G RENADA, CARIBBEAN: 'Below Deck' Season 11 is poised to premiere on February 5, 2024, at 9 pm ET on Bravo, with subsequent availability on Peacock the following day on Peacock. The luxury yacht featured in this season is none other than the familiar St David, also utilized in Season 10.

The yacht is an exquisite creation from the renowned Italian shipyard, Benetti, and is owned by Czech millionaire David Beran, a 56-year-old entrepreneur who serves as the founder and majority stakeholder of Profireal Group.

'Below Deck ' has consistently captivated the global audience by providing a glimpse into the world of multi-million dollar luxury charter yachts. This season unfolds against the stunning backdrop of Grenada waters, where St. David gracefully cruised from mid-February to mid-March 2023.

As the largest yacht ever featured on the show, St David, with its 196 feet of elegance, offers ample space for both the crew and guests to navigate the drama that unfolds in Bravo's longest-running reality series. 

The St. David's yacht boasts a staggering value of $35 million with an annual operational cost of $4 million. The overall price of a yacht is influenced by various factors, including the materials and technology used in its construction. St. David showcases an exterior design by Winch Design and an interior design by Winch Design.

The luxurious vessel can host up to 12 guests and also offers accommodation for 15 crew members. In the world rankings for largest yachts, St. David holds the 511th position. Notably, among the creations of Benetti SpA, it claims the 28th spot in terms of size.

Despite its impressive features, it's important to note that the yacht is currently not for sale.

The yacht also provides a range of amenities such as spa and massage facilities, a deck jacuzzi, a gym, air conditioning, satellite TV, WiFi, and anchor stabilizers.

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

It is the largest yacht on the series to date.

The St. David yacht sails in St. Lucia in 'Below Deck' Season 10.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Below Deck: Biggest Yacht St. David Vs. Captain Lee’s My Seanna

Below Deck: Biggest Yacht St. David Vs. Captain Lee's My Seanna

Below Deck season 10 premiered on Bravo on Nov. 21 and Captain Lee Rosbach ‘s back with a new crew and the biggest boat yet. Superyacht St. David is a grander motor yacht than any other boat Captain Lee has commandeered before. Although My Seanna is Captain Lee’s favorite boat from the show, he’s also impressed by the biggest yacht St. David in Below Deck history. Here’s how St. David compares versus My Seanna.

My Seanna https://t.co/eSNlM3hav3 — Captain Lee (@capthlr) September 26, 2022

“It’s a big boat. Calf muscles are going to be burning. It’s 197 feet, a 1,093 tons. The state rooms are bigger, the hallways are longer. We’ve got an extra deck, that’s another flight of stairs,” Captain Lee said about the new Below Deck season 10 motor yacht St. David.

How Biggest Yacht St. David Compare In Size To My Seanna From Below Deck Season 9

Motor yacht My Seanna from Below Deck seasons 6, 8, and 9 (Bravo).

Motor yacht My Seanna from Below Deck seasons 6, 8, and 9 (Bravo).

Superyacht St. David actually isn’t a whole lot bigger than My Seanna, the superyacht used for entertaining charter guests Below Deck seasons 6, 8 and 9.

St. David is 197 feet long, compared to My Seanna’s 185 feet. However, the beam, or width of the boats, is significant. My Seanna, now renamed Starship, is 29.6 feet at its widest point while St. David’s beam is 34.1 feet. St. David gross tonnage is 969 tons (Captain Lee was a little off) versus My Seanna’s 703 tons. St. David is a little newer, built in 2008. My Seanna is 21 years-old, built in 2001.

St, David can also go faster at a max speed of 17 knots compared to My Seanna’s 15 knots. Both superyachts have 6 cabins for guests, but St. David can fit 14 crew members instead of 11. St. David has a dance floor, while My Seanna has a helipad.

St. David’s Water Toys Compared to My Seanna’s

Superyacht St. David is partly bigger so it can fit a bunch of water toys. The boat includes a Yamaha GP 1300 WaveRunner and one other jet ski, waterskis, two Cayago F7 SEABOBs , wakeboards, scuba diving equipment, kayaks, fishing gear, inflatable water toys, and two tenders. My Seanna only has one tender. St. David currently doesn’t offer a waterslide, so maybe the deck crew in Below Deck season 10 will be lucky.

