Take a Tour of Below Deck Med's New Yacht, the Largest in the Show's History

Captain Sandy shows us  Below Deck Mediterranean's biggest yacht ever, which is also its most glamorous. 

Season 5 of Below Deck Mediterranean will take place aboard the largest boat in the series' history — and, quite possibly, also its most glam. From her dock in Mallorca, Spain, captain Sandy Yawn invited BravoTV.com to tour the stunning yacht, calling  The Wellington "by far, the biggest vessel I've ever run." Ready to peek inside? 

How to Watch

Watch Below Deck Mediterranean  on Peacock  and the Bravo app . 

Starting in the main salon, the captain shows off the "nice and spacious" room with plush couches, gilded lamps, and a giant flat-screen TV. ("This is where I think I'd do my pre-charter meeting — and perhaps my tip meeting," Sandy muses.) Next, there's a stop in the wood-paneled cigar room, which has tufted leather lounge furniture and a cabinet brimming with top-shelf whiskeys and scotches. "Obviously, they spared no expense when it comes to this," Sandy says. "This owner really loves his cigars and his whiskey." 

Past the sumptuous indoor dining room, there's the master cabin. The 1920s-theme suite has been refurbished with mahogany and inlaid leather, and its Pratesi sheets go for about 2,000 Euros a pop. "The cool thing about this [suite]," Sandy adds, "it's got an actual closet. It's a proper dressing room."

Formerly an observation lounge, the V.I.P. suite has a glass ceiling. "It's almost like driving under the stars," Sandy says, looking up at the ceiling dreamily as she lies on the bed.  

Next, Sandy dips into the crew quarters, where third stewardess Jessica More is at work ironing. "This is like entering the Bermuda Triangle," the captain jokes. "Some things that come in, never make it back out." While she walks through the rather cramped crew mess, Sandy jokes: "If anyone wants to get romantic, they have to get really creative to get romantic in these small little cabins." (Why do we have a feeling the crew will still find a way?) 

After a walk through her "amazing" bridge and wing station, Sandy meets up with her new "favorite bosun," who might look familiar: It's Below Deck Med veteran Malia White ! Malia leads the next segment of the tour, showing the lazarette that holds toys ranging from jet skis to a jellyfish pool, slide, and trampoline.

On the bridge deck, Malia shows off the cushioned area where the deckhands have wrestling matches, and then points out the waterfall-equipped jacuzzi on the sundeck. Sandy, who grew up in the meat industry , pauses to say: "This is a pretty badass grill." 

As Sandy says, "The bigger the boat ... I don't know!" We'll all have to watch Season 5 to find out. In the meantime, watch the video above to get the complete Wellington tour.

Yachts featured in Below Deck Adventure (Spin off)

Motoryacht mercury (previously known as malibu and kermit).

In the fourth spin off of Below Deck, the now infamous decided to spice things up a little. Instead of the usual Mediterranean or Caribbean routine, Below Deck went to the less explored (but extremely breathtaking) Norway.

For this new serie filled with adventure, Below Deck picked the motoryacht Mercury, ex Malibu and Kermit, to explore the Fjords Norway is famous for.

Mercury is a 50m motoryacht built by the dutch shipyard Amels, and designed by Terence Disdale.

She can accomodate up to 12 guests and 12 crew onboard. No doubt, that should be enough for this new exciting season.

Yachts featured in Below Deck Down Under (Spin off in Australia)

Thalassa (keri lee iii): the motoryacht in below deck down under season 1.

Northern Sun: the yacht in Below Deck Down Under Season 2

Below Deck Down Under season 2 explored the coasts around Cairns, the gateway to access the great barrier reef and the Whitsunday Islands.

And it’s hard to imagine a better yacht than the Northern Sun motoryacht to explore this iconic area. The Northern Sun is a 50.8m (now yacht) that used to be a vessel dedicated for ice exploration. The refit work took two years but was clearly worth it when we look at the result displayed in this second season of the Australian Spin off.

Although the Northern Sun is built by the Japanese Narasaki shipyard, it surely is a boat that fits Australian waters quite well and could delight anyone looking to explore the most rugged locations in style, whether they are polar or tropical.

Northern Sun is available for charter from $161,700 / week . Her latest asking price was $15,000,000 .

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.

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

"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

"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 

"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 

"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 

"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 

"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 

"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 

"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 

"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 

"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.

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.

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.

Originally christened Keri Lee III , the 181-foot superyacht was launched by U.S. shipyard Trinity Yachts in 2001 and refitted in 2016. In addition to meticulous craftsmanship and high-end finishes, she showcases six elegant cabins, a beauty salon, a massage room, a gym, a Jacuzzi, and a movie theater. She is reportedly worth $27 million, according to Rightboat.

That’s not the only fleet member Trinity has in the top five, either. The 161-foot Eros , known as Stay Salty IRL, claimed third spot with an estimated value of $23 million. Delivered by the U.S. yard in 2008, the vessel received a meticulous refit just before starring Below Deck Season 3 to ensure she was up to snuff.

