Whatever Happened To Adam Glick From Below Deck?

Adam Glick Below Deck Mediterranean

Chef Adam Glick had quite the stint on Bravo's "Below Deck Mediterranean," coming full circle from being one of the most hated cast members to a fan favorite. Glick joined the cast in Season 2 after Ben Robinson departed the series after Season 1 and ran the galley by his rules. He definitely didn't abide by the primary's preference sheet, which was often an issue with the guests — onions, anyone? He went toe-to-toe with Chief Stew Hannah Ferrier at first, but the two eventually became friendly in Season 3. Perhaps his biggest rival was Bosun Wes Walton, due to their love triangle mess with deckhand Malia White. 

After leaving the "Below Deck Mediterranean" family after Season 3, it looked like we might not see the chef again, but he surprised everyone by appearing on a spin-off. "Below Deck Sailing Yacht" debuted in 2020 with Glick back in the galley, and he found himself in yet another reality television relationship with Chief Stew Jenna MacGillivray. Unfortunately, that pairing didn't work out either, and Glick has yet to appear on Bravo again. The chef appears to be happier than ever and has been doing well back on land since he left the network.

Adam Glick is still living the chef life off Below Deck

Since leaving Bravo, Adam Glick has his hands full with an array of different adventures. Fans of the chef can follow him on Instagram , where he posts adventures from his travels with his dog, which has made for quite the aesthetically pleasing timeline. According to his website , Glick hosts a cooking show on OutsideTV titled "Stoked," which features athletes and famous outdoorsmen/women. He also has two series in production, based around his Adventure Chef brand — a nickname he has given himself. The chef also partnered with Messermeister and released a six-piece knife kit which is available for a pretty penny.

Additionally, Glick has joined the world of charity and works with A Walk on Water, which provides surf therapy to children. "My first day helping to teach these kids how to surf in Malibu, CA, I was hooked, inspired, and relieved," Glick noted. "I'm starting to think the surf therapy is actually for the adults and surf instructors. The smile on these kids faces is priceless and makes you feel amazing inside." He also frequently offers private dining sessions at auction and donates the proceeds to different charities.

Below Deck ’s Adam Glick Hopes ‘Third Time’s the Charm’ for Sailing Yacht

Portrait of Justin Curto

Adam Glick likes an adventure. It’s why he chooses to live out of a van traversing the West, surfing and snowmobiling to his heart’s content, and it’s what got the yacht chef into sailing in the first place, on a 9,000-mile surfing trek across the Pacific Ocean. “There I was, cooking lamb chops 3,000 miles from anything,” he says. “You sit back for a second and think to yourself, Goddamn, I’ve got the coolest job on the planet .”

It’s also what brought him back for another round of Below Deck after the highs and lows of his two seasons as chef on Below Deck: Mediterranean . This time, he’s chef on a 180-foot sailing yacht in Greece, as a crew member on the first season of Below Deck: Sailing Yacht , which premiered last night. Not only does he have one of the hardest jobs on a sailboat (to be fair, being on a sailboat doesn’t make anyone’s job easier), he also has one of the hardest on the show, still having to prove to some viewers that he can follow a preference sheet and get along with a crew.

After leaving Below Deck: Mediterranean , what pulled you back to Below Deck: Sailing Yacht ? I think everyone enjoys a little adventure every now and then. To be candid with you, when Bravo calls you up and says, “Hey, you wanna do another series?,” you say yes. That’s the reality of the situation. But after traveling around for such a long time, I thought it would be a good little option to cruise out to Greece for six weeks, and [then] I could get back to my road trip.

So how does one cook on a sailboat? When you’re under sail, it’s a challenge to get around. And from the chef’s perspective, it’s particularly difficult because I’m trying to handle objects that are not intended to be stood up, ever — that is not ideal when you’re on a 30-degree lean for hours straight. And then let’s talk about when the captain doesn’t tell you he’s gonna switch over to the other side, and all your shit that was formerly pushed into a corner on the right has now slid its way to the left and you’ve got a disaster on your hands.

Another role is the size. A sailboat is inherently half the size of a super-yacht. You lose square footage because you’ve got to add that lean, sleek line in order to sail. And in order to do that, you lose deck. Now you’ve got stewards working in small spaces; the chef and the steward are gonna have to work in the tightest of space because she’s not gonna have her own stew pantry, most likely. It’s not stabilized, there’s no stabilizers, so when you’re at anchor, you just are out there rocking and rolling.

On Med , you had this up-and-down relationship with Captain Sandy. I know Captain Glenn says he’s a very hands-on captain, involved. What was it like for you to come onto a boat like that? When I first met Glenn, I found him to be a bit of a softie. Not that kind of hard-ass “I’m the captain.” I’m just like, Okay, this kind of seems cool . Captain Sandy was a true micromanager compared to Glenn. I think you’ll find that I didn’t have to worry about him looking over my shoulder.

It also seems like you’re getting along with Jenna, the chief stew, as well. What was that dynamic like in the beginning? Any time you meet someone on a boat, in general you just have to take it day by day. That was exactly how I approached meeting Jenna — and everyone on the crew, for that matter. But definitely, she seemed like a pretty cool woman. I look at my work to be the most important thing, and if anything else came along, I might entertain the idea, but first and foremost came providing for my clients.

You’re talking about wanting to focus on the food — was that the main change you wanted to make going into this season, or were there others as well? There’s only so much you can change about the way a show comes together and the way you presented yourself during the course of those six weeks. I felt [season two] of Below Deck: Med was rough — I learned the ropes the hard way, and it wasn’t particularly fun, particularly for a seasoned yacht chef who thought he knew what he was doing after 10 years. Coming back [on season three], I felt I did really well. I didn’t have any issues with the crew, and it was really more about making sure the food was great for the guests. And I proved I was capable of doing that. So coming back, third time’s the charm. There’s always gonna be hiccups, no matter what, but I would say for the most part, the food was great.

What do you think you learned from this season, as someone who has been a yacht chef for so long? When you’re working, you’ve got to remember to just work. That’s the most important thing. I do a pretty darn good job of that this season, considering how many other situations I get myself into. [ Laughs ]

I have to ask: Did you watch the last season of Below Deck: Med ? Yeah, I haven’t seen everything, but I got the gist of it.

What was your take on all the chef drama ? From what I can tell, they’ve had some trouble finding a decent chef on Sandy’s boat — well, and Lee’s boat , so I guess the whole franchise is missing a decent chef at the moment.

Maybe you can be that! On Below Deck: Med you’ve flat-out said, “I know I can be a dick,” basically. Yeah.

Do you think you’re still a dick? I think personality traits don’t just disappear. We’re always gonna have that. I think what I didn’t say was that I also have a pretty tender side, and I can be pretty emotional as well — just rounding out the human personality. I can be a dick when I haven’t slept in 40 days and I’ve got guests yelling down my throat about something I’ve poured my heart and soul into. When that’s not the case, I can be a completely different person.

I do think you bring a sort of wisdom to the show, almost like someone to talk people down or be there to sober up the situation. I feel like having the galley as a place for people to come where they know they can vent a little bit or talk about what’s frustrating them elsewhere, it’s just a very commonplace thing. It’s your kitchen at home: People come, and they talk shit. And that’s basically the exact same thing. It just happens on a boat, and it’s filmed.

Chef Adam Was on TV Long Before His 'Below Deck' Days

Jun. 5 2020, Updated 1:09 p.m. ET

The latest spinoff of Below Deck , called Sailing Yacht , is not for the faint of heart. This new series takes us aboard Parsifal III, a luxury sailing yacht kind of like the ones we're used to on Below Deck and Below Deck Med , except everyone on board now has the added challenge of constantly being at the whim of the wind.