How Much It Costs To Charter St. David Versus My Seanna

On Below Deck , charter guests pay less renting a yacht for a few days than a typical yacht charter. Chartering a yacht is typically a one-week trip. St. David costs $333,000 USD to charter for a week on the low seasons in summer and winter. On the high seasons, a charter on St. David will cost you a cool $354,000!

Perhaps motor yacht Starship (previously My Seanna) is more in your price range. A week chartering My Seanna is $275,000 throughout the summer season and the low season in winter. The high season in winter costs $315,000.

Below Deck Season 10: Meet The Cast

Captain Lee Rosbach smiling at event

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

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

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

Captain Lee Rosbach

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

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

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

Fraser Olender

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

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

Rachel Hargrove

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

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

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

Hayley De Sola Pinto

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

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

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

Alissa Humber

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

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

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

Camille Lamb

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

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

Ross McHarg

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

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

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

Luis Antonio 'Tony' Duarte

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

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

Katie Glaser

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

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

Ben Willoughby

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

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

Meet the Below Deck season 10 cast: who's who in the Bravo series

It's time to meet the cast of the superyacht St. David.

Below Deck season 10 key art

It's time to set sail on the largest boat in Below Deck history! Below Deck season 10 features the massive 197-foot superyacht St. David with Captain Lee, the "Stud of the Sea" at the helm. 

In the 10th season of the beloved Bravo franchise, the St. David calls the port of St. Lucia home. Captain Lee has two familiar faces with him this season in Chef Rachel Hargrove and Chief Stew Fraser Olender. Together they'll navigate a new crew.

Bravo has provided brief bios for the returning crew members as well as the newcomers. So let's get to know the cast of Below Deck season 10!

Captain Lee Rosbach

Below Deck season 10

"Captain Harold Lee Rosbach has spent more than three decades in the yachting industry. Born and raised in landlocked Michigan, he discovered his untapped love for the water while managing restaurants in Turks & Caicos. It was then that an acquaintance invited him to serve as a mate on a sailboat delivery to earn extra cash. At 35, Lee obtained his captain's license and left the restaurant business behind to pursue his newfound passion. Since then, the Running Against The Tide author has commanded more than a dozen super yachts. Lovingly known as the 'Stud of the Sea,' Lee values the special bonds he forms on deck and always puts the safety of everyone on board above all else. Lee is excited to return to the Caribbean this season with familiar faces Chef Rachel Hargrove and Chief Stew Fraser Olender as he adjusts to new super yacht, St. David."

Rachel Hargrove, chef

Chef Rachel Hargrove on Below Deck season 10

"Originally from Tampa, Fla., Rachel Hargrove is a cosmopolitan yacht chef with an extensive repertoire of culinary skills. Although predominantly self-taught, Rachel attended the Culinary Institute of America and held an apprenticeship at the Michelin-starred restaurant Quatro Passi in Nerano, Italy. After spending time in Thailand, Japan, India and Italy to expand her craft, Rachel revels in her wide range of cuisines — from molecular gastronomy to gluten-free pasta, she is unphased by almost any charter guest preference sheet. A talented and experienced chef, Rachel admits her demanding professionalism can be polarizing to others. No matter their opinion, Rachel is always sure to stand her ground on deck."

Fraser Olender, chief stew 

Fraser Olender in Below Deck season 10

"With a passion for luxury hospitality and travel, it was a no-brainer for Fraser to join the yachting industry four years ago. He got his start on a motor yacht in Naples, Italy, and has never looked back. Prior to yachting, Fraser worked in commercial bookings for leading model agencies in London. In the off-season, he loves to travel to picturesque destinations, staying at the world's finest hotels with the dream to one day open his own. Returning to the Caribbean to work under Captain Lee again, Fraser is thrilled to be chief stew on St. David. However, when the charter guests get too demanding, he must prove his worth as a department lead."