Delta Marine’s 185-foot superyacht Starship , known as My Seanna during filming, ranked as the fourth priciest vessel with a value of $22.9 million. It also costs a lofty $275,000 per week to rent. Rounding out the top five is Feadship’s BG , or Valor in the show. Delivered by the Dutch yard in 2013, the 153-footer features a highly sophisticated exterior styled by De Voogt and a luxe contemporary interior by McMilen Design. It is estimated to be worth $21 million.

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).

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.

Video: Below Deck Mediterranean Season 5 (Spain) features biggest yacht ever - coming this summer

By Katia Damborsky   28 April 2020

The biggest yacht yet and an all-female lead crew; here’s everything you need to know about the new Season 5 of Below Deck Mediterranean, which takes place around Spain’s Mallorca Island.

Filmed last year before the Coronavirus pandemic, Season 5 of Below Deck Mediterranean will be hitting our screens later this summer on Bravo TV. 

A new trailer teases one of the most action-packed seasons in Below Deck history, with plenty of fiery scenes, demanding guests and drama between crew members as the yachties set course for Spain . 

There's a new yacht on the scene too; the crew are saying goodbye to Sirocco and hello to a brand new superyacht never before seen on Below Deck. 

This will be the largest yacht ever to star on Below Deck Mediterranean. 

What is the name of Below Deck Mediterranean season 5 yacht?

The yacht starring in Below Deck Mediterranean Spain is named The Wellington.

However, the Wellington is actually an alias, and the superyacht from season 5 Below Deck Med is actually the 185’ (56m) superyacht ‘The Wellesley’ . 

Many Below Deck Yachts adopt aliases for the show. You can read our article, All Below Deck Yachts, Real Names and Cost to Rent for more information.

The Wellesley is the biggest yacht ever to star in Below Deck Mediterranean, and she has a fantastic selection of amenities and facilities to match her size.

Check out our Virtual Tour Inside Below Deck Yacht 'The Wellington' for a closer look.

The latest Below Deck Mediterranean yacht has a chic 1920’s theme and has her very own club lounge with a bespoke humidor. 

All the en suites are finished in marble, and she has a huge amount of deck space where guests can soak up the sun.

She also features a large jacuzzi with spillpool features on the sundeck, where guests will love chilling out and enjoying the sights of Mallorca floating past. 

The yacht was built by Dutch yard Oceanco in 1993, and features accommodation for up to 12 guests.

How much does it cost to charter The Wellington?

The cost to charter the Wellington (or the Wellesley) is from €220,000 (approximately $243,000) per week.

This does not include expenses such as all on-board food and beverages, fuel, docking fees and tax.

Meet the Below Deck Med season 5 crew

A new trailer for the hit reality TV show has been released, and season 5 sees a number of familiar faces in the mix, including Captain Sandra Yawn and Chief Stewardess Hannah Ferrier. 

But there are some new crew members on the scene as well- and this season will be the first in Below Deck history to feature a female captain, female chief stew and female bosun.

An all-female lead

Alongside Hannah and Sandra Yawn, eagle-eyed viewers may spot another returning favorite: Malia White coming in as bosun. 

Malia starred on season 2 of Below Deck Mediterranean, where she came in as deckhand and was promoted to lead deckhand midway through the season. 

If the trailer of season 5 is anything to go by, she will have her work cut out for her in the upcoming series. “You’ve got a female bosun, a female captain, a female chief stew. Respect that.” She says in the trailer.

Who are the crew from Below Deck Mediterranean season 5?

As well as the Captain Sandy, Chief Stew Hannah and bosun Malia, here’s who else we can expect on our screens:

• Hindrigo ‘Kiko’ Lorran as yacht chef
• Lara Flumiani as stewardess
• Jessica More as stewardess
• Peter Hunziker as deckhand 
• Alex Radcliffe as deckhand
• Robert Westergaard as deckhand

Where is Below Deck Mediterranean season 5 filmed?

Below Deck Med Season 5 was filmed in The Balearic Islands, an archipelago off eastern Spain. The homeport is Port Adriano on the island of Mallorca .

This picturesque island is known for its white-sand beaches, emerald green bays and pretty towns. 

The capital of Mallorca is Palma. Ibiza and Formentera are two popular yachting destinations that are also located in the Balearics.

What can we expect from Below Deck Mediterranean Season 5?

Below Deck Mediterranean 5 is set to be the most dramatic season yet. In the opening of the trailer, we hear Captain Sandy Yawn confronting someone (a guest or a crew member) who is alleged to have brought drugs on board. 

Her no-nonsense attitude and clear priorities for her crew’s safety is evident, confirming why she has been a fan favorite for 4 seasons.

How will Below Deck Mediterranean film amid the COVID-19 crisis?

Colin Macy-O’Toole, a deckhand from previous seasons of Below Deck Mediterranean, has said that filming in the coming months will pose a number of challenges amid the Coronavirus outbreak , as production teams struggle with travel restrictions stopping them from meeting the yachts. 

We’ll have to wait and see how the Coronavirus outbreak develops to gain a better understanding of how the Below Deck franchise will fare in the coming months.

