as we all celebrated together. That feeling is definitely represented in the tip.” That’s good news. Show me the money, Glenn!

After asking for a drumroll, Glenn happily announced that the tip was $30,000 US. “I’m pretty sure this is the biggest tip we’ve ever received,” Daisy said. Everyone was ecstatic.

“We’re gettin’ lit!” Chase shouted.

“But …” Captain Glenn added ominously, “I hate to announce this. We pick up the next charter tomorrow.” So no night out then? And Chase was so excited.

“I was really looking forward to a night out,” Gary interviewed, “so I could actually just chat to Mads about how I feel. And now I can’t because now it’s get the boat ready and f*cking start charter tomorrow.”

“I can’t let all the hard work go unappreciated,” Glenn added, “so in place of going off the boat tonight for a night out, I’m bringing in a chef from a local restaurant called Frauday’s, and we’re going to start with hors d’oeuvres up on the flybridge at 7:30.”

“Here’s to the best team ever,” Glenn added, as he raised his champagne glass in salute. “And [to] the best charter tip. Well done, guys!”

The final charter preference sheet meeting

Late in the afternoon, Captain Glenn called for Daisy, Gary and Ileisha to meet him in the crew mess for the preference sheet meeting.

“Todd runs a wildly successful travel company,” Gary began reading, “and is looking forward to sunbathing under the sails with his boyfriend Grant, mother Debra and his friends. Brad is Ray’s husband. Nick is Brad and Ray’s boyfriend. This trio are a throuple who live, travel and share everything together.” Hmm, I wonder how the sleeping arrangements will work. Is one of the throuple going to have to share the other twin cabin with Mom?

Interestingly enough, Glenn had never heard of a throuple. “So it’s not a menage-a-trois for an evening? It’s a relationship thing?” he asked. You learn something new every day, Glenn.

“He’s just the garnish on top,” Gary clarified.

“Are you gonna be a garnish for me and Colin?” Daisy quipped. Inappropriate, Daisy! I don’t think Colin would find that funny.

“On night one the guests request a ‘Glamazon’ theme party, which is a mix of exotic, jungle and glam,” Daisy continued reading. “[On day two], they want to have an ABC theme party, and they expect all the yacht crew to participate.”

“What’s an ABC party?” Ileisha asked. Glenn explained that it meant, “Anything but clothes.”

“How do you know that?!” Daisy demanded.

“I have another side you’re not privy to,” Glenn said with a wicked smile.

“I’m an ABC party virgin,” Glenn admitted, “but I’ve been naked in front of other people before, just chilling out on the boat.” Ewwwww. Sorry, just not my thing. No thanks.

“I’ll be remaining fully clothed,” Glenn clarified.

Gary and Daisy chat

“I’m gonna miss you when it’s over, Dais,” Gary told the chief stew, as they enjoyed a drink together. “I told you from the beginning that I wanted to explore what would happen between us, but then I came onto the boat and heard you’d already hooked up with someone.” He never stops trying.

“I just can’t deal with this,” Daisy muttered. “Colin’s not going to be happy [with] the way we interact. We probably should stop flirting.”

“But it’s who I am,” Gary insisted. “He knows that. It’s not like I’m trying to … Actually, let me just stop talking.”

As everyone gathered for dinner on the flybridge, Alex and Mads were finally talking. “Things could have gone very differently,” he told her.

“I’m a believer in no regrets,” Mads responded.

As everyone was seated and the beautiful canapés began arriving, Chase made a toast, “Cheers to the fact that we’re all really different, but we come together for a common goal, and we f*cking crush it.”

Later in the crew mess, Gary and Daisy got into it again. “I’m going to stop flirting with you because Colin’s going to get angry,” the first mate said.

“I am with Colin,” she finally told Gary.

“I’m with Mads,” Gary snapped back. Um, no you’re not. “Are we with these people to try and get back at one another?” Let it go, Gary.

“Absolutely not,” Daisy said, walking away from him. “Why would you say that? It’s so f*cking inappropriate.”

Hot tub on a school night?