Ross McHarg, bosun 

Ross McHarg on Below Deck season 10

"Leading the deck team this season is Bosun Ross McHarg. Originally from the UK, the British yachtie has spent the last 15 years living all over the world. Most recently, his travels have landed him in Asia, where he has set up base. Twelve years ago, Ross found yachting through teaching ski seasons in Europe and abandoned the snow for the sand without a second thought. With his love of travel and meeting new people, yachting was the perfect career move. A seasoned bosun, Ross brings experience and wisdom to his team, but his flirty ways get him in hot water with the crew."

Luis Antonio 'Tony' Duarte, deckhand 

Tony Duarte in Below Deck season 10

"Originally from Costa Rica, deckhand Luis Antonio 'Tony' Duarte is no stranger to the seas. An adrenaline junkie, Tony has experience as a dive master in South Africa, whale-watching guide in Costa Rica and a zip-liner in the Bahamas. When he's not working in beautiful, remote locations, Tony enjoys surfing, fishing and cliff jumping. A man of nomadic nature with a passion for travel, Tony adventures from place to place but is looking forward to calling St. David his home for the charter season. With prior experience on smaller boats, Tony welcomes the challenge aboard his first super yacht." 

Ben Willoughby, deckhand 

Ben Willoughby in Below Deck season 10

"Born and raised on the Gold Coast of Australia, deckhand Ben Willoughby is a self-described 'ocean child at heart.' Inspired by a childhood friend's yachtie lifestyle, Ben first took to the high seas in 2020 when he joined a mega yacht crew in France. Combining his passion for fitness with his love of the water, Ben has worked as both a deckhand and personal trainer on yachts for the past three years. A social guy who firmly believes 'a Pina Colada is always a good decision,' Ben is eager to bring the party onboard. This thrill-seeking Aussie is determined to stand out on the deck of the St. David."

Hayley De Sola Pinto, stew 

Hayley de Sola Pinto in Below Deck season 10

"Hailing from Cornwall, England, charismatic new stew Hayley De Sola Pinto is excited to cruise the Caribbean waters. During most of the year, Hayley is an advanced aesthetics practitioner for her self-built business Classen Aesthetics. Her love of travel and meeting new people has led her to work on and off yachts since she was 23. With her humor and empathetic personality, Hayley specializes in making charter guests feel welcome and at home on St. David. However, her admittedly loud and over-the-top personality often gets her into the mix of drama onboard."

Katie Glaser, deckhand 

Katie Glaser in Below Deck season 10

"Deckhand Katie Glaser first fell in love with the glamorous and fast-paced yachting industry when she moved from Colorado to Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Since starting her boating career as a stew three years ago, Katie has built an extensive resume as a deckhand and first mate on a variety of yachts. While Katie has worked in different corporate fields, including IT recruiting, account management and beverage sales, she has always had an affinity for the service industry. Katie spends nearly as much time in the water as she does on it, being a fan of snorkeling, wakeboarding and swimming. Always up for an adventure, this extroverted yachtie is eager to prove she has what it takes."

Alissa Humber, stew 

Alissa Humber in Below Deck season 10

"A born and bred Floridian, Alissa Humber found herself diving headfirst into yachting just over two years ago. Now residing in Miami, Alissa spends her time working as a stew on temporary yacht jobs. During the off season, Alissa loves to shop and is enamored by the gorgeous, colorful fashion in her city. She also embraces nature and enjoys kayaking or hiking in the Sunshine State. Working as a stew aboard St. David, Alissa prides herself on pleasing the charter guests and ensuring they have the best time onboard. However, when conflict emerges between her and another stew, tensions rise amongst the entire crew."

Camille Lamb, deckhand/stew 

Camille Lamb in Below Deck season 10

"Coming from a family of merchant mariners, boating has always been in Camille’s blood. With sailing experience since she was 9, Camille is a natural-born yachtie with a love for the water, the beach and traveling. An avid singer and songwriter as well, Camille competed on American Idol last year. Upon her elimination, Camille found herself lost and returned to her roots on the water. With just her sailing experience from childhood, Camille secured a position on a day-charter yacht in the Virgin Islands. Since then, Camille has had more formal yachting training under her belt with work experience in Miami and Los Angeles. Camille joins St. David this season working both on deck and inside the yacht as a deck/stew, but when she's split between the two departments, she loses motivation on board."

Below Deck season 10 airs on Mondays on Bravo, with new episodes streaming on Peacock the next day in the US and on Hayu in the UK.