‘Below Deck’ Bosun Ben Willoughby Teases Trouble Waters Ahead: “I Had Hard Conversations That Didn’t Go In My Favor”

Where to stream:, ‘below deck’ star barbie pascual knows her attitude this season was “unnecessary”: “i see what everybody else sees when i watch myself”, ‘below deck’ exclusive clip: fraser olender shocked by primary guest’s meltdown over ice cream, andy cohen shocked after ‘below deck’ star barbie pascual shades his casting choices on ‘wwhl’: “read for filth on my own show”.

After one season and some change, Below Deck ‘s Ben Willoughby has finally received his long-awaited and well-deserved promotion to bosun! Former bosun, Jared Woodin, had been causing issues between departments through his erratic behavior and sloppy leadership , while Willoughby had been quietly biding his time and establishing himself as a mentor to deckhands Kyle Stillie and Sunny Marquis. When Captain Kerry Titheradge was forced to fire Woodin when he berated Stillie after a night out, Titherage knew Willoughby was the right person to replace him.

Though, Willoughby was the first to acknowledge that Woodin was going through a tough time. “He had a lot on his plate. You got to give him that,” Willoughby said generously. A skilled and steady yachtie, Willoughby was eager to step up and take charge as Bosun. The promotion felt natural to Willoughby because Chief Stew Fraser Olender would “often come to me as opposed to Jared for a lot of things.” “Fraser definitely saw me in that bosun role,” said Willoughby. However, Willoughby did tease “friction this season” between him and his frequent co-worker Olender. “I had to have hard conversations that very much didn’t go in my favor a lot of the time,” admitted Willoughly simply.

In addition to navigating the responsibilities of his new role, Willoughby also had to figure out how to traverse his flirtation with Marquis, which started when they were both deckhands. “It’s the first time I’ve dated someone in the same department,” said Willoughy, whose Season 10 romance with Stew Camille Lamb ended badly. “It was very difficult having to step up in a role and be someone’s boss rather than an equal.” Viewers can trust that complications arise between Willoughby and Marquis.”The relationship side of things [is] very much on the back burner for me,” confirmed Willoughby.

Willoughby stopped by the Page Six studio to speak to DECIDER about his new role, what’s to come this season, and the exits of Woodin and stew Cat Baugh in the same episode.

DECIDER: Ben, you’re in an elite group of yachties who have done multiple seasons on Below Deck . How does it feel to be back for round 2?

BEN WILLOUGHBY: It’s really cool to see the guys doing their first season, which I can relate to. I was like: “Oh yeah, I did that in my first time. That kind of sucks. I know where you’re coming from.” Especially with Sunny, to be honest. She was coming in gun hot, trying to show what she could do and was really excited. I did that last season with Ross McHarg. Captain Kerry was my third captain on the same boat, so I feel like I had got that advantage up my sleeve.

We love Captain Kerry! What was your reaction when you heard he was taking over the St. David?

It was comforting to hear a familiar voice in the Aussie accent. That was fantastic. He’s a bit shorter than I thought he was [laughs]. For my first season, Captain Lee and Captain Sandy split the time unexpectedly, so it was nice knowing that there was going to be one captain on for the whole season. However, I still had to prove myself to a new captain. It was like starting from square one again.

You seemed wary of Jared from the very beginning. Do you remember the first red flag you saw from him?

It was him dropping the anchor in the port. That was the biggest thing for me. I was like: “Dude, that’s the first thing you don’t do. You’ve got to let the captain know straight away. Anything you’re doing with heavy machinery, especially when you’ve got some green deckhands on the boat, you don’t want to be teaching them bad habits from the start.” Right then, I knew he wasn’t going to last. I feel like I’m a good judge of character. Speaking to him from the get-go, I knew he was a small boat captain. There are a lot of things that you miss when you are a small boat captain coming on to the super yachts. You tend to have lower standards. I knew I just had to bite my tongue and wait for my moment because it had got to come someday, right?

And it did.

I do have a serious question, though. Do you think American bosuns are at a disadvantage because they aren’t familiar with the metric system?

Yes. I was so glad I was not in Jared’s shoes when he was trying to call distances. But you know what? I don’t know the Imperial system all that well. When I was working with Captain Lee, I had to think on my toes. I was like: “Okay, meters to feet, you kind of times it by three or divide it by three roughly.” That’s what I was going off. You just kind of fake it till you make it. However, captains should know both. Jared’s a small boat captain, so I don’t know why he didn’t know both. That was another red flag I saw.

There were leadership issues with Jared from the beginning, but the rest of the deck crew really seemed to bond quickly. What was it like rooming with Kyle this season?

I don’t think I could have asked for a better roommate than Kyle. I had Tony [Dua] last season, who was fantastic. Kyle was just my man. He’d worked and lived in Australia before, so we had a lot of common ground there to build on.  He didn’t really give a shit about anything [laughs]. That’s very much the Australian way. We just got on straight away. If I had roomed with anyone else, I don’t think I would have had as fun of a season.