Rejoining the rest of the crew on the flybridge, Daisy wanted everyone to put on their swimsuits and go into the hot tub. But instead, everyone stepped over the railing and jumped into the sea.

Back in the crew mess, Chase wanted to do a “trust-building” exercise with Gary. “I swear to God, I will catch you,” he promised. So Gary jumped sideways like a baby dolphin, and Chase totally let him hit the floor. Hard. The rest of the crew laughed hilariously. So much for trust.

“You committed so hard,” Chase laughed.

“Nobody’s drinking anymore,” Daisy announced. “We are picking up charter in the morning.”

Alex caught Mads sneaking into Gary’s cabin. “Goodnight,” he told her sweetly.

She just laughed and said, “F*ck off, Alex,” as she climbed into bed with Gary.

“Why does this feel so good?” he asked her.

“Cause we’re drunk,” Mads answered. Exactly.

Meanwhile, Daisy and Colin carried a pillow and comforters up to the sundeck for some privacy, since the guest cabins needed to be ready for the next day.

Once everyone had finished their sexy business, they all returned to their respective cabins. “Ugh,” Colin complained, “it smells like sex in here.”

The final pickup day

The next morning, Glenn woke up at 7:30, just a few hours before the charter guests were to arrive. When he walked out of his cabin, he found the mess his crew had left from the night before. “Oh, man,” he said. “We’ve got charter in a few hours, and the boat’s a mess.”

“Last night was a school night,” he went on. “They know the drill, but they probably had a couple too many. Come on, guys.” Glenn walked around picking up after his crew, who were still sound asleep. Go wake them up, Glenn!

“Even though this is the last charter,” he added, “it doesn’t mean we can drop our guard. Not cool.”

Finally, he went to the crew quarters and started knocking on doors. “You guys, it’s eight o’clock,” he said. “We’re picking up in three hours. There’s a lot of sh*t to clean up.”

Or as Gary would say, “Wakey, wakey, eggs and bacy.”

"Good instincts" - Below Deck fans praise Captain Kerry in season 11 episode 15

Below Deck season 11 aired a brand new episode on Monday, May 13, 2024. During the segment, the interior crew clashed with the new chef, Nick Tatlock. Captain Terry then sat down with chief stew Fraser and the chef to have a conversation about their disagreements.

He told the two that they had to put their differences aside since they only had one charter left. Fans of the show took to social media to chime in on the situation and praised Captain Kerry for "nipping it in the bud" because the issue was escalating.

Below Deck season 11 fans compared the caption to Captain Lee Rosbach , and said they were initially "sad" about the change. However, they noted that it was a "great change" for the Bravo show.

Fans further said:

What happened in Below Deck season 11 episode 15?

In Below Deck season 11 episode 15, titled, We'll Always Have Paris , the interior crew clashed with the chef. The chartered guests went for a beach picnic and on the way, Paris expressed her dislike towards the new chef while in conversation with Ben. She told him Nick was "just really stubborn."

Their conflict continued even after the service started, as Nick felt that the stew was trying to "micromanage" him. The Below Deck stew further told the cameras that he outranked her since she had one stripe and he had three.

When Nick asked for her opinion about how he should plate sushi, she told him she didn't want to have to carry a tray around all the time. In a confessional, she added that Fraser told her that the food was going to be plated.

Back on the boat, Captain Kerry asked the Below Deck chef how things went on the beach and the chef explained that Paris changed his entire plan.

"When a chef comes on the beach, he has the three stripes. A single-stripe stew on the beach needs to adapt to the chef, not the other way around," the captain said in a confessional.

The conflict between Nick and Paris continued throughout the episode and eventually also involved chief stew Fraser. After the charter ended, the captain called Paris to the galley for a conversation. The captain told her that it wasn't her place to argue with Nick while at the beach and Paris responded by saying that she was following Fraser's orders.

The captain then called Fraser and Nick in for a conversation and told them they needed to work together.

"This communication breakdown between departments. I'm not f*cking having it. I don't need any stews telling Nick how to do his job. I don't give a sh*t if you like each other or not," he said.

Below Deck season 11 will return next week with a brand new episode on Bravo.