How to charter a Below Deck superyacht

Want to know how much it would cost to charter one of the luxury superyachts featured on US hit TV series Below Deck ? We take a look inside Below Deck ’s famous superyachts that you can charter for yourself, and find out what they have to offer charter guests on board.

Northern Sun

The star yacht of Below Deck Down Under season two, the 50.8-metre Northern Sun (originally delivered as Hokko Maru ) has lived a full and fascinating life. She was the largest yacht built by Narasaki Shipbuilding at the time and worked as an ice-class research vessel, analysing marine life and ocean currents in the North Japan Sea. As a result, she has the hardy constitution of an explorer, transformed from ship to superyacht under the stewardship of her new owners.

Northern Sun’s main deck is now dedicated entirely to entertainment, from the al fresco dining area to the main saloon with its piano and games table. Other leisure highlights include gym equipment, a dedicated library on the lower deck and an outdoor Jacuzzi, surrounded by sun pads and lounge beds. The owners’ addition of a forward seating area during her refit allows for versatile recreation, whether the mood calls for cocktail parties or quiet, waterside contemplation. 

Accommodation is for up to 12 guests across six cabins, with rich, warm interiors that feature natural materials such as narra and makore wood (commonly known as cherry mahogany). The ex-explorer also – naturally – has impressive stowing capacity. She's able to carry two Laser sailboats, scuba-diving equipment, a waterski and a two-deck-high inflatable water slide, with the broker describing her as a "family-orientated" vessel. 

Charter cost: Northern Sun is managed for charter by Ocean Independence with a weekly charter rate starting from $161,700.

The star of Below Deck Mediterranean season seven, 49.8 metre Home is the first “green” superyacht to appear on the show. Featuring a ground-breaking combination of a super-efficient Fast Displacement Hull Form by Van Oossanen Naval Architects with power provided by a hybrid propulsion system, Home boasts reduced emissions and fuel costs for the eco-conscious charter guest.

Defined by a distinctive vertical bow and large expanses of glass, Home was penned by Omega Architects and launched by Heesen in 2017. Her interiors, designed by Cristiano Gatto in a modern “Ibiza style”, can accommodate up to 12 guests in six cabins including a full-beam master cabin with a dedicated dressing room and a private office. There is also room for nine members of Below Deck crew on board, including Captain Sandy who has returned to the helm for the seventh season while Home is cruising the coasts of Malta .

The main socialising spot is up on the sundeck, complete with a Jacuzzi and sit-up bar, a shaded lounge and protection from the elements provided by glass screens. Closer to the water, a beach club with an air-conditioned gym is situated next to the swimming platform from which guests can launch the water toys including SeaBobs, Hoverboards, E-foils, Jet Skis and a Flyboard. Home also carries gear for scuba diving, waterskiing and wakesurfing for guests to make the most of their time on board.

Charter cost: Home is managed for charter by Burgess with a weekly charter rate starting from $245,000.

Sailing under her own name around the South Pacific islands of French Polynesia on Below Deck’s sixth series, the 56.4 metre My Seanna (now Starship ) was built by Delta Marine in 2000 and refitted in 2014. The Glade-Johnson designed superyacht reappeared again for season eight, where she was filmed cruising in Antigua. She is now starring in the latest season of the show, season nine, following her recent sale .

Key features include an open air Jacuzzi surrounded by an al fresco drinks bar, a gym, a sauna room, a helipad and a spacious beach club complete with a lounge, flatscreen TV and a small galley for preparing snacks or drinks. Her opulent interiors can accommodate up to 12 guests and 11 crew and even offer a home cinema and piano for entertaining in the main saloon. There are multiple toys carried on board as well, including gear for diving and spearfishing, Seabobs and equipment for underwater filming.

“The thing that I really love about My Seanna is the spacious cabins” says Worth Avenue retail charter broker, Shannon McCoy, who has appeared on episodes of Below Deck . She describes My Seanna as a “well-appointed yacht with a good collection of toys for the guests to enjoy,” offering an excellent layout with a variety of spaces that allows charterers “to have breakfast in a different place every morning or enjoy dinner whether it's outside under the sun or in the formal dining area.”