Speaking of someone you also had some fun with this season, I want to talk about Sunny. You two seem to have instant chemistry. What first stood out about her to you?

My relationship with Sunny marked the first time I’ve dated someone in the same department. Those were uncharted waters, excuse the pun, for me. She wasn’t afraid to get her hands dirty, which is necessary for someone who actually works on deck. She wanted to jump in and help out and learn and progress in her career. I’m not saying that the interior team doesn’t, but they’re more, I would say, delicate. That’s probably the way to put it. Her work ethic is what drew me to her. And she’s gorgeous too, by the way.

I want to get into the Jared drama of it all. Could you sense his time on the charter was nearing an end?

He had a lot on his plate. You got to give him that. He was struggling to find a way to have a relationship with his daughter who he’d never met face-to-face. That’s something I can’t relate to, so I didn’t really know what was going through his head there. He was managing a big team, and he as struggling a lot with a new captain and a new boat. He was just very much out of his depth.

Did you sense that the night that he was wasted and kept berating Kyle was going to be his last on the boat?

Oh, I think he was done after the end of charter two when [Stew] Barbie [Pascual] went off on him. Like, I said, I’m a good judge of character, and I was just waiting for people to see what I saw. Once Barbie noticed there was something off, it was just a domino effect. Plus, I think Jared was a bit jealous of Kyle since he and Barbie were getting closer. Once his true colors came out, it eventually led to Captain Kerry having to make the decision to fire him.

You did not hesitate to accept the role of bosun when Captain Kerry offered it to you. How eager were you to prove yourself to him and the rest of the crew?

I felt like I was already in the bosun role, to be honest. Fraser definitely saw me in that bosun role. He’d often come to me as opposed to Jared for a lot of things. Nothing really changed in that sense. I was already teaching Sunny and Kyle how to operate the anchor. They didn’t know how to operate machinery. They couldn’t drive the tender either.

So, it was me teaching a lot of the stuff while Jared was doing whatever he was doing and being his own worst enemy. Since I was already doing so much with the team, I didn’t really have to change much of my mindset. It was just more dealing with Kerry and being more in touch with him as opposed to getting information through Jared every day.

This promotion did put your “shipuationship” with Sunny in a bit of jeopardy. How did you navigate the new dynamic together?

I think navigating it is probably the key word there. It was very difficult having to step up and be her boss rather than an equal. That was the hardest thing for me. At the end of the day, I came into the season wanting to get that promotion and be a bosun on the biggest boat in Below Deck history. I wanted to be the first Australian Indigenous person in Australian history to take on a head of department role on a platform like this. That was my focus.

The relationship side of things was very much on the back burner for me. It was very hard to explain that to her because she didn’t understand the position I was in. So, it was hard. Sunny and I went back and forth a lot while we figured things out. Katie [Glaser] and Ross did it last year, and it didn’t work out.

We also had stew Cat Baugh leave the St. David this episode. Were you surprised to see her go?

Talk about a double whammy. I was surprised to see Cat go. I didn’t know the extent of her interior struggles because she seemed all right on the outside. I got only little glimpses of her turmoil and what I would hear from Fraser and Barbie and the other people. Xandi [Oliver] is obviously very strong, but Cat, she just couldn’t hold her own. She was very much a small yacht stewardess, very California vibes. She was very laid back and that’s why she was having so much trouble. The super yacht industry is very much sink or swim, and she sank unfortunately. Two people off in the one episode. Can you believe that?

And we’re not even halfway through the season.

What could go wrong?

As she was leaving the yacht, you comforted Kyle by saying, “That’s the way it goes. That’s yachting, mate.” Is it a common occurrence in the yachting industry to have crew shifts like?

It’s not. It was also very unexpected the way she left because we were still underway. We dropped the anchor, and she got off the yacht. Normally, you’d probably wait until you get to the dock or whatnot. I think Cat was very much at her wit’s end. She needed to get off and deal with what she had going on. I don’t blame her. The yachting industry does take a very big mental toll on everyone. If people say that it doesn’t, then they’re lying or being dishonest.

On the trailer for next week, we get a glimpse of the new deckhand’s arrival. What can you tell us about Dylan?

Mr. Dylan [laughs]. He’s a very good-looking fellow, to say the least. All the girls were very much peacocking around him. Though, I think it’s always good to have what we call “fresh meat” in the industry come on board. Dylan is that. People love to get into relationships on board, so the single people are always looking for the next person to come along. Dylan’s fantastic. We went over his CV, both Kerry and I. When we got word that he was joining the crew, we felt like it was a breath of fresh air. His CV was very impressive. He’s definitely a contender for the lead deckhand role now that I’m not in there anymore.

When Bravo.com asked you to describe this season in three words, you wrote, “Almost broke me.” Can you elaborate on that?

“Almost broke me.” [laughs] I think I’ve never dealt with so many frictions between people and departments. Stepping up into the bosun role was challenging, at times. I’m very much a people person, but I had to have hard conversations that very much didn’t go in my favor a lot of the time. I felt a lot of friction with Kerry and Fraser specifically. I dare say that we’re not that close any more because of the season.