Per the spinoff's official description, "the crew's already difficult job gets tougher" when the sails go up, "as they must contend with maneuvering the sails in high winds and adapting to the steep tilt of the boat, all while troubleshooting the needs of the guests and any issues that may arise."

While everyone's jobs might be a bit more labor-intensive than we're used to seeing on the successful Bravo franchise, no one ever has it harder than the yacht's chef. 

This time around, Chef Adam Glick, a familiar face from Captain Sandy's Below Deck Med seasons in Croatia and Italy, is cooking aboard the sailing yacht. Keep reading for everything you need to know.

Chef Adam has been all over the country since his time on 'Below Deck Med'.

"Between my time off from Below Deck Med and Below Deck Sailing Yacht , I've been able to travel all over the United States," Chef Adam tells The Daily Dish . "I drove across the country five times. I've just been cooking outdoors over a campfire, really kind of dialing in what makes me happy as a chef."

"So coming back this year, I feel refreshed, I feel like my food's on point, and I feel like I'm ready to go," the chef continued. "It's gonna be a great season."

Adam has been a chef on yachts for over 10 years now, but began his education at a four-year university in California and instead pursued a career in culinary arts at The Art Institute of California in San Diego. According to his website , Adam finished with a degree in Culinary Management.

'Below Deck' isn't even his first time on TV! Here's where you've seen him before.

First of all, we have to urge you to follow Chef Adam on Instagram . When he's not cooking for wealthy yacht guests, he photographs the trips he takes with his dog Tex around the country, and let's just say the 35-year-old knows his way around a camera.

But we were excited to learn that before becoming the chef we know and love on Bravo, Adam also competed on a Food Network show, Cutthroat Kitchen , back in 2013. "Chef Glick gets it. Period," reads his Food Network bio. "He understands the hard work and dedication that goes into growing and bringing fresh products to market, which is why he treats each fresh ingredient on his cutting board with respect, allowing it to speak for itself from a flavor and color perspective in any given dish."

"In fact, while he's at sea, Chef Glick is proficient at catching and foraging for the ingredients that he uses to make the next meal on-board," it continues. 

While we haven't quite seen much of his foraging side, we'd welcome the opportunity to watch him fish on Sailing Yacht !

New episodes air Mondays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.

A new Below Deck series is upon us! And that means a whole new Below Deck crew, too. Well, mostly. Viewers will recognize a familiar face in Below Deck Sailing Yacht ‘ s galley, the one and only Chef Adam Glick who spent two seasons on Below Deck Mediterranean . New to the franchise but already making her mark is chief stew Jenna MacGillivray, and Decider caught up with them for lunch at Felice 56 in New York City today to discuss what’s ahead for the new franchise .

Adam and Jenna dish on their fellow crew members, their new captain, and all the adventures ahead on the new series.

Decider: Yay, new franchise!

Adam Glick: Yeah, needed to happen. Fill out the whole year [with Below Deck shows].

How was it being part of a new franchise for you? 

AG: It was great, absolutely epic. First of all, having the opportunity to be able to come back. I think this particular franchise is gonna blow the other ones out of the water, no pun intended. Full pun intended.  Honestly, we are cooler. Everything we’re doing is more badass, it’s harder, it’s more difficult, it’s more challenging. The guests are the same, the level of working is the same, the preferences are the same, the bitchiness, it’s all there. Only it’s like an addition onto what you’ve already seen. Anything that you thought was dramatic and badass before, it’s that on crack.

Jenna, how was the experience for you, was it what you thought it would be?

Jenna MacGillivray: Yeah, I think it exceeded my expectations in terms of the crew. So many of the crew I really got along well with. The captain was great and overall it’s pretty similar to the boats that I’ve worked on before, so I was happy to go back to that. I had just been on a motor yacht and going back to a sailing yacht was great.

Captain Glenn said some very nice things about both of you when I talked to him. Do you guys feel the same, do you like him too?

JM: Oh yeah, love him.

AG: Yeah we love Glenn.

He seems very laid back, especially compared to some of the others.

JM: Yeah, he’s super laid back. But he knows when to get stern, and he’s very safe as a captain but he’s also really lighthearted. And that’s kind of a sailboat mentality, right? You’re still manning a boat that could kill you so you’re serious when the time’s needed, but when not, he’s happy and good.

We see in the first episode that the rest of the boat was a little bit of a shitshow, was the galley a mess too? 

AG: Oh yeah, it was a fucking disaster.  Like really, really bad. 

Did you take a day to get it together?

AG: Oh yeah. I mean, you’re still cleaning days after. You’re like, ‘Ah, still haven’t done the oven.’ There’s so much you have to do and eventually you’re like, ‘Well, I’ll finish this charter, then I’ll do that. And I’ll finish this charter then I’ll do that. And we’re gonna go a whole charter without this today.’ [Pointing to Jenna] She has the same problems, and everyone does, the deck has the same problem. This is such a tight, tight, tight schedule.

We see in the trailer a little bit, there are items flying all over the place: did you get hurt at all?

AG: No, no major injuries.

JM: No, I bashed my leg a couple times but I’m just clumsy.

AG: Let’s just say that the odds of getting hurt are substantially higher. I’ve got knives flying around, I’ve got shit flying around, it could be really dangerous.

JM: There’s more of a sport aspect to it.

AG: Yeah, there’s a moment of sport where you’re pulling lines and this thing’s happening; that doesn’t happen on any of the Below Deck s. It’s just all drama the whole time. Now there’s actually a sport moment, like, ‘Oh this is badass.”

Jenna, the way you introduce yourself to the stews is by saying you don’t want to intimidate and you don’t think that you’re a bitch. Did that change at all over the course of the season in having to manage them?

JM: I never want to intimidate anyone or make them feel bad but I have a certain threshold that can be broken and I felt like that was broken a number of times. I have a job to do and my primary focus at all times is the guests’ satisfaction. So if that’s being met and the guests are happy, I’m happy. And sometimes that comes at the expense of somebody’s feelings and that’s okay. If you have an issue with it I’m always happy to talk about it, but I think my issue is that sometimes during the season, people will prefer to talk behind my back rather than confront me about it. I lose respect for somebody in that. I am a good communicator, I like talking rationally, so if somebody can’t speak to me I feel like that’s on them instead of me.

You do have an epic moment in the trailer where you seem to be in a hot tub and you’re just pouring wine in your mouth. 

AG: The finished look at the camera, she like growled at the camera.

That’s a meme waiting to happen. 

JM: I know, I want them to meme me. But I will say that I like doing little schticks when I’m drunk or not drunk, so that was me playing. But from the trailer I did look pretty drunk. I’m gonna have to see how drunk I actually was.

Adam, was there anything you swore to yourself that you would do differently this time?

AG: Yeah, a million things.

And did you do them differently?

AG: No, I never do. I think I’ve learned my lesson. No regrets. You do what you do normally and just kind of hope for the best, honestly. No one’s perfect and we all have faults and we all do things but guess what, none of you were recorded when you were doing it. So, welcome to my life.

Any romance that we’ll see this season? 

JM: I’ve heard a rumor that some people on the crew dabble and we’ll have to wait and see who that is.

How about Ciara and Paget’s relationship, did any of their drama get into the interior as well? 

JM: They were good. They’re pretty mature. I would call them my friends.

AG: Yeah, they’re some of the cast members that I would still communicate with, go out to dinner with. Ciara for her age, she acts like she’s 35.

JM: I always joke that she’s twelve but she’s very mature. She’s awesome.

That probably helps the two of them in their relationship.

AG: It does, yeah. It’s amazing that she’s so responsible and they’re very loyal to each other.

JM: They’re just good people in general. Like, really good people.

AG: However, they do bicker like, incessantly.

JM: Oh yeah, and a couple times that that happens, it’s the best thing ever to watch. I love it. I’m like, “Go Ciara!”