Charter cost: Starship is managed for charter by Worldwide Boat with a weekly charter rate starting from $275,000.

Lady Michelle

Sailing under her real name, Lady Michelle was the star of the sixth series of Below Deck Mediterranean , which was the latest series from the Med spin off. The 54.8 metre Benetti superyacht is the second biggest yacht ever to feature on the show, following just behind the 56.2 metre motor yacht The Wellington from season five. During season six Lady Michelle hosted charter guests in Ibenik, Croatia with Captain Sandy behind the helm.

First delivered in 2003, Lady Michelle features accommodation for up to 14 guests including a split-level master suite with its own panoramic observation lounge. Her Stefano Natucci interiors offer indoor and al fresco dining spaces, an expansive sundeck with a hot tub and dedicated gym. There’s also a range of toys at the guests’ disposal, from Jet Skis and Seabobs to fishing gear and a waterslide.

Charter cost: Lady Michelle is managed by Burgess with a weekly charter rate starting from $325,000.

The Wellington

Actually named The Wellesley , this 56.2 metre Oceanco superyacht is owned by property magnate and hotelier Khalid Affara and named after his luxury art deco hotel in London. Delivered in 1993, The Wellesley features extended deck spaces and Donald Starkey -penned interiors that replicate the grandeur of the eponymous Knightsbridge hotel. Highlights on board include a waterfall jacuzzi, an outdoor cinema for movies under the stars and a unique private club-style lounge complete with a Winston Churchill inspired cigar room. 

Describing why she makes an excellent charter yacht, James Graham-Cloete, director of charter management from TWW Yachts , says that The Wellesley is “ideal for entertaining family and friends, or hosting corporate events in utter privacy,” thanks to the fact that she “boasts some of the largest open deck spaces of any 56 metre on the water.” Graham-Cloete also adds that, on The Wellesley , “guests are invited to experience the same exceptional personal service, fine dining and attention to detail that has become synonymous with the hotel, on board a private superyacht,” while being looking after by her 14 crew members. “The crew have one of the lowest turnover rates in the industry and one of the best charter records, along with a full-time masseuse on board- making her the ultimate charter yacht!” says Graham-Cloete.

Charter cost: The Wellesley is managed by TWW Yachts with a weekly charter rate starting from €230,000.

The 47 metre Heesen -built superyacht Sirocco took centre stage in both the second and fourth series of Below Deck Mediterranean and introduced captain Sandy Yawn, who has become a returning cast member on the show. Launched in 2006 with a refit in 2013, Sirocco features a dark blue hull and was designed inside and out by Omega Architects . She accommodates up to 12 guests and nine crew and offers charterers an eight person Jacuzzi, a gym, plenty of al fresco entertainment areas and a well-stocked toy box comprising Jet Skis, a waterslide and gear for wakeboarding or waterskiing. Worth Avenue retail charter broker Shannon McCoy describes Sirocco as a “very, very popular charter yacht” and with her fleet of water toys and pedigree Heesen design, provides “an excellent platform for a great time at sea.”

Charter cost: Sirocco is managed for charter by Worth Avenue with a weekly charter rate starting from €195,000.

Ionian Princess

Appropriately named for the first season of Below Deck Mediterranean , which was set in Greece, the 45.7 metre Christensen -built yacht was captained by Mark Howard during filming. Launched in 2005 and last refitted in 2016, Ionian Princess features a luxurious Greek-style inspired interior finished with high-gloss sapelle mahogany joinery and custom in-laid stonework throughout. Ionian Princess can host up to 12 guests in six cabins, including two master cabins, and also boasts plentiful dining options and a sundeck equipped with a hot tub and sunpads. She also comes with a fleet of water toys from waterskiing and wakeboarding kit to Jet Skis and kayaks. Thanks to her shallow draft, she can also access hard-to-reach hidden gems in the Mediterranean Sea that other larger yachts aren’t able to. “ Ionian Princess is ideally suited for cruising the Mediterranean, which is the most sought-after region for summer yacht charters,” says her management team at charter brokers Northrop & Johnson.

Charter cost: Ionian Princess is managed by Northrop & Johnson with a weekly charter rate starting from $175,000.