Here’s why Captain Jason Chambers called himself ‘naive’ about Below Deck Down Under

Captain Jason Chambers quickly became a fan favorite from the moment he first appeared on Below Deck Down Under.

The hunky captain had Below Deck fans and his own crew members gushing over him.

The Bravo personality also didn’t realize how much his life would change from the show.

Boy, has it ever changed! That was proved more than ever at BravoCon last year when all the ladies wanted a piece of the hot captain.

As Below Deck Down Under fans anxiously wait for Season 3, Captain Jason has revealed his initial thoughts about the yachting franchise.

Here’s why Captain Jason Chambers thinks he was ‘naïve’ about Below Deck Down Under

Captain Jason joined Below Deck’s Captain Lee Rosbach, Below Deck Sailing Yacht star Captain Glenn Shephard, Below Deck Med’s Captain Sandy Yawn, and Below Deck star Captain Kerry Titheradge to give some behind-the-scenes details on the hit yachting franchise.

When discussing how everyone got involved with their respective Below Deck shows, Captain Jason opened up about not realizing the yachting show was such a big deal before he joined it.

“I honestly think I was pretty naive. I didn’t think it was this big of a deal, you know,” Captain Jason expressed. “I don’t live in America. I do live in the Philippines.”

The captain spoke about how he ended up being cast on the latest Below Deck spin-off.

“I got a phone call about using the boat in Below Deck. Then they rang me and said you want to apply for being the captain. I was like, I was okay could be time for a change,” he dished.

All five captains opened up about safety and the struggles of working on a yacht while also filming a reality TV show.

Hint: the biggest challenge is getting the production team on and off the yacht safely, even if the weather conditions are not great.

What do we know about Below Deck Down Under Season 3?

Season 2 of Below Deck Down Under put the show on the map due to Captain Jason and his trusty chief stew, Aesha Scott. How they dealt with Luke Jones and Laura Bileskalne earned them mad props and took the show to a whole new level.

Since Below Deck Down Under ended last fall without any reunion, fans have been waiting to hear news about Season 3. In December, Captain Jason revealed that Below Deck Down Under Season 3 hadn’t even filmed yet.

Well, the good news is that according to Noah Samton, a senior vice president of unscripted current production for NBCUniversal, the season is currently filming or was at the time he spoke with The New York Times.

We don’t know exactly what that means in terms of when the show will air, other than the fact that it likely won’t be until the end of this year or early next year.

Some fans have voiced concern that Aesha won’t be involved because she’s been all over social media lately. In fact, Aesha just shared a life-changing moment with her boyfriend, Scotty Dobson.

Captain Jason Chambers didn’t talk at all about the next season in the video with the other captains, but hopefully, we will hear some news soon.

The timing of the captain’s video comes hot on the heels of Monsters and Critics reporting that Below Deck fans have named Captain Jason their favorite.

Below Deck Down Under is currently on hiatus on Bravo. Seasons 1-2 are streaming on Peacock.

‘Below Deck’ Sails Into a New Era

With a different captain at the helm and new production elements, the reality show about charter yachts is switching up its style.

By Shivani Gonzalez

Starting a new season of “ Below Deck ” can be similar to returning to summer camp as a kid — you know it’s going to be fun and that you’ll be in the same environment, but some of the people will be different and you’re not quite sure what the vibes will be.

This time around, in particular, feels that way because for the first time in the show’s 11-season run, Captain Lee Rosbach is no longer at the helm. It’s a pivotal moment for a franchise that has become one of the most popular entities in the sprawling universe of reality TV since premiering on Bravo in 2013 . The show’s appeal was built on endless romances between various crew members (“boatmances,” as they came to be known), horrible charter guests and some sort of passive-aggressive fight about how many shackles of the anchor chain should be in the water. And there was always Rosbach presiding over the drama as he trudged around the boat, reeling off one liners like “I’m madder than a pissed-on chicken” and “we screwed the pooch so many times we should have a litter of puppies running around.”

At the center of the show now is Kerry Titheradge (the stern yet goofy captain of “Below Deck Adventure” fame), who is managing the Motor Yacht Saint David with the cheeky chief stew Fraser Olender by his side.

With that change in captain, the energy on the boat — both onscreen and off — is different, according to Olender.

“Lee has a no B.S. attitude, which I love with him,” Olender said in an interview. “With Kerry, he taught me a lot and sort of forced to me confront issues directly with my team, work them out, as opposed to making executive decisions too soon.”

This shift in management style changes the central conflict — whereas the drama once focused on the captain swiftly kicking out any unpleasant crew member (as we might have seen with Rosbach), the drama now focuses on the whole crew trying to get along (since Titheradge gives people those second chances).

Additionally, Olender noted that the captain’s relationship with the crew can also affect the drama on board.

“Captains absolutely do get involved, whether they know it or not,” Olender said, adding that for the crew, everything is about “trying to impress your captain.”