Jenna, how long did it take for you to learn to manage the other stews, Madison and Georgia?

JM: I like to be a little bit hands-off because I’m not working with 15-year-olds, they are supposed to have some experience. I don’t want to be a micromanager so I left them to their devices in the beginning and then pretty soon after you see some things that are not going super well. So it really did take me quite a while to achieve some of my personal goals of having them actually learn things and be passionate about it and I think that’s in general about yachting. People that don’t have passion for the actual job shouldn’t be there and that happens a lot and that’s difficult.

Can you manage Madison with candy? Some people can be pretty motivated by sweets and she seems to be one of them.

JM: I’m actually unclear as to what Madison’s motivations are.

Adam, in the trailer you say that you’re the same grumpy, dickhead, asshole: are you? 

AG: I just want viewers to know that when I’m working I’m a very different person. I think we all are. We all take on a different role and particularly in a sailing yacht, chartered, with cameras, I mean fucking business. I like things run my way. Until it’s crew night out, then I’ll start smiling, I’ll have fun. I have that ability but don’t fuck with me during the charter.

JM: I think you might have smiled a few times in the galley throughout the whole season.

AG: Yeah, I was smiling, I was laughing, I was having fun.

JM: You sang to yourself.

AG: I would sing every now and then. The point is you’re gonna see a lot of it because I’m working and that’s the key difference that I wanna drive home to viewers: that’s me in the highest stress of my life. Just prepping people for what they’re gonna see. Remember that because I’m not walking down the street with my dog, enjoying the day. Like, that’s as bad as I get.

How is Tex, good?

AG: He’s amazing. He’s with my parents right now.

But I think from like a cooking standpoint, all my food was spot on. She and I work like bread and butter. Nothing like Hannah, night and day. She and I worked great together and it shows in my food, it shows in my presence in front of the guests. No real crew drama other than the typical chef saying, “Get the fuck out of my galley!”

You are good at that.  How about the guest requests, did they want a lot of Greek food?

AG: Yeah, we had a Greek night almost every charter. Maybe every other one. It was very popular so my Greek food got dialed in pretty good. I didn’t mind it, it’s not my specialty but pulled it off. We would do huge spreads, whole tables, it was pretty fun.

JM: You did well.

Were there theme parties too?

JM: Yeah. I love theme parties, too. Corfu was a little bit difficult to get supplies but yeah, I can’t even remember all them but we had quite a few, and they were good for the most part.

And beach excursion things too? A lot of those?

JM: Yeah, which are my least favorite. Which you’ll hear about because I bitch and complain about it.

All three ladies from the interior department were in one cabin. How was that?

JM: Um, hell.

AG: She would talk about that every day.

JM: I was really pissed off. Typically as a Chief Stew when there’s all new crew joining, I would be responsible to say who’s in what cabin. But because we have Ciara and Paget who were already on the boat and it was like their little home and when I came on, it was like, this is what’s happening. So it was predetermined and that was a little bit, I guess beyond my control at the time. I didn’t want to step on any toes and you want to respect people that have been there, but I definitely tried to change cabins at one point but it was difficult. Also, Glenn has a cabin with Byron, he doesn’t have his own cabin.

Adam, I’m guessing this was a nice change with Glenn versus what you were used to with Sandy?

AG: For me, yes. I loved it, I loved working for Glenn. Listen, I love Sandy. She’s awesome, she’s an awesome person. I don’t like working for her. Glenn on the other hand, didn’t give a fuck what I did. He could care less. He just knew that the guests were happy, that’s all that mattered.

We see that Paget and Ciara have the pictures of themselves up in the boat, did you guys want to put pictures of yourselves on the wall too? 

JM: No. I didn’t care. I was too busy to think about pictures.

Did Kate Chastain give you any advice at all during the journey? 

JM: I don’t think she gave me any advice. I’m not a person who ever likes advice and I think that she is probably similar to me in the way that we’re both type A personalities and she would just know I’d probably hate that. I would assume that she has that common sense to know that, and vice versa. I’ve asked her for a couple tips but yeah, she’s just been a support, so that’s nice.

Anything else that you guys are looking forward to people seeing this?

AG: Basically everything that you’ve seen on previous Below Deck shows you’re gonna see again in our show all bottled up into one with adventure — which is something that none of the other ones have.

JM: One thing that’s my favorite part is I feel like we have such a cool, sarcastic, witty banter with most of the crew.

AG: Our crew are, they’re smart, they’re witty, they’re not like dumb, well a couple of them are but for the most part we talk and we joke. I think you’re gonna see it in the end product because these are real people talking about real things.

JM: It’s that camaraderie and I think that’s part of sailing too. I feel like there were certain people who fit into that and certain people who did not fit into that and they suffer as a result.

Are we gonna learn if Parker is still breastfed by his mother?

JM: Oh yeah, you will find out.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs Monday at 9pm ET/PT on Bravo.

What Adam From Below Deck Mediterranean Is Doing Now

Chef Adam Glick from Below Deck

Below Deck Mediterranean 's Adam Glick became an instantaneous fan favorite during his initial two stints  on the show thanks to his uniquely rugged and tattoo-covered look, willingness to get involved in the onboard fray, and (naturally) his drama-filled love triangle with two other cast mates. The self-professed " Adventure Chef " wasn't necessarily made for a life out at sea, especially with his every move being captured by Bravo cameras, but Adam is well-suited for nomadic living . In fact, he's so untethered to the regular world he doesn't live in a traditional home, instead choosing the vagabond lifestyle that better suits his insatiable desire to be out on the road at all times.

Since his initial introduction to Below Deck viewers, Adam has continued to live by his own rules, remaining true to his brand while simultaneously forging a path back to Bravo for another wild voyage that surpassed both of his previous trips. Although he's not as fame-hungry as some of his contemporaries, Adam expertly utilizes the spotlight to his advantage so he can continue to spread the good word about cooking, living, and loving freely. After all, they don't call him the Adventure Chef for nothing.

Adam became a brand ambassador after starring on Below Deck Mediterranean

Adam Glick isn't the kind of guy who could imagine shilling detox teas or mail-order mattresses. When it came to endorse a product, the chef not only chose a food, but a food he loves and eats frequently. As the Below Deck Mediterranean star explained to Heavy , he was contacted by Jazz Apples after having worked with them on recipes in the past.

"We like to think Jazz Apples are the adventure apple, so it was like a match made in heaven ...," he opined. Adam embarked on an 11-day road trip around New York to promote said apples, during which he conducted cooking demonstrations, met fans eager, and discussed why he chose Jazz or, as he likes to call the label, "Adam's apple."

As he explained, "I genuinely believe that you need to endorse products that you trust and that you love. When I, as a chef, eat apples , which I do, you need one that's versatile and that's tasty. The Jazz apple pulls together all of those elements." Adam elaborated on the partnership in an interview with Athleisure magazine, hilariously describing a Jazz Apple as one that "you would take a picture with on the side of the cliff."

Below Deck Mediterranean's Adam lives on the road

While most people would think living in a van to be a bad situation, that's not the case for Adam Glick. In fact, it was 100 percent his choice to live in his vehicle. As he deadpanned to Decider , "It's a nice van, if that counts for anything." Adam posts almost as many photos of his Quigley van on Instagram as he does of his adorable pet.

In 2018, Adam  revealed  that he once "lived in the back of a pickup truck" and "[spent] ten years traveling on yachts." He continued, "Believe it or not I actually sleep better in confined spaces because of it." Inside, his home-on-wheels does look pretty sweet , particularly after the extensive renovations undertaken by Adam and his father.

Cooking meals in the van isn't an issue for someone used to the tightness of a yacht kitchen, as Adam told Heavy . And, if he ever feels constricted by the space, the Below Deck Mediterranean star just rolls up to the old mechanic shop he shares with a friend in North Hollywood, where the two have built their own "Fantasy Factory," equipped with a basketball court, skate ramp, and plenty more besides, Adam detailed to Decider.