Appearing on the second season of the show in 2014 under her own name, Ohana has since been sold and renamed Star Diamond The yacht was originally launched as Roxana by Admiral Marine in 1998 and last refitted in 2018. Designed by Donald Starkey , her interiors have a classic feel with glossy wood finishes and a colour palette blending nautical colours like creamy whites and marine blues. Key features on board this 46.94 metre yacht include accommodation for 10 guests and 10 crew, a six person Jacuzzi on the sun deck alongside a barbecue grill and plenty of spaces for al alfresco dining and drinking.

For a fun entrance into the water, Star Diamond also has an inflatable slide which guests can slip down on from the top deck plus there are a number of other water toys stored on board from Jet Skis to to fishing gear. During the summer, Star Diamond can be found cruising the coasts of New England while in winter she chases the sunshine by heading south to Florida and The Bahamas.

Charter cost: Star Diamond is managed by Ahoy Club and Northrop & Johnson with a weekly charter rate starting from $160,000.

This 50 metre Benetti superyacht kicked off the yachting TV show in style in July 2013. Captained by Lee Rosbach , she was based in the Caribbean isles during the filming of the first season. On Below Deck she was called Honor but in reality, her name is actually Barents . Delivered in 1999 to a design by Stefano Natucci , Barents just underwent an extensive full refit earlier in 2021 and can host up to 12 guests on board in six staterooms. Features viewers may have seen on the show include the stunning sun deck equipped with a hot tub, drinks bar and outdoor cinema, the additional indoor cinema, the beach club and the gym, as well as the extensive fleet of water toys such as Jet Skis and gear for wakeboarding, waterskiing, fishing and snorkelling.

Charter cost: Barents is not currently available for charter, though she was sold in 2020 for $9,900,000 by IYC and Worth Avenue Yachts to a buyer represented by Parsifal Yachting.

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

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

Superyacht Home by Heesen

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

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

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

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

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

Star of the Med

motor yacht st david below deck

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

50 Shades of White

motor yacht st david below deck

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

Party Lounge

motor yacht st david below deck

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

A Dreamier Shade of Pale

motor yacht st david below deck

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

Moody Sundeck

motor yacht st david below deck

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

On the Nose

motor yacht st david below deck

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

Sea Terrace

motor yacht st david below deck

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

The Athletic Club

motor yacht st david below deck

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

The Electric Package

motor yacht st david below deck

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

Fast, Efficient Hull

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

The Real Luxury Charter Yacht Behind 'Below Deck'

  • Share this on Facebook
  • Share this on X
  • Share via Email

By Louise Marsh   9 August 2013

Bravo have truly landed themselves a ratings success with the new reality TV series 'Below Deck', but how much does the real yacht cost to charter?

Following a group of crew members living and working aboard luxury charter yacht Honor , the series sees the upstairs and downstairs worlds collide as the young and single crew - “yachties” - live, love, and work together on board the charter yacht whilst tending to the needs of their wealthy charter guests. Each crew member brings a different level of experience to the yacht but they all share a love for the luxury lifestyle that allows them to visit some of the world's most beautiful and exotic yacht charter destinations .

We all know you can’t believe everything you see on reality TV, and this is no exception. Not an accurate representation of the luxury yachting industry in any way, here’s the real scoop on how 'Below Deck' came about.

The show is the creation of Rebecca Taylor who spent three summers working on charter yachts in New England while she went to college. After achieving a degree in film and TV, she thought up the concept of a reality TV show based on some of her real-life experiences doing that line of work. She pitched the idea to Bravo and the rest, as they say, is history.

After doing the legwork along with the other producers to find a charter yacht and charter guests who would agree to be filmed for the show, she booked charter yacht 'Cuor di Leone' for five weeks, renamed it Honor , gave most of the real crew a paid vacation (except for Captain Lee Rosbach, his mate and an engineer) and replaced them with the cast of the show.

The 50 metre Benetti Golden Bay Series charter yacht 'Cuor di Leone' is, in actuality, currently available on the charter market enabling you to experience the real luxury charter yacht lifestyle for yourself. She is available to charter from €161,000 per week.