This phenomenon plays out early in the new season when the lead deckhand, Ben Willoughby, called out a fellow crew member over the radios about not wearing a life vest — something he easily could have done in private. The drama that followed became an interpersonal conflict between the two of them, both with the ultimate goal of impressing Titheradge. (Of course, the two deckhands had kissed on the previous crew night out, which is more in line with the “Below Deck” drama viewers are used to.)

For “Below Deck” showrunners, the changeovers in the cast allowed them to rethink what the show would look like.

From the season premiere, it was immediately apparent that Rosbach’s absence wasn’t the only change this season: The filming is sleeker, the daily, multicourse meals prepared by the chef are given their own glamour shots and the cameras sometimes cut to the perspectives of yachties running around on deck and through the galley.

“Our showrunner, Lauren Simms, is an avid consumer of all different kinds of media,” Noah Samton, a senior vice president of unscripted current production for NBCUniversal, said in an interview. “She pitches us different ideas on how to stylistically evoke different feelings and change the mood a little bit of ‘Below Deck’ without removing what really works.”

Moving through the rest of the season, and potentially through seasons to come, Olender is aiming to bring a cutthroat management style while also bringing affection for his stews, all with his signature British humor.

On Bravo’s side, there are changes in the works for the other “Below Deck” spinoffs — including “Sailing Yacht,” “Mediterranean” and “Down Under” — which collectively, have 26 seasons. Specifically, Samton said that “Down Under” is currently filming and that even though fans should be ready to see new things, the show will stay true to its original concept.

“These are real yachties doing a real job so you have to stay within those confines because the audience isn’t going to want anything that is too produced or fake,” Samton said. “So we have to find ways to reinvent while staying true to the original concept of the show.”

And as Olender said: “I’m sure that every year if I were to work with this franchise again, that I’ll be thrown a collection of total chaotic and disastrous stews — that’s what makes it watchable.”

An earlier version of this article misquoted Fraser Olender, the chief stew of “Below Deck.” He said, “I also feel like Kerry this season. ... Lee has a no B.S. attitude, which I love with him,” not “I feel like Kerry this season, as opposed to Lee, has a no B.S. attitude, which I love with him.”

Below Deck’s Ben Willoughby Jokes That His 1st Dock Departure as Bosun Might Not Have Been ‘Legal’ (Exclusive)

Below Deck ‘s Ben Willoughby had his work cut out for him when taking over for Jared Woodin — and he still has questions about the deck crew’s first departure with him as bosun.

“This is the longest charter we had all season — four days long. We’re already a man down [with Jared], but it’s nothing that I think we can’t handle. It’s unheard of [though when we] first [are] coming off the dock,” Ben exclusively told Us Weekly . “You’ve got two deck members [on the boat] while Sunny [Marquis] is on the tender. You wouldn’t do that. I don’t even know if it’s legal, to be honest.”

The reality star pointed out that it wasn’t easy to have stew Cat Baugh leave shortly after Jared.

“Interior was going to support us with whatever we needed, [such as] cleaning up the crew mess and all that kind of stuff. [They could] take some duties back from the deck team because we’re a man down,” he explained. “But now they’ve got to take [more] duties in their own department.”

Ben continued: “It’s just not an equal playing field again because we’ve got two crew members down [during] the biggest charter we’ve had. I mean, what can go wrong? Emotions are running high. It’s definitely an experience, to say the least, and I wouldn’t want to do that again.”

During the Monday, March 18, episode of Below Deck , Captain Kerry Titheradge let Jared go and subsequently promoted Ben. The crew was in for another shake-up when Cat asked to leave to deal with issues back home. Despite being two people down, Ben effortlessly slipped into the bosun role even though he wasn’t offered the job right off the bat.

“Initially, I think [I was] very much [surprised to not be bosun] because between the two seasons, I’d actually worked as a bosun on other vessels, which was great. I had very much just moved into that role very easily,” he noted. “So, when I was asked to come back and I was actually taking a step down back to the lead deckhand, I was like, ‘Damn, I’ve got to bite my tongue a bit here and see what kind of circus this person’s running.'”

Ben found it “very hard” in the beginning, adding, “You could see that evidently in the first few episodes. It’s hard for me to just step back in a role knowing that we’re destined to fail with Jared being at the helm. [It was] very frustrating. I don’t think Sunny or Kyle [Stillie] could see my frustration, but I was ready to walk off at one point. I was like, ‘If we’re going to keep going with this, I’m going to walk off this boat.'”

The tension between Ben and Jared was evident as season 11 played out.

“I think it was more of a competition between us two. I think that’s how Jared kind of took it because he could have used me to his advantage. I know the boat, I know how it works very successfully,” Ben explained. “But I think he was just trying to use what we call two-stripe authority to influence that on me. I did as much as I could to bite my tongue, but I was very much ready to walk off that boat because I knew we were destined to fail. And evidently here we are.”

According to Ben, the benefit of taking over for Jared was learning what mistakes not to make.

“I was very pleased that he had the first run at it and I could sort of see what was going on,” he admitted to Us . “I’m glad that he took the first run at it, so I could see how to do it and what Kerry was like and where he demanded things. Especially in the docking situations … I could tell that Jared was stumbling and fumbling. So I knew that that’s where I just had to be on my A-game.”