Below Deck Mediterranean's Adam took his love of cooking outdoors

It didn't take long for  Below Deck Mediterranean 's Adam Glick to take his love of cooking to the great outdoors. Fans can watch his series  Stoked   on Outside TV, where you can see the chef whip up al fresco meals while also touring the country. Each episode typically finds Adam partaking in some kind of adventurous activity wherever his van has taken him and expertly preparing a tasty meal for the locals using just a campfire. The show even led to a partnership with Messermeister, which includes a whole range of Adventure Chef knives ideal for cooking outside.

Season 2 of Stoked kicked off in early 2020, proving there's a huge demand for Adam's rough-and-ready content. Instagram followers can even try to guess where he is on any given day thanks to his " Van Door " Stories, which sees the chef opening up the door of his van to showcase a spectacular view. As Adam explained to Heavy , the allure for him is paring everything back to the essentials. "I realized I had all these big, expensive pans and fancy equipment, but you don't need any of that stuff to make good food," he argued.

Adam rescued his BFF after returning home from Below Deck Mediterranean

Adam Glick's BFF is his dog, Tex, who bunks with him and is a major component of everything the chef does. According to his Instagram Stories, the chef actually rescued the dog from the streets in May 2018 after returning from Below Deck Mediterranean and the two have been inseparable ever since. Although Tex is a loyal companion on the road, unfortunately he can't accompany Adam while he's out at sea. When he took a job in Turks and Caicos, for example, his beloved pooch had to stay home. The distance clearly affects the chef as he posted , "Happy to say I'll be back on the adventure with my boy Tex in just two more weeks. And I absolutely cannot wait, I miss him so much!" He'd previously shared how sad Tex was to see him go, too.

Adam subsequently shared an Instagram Story (via CheatSheet ) of his plane landing in San Francisco, writing "home sweet home" alongside the post. The clip finishes with footage of Tex excitedly dashing out to greet his dad when he sees the chef appearing in the driveway. The Below Deck Mediterranean star can't even take a photo of Tex because the dog is so excited.

Below Deck Mediterranean's Adam traversed the country multiple times

When the question was raised concerning whether Adam Glick would return to Below Deck, after appearing in seasons 2 and 3 of Mediterranean , the Adventure Chef may have sounded a bit hesitant. After all, he'd spent the intervening time traversing the U.S. with doggie Tex in tow, getting down to the nitty gritty with his campfire cooking while also indulging in the kinds of outdoor activities that originally gave him his nickname. "I drove across the country five times," he recalled to Bravo's Daily Dish , explaining that, in doing so, he'd been "dialing in what makes me happy as a chef."

Rather than it putting him off heading back out to sea, however, Adam felt "refreshed." He continued, saying, "I feel like my food's on point, and I feel like I'm ready to go." Although he belongs on the open road with Tex and his van, Adam acknowledged that eventually he had to return to the real world. "At some point, you need to go socialize a little bit more, maybe challenge yourself a little bit more," he said, admitting that when finally he got the call to come back, it was a no-brainer.

Adam returned to the Below Deck fold

Adam Glick made his triumphant return to Below Deck aboard the Parsifal III as he joined the ranks of the spinoff show Sailing Yacht . In an interview with Vulture , he explained that it was simply the right time for him to come back. "To be candid with you, when Bravo calls you up and says, 'Hey, you wanna do another series?' you say yes. That's the reality of the situation," he admitted, noting that after spending so long traveling the country in his van, he liked the prospect of "[cruising] out to Greece for six weeks" before ultimately hitting the road again.

The Adventure Chef acknowledged that his Season 2 run on Below Deck Mediterranean was hard because he was still getting used to everything, which was destabilizing for someone who'd already been in the business for a decade and figured he already knew his way around a kitchen.

Adam felt he'd be better equipped for Below Deck  Sailing Yacht.  "Third time's the charm," he said. As for what he learned about cooking on a sailboat , Adam noted, "When you're working, you've got to remember to just work. That's the most important thing."

Adam found love again after Below Deck Mediterranean

When speaking to Vulture about Below Deck Sailing Yacht,  Adam Glick hinted at the "many other situations" he got himself into during filming. One of those "situations" had to do with Adam's onscreen dalliance with chief stew Jenna Macgillivray. It was a surprising turn of events for several reasons, chief among them how the chef had already expressed his unwillingness to get involved with someone in the crew again after his love triangle with Malia White and Wes Walton  Below Deck Mediterranean.

"Adam goes through a lot in this season, mostly because of me," Jenna said of Below Deck Sailing yacht when speaking to  Showbiz CheatSheet , noting he showed a real "vulnerability." During a May 2020 appearance on Watch What Happens Live @ Home with Andy Cohen (via Bravo's Daily Dish ), though, Adam confirmed their relationship hadn't survived on land.

However, they keep in contact with each other, with the chef confirming to Cohen, "Yes, in fact, we were just speaking earlier today." Jenna told CheatSheet, for her part, that there would always be feelings there but the relationship is complicated.

This is Adam's favorite chief stew from his time on Below Deck

Playing favorites isn't usually a good idea, particularly in a professional environment, like when you're stuck in close quarters out at sea. But Adam Glick isn't afraid of anything  — he is the Adventure Chef after all. When it came time to name his favorite chief stew, Adam didn't hesitate.

"Working with Hannah [Ferrier] and working with Jenna [Macgillivray] is like night and day," he began, during an episode of Below Deck   Sailing Yacht (via Decider ). "Hannah was a cold, long, dark night. Jenna is like a beautiful morning with sun and chirping birds and spring flowers. Night and day!"

Adam and Jenna, who subsequently became involved romantically, clearly hit it off from the outset. In an interview with Bravo's Daily Dish   ahead of the season, they showcased how alike they are. Adam argued he didn't have any advice for Below Deck staff newcomers because they wouldn't listen anyway while Jenna confirmed she wouldn't listen herself. Adam then acknowledged, "Some of us had to learn that the hard way. Or I still haven't learned, actually."

Adam rocked the boat by badmouthing Captain Sandy of Below Deck Mediterranean

Below Deck Mediterranean fans will know you don't mess with the beloved Captain Sandy . And yet Adam Glick did just that when he compared her unfavorably to Captain Glenn (the captain under whom he served on Sailing Yacht). In an interview with Vulture ,  he recalled, "When I first met Glenn, I found him to be a bit of a softie. Not that kind of hard-a** 'I'm the captain.'" The chef then went on to argue that "Captain Sandy was a true micromanager compared to Glenn" and he didn't have to "[look] over [his] shoulder" as much with Glenn.

He doubled down on those comments while appearing on the show, telling producers (via Bravo ), "I was perpetually under the microscope with Sandy. So it feels really good to be working with someone that actually trusts the crew."

Captain Sandy, when prompted by a fan on Twitter , admitted she wasn't impressed by Adam's comments, writing that she "was sad to hear that from Adam." She continued, writing, "Hope he learned from his BDM experience and brought something special to [ Below Deck Sailing Yacht ]," she opined.

Below Deck Mediterranean's Adam may be done with the boat life for good

Although Adam Glick was happy to return to the open seas as a crew-member on Below Deck Sailing Yacht, the Adventure Chef isn't convinced the yachting life is for him. Still, he's grateful for the opportunity to grow as a person. While appearing on Watch What Happens Live @ Home with Andy Cohen, he admitted it's very difficult at times but that, ultimately, seeing himself "play out on television for three-plus years has been a rewarding experience." He added, "It's still nice to see yourself and sort of reflect on who you are and how you treat people."