Below Deck Recap: Plating and Bowling

It would be exciting to think of this episode as the calm before the storm, but I fear the end of the season will more likely be a drizzle. Speaking of drizzles, the main drama again is Paris and Fraser micromanaging the chef with their plating suggestions. (More on that in a moment.) Before the charter even starts, Ben and Dylan are too excited about the primaries’ daughter and her friends who aren’t old enough to rent a car. Sunny briefly shuts down their ogling and comments with a curt “Enough.” Thank you, Sunny. Dylan gets the honor of being first to talk to the girls. He’s the closest to their age and proves it by seizing the opportunity to make an STD ( St. David ) joke while adjusting their umbrellas.

Fraser is happy to have a family onboard because that’s what he’s used to working for. He assigns Paris to run service for the beach picnic and specifically tells her to manage Nick. As Nick preps the lunch, Fraser suggests plating the sushi, but Nick declines since it’s more work. I’m confused about what the alternative is if they don’t serve it on plates, then realize I’m an idiot who doesn’t deserve to be a luxury-yacht guest; plating of course means individual servings, whereas Nick has prepared everything family-style. On the beach, Paris makes individual plates out of this, and they don’t look particularly nice, though her tablescape is actually pretty. Nick, annoyed, lets her do what she wants and leaves before the main course to get back to the boat. He gripes that he has three stripes to her one but doesn’t pull rank. Nick has a defeated,  smoking–Ben Affleck–meme  energy about him.

We see a few phone calls home in this episode, and two are sweet. Barbie tells her mom about Kyle, and he pops in to say hello. Barbie’s mom digs the accent. Xandi video-chats with her little brother, the most important person in her life. She says she took care of him growing up when their parents fought. The third phone call feels more like a producer wanted a check-in from Sunny. Sunny explains to a friend that Ben forced her to take a step back in their relationship, but it feels easy and fun now, not worrying whether they have feelings for each other. She’s done plucking metaphorical “He likes me, he likes me not” petals every day. This emotional breakthrough emboldens Sunny to make out with Ben on the clock. Ben thinks the space between them has worked in his favor and is starting to genuinely like Sunny. “Space” must mean realizing he doesn’t have any other options.

That afternoon, Nick tells Kerry how Paris changed the plating plan at the beach. Kerry later asks Fraser if there was some confusion over the presentation. Fraser says there wasn’t, but Kerry can tell he’s being coy about it. Fraser had no problem complaining to the captain before, so it’s unclear why he chooses to lie now.

Dylan serves the girls Sex on the Beaches, which raises my suspicions that these guests can’t legally drink in the U.S. He tells Sunny he has his eye on Sarah, the daughter of the primaries, though he doesn’t know her name. His flirting game continues to be unmatched. Alone in his room, Dylan psychs himself up by rapping about taking her to his cabin and his big dick. I never thought I’d miss the mantras.

Tonight’s dinner is casino themed. Paris thinks the octopus needs a green drizzle, and Nick says she can do it herself. I have to say, it does tie the plate together. For the brioche and bread-and-butter-pudding dessert, Paris tells Nick he needs more gas in the whipped-cream canister. He ignores her and the cream comes out a bit soupy. Nick goes into his cabin to scream. Nevertheless, the guests and Kerry love the food. It’s what’s on the inside that counts.

After dinner, the girls go to the hot tub and play truth-or-dare with Dylan. They dare him to take off his shirt and do his best dance for them. His dance moves are cringey, but dousing himself in water gets him cheers. Dylan tells us in an interview that he decided to play it safe and not hook up. To be clear, nothing seemed to suggest it was a legitimate opportunity. He does get Sarah’s Instagram, and they make vague plans to party in LA. It’s a nice little win for Dylan and much more realistic than hooking up when her whole family is right downstairs.

The next morning, Nick is cooking crêpes for breakfast when Paris has the gall to tell him which heat setting to cook on and says he needs more butter. I’m appalled. Until now, her suggestions have been seemingly in line with Fraser’s instructions and presentation focused, but telling a chef “low and slow” is outright insanity. Nick is 100 percent right in thinking she needs to back off.