Below Deck season 11 airs on Bravo Mondays at 9 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Peacock.

A look at the most expensive superyachts at the Palm Beach yacht show and their insane features, from basketball courts on deck to ice baths and saunas

• The Palm Beach International Boat Show kicks off later this week.
• Eight megayachts are expected to be on display for would-be buyers and charter customers.
• These are the show's biggest yachts — and how many millions of dollars they are going for.

The Palm Beach International Boat Show — the yacht world's flashiest event stateside — is returning this year with over 800 boats for both deep-pocked potential owners and window shoppers to peruse.

While it's impossible to know what exactly will be on display until the show begins on Thursday, it's expected that eight megayachts — generally defined as ships over 60 meters long — will be docked at the show and at nearby marinas like the Rybovich Marina in the ritzy Florida town.

Some of these are for sale at eye-popping prices, but others are available to if in case you fancy living like a billionaire for a week or two this summer (and if you have six figures to spare on a vacation).

These are the eight biggest yachts that will be at the Palm Beach International Boat Show and nearby marinas, in size order.

Nero: 90.1 meters

Price: From $497,000 a week (charter) Standout features: Pizza ovens, beauty salon, massage room, resistance pool

She now boasts a gym on her sundeck with multiple cardio machines and a beauty salon, and has an on-board beautician for manicure, pedicure, hair, and massage needs. There's also an upgraded movie theater, two new pizza ovens, and both a pool and a jacuzzi.

For those who want to go overboard, she has more than a dozen toys, including a waterslide, Jet Ski, and flyboard.

For tamer charter clients, Victorious has a suite of wellness features such as a gym, massage room, beauty salon and hammam, or Turkish bath — perhaps a custom request of her owner, Turkish businessman Vural Ak.

She also boasts a treasure trove of water toys, including Jet Skis, jetsurfs, inflatable kayaks, and scuba equipment.

Casino Royale: 72 meters

Price: TBD Special Features: Infinity pool, helipad, private jacuzzi

Purchased and refitted by car dealer magnate John Staluppi last year, Casino Royale is the latest of his James Bond-inspired yachts (he's also owned an Octopussy and a Skyfall, among others).

Casino Royale has a helipad that turns into a dancefloor, an infinity pool, and a wellness center with a gym and sauna. The owner's cabin has its own deck, which features a private bar and jacuzzi.

However, the boat's price isn't listed, and while she's not necessarily officially for sale, that might change depending on who's prepared to buy, Mr. Bond.

Talisman C: 70.6 meters

Price: $60 million (or from $567,000 a week to charter) Special features: Massage and beauty room, private library

Likely the largest yacht for sale (not just charter) at the show, the Talisman C is a 2011 six-bedroom boat. The owner's cabin comes with an en suite bathroom, dressing room, private library, and crystal chandeliers.

Amenities include a gym, a beauty room, oversized jacuzzi, and a fully equipped bar. Her crew of 19 includes a trained masseuse, and the toy room comes equipped with a wakeboard, eFoil , and WaveRunners.

Joy: 70 meters

Price: From $650,000 a week Special features: Disco club, basketball court, onboard fitness instructor

Superyacht Joy testifies to the fact that owners want as many on-board experiences as they can get.

There's an expansive suite of fitness features, including a basketball court (don't shoot that hoop too hard!), a personal trainer on staff, boxing equipment, and a handful of machines. For post-workout winddowns, there's a spa with a steam room and onboard masseuse. And for entertainment, there's both an outdoor and indoor cinema, and a disco club.

Triumph: 65.4 meters

Price: From $707,600 a week in the summer and $650,000 a week in the winter Special features: Sauna, helipad, banana boat

This 2021 superyacht is named after Triumph motorcycles — a reported favorite of her rumored owner, British businessman Chris Dawson — and even has one on display as an art piece in the upper deck's lounge. The primary suite is 1,400 square feet and has its own study , and there's a sauna, an indoor-outdoor gym, a helipad, and a massage room spread among her six decks.

She boasts an "armada of water toys," including two kinds of Jet Skis, electric water bikes, and a banana boat.

Seanna: 64.5 meters

Price: $54,000,000 (or from $462,000 a week to charter) Special features: marble foyer, movie room, sundeck pool

The recently refurbished Seanna is available for sale and charter.

Her indoor-outdoor gym is on sea level so that passengers can take a dip after a session with the onboard personal trainer. There's also a sundeck pool, a helipad, a two-room massage facility, and, for the more cerebral guests, a library with an electric fireplace.

There are a number of toys on board, including a popular water trampoline and two WaveRunners.

Come Together: 60 meters

Price: $65,000,000 Special Features: DJ and videographer on board, ice bath, sauna

Next-to-new yacht Come Together is looking for a new owner after doing charters during the 2023 season.