However, Adam acknowledged he isn't usually so hot-tempered in real life situations and therefore wonders whether the yacht life is necessarily the right path for him. In fact, he admitted with a laugh, "I think that the learned lesson for me, in the long run here, is that after 12 years living and working on the open ocean, I'm f***ing over it." For the perpetually chilled-out chef, he said, "I'm ready to have a ranch. I'm ready to live my life on land and grow a beautiful garden."

Here’s What the Cast of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Is Currently Up to Now

Are Jenna and Adam still together?

below deck sailing yacht   season 1

From a spontaneous proposal failing spectacularly to a joke about being breastfed as an adult, Sailing Yacht was as much a dramatic success as the other franchises. It also left fans wondering about what's happening to the crew since the show wrapped. Did chief stew Jenna and chef Adam stay together? What's going on with Georgia's music? And most important—is Captain Glenn really as cool as we think he is?

Here's what the cast of Below Deck: Sailing Yacht is up to now:

Jenna MacGillivray

When the Canadian stepped onto the Parsifal III, fans got exactly what they hoped for in a chief stew—a no-nonsense leader who also had a romantic spot in her heart for the chef in the galley. Though her relationship with Adam Glick proved to be tumultuous, the two dated for some time after the season wrapped, even taking some time to road-trip together.

These days, Jenna is enjoying some time off from yachting, but given her recent IG pics, she's excited to come back to another charter season.

Madison Stalker

Wherever Madison went, drama always seemed to follow the second stew during season one of Below Deck: Sailing Yacht . In between epic meltdowns (including a major one between her and Jenna over her lack of enthusiasm for her job), she left the boat a better person and leaving fans ready to see more from their new favorite cast member.

Judging by her Instagram account, she's taken a break from yachting (perhaps until next season of the show).

Georgia Grobler

As good of a third stew Georgia was on deck, fans were more invested in her budding music career and growing feelings for a very taken Paget. She proved she was great at her job and could make a career out of yachting.

While it's unclear whether she stayed in the yachting industry post- Sailing Yacht , Georgia's working on music, premiering new music videos on IGTV during the quarantine.

Below Deck Med fans were so excited when Adam joined the crew as the chef for Sailing Yacht . While he abided by the preference sheets this time around, he also began a rocky romance with chief stew Jenna, making most of the crew members wonder if he was there for his job or the girl.

Since the show wrapped, Adam's busy onshore, cooking, and traveling with his adorable puppy. Oh, and Adam has a web series, Stoked , where he travels across the country to meet with local chefs and learn about their regions... all while over a campfire.

Paget Berry and Ciara Duggan

If there was any couple to root for from the entire Below Deck franchise, it's Paget and Ciara. The duo made a great team on deck, and mostly kept their relationship to a minimum on cameras—a first for Bravo! As they were the most familiar with the Parsifal III, the couple was the most reliable, and fans loved seeing their relationship continue blossoming post-filming.

These days, the couple has a lot to be excited about—they're now engaged. While they're soaking up their romantic bliss, they're also still working in yachting, although it's sadly on separate boats.

Byron Hissey

As the chief engineer of Parsifal III, Byron was clearly there to just do his job. But, given how he was the only cast member to have a wife and child back home, he also became the dad of the group, taking care of the other crew members.

Since filming wrapped, it looks like Byron is back on a boat doing exactly what he does best—fixing and making sure the engines run smoothly.

Parker McCown

Relatively new to the yachting industry, fans are more likely to remember the deckhand for his enraged rant about being breastfed by his mother. While he didn't necessarily have all the skills to make it as a deckhand, he definitely had a soft spot for his ex-girlfriend Kaiti, whom he eventually left Parsifal III to go back to at home.

It looks like the decision to leave the show worked out for Parker, as he's now engaged to Kaiti and writing some tunes while onshore.

Chris Miller

As Parker's replacement for the latter half of the season, Chris proved a great deckhand and an asset to the team, all while battling an injury.

These days, Chris seems to be taking some time off from yachting to travel across Europe.

Captain Glenn Sheppard

Captain Glenn was tough, fair, and not afraid to have a good time, which both crew and guests very much appreciated.

Thankfully, his reality TV experience hasn't turned him off yachting forever. Glenn is still the captain for Parsifal III and traveling through the Mediterranean.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht's Jenna Reveals Where She Stands with Adam Following the Reunion

These off-camera moments will have you looking at Jenna MacGillivray and Adam Glick's relationship in a whole new way.

below deck yacht adam

It was clear how much Jenna MacGillivray and Adam Glick cared about each other this season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht . However, the couple wasn't always feeling the love from their fellow Parsifal III crew members, whether it was Madison Stalker expressing her disapproval of Jenna and Adam's PDA in the communal crew quarters or Captain Glenn Shephard confronting the chief stew about her interactions with the chef.

How to Watch

Watch Below Deck Sailing Yacht on Peacock and the Bravo app . 

However, Jenna is standing by her actions with Adam this season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht . "There's definitely a misconception about how often we were engaged in PDA when other people were around that just people weren't around for it, and it wasn't excessive by any means," she explained in our new video series, The Final Word , which you can view, above. "I would go in in the morning and give him a kiss, and no one was there. Or I'd be doing whatever in the galley or the crew mess, he'd come over and give me a hug. Like I said on the reunion, that was when I was finished with my shift. Some people have a problem with that, I get it, but I'm also not working."

Jenna added, "The second I felt happy and excited to find somebody that I really connected with, every force was coming at us to try and tear that down, and that was heartbreaking for me."

There were other loving moments between the couple that they shared off-camera during the charter season, such as when Adam left a love note wrapped with a piece of sea glass on Jenna's bed that read, "Here's to what feels like a lifetime of combing beaches in search of the perfect piece of sea glass. That's you." 

We Have a Major Update on Adam Glick and Jenna MacGillivray's Relationship

This is a moment that Jenna and Adam both still cherish. "You know, we actually talked about this a couple weeks ago," Jenna recalled in The Final Word . "He was like, 'You know, I really meant it when I did that. I had those passionate feelings.'"

As much as Jenna and Adam were able to sneak in some romance during the hectic charter season, the couple experienced some tense moments as well, sometimes within the same day . Jenna agreed that her relationship with Adam could be hot and cold at times this season. "Those walls that he talked about, that's real," Jenna said. "He'll look for any kind of way to put up another wall so that he can escape intimacy and a natural connection with somebody. That's what I believe, anyway." 

Though it wasn't always clear what the future held for Jenna and Adam during the charter season, the two did spend a lot of time getting to know each other off the boat. Not only did they go on a road trip in Greece after the season ended, but they also drove across the country together, spending time with Adam's family and in Jenna's hometown in Canada before celebrating Christmas, which we learned during the reunion on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen: @ Home on June 1.

below deck yacht adam

Jenna opened up more about what went on during her travels with Adam after the charter season ended, including one particularly "crazy" moment, in The Final Word , which you can check out, above. "We had lots of really peaceful, nice moments, too," she said. "Like, lots of adventures wherever we went."

Adam previously confirmed during his appearance on WWHL: @ Home on May 4 that he and Jenna are no longer together , although they keep in touch. But during that same episode, he also said that they were still trying to figure things out. "This whole situation, this whole show has been particularly difficult for us... for pretty obvious reasons," Adam said of his relationship status with Jenna during the  Below Deck Sailing Yacht reunion.

When Andy Cohen asked Adam at the reunion whether he and Jenna would ever get back together someday, the chef replied, "Well, to be 100 percent honest, I don't think that's any of you guys' business."

Jenna is similarly keeping whatever lies ahead for her and Adam a bit more private these days, although it doesn't sound like she's ruling anything out. "We have a lot of history, so I'd always be open to a road trip again. We'll see how it goes. But like he said on the reunion, there's a lot of complicated factors," she shared in The Final Word . "For me, personally, I'm just focused on myself right now and my own happiness, and that's all that matters to me in this current moment."