Above deck, it’s windy, and Kerry is nervous about docking. The boat next to their slot has a dinghy out that makes it a tighter space. In typical  Below Deck  fashion, the music amps up like we’re in a heist movie and they pull it off. The crew makes out with $25,000, which seems like a super-generous tip for a one-night charter. Is it possible a night got edited out? Barbie says she’ll put the money toward clothes and isn’t worried about her dad cutting her off because she can resell her stuff and be fine for a couple of years. As a parting gift, co-primary Rob offers to host everyone on their yacht in Newport Beach and be their crew. Maybe he’s too generous for his own good.

Kerry calls Paris up to the bridge to discuss the beach picnic. He says it’s not her place to argue with the chef, and she points the finger toward Fraser: She assumed he and Nick had discussed plating before. Kerry agrees it’s between the chief stew and the chef, not the rest of the team. Kerry reminds Paris to stay professional and not be dragged into it. Dragging is questionable — I’d say Paris leaped into it willingly, but Fraser definitely encouraged the behavior. When Paris returns downstairs, Barbie asks if she got fired. This makes me wonder if there’s more going on that we haven’t seen. Next, Kerry brings in Fraser and Nick to address the communication breakdown. He lays down the law: The stews shouldn’t be telling Nick how to do his job, and Nick needs to be more assertive. There’s only one charter left, and Kerry won’t let it fall to shit. Fraser suggests they go through all the menus beforehand and he’ll run all services going forward. Nick agrees with this plan, which isn’t the strongest start to being more assertive but it seems promising.

We get a preview of next week’s guests at the preference-sheet meeting: The primary, Michele, is a recently separated pediatric dentist from Maryland bringing her girlfriends for a freedom tour to celebrate her 50th birthday “Beyoncé style.” I have a nightmare vision of Ben and Dylan doing the “Single Ladies” dance and hope it doesn’t come true.

Earlier, Kyle and Barbie were sneaking stairwell kisses, and all seemed well until the crew’s night out. Kyle wears a kilt, which Barbie thinks is not hot at all and wants him to change. She gets that it’s a “heritage thing” but is nervous that he’s not wearing anything under it and likes to show his “situation.” It’s not the worst look of the night by far; Dylan wears a bow tie with a short-sleeved button-down, and Nick wears a tie that looks lonely without a jacket. It would be one thing if they were going to a fancy dinner, but they’re going … bowling.

Kyle loves that he’s winding Barbie up over the kilt. He decides that if he wins bowling, he’s flashing. He does indeed win and delivers on the promise. Barbie’s embarrassed. As usual, she fears her family’s reaction. She thinks they’ll have a heart attack and gets Kyle to stop flashing the cameras. He doesn’t want to make her uncomfortable and knows he’s in damage-control mode now. Barbie says, “I still love you,” to which Kyle replies, “Same.” Earlier, she used the L-word more jokingly, but now I question whether we’ve missed a big relationship moment if they’re throwing it around already.

Back on the boat, Xandi is proud to be going to sleep sober. Go, Xandi! The couples opt for their usual sleeping arrangements. Cuddling, Kyle says he’s wrapped around Barbie’s finger. She hopes the end of the season won’t be the end of them, but she’s still scared that they’re so different. Barbie says she’s starting to fall in love, which is total  Bachelor -speak but does reassure me that we didn’t miss the first proper “I love you”s. She has changed a lot in her time on the yacht, but it’s TBD if she can love — let alone date — “somebody who doesn’t wear pants.”

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

90 day fiancé: what liz woods' instagram reveals about her (does she post about her new boyfriend), 90 day fiancé: signs michael ilesanmi's ego's out of control after angela split (is single life going to his head).

• Lara Du Preez excelled as the lead deckhand in Below Deck Med season 8, gaining fan favoritism.
• Lara continues to work in yachting, adding more experience to her resume post-Below Deck Med.
• Lara has been in a relationship for over four years and shares her journey on social media.