The Beatles' influence is evident beyond the yacht's name, with guitars dotting the sky lounge and a crewmember who doubles as a DJ. There's also an outdoor cinema and bar for entertainment and an ice bath and sauna for the day after the party. The owner's suite has a private study and lounge, and each guest cabin has its own ensuite.

The sale includes a number of toys, like Jet Skis, kayaks, and Seabobs.

The biggest yachts to look out for at the 2024 St Barths Bucket

St Barths is the epicentre of superyacht racing during the Caribbean season, often with an impressive array of superyacht spectators in tow . In the final days leading up to the 2024 St Barths Bucket (21-24 March), BOAT rounds up the largest yachts seen pulling into Gustavia for the famed regatta, beginning with Lürssen's 138-metre Rising Sun ...

Builder: Lürssen Length: 138.01m

If not for her sheer size, Rising Sun will be easy to spot from the shores of Gustavia thanks to her distinct glass panels running across the two upper decks. The yacht was the last ever design of Jon Bannenberg and boasts 8,000 square metres of living space that includes a wine cellar, double-height cinema and a basketball court. Rising Sun was originally commissioned by American business magnate Larry Ellison , who later sold the yacht to media mogul David Geffen. 

Builder: Kleven Length: 116.15m

One of the largest explorer yachts in the world , Multiverse (ex Ulysses ) was commissioned by New Zealand's richest man, Graeme Hart. She is equipped with a heli-hangar on the top deck for a Bell 429 helicopter, as well as a large swimming pool, cinema and spa for the ultimate guest experience. Inside, the yacht's massive 18-metre beam provides accommodation for an owner's party of up to 66. 

Maltese Falcon

Builder: Perini Navi Length: 88m

Fresh out of a full-scale refit, Maltese Falcon is undoubtedly one of the most unique and technologically innovative sailing superyachts in the world – kitted out with radical unstayed masts made of "weapons-grade" carbon fibre, a FalconRig and computerised sail and mast control system. Be sure to look out for the yacht's eponymous emblem on its middle sail, which also appears in the form of a bronze sculpture next to the indoor cinema. 

Builder: Admiral – The Italian Sea Group Length: 74.85m

Instantly recognisable, Kenshō' 's flowing lines and metallic green-blue hull took six years to create with design from Dutch firm Azure Yacht Design and Naval Architecture and Berlin-based archineers.berlin . The Admiral flagship was awarded the coveted Motor Yacht of the Year title at the 2023 BOAT International World Superyacht Awards and picked up another Neptune at the 2023 BOAT International Design & Innovation Awards for Best Interior Design. Onboard highlights include a glass-fronted spa pool on the sundeck, a sunbed shaped in the image of a manta ray and a diesel-electric system based on five variable-speed generators that earned the yacht its Eco classification. 

Builder: Heesen Yachts Length: 65m

The multiple award-winning Illusion (ex Galactica Star ) was delivered by Heesen in 2013, featuring the Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) developed by Dutch naval architects Van Oossanen & Associates . Her streamlined appearance and generous guest amenities have made her a favourite on the charter scene, with Beyoncé and Jay Z among her list of returning clients . Illusion was also singled out by Dickie Bannenberg – who designed the yacht's interior – as one of his most memorable projects owing to its considerable onboard art collection. 

Builder: Benetti Length: 60m

Another popular charter vessel, St David will once again appear on the hit reality TV show Below Deck , but this time with a new captain at the helm. The yacht is characterised by a classic Baroque theme with intricate marquetry made from satin woods, and a mosaic floor on the skylounge that draws inspiration from a "Tuscan palazzo". While St David is known to frequent high-profile events such as the Cannes Film Festival, she has also ventured to off-the-beaten-path locations including the Seychelles, Red Sea and Abu Dhabi. 

Builder: Trinity Yachts Length: 58.83m

Launched in 2016, Imagine... is one of the largest yachts to be built in the United States . The tri-deck vessel was penned by long-time collaborator Geoff Van Aller , with both the hull and superstructure built from aluminium to AB classification. The yacht's primary social area is found on the sundeck, where guests can relax in the Jacuzzi, on multiple sun loungers or at the bar. Inside, Imagine... also has a bonus cabin that doubles as a massage room. 

Builder: Feadship Length: 55.5m

This Feadship superyacht has sailed under a litany of names since her 2005 delivery, including Twizzile , Drizzle , Issana , Madsummer , Cynthia and most recently, Mary A . In 2018, her owner joined forces with American interior designer Claudette Bonville Associates to give Mary A an exhaustive makeover that included a top-to-bottom paint job, technical tweaks and a brand-new interior – all while carefully preserving the yacht's pedigree. 

Builder: Benetti Length: 52m

Lady B (ex Latitude ) appears to be making the most of the winter cruising season, with back-and-forth trips between the British Virgin Islands and St Barths since early December 2023 according to BOATPro 's Global Fleet Tracker. Before that, the yacht spent the off-season touring fan-favourite destinations in the South Pacific, such as Fiji, the Cook Islands and French Polynesia. She is consistently ranked among the most popular charter vessels with amenities such as an outdoor cinema, a Jacuzzi and a recently updated dive centre.