Why Jill Zarin Is Defending Her Controversial Below Deck Appearance

After jill zarin made waves on below deck season 11 with her over-the-top demands, the real housewives of new york city alum is speaking out in response to fan backlash..

Jill Zarin has no regrets about rocking the boat on Below Deck .

In fact, after The Real Housewives of New York City alum made waves with some over-the-top demands during an appearance on season 11 of the Bravo series, Jill called her time aboard the St. David  "amazing," despite receiving some criticism from viewers.

"Honestly, my fans, they know me and it's all good," the 60-year-old exclusively told E! News. "What was great is that the crew on the show actually came out in my defense and said Jill was amazing and she wasn't demanding and it was a lot of tricky editing. Everything I said was true."

During her voyage, Jill put the Below Deck yachties to the test by requesting special ice for her soda, criticizing how the bathrooms were stocked, sending back cold food and suggesting the crew install a button at the dining table for the guests to beckon them with any requests they might have.

After the episode aired, Stew Barbie Pascal defended Jill's behavior despite previously calling the Housewife "extremely demanding" during a confessional.

"I watched the show back, and I don't think that Jill was as bad as it looked," Barbie said in an April 2 Instagram Story video. "And I just wanna also say that there were so many other moments where she was super fun and sweet and nice."

Meanwhile, Jill is about to set sail on another new reality TV venture: She'll be competing against other celebrities in the hopes of winning $200,000 on Amazon Freevee's new competition series The GOAT .

"I don't think I was smart enough to understand the game at all," Jill admitted to E! on her time on the show. "I took a while. I think I got halfway through when I realized I needed a strategy, which I did figure out. But I was just having so much fun being in this house with these people, making new friends. I didn't even think of it as a competition."

Don't miss Jill on The GOAT , which premieres May 9 on Amazon Freevee. And keep reading to see where she lands on E!'s official ranking of every Real Housewife ever.

Bravo's ill-fated attempt at highlighting our nation's capital brought together four women so forgettable you'd be forgiven for erasing them from your memory—though their names are  Mary Amons , Lynda Erkiletian , Cat Ommanney  and Stacie Scott Turner— and one so desperate for fame that she gate-crashed a party at the White House. More on her later.

Once upon a time, DeShawn starred on the same TV show as NeNe Leakes . Surprising, we know.

148. Elizabeth Lyn Vargas, The Real Housewives of Orange County

This one-season Housewife brought nothing to the Orange County table.

147. Jennie Nguyen, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City

Utah's newest season two Housewife  went out with a bang (and not in a good way). In January 2022, Jennie was fired after "offensive" and racially insensitive old Facebook posts resurfaced online. Jennie later apologized  but the damage was done.

146. Quinn Fry, The Real Housewives of Orange County

Her defining trait was "cougar."

145. Jen Armstrong, The Real Housewives of Orange County

The Orange County doctor was never a source of drama during season 16 and her brief marriage troubles with eternally shirtless husband Ryne (or Ryan?) were less than riveting. However, we will never forget Dr. Jen getting absolutely wasted on wine during the Dubrows' insanely awkward—yet wildly entertaining—dinner party.

144: Annemarie Wiley, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

The nurse anesthetist's flop first season can be summed up in one cringe-worthy word we hope we never hear again: Esophagus-gate . 

143. Katie Rost, The Real Housewives of Potomac

Katie loved to talk about her charity work, but...didn't do much else on screen. She was one and done, only to come back and not contribute much as a friend. Leaving the cast trip early? A Housewives no-no.

142. Charrisse Jackson Jordan, The Real Housewives of Potomac

Her marriage problems were on full display the two seasons she was a full-time Housewife...that and her champagne room are the two memorable things about Charrisse.

141. Shamari DeVoe, The Real Housewives of Atlanta

A one-and-done Housewife, Shamari was at least fun?

140. Peggy Sulahian, The Real Housewives of Orange County

While it was nice to see some diversity in the lily-white O.C., Peggy ultimately proved to be a frustrating presence in season 12. The fights she chose to pick were bizarre, and often involving someone using a word she simply didn't understand, and her decision to simply hide out in her room for an entire day during the trip to Iceland proved that she wasn't really cut out for this Real Housewives life.

139. Nneka Ihim, The Real Housewives of Potomac

Instead of bonding with fellow Nigerian costar Wendy Osefo during season eight, Nneka's first season storyline centered entirely around her allegedly accusing Wendy's mom of being a witch (yes, seriously). We wish we could have seen the two bond over their shared culture rather than fighting with no resolve.

138. Noella Bergener, The Real Housewives of Orange County

Noella spun through season 16 like a tornado of frantic energy. While her personal struggles were somewhat compelling (her husband James up and left the country and asked for a divorce right before filming started), it was her constant drama with queen bee Heather Dubrow that helped her not land completely at the bottom of the list. Maybe with more time and another season, we'll warm up to Mrs. Bergener.

137. Siggy Flicker, The Real Housewives of New Jersey

From peacekeeper in her first season to unrelenting complaints about a thrown cake and unfounded claims of anti-Semitism in her second (and last) season, we're not sure we've ever seen a quicker Real Housewives fall from grace than this one.

136. Eva Marcille, RHOA

The America's Next Top Model veteran picked up a peach for seasons 11 and 12, but never really made an impression in the world of RHOA,  aside from being pregnant for what felt like her entire tenure. Points for that epic read of Marlo Hampton while in Tokyo, though.

135. Karent Sierra, The Real Housewives of Miami

All we remember about Karent is that she was a dentist and none of her co-stars seemed to like her at all. Next!

134. Cristy Rice, The Real Housewives of Miami

This was a real person with a show on Bravo. We promise.

133. Jules Wainstein, The Real Housewives of New York City

As one of  RHONY 's more recent one-and-dones, Jules' tenure was too brief to rank any higher. However, she sure did deliver her fair share of drama. 

131-132. Teresa Aprea and Nicole Napolitano, RHONJ

So unnecessary they couldn't even get individual taglines.

130. Amber Marchese, RHONJ

Everything Amber and her husband Jim did seemed to reek of desperation. Plus, he was involved in more of the drama than she was. Not a good look.

129. Nina Ali, The Real Housewives of Dubai

Much like co-star Sara Al Madani, Nina exemplified a multidimensional, successful Arab woman who is blending modern life with centuries-old cultural traditions. She avoided most of the season one drama and was sometimes overshadowed by her co-stars' bigger, louder personalities.

128. Sara Al Madani, The Real Housewives of Dubai

Sara's positive, enlightened outlook on life was certainly pleasant, but didn't provide for much drama (besides that one time she offered co-star Caroline Brooks some not-so-well received parenting advice ). However, the tech entrepreneur shattered stereotypes of what it means to be a modern Muslim woman in the Middle East and for that we applaud her. 

126-127. Rachel Fuda & Danielle Cabral, The Real Housewives of New Jersey

RHONJ 's season 13 newbies certainly fit the mold of your typical Garden State Housewife and quickly found themselves in a season-long fight over literally nothing that Andy Cohen deemed pointless at the reunion. We'd love to see both return for season 14 for a chance to move up even higher on the list after an entertaining first go-around.

125. Larsa Pippen, The Real Housewives of Miami

Larsa didn't make a big impression on season one before leaving the series. When Peacock revived RHOM for season four in 2021, her whole storyline was about being the ex-BFF of Kim Kardashian . (and selling sexy feet pics on OnlyFans...)

124. Ana Quincoces, The Real Housewives of Miami

Ana followed up her one season as a Bravolebrity by competing on season 12 of Next Food Network Star in 2016. She didn't make it there, either.

123. Joyce Giraud de Ohoven, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Unfortunately, she was nothing more than a punching bag for Brandi Glanville . Plus, her tagline celebrating the icky notion that you can never be too skinny was gross.