Below Deck Mediterranean season 8 star Lara Du Preez has been thriving since her appearance on the reality show. She was on the deck team and was promoted to Below Deck Me d bosun Luka Brunton ’s lead deckhand. Lara was an experienced deckhand who worked well with her bosun under the guidance of Captain Sandy Yawn. Despite not appearing on the show before, Lara became a Below Deck Med breakout star who offered the audience comedic relief during the eighth season. While the deck team got along well during the charter season, the same can't be said about the interior.

Natalya Scudder and Tumi Mhlongo feuded throughout Below Deck Med season 8, leaving a negative cast on the rest of the crew. The stews couldn't see eye to eye, thanks to Kyle Viljoen, who pitted them against each other. While they fought, Lara was busy doing an exceptional job as the lead deckhand. Notably, she is not a part of the Below Deck Med season 9 cast. While she should’ve returned, Lara has been busy since Below Deck Med season 8 ended .

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.

Lara Still Works In Yachting

She’s adding more experience to her resume.

Since exiting the series, Lara has continued working in yachting. Her Instagram account is filled with her travels and adventures on Below Deck Med and beyond the show. In a series of photos posted in April 2024 on Lara ’s Instagram, she posed for pictures on a boat with a co-worker. On the picture, she tagged “@ yachtarience ,” another superyacht she seemingly was working on . “ Not a bad gig, ” Lara wrote in the caption of the Instagram pictures that were geotagged to the Bahamas.

Lara Is In A Relationship

She’s been dating her partner for four years.

Lara has been in a relationship for nearly four years with a woman named Arusha Marlene. On her Instagram, Lara posts pictures with her partner, showing their relationship to her 24,700 followers on Instagram. She met her partner in high school, where they became good friends. Lara said they found “ love at first kiss ," and since sharing their first kiss, “ there was no turning back.”

Lara was likely in an open relationship during Below Deck Med , as she did kiss Luka and other women during their crew nights out. The deckhand opened up about her coming out journey on Below Deck Med . Before she came out as lesbian during the COVID-19 pandemic, she identified as bisexual.

Lara's Journey On Below Deck Mediterranean

She was a fan favorite crew member.

Lara had an exceptional journey in Below Deck Med season 8. The South African native was directly affected by Ruan Irving’s document issue during episode 1. After Captain Sandy promoted Luka to bosun, she naturally rose in the ranks on the deck team. Lara went into Below Deck Med season 8 with four years of yachting experience, which showed her ability to navigate conflict. She even opened up about her experience coming out as a lesbian during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was brave for her to share her story coming out on the show.

She and Luka had to deal with the boisterous behavior of Max Salvador, one of the deckhands. Lara was able to give Max tough love, improving his performance. Her ability to adapt to the demands of the Mustique impressed Luka, and he promoted her to lead deckhand. For Lara, getting the role of lead deckhand felt like her “ dreams are literally just coming true .” Luka told Decider he “ knew from the start ” Lara was going to be his righthand woman and just needed “ to see her work ” before promoting her.

“I didn’t even really have to tell her what to do. It was almost like she could read my mind. She knew exactly what needed to be done from the beginning of the season.”

On Below Deck Med , Lara said it had always been her “ dream ” to become lead deckhand . She revealed she had experienced “ a very rocky life ” but gained more stability when she started yachting. From then, Lara continued to shine during Below Deck Med season 8. She had a great sense of humor and wasn’t afraid to get her hands dirty when working.

Will Lara Ever Return To Below Deck Mediterranean?

Captain sandy should have hired her on below deck med season 9.

It would be silly if Captain Sandy did not hire Lara for another season of Below Deck Med in the future. While season 8 felt lackluster at times, the connection between Luke and Lara was undeniable. They worked together seamlessly and managed a successful deck team together. It’s confusing why the duo is not returning for Below Deck Med season 9 . However, Lara has not said she won’t return to the show despite being a fan-favorite cast member.

Lara was an exceptional lead deckhand during Below Deck Med season 8. Since working under Captain Sandy, she has stayed in the yachting industry and continued to travel the world. It would be nice to see her reunite with Luka in a future season of Below Deck Med , but now, that seems unlikely.

Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 premieres Monday, June 3 at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo.