She features a range of amenities on board including Sky TV, games consoles, Karaoke, Wifi and a gym. She also carries a plethora of water toys to ensure fun for all, including two tenders, Yamaha waverunners, scuba diving gear, water skis, wakeboards, a range of towable toys and fishing gear.

If you want to experience this lifestyle all for yourself with the real five star crew, contact your yacht charter broker for advice and information.

One Crew Member Was Fired and Another Left During an Explosive Below Deck: "Not Acceptable”

Find out which crew members left St. David on Below Deck Season 11, Episode 7.

motor yacht st david below deck

After several weeks of less-than-smooth sailing with the St. David crew, Captain Kerry Titheradge completed his first official Below Deck firing on Season 11, Episode 7 (which aired on March 18).

How to Watch

Watch  Below Deck on Bravo Mondays at 9/8c and next day on  Peacock . Catch up on the Bravo App .

The Aussie captain, who joined the series for Season 11 after appearing on Below Deck Adventure , let (SPOILER) Jared Woodin go following a series of mistakes as well a conflict with deckhand Kyle Stillie .

Jared wasn't the only yachtie who left the boat, however. Stew Cat Baugh decided to leave the vessel voluntarily after getting a serious phone call from a friend.

See Who Captain Kerry Titheradge Is Confronting in the Middle of the Night: "This Is Unacceptable"

Who did Jared Woodin get fired on Below Deck Season 11, Episode 7?

As soon as Season 11 began, Captain Kerry recognized that Jared wasn't cut out to be the Bosun of a mega yacht. After giving Jared a few charters to see if he could improve during dockings and with his communication, Kerry decided to fire the Connecticut native. 

Captain Kerry told Jared, "The way that you're treating these guys is not acceptable, and we've had discussions, and I've tried to guide you, I've shown you compassion. But, you've got sh-t going on, mate. You're your own worst enemy right now. You need to depart the vessel."

How Jared Woodin Reacted to Getting Fired

Once Kerry fired Jared, the dad of one seemed surprised. "I'm getting the boot?" Jared asked, and Kerry confirmed that was the case. "Really?"

Kerry noted that Jared did "have a lot going for [him]," but that  St. David  wasn't the right place for him. 

"Take this time and work on yourself," Kerry said. "Me keeping you here is a disservice to you."

Jared ultimately agreed with that assessment in an interview on the episode.

"I thought I was in a good headspace coming in to this, [but] I'm really not. And, as much as I would like to be, I'm just lying to myself," he said. "Although the situation sucks, I actually really do feel a little bit lighter." 

Watch Captain Kerry Titheradge's Girlfriend Make Her Below Deck Debut

Why did cat baugh leave on below deck season 11.

Jared wasn't the only crew member who left St. David on Season 11, Episode 7. After expressing how it was hard for her to find her place amongst the rest of the yachties, stew Cat Baugh received a troubling phone call from a friend named Megan when she was in her cabin.

"I'm sorry, I know you can't talk, but she's not answering, and no one else is awake right now," Cat's friend said on the phone. "Do you have, like, a couple seconds? I'm freaking the f-ck out."

Cat didn't reveal what exactly the phone call was about, but she recognized that she needed to get back home. 

"So, I got a call from my friend, Megan," Cat explained in an interview on the episode. "This is a situation I really can't talk about, but my friends are my family, so it feels really sh-tty not being able to be there for her."

Cat Baugh Hugs Captain Kerry as she leaves the yacht

After the charter guests arrived, Cat talked to her boss, Fraser Olender , about what she was feeling. He encouraged her to put her mental health first. Kerry did the same.

"My number one job is to take care of my crew and their health," Kerry said. "I'm well aware of mental health. She's got to go, now."

11 Things You Didn’t Know About Below Deck's Captain Kerry Titheradge

"I wish I could have stayed. But, the thing is, there's no way I could have," Cat concluded. "This is too much. I need to be with the people [who] need me, and also, on this boat, I'm at a breaking point. I need to protect my mental health. It's like my support system is at home, not here."

PRESENTING ST. DAVID

Large and impressive, this 60-meter steel tri-deck superyacht was built by the renowned Benetti shipyard in Italy. Lasting quality, design, and styling are the benchmarks of this famous builder. After the launches of Amnesia, Alibella, and Latitude, Benetti has raised the bar with the launch of the much-anticipated ST. DAVID. An evolution in design, her interior and exterior are innovatively-styled by Andrew Winch. Neil Cheston of CNI supervised construction.