122. Cindy Barshop, The Real Housewives of New York City

Cindy was supposed to be the new Bethenny Frankel . Cindy was no Bethenny Frankel.

121. Caroline Brooks, The Real Housewives of Dubai

Brooks' gift to season one of RHODubai was a cameo from Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Phaedra Parks, who popped up on one episode to get all the tea on the co-stars' drama. However, Brooks did cause a lot of unnecessary drama during season one (much of which occurred while she was a little too tipsy).

Meet ‘King Benji,’ a 154-Foot Explorer Yacht With a Kaleidoscopic Crow’s Nest

There's a also 40-foot tender that hits 80 mph, a sit-around teppanyaki grill, and ornate staterooms., julia zaltzman, julia zaltzman's most recent stories.

Superyacht 'King Benji'

Entrepreneur Josh Golder may have owned 13 production boats in his lifetime, but the 154-foot King Benji is his first full custom new build. Determined to get it right, he spent five years planning and $45 million building his Dunya explorer. He engaged Gregory C. Marshall for the exterior and British studio Design Unlimited for the interior. His brief was simple—to build a yacht that facilitates the same five-star experience off the boat that guests are guaranteed on board.

His first boat was an 84-foot Azimut that he bought in 2009. “In the first year, I was probably on board 270 days or more. I just love being on the water,” Golder tells Robb Report . In the following years, he experimented with RIBs, speedboats, and flat-hulled party boats. “I just became obsessed with every style.”

With King Benji , Golder has created an explorer platform kitted out with a 20,000-pound capacity crane, four 300 hp Jet Skis, and a 40-foot Nor-Tech tender, his favorite brand of speedboat (and the seventh that he’s owned.) He made the decision to put King Benji on the charter market partway through the build, which led him to swap out the planned gym and steam room for two additional guest cabins, bringing the total to five.

A hatred for televisions and white fiberglass dictated other design decisions, from the split plunge pool on the owner’s deck that had to be tiled to the hidden television screens in every room. Massive opening panoramic glass doors—with no sills—was another non-negotiable. “That four-inch lip you get on production boats used to really annoy me,” he says, which also shows how fastidious he was with the design.

King Benji was delivered in March and headed straight to the MYBA charter show in Genoa. In the coming weeks, Golder will cruise Croatia, Montenegro and Albania. He also has Alaska in his sights.

Here are 10 cool features about the newest explorer on the charter market.

Canine Credits

Golder loves his dog so much that he named the boat after him. Just under the KBG on the stern is an illustration of a dog. No special provisions have been made for the King, however, since he only joins the yacht for short trips. Golder’s 4-month-old son is also named after Benji. “I thought, if my son grows up with a few dollars to his name, then there is nothing more humbling than being named after a dog,” he says.

Hot and Cold Running Water

below deck yacht adam

When stepping out onto the private owner’s foredeck, all eyes are on the custom tub by Headhunter, which is both a cold 39-degree Fahrenheit plunge pool and a roasting 140-degree Jacuzzi. The central divider means guests can enjoy hot and cold or remove the divider to enjoy just a more tepid soak. This feat of engineering is included in another onboard pool system, which empties, fills, and heats independently.

Best Seat on Board

below deck yacht adam

The crow’s nest—or observation pod—is one of owner Golder’s favorite features. “It was an area that I feel is often overlooked, and therefore had to be done.” The enclosed space lets guests sink into sofas and admire the 360-degree views. Bright prints from Osborn & Little add color, while a fridge provides cold drinks.

Visual Intelligence

below deck yacht adam

When Golder asked Design Unlimited for “photo-quality concept renderings” to help with his visual decision making, the brand responded with 15 unique schemes based on landmark interiors. They ranged from a Medellín apartment with a polished concrete floor to a Costa Rican treehouse. Golder eventually settled on a combination of 1 Hotel South Beach in Miami and a restaurant in North Miami called Chica. “I don’t like the headache of expensive art, so instead of artworks on the wall, the walls became the artwork,” he says.

Open Communications

One of the more unusual features is the sizable open galley. It’s split in two, with a service area and pantry on one side and a dining area with a breakfast bar and large picture window on the other. An open hatch to the galley puts the chef on full display with freshly prepared food laid out on the divider. In addition to the yacht’s formal dining arrangement, the bridge is also “yacht quality” in case guests want to eat in the wheelhouse.

Tapping into Teppanyaki

below deck yacht adam

Oversized sun lounges on the bridge deck aft double as clever storage for the inflatable slide and climbing wall. The biggest crowd pleaser on this level, though, is the six-seat teppanyaki bar for an immersive outdoor cooking experience. Clad in bamboo and topped with Turkish marble, it also includes a TV screen that is hidden behind a gnarled wood panel.

Master Mariner

below deck yacht adam

The dedicated owner’s deck enjoys a private lounge with a William Garvey games table, black-crocodile-print leather floor tiles and a bamboo ceiling. The California king bed with an extra-deep mattress was a special owner’s request. It’s paired with a live-edge timber headboard and mirrored kickback boards to give the illusion that the bed is floating. Jungle-themed Tecnografica wallpaper brings the outdoors in, as does the supersized, color-changing rainshower that doubles as a steam room.

Picture Perfect

below deck yacht adam

The four guest cabins each cost around $370,000 to outfit. They’re differentiated by color and underwater themes reflected in their names and bespoke wallpaper—Adam Ellis gold-leaf prints in the triggerfish cabin and coral wallpaper by Pierre Frey in the twins. They also have the largest panoramic guest cabin windows on any boat under 500 gross tons.

Fast Tender

below deck yacht adam

A large tender that facilitates fun away from the yacht was a must for Golder. “I love my Nor-Tech as it’s an extremely fast boat with a stable hull,” he says. The 400 Supersport center console reaches speeds of up to 80 mph and can cover around 150 miles a day. It has a fully enclosed bathroom and spacious seating. “I didn’t want the yacht’s only tender to be a glorified lifeboat,” he adds.

Step by Step

The central stairwell runs across the yacht’s three decks, doubling as a feature wall. Glass balustrades, open treads, and brass strips that reflect light are set against a backdrop of reclaimed eucalyptus wood tiles.

Model-boat sailing returns to central park.

I tried operating a boat on Conservatory Water, the pond famous for model boating. It’s harder than it looks.

James Barron

By James Barron

Good morning. It’s Wednesday. We’ll look at the return of model boating in Central Park for the first time since the pandemic. We’ll also get details of the penalty that Donald Trump was ordered to pay for breaking the gag order in his criminal trial .

A woman and two boys watch model boats on Central Park’s Conservatory Water.

And then I crashed the boat.

It wasn’t my fault. Really, it wasn’t. A puff of wind came out of nowhere and drove the boat into the stone wall I had been steering it toward. Gently. Smoothly.

The vessel I was captaining was not a cruiser with an engine whirring below deck — it had no engine at all. Mine was a miniature sailboat on the model boat pond in Central Park, the setting famous from E.B. White’s story “Stuart Little.”

Model boats are being rented on the pond for the first time since 2019, the last full year before the coronavirus hit. The concessionaire is new: Rocking the Boat, a nonprofit from the Hunts Point section of the Bronx. The organization also teaches teenagers how to build full-size boats for rowing and sailing and how to pilot them on Long Island Sound.

Jasmine Benitez, who is managing Rocking the Boat’s operation at the boathouse east of the pond, said that the transition from the Sound to the diminutive world of the model boat lake (officially, Conservatory Water) had not been difficult. “The physics is exactly the same as on a big boat,” she said.

Physics? Yes, physics, said Sue Donoghue, the parks commissioner, adding that Rocking the Boat’s workshops introduce “the importance of STEM in a fun way,” referring to science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Teams from Rocking the Boat assemble the three-and-a-half-foot-long model vessels from components. The group plans to conduct workshops to teach people how to build their own.

Adam Green, the founder and executive director of Rocking the Boat, said that the operation in Central Park was a departure for the group — its first venture in Manhattan. Rocking the Boat is charging Manhattan prices, $15 for 30 minutes of sailing. The price was $13 in 2019, he said, adding, “We thought it was obvious that everything is more expensive now.”

Green said that he was counting on model boats to boost the name recognition of Rocking the Boat and to bring in revenue for the organization’s programs. Starting today, Rocking the Boat will rent sailboats on Wednesdays and Fridays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Next month, it will add Thursdays and Saturdays to the schedule, and in July, the operation will expand to five days a week, from Wednesday to Sunday. The rentals are separate from races organized by the Central Park Model Yacht Club on Saturdays, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

People can also bring their own boats during Rocking the Boat hours, but they need a $15 permit from the city’s parks department.

Green, 50, grew up on the Upper West Side and said that, when he was a child, he climbed all over the Alice in Wonderland statue just north of the pond. But he did not pay much attention to what was going on in the boathouse that Rocking the Boat is now using by Conservatory Water.

“As a New Yorker,” he said, “you never think about something like this existing here.”

The boathouse was built in the 1950s. Conservatory Water, one of the man-made wonders that Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted created, dates to the 19th century. Despite its age, the pond is not littered with (model) shipwrecks — it is not terribly deep. But boats can capsize.

I did not want that to happen when Benitez handed me the remote-control device used to control the miniature sailboat that she and Myah Recinos had placed in the water. The device looked something like an Xbox controller.

“I’m more of a PlayStation girl myself,” said Recinos, a Rocking the Boat veteran who is renting the boats and, as she put it, “helping people get them going.” People like me.

I had also read that the winds on the model boat basin are typically 3 to 6 knots, but at that moment there was not even a whisper. “Patience is key to dealing with these boats,” Recinos counseled. “When the wind dies out, you have to be patient.”

So I waited, and after a minute or two, a breeze carried the boat out. I maneuvered the controls. The boat zipped along nicely. I worked the remote control to turn the boat to head back.

Bad idea. At least the stern had what Recinos called a “nose,” a rubbery cone designed to absorb the shock of a slow-speed mishap.

“You cannot control the wind,” Recinos told me later. “You thought you were doing really bad when I didn’t think you were. I remember you crashing into the wall, and I was like, That’s pretty much bound to happen at some point.

Expect a cloudy day with temperatures in the high 60s. At night, the clouds will linger, and temperatures will drop to the low 50s.

In effect until tomorrow, Holy Thursday (Orthodox).

The latest New York news

Arrests at Columbia : Police officers in riot gear arrested protesters occupying a building at Columbia University. The school said that the building had been “vandalized and blockaded,” leaving officials “no choice” but to call in the police for the second time in less than two weeks.

Abuse lawsuits: About 150 people filed lawsuits against New York City agencies, saying that they had endured abuse while in the city’s custody as minors in juvenile detention centers and on Rikers Island.

More scrutiny of judges? : A criminal justice group that led the fight against Gov. Kathy Hochul’s first choice to lead the state’s highest court last year is pressing for closer scrutiny of judges.

Sentenced for funding terrorism : A 44-year-old woman was sentenced to 18 years in prison on Tuesday for funding terrorism by using cryptocurrency. Prosecutors said that she had sent funds to Bitcoin wallets controlled by a terrorist training group operating in Syria.

Tied for the most Tony nominations: The semi-autobiographical Alicia Keys musical “Hell’s Kitchen” and “Stereophonic,” a play about a group of musicians struggling to record an album, each got 13 Tony nominations .

For Trump, a $9,000 fine for violating a gag order

The judge in Donald Trump’s hush-money trial held the former president in contempt and fined him $9,000 for violating a gag order with his social media posts.

Judge Juan Merchan also warned Trump of “incarceratory punishment” if he were to flout the gag order from now on — meaning jail.

For Trump, $9,000 is not much money. Merchan said so himself, in an eight-page decision. The penalties for repeatedly violating the gag order “unfortunately will not achieve the desired result” when the person penalized can easily afford the fine, Merchan said.

The judge ordered Trump to remove nine “offending posts” from his Truth Social account and his campaign website. In doing so, Merchan rejected claims by Trump’s lawyers that the former president had simply reposted messages written by others. Merchan called the idea that such reposts do not count as violations of the gag order “counterintuitive and indeed absurd.”

The jury heard from Keith Davidson, the lawyer who represented two women who claimed to have had sex with Trump: Stormy Daniels, a porn actress, and Karen McDougal, a Playboy model. Davidson’s testimony has pulled back the curtain on the negotiations for the hush-money payments made to both women ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

Passing it on

Dear Diary:

Whenever I finish reading a magazine and it is in clean condition, I face a dilemma: Recycle it or leave it on a park bench or subway seat for someone else to enjoy?

By leaving it somewhere, I could be doing a public service. Or I could just be making trash for someone else to clean up.

One day not long ago, the question was answered for me as I watched.

I was sprinting to make a transfer at Columbus Circle when the magazine I had been reading flew out of my coat pocket and fell to the ground. Wanting to make my train, I decided not to stop to pick it up.

As the doors closed, I watched sheepishly while people streamed past my litter.

But just before the train pulled out, I saw a woman stop and examine the cover. Then she bent down, picked up the magazine and slipped it into her bag.

Bravo confirms Below Deck Season 12: Here’s everything we know so far

Ben Willoughby on Below Deck Season 11

Below Deck Season 12 has officially been ordered by Bravo, with the network confirming the news today.

It should surprise no one that the network has announced another season of the hit yachting show.

The yachting franchise has evolved since its debut in 2013, with three other spin-offs confirmed for another season.

Now, Below Deck can be added to the franchise list of shows with another season heading to Bravo.

The news comes after Monsters and Critics previously reported Below Deck cameras were spotted filming recently in St. Maarten.

Here’s everything we know about Below Deck Season 12

Thanks to a Below Deck fan a sneak peek at the upcoming season has been making the rounds. A YouTube video from Sailing Catchin’ Rays 2 reveals that Captain Kerry Titheradge returns for his second season at the helm after replacing Captain Lee Rosbach.

In the footage, Fraser Olender can also be seen returning to the chief stew role for his third season. We said earlier that Fraser seems to be Below Deck’s replacement for Kate Chastain.

Despite much backlash over Season 11, the production company behind Below Deck 51 Minds seems to be sticking with Fraser as a chief stew.

Signs point to Sunny Marquis, who appears to be back too, as her signature can be spotted in the video, but she’s too far away to see her face.

The description under the YouTube video claims that Chef Anthony Iracane is returning, which would be a big shock considering Captain Kerry fired him.

Good news for those not fond of Ben Willoughby: He was not spotted in the footage, nor have sightings of him filming been reported. Ben not coming back is not a surprise, considering how he has been dissing the show.

When will Below Deck Season 12 hit Bravo airwaves?

There are still a couple of episodes left in Below Deck Season 11. That means Season 12 of the OG show won’t hit Bravo airwaves until 2025.

If things play out like this year, then Below Deck Season 12 should premiere in February or March at the latest.

However, considering Bravo changed things up — the network pushed back Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 to air Below Deck Med Season 9 after Below Deck Season 11 — anything is possible.

We know, along with Season 5 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht having to air this year on Bravo, Below Deck Down Under Season 3 needs to air.

Captain Jason Chambers recently shared a message to fans about Season 3 of Below Deck Down Under.

In other Below Deck news, fan-favorite Aesha Scott got engaged to her long-time boyfriend, Scotty Dobson, and you can read all about it here.

Below Deck airs Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo. Seasons 1-11 are streaming on Peacock.