ACCOMMODATIONS

The luxury motor yacht ST DAVID offers 12 guests the ultimate in comfort and luxury. The yacht can accommodate 12 guests, served by a professional crew of 16. The layout enhances social life aboard, from relaxing in the sundeck pool to dining in style on the bridge deck veranda.  Further, to chatting at the main deck bar or going afloat with the yacht’s extensive range of craft and watersports.

There are accommodations for up to 12 guests including a unique and especially large and luxurious owner’s suite with the bedroom raised above the lounge and the bathroom on a panoramic deck. Adjacent to the Owner’s suite is a small cabin for use by staff. Below, there is a full-beam VIP stateroom and four spacious double staterooms, all of which have the option to convert to twin beds.

St David boasts a beautiful interior designed by the celebrated Andrew Winch. The interior of this mega yacht is inspired by the grand hotels of the Italian Rivera.

The central, cantilevered floating staircase rises from the lower deck to the upper deck. It forms the heart of the yacht. In specific, linking her expansive sundeck with her dining area and upper deck.

ENTERTAINMENT

She has the perfect layout for a Mediterranean yacht charter.  This motor yacht provides particularly open, spacious, and functional outdoor entertainment areas. Specifically on the aft decks, sundeck,  and transom.  Charter guests enjoy the gymnasium on the sundeck. Additionally, a large Jacuzzi, wet bar, and Teppanyaki grill.

Entertainment comes from a state-of-the-art audiovisual package. This includes a Kaleidescape system with movies-on-demand and portable karaoke. Also, a full disco and bandstand on her sun deck.  She has a spacious swim platform and water sports center on her transom.

Power is derived from two Caterpillar 3512 main engines, allowing the yacht to cruise at 15 knots.

Tenders and Toys include a custom 7.5 meter Tresco tender with 300hp Volvo and Rolls Royce waterjet engines. There is also a 5-meter Novurania RIB tender with 160hp Volvo outdrive power. The most unique toy onboard has to be the Hovpod 3-man personal hovercraft.  She has standard toys found on most mega yachts. For instance, 2 Yamaha VX Cruiser wave runners, 2 Hobie canoes, and water-skis. In addition, wakeboards, game fishing gear, beach game equipment, and portable karaoke.

Below Deck renewed for Season 12: What about Below Deck Down Under and Below Deck Sailing Yacht?

Aesha Scott and Daisy Kelliher confessionals

Below Deck Season 12 has been confirmed, but there are still so many questions regarding the future of Below Deck Sailing Yacht and Below Deck Down Under.

Last week, Bravo announced that several shows have been green-lit for another season, with Below Deck Season 12 at the top of the list.

As Monsters and Critics previously reported, Captain Kerry Titheradge and a couple of Season 11 crew members will be back for another season of the OG show.

While the return of Below Deck is undoubtedly great news, fans are worried about the lack of renewals for Below Deck Down Under and Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

So, should Below Deck fans be concerned about the future of the Below Deck spin-offs?

Let’s take a look at what we know.

Why were Below Deck Down Under and Below Deck Sailing Yacht not renewed by Bravo?

There’s a very good reason why the two Below Deck spin-offs were not renewed right now. Neither of their already-ordered seasons have aired yet, so Bravo isn’t in a rush to get a new season in the can.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 and Below Deck Down Under Season 3 have been filmed and will eventually air on Bravo.

Last month, Bravo revealed that Below Deck Med Season 9 will premiere after Below Deck Season 11 wraps, rather than Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 , as fans had hoped.

The schedule change and the lack of news about Below Deck Down Under and Below Deck Sailing Yacht have fans in a frenzy. But there’s no reason to fear the two Below Deck spin-offs are done for good.

After all, Below Deck Med wasn’t renewed for Season 10, and we all know the Captain Sandy Yawn spin-off isn’t going anywhere before the milestone season.

It means we must wait until the already-filmed seasons air before getting news on future ones. Honestly, at this point, we would be happy with info on the seasons of Below Deck Sailing Yacht and Below Deck Down Under that have been filmed.
