The Below Deck Sailing Yacht Finale Was ‘Really Hard’ for Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher to Watch

It’s no surprise that Below Deck: Sailing Yacht chief stew Daisy Kelliher is a big sister in real life. “I am a big sister! I am. Oh God … so transparent,” she accepts over Zoom. Kelliher often talks about her “Mom Daisy” persona, but her big-sister energy is what drips through the screen. She’s protective of her girls and doesn’t want them making the same mistakes she did in her early days. And after 10 years in the yachting industry, Kelliher knows a thing or two. “I’m a little bit older and I’ve been there, done that. If I’m not gonna look after them, who will?” she says.

There was a lot to look after this season: Gary’s womanizing ways, feuds erupting between Ashley and Gabriela, and new personalities coming aboard halfway through — not to mention being down a stew for a couple of charters. Kelliher had her hands full, but it paid off. By the season finale , she granted Ashley a promotion, made bank, and clarified her relationship with Gary, which she admits is still complicated.

Ashley was deeply moved when you promoted her at the final tip meeting. What are your thoughts on her growth throughout the season? She was somebody I’d never met before. It was a really strange thing to witness. Nowadays there’s a lot of female independence and empowerment. I’ve grown up in this generation, so it was weird for Ashley to come in with a really old-school mentality. It really threw me. So I was determined to show her that she was worth more. She was a great stew and super-fun to be around. And she has so many other qualities than the ones she saw herself. So I was quite determined for her to see herself through our eyes.

She was so proud of herself in the finale! We had several conversations, and she told me that people have never recognized her for anything but the way she looks. From what she told me, I was the only person who’d recognized her for something more than that. I believe it, too. I believe what she says because her nature definitely gave off that impression that she saw herself as nothing but a sex symbol. I don’t know what people have been in her life who have given her this guidance, but in my opinion, it wasn’t very good guidance.

One of my favorite moments from the season was when all the girls played “Fuck, Marry, Kill.” Of course, everyone wanted to marry Colin. He had a girlfriend, so it made sense that nobody went for him, but why didn’t anyone make a move for Marcos? Everyone asks this. It’s like Tinder: What the viewers are seeing is a profile and a face. There’s so much more to a person. Obviously he’s very handsome and highly skilled, but it’s more than that. He was also a good 20 years older than some of the girls. And I personally would’ve thought it was kind of weird, but I think I’m the only person who seems to think that. I don’t think a 40-year-old and a 60-year-old is that weird, but I think a 20-year-old and a 40-year-old …

I didn’t realize he was 40! He’s 43! Everyone was really pushing it, and I’m like, This is making me feel really uncomfortable . I would lose my shit if my 20-year-old came home with a 40-year-old. He obviously looks very young and he is super-handsome, but he didn’t have as much in common with the girls. I think he had some personal stuff with an on-and-off girlfriend, as we all do.

Speaking of off-screen romances, what is it like dating as a yachty? How do you even do that? You don’t. [ Laughs ] No, you do. It’s so hard. I haven’t managed it. I’ve had a few brief romances, but one guy I was dating — my boat was going to New Zealand, his boat was going to Palma, and that was the end of it, you know? I didn’t see him again for, like, four years.

Not to echo the final charter guests, but what are your thoughts on marriage? In the final episode, I get all like, “Maybe there’s true love!” I think I just got really emotional, because I’m really not like that. I’m not really fussed about getting married. I definitely believe in monogamy, mainly because I’m a really jealous and insecure person. But a marriage? I would love a commitment, and I think a marriage is a good way to show a commitment to somebody, but I definitely won’t be spending my money on a big wedding. I’d rather buy a house or put money toward holidays. So I don’t ever see myself personally getting married.

I know you talk about you and Gary ad nauseam, so I don’t want to spend too much time on him, but I need to get your thoughts on the hookup that almost happened in the finale. To be honest, that episode was really hard for me to watch, and I didn’t know anything. The kiss I was way more prepared for, because I knew I kissed Gary and the crew had told me I’d kissed Gary. I’d actually even spoken to some of the production staff and obviously did a load of green screens, so I was very prepared for that. We actually never spoke in my green screens about that last night, so I never knew that was coming. I had no idea about the comments that Gary was saying behind my back of being like, “I wanna hook up with Daisy.” I had no clue. I had no idea how flirty we were and how close we were to hooking up, so for me that was really difficult to watch and very, very embarrassing.

Thank God he was taking his time and I went to bed, because while watching it, I could see that I was seriously contemplating it. I don’t know; I wouldn’t have slept with him. There are a few times during the season that the audience doesn’t see where I do get into bed with Gary and we talk. I talk with the boys, and he is very affectionate. He is a very welcoming person. I think I was very, very close to getting into bed with him. I think he was just taking so long that my sober brain was going, “Okay, Daisy, time for bed.” And I just have so much relief in me that I went to bed.

Do you watch every episode in real time? I do. It’s obviously really hard to watch myself. I cringe. I’m like, “Ugh, your ass, go do a squat.” And my voice, I’m like, “How can anyone listen to me?” But overall, I think the show is funny. It’s weird … I know what I said, but I didn’t know what the other eight people said. So I found out quite a lot during this season that I had no idea was going on.

Like what? Gary very much was like, “Ashley’s obsessed with me.” I had a good feeling that he was leading her on, and I’d been told it a bit more …. But it was like, O h, you were fully just involved in it. He would very much throw her under the bus to me, being like, “She’s crazy.” Even the day on the bow, the very first night, he was like, “She kissed me,” and I’m like, “What? She may have kissed you, but you very much welcomed it with open arms. You happen to leave that very important part out.”

What are the plans right now for next season? Will we see the core group again? Like I tell everyone, there’s several circumstances. I need to be asked back. I also need to see what’s happening in my life. It’s a big commitment. Maybe I’ll get a boyfriend. [ Laughs. ] I wouldn’t hold your breath on that one, but, yeah, we’ll have to see what happens. If the circumstances are right on both ends, I had a great two seasons, so yeah, I would do it again.

Below Deck: Sailing Yacht: The Truth About Gary And Daisy's Relationship

The highly anticipated third season of " Below Deck: Sailing Yacht " returns to Bravo on Monday, February 21. Viewers will be delighted to see popular cast members  Captain Glenn Shephard , first mate Gary King, chief stew Daisy Kelliher , and chief engineer Colin MacRae return in Season 3. According to Bravo , a few new faces will also be appearing in the third season, including chef Marcos Spaziani, second stew Gabriela Barragan, deckhand Tom Pearson, deckhand Kelsie Goglia, and third stew Ashley Marti.

Though drama is nearly always guaranteed in the "Below Deck" franchise, one recent preview clip had even the most seasoned viewers raising their eyebrows. In the clip, Kelliher is seen indulging in a hot tub makeout session with King (via  Entertainment Tonight ). The pair's formerly contentious relationship seems to have led to something more. "That kiss got way too much air time, I was not happy about that," Kelliher told Entertainment Tonight. "You know what, it's a complicated dynamic. You've experienced something together — and we're both very stubborn and passionate about what we do — and we're trying to figure out our friendship and trying to work with each other, and I think it's easy for those lines to get blurred," she explained. "So I think that's what happened, but I'm not really sure, to be honest."

Since finding romance in the hot tub, the pair have been spotted vacationing together, leading many to wonder if the "Below Deck: Sailing Yacht" cast members have forged a deeper connection since filming.

Kelliher and King claim that they are only friends

Earlier this month, Daisy Kelliher addressed the rumors that she was dating her costar, Gary King . "It's a complicated friendship," Kelliher told E! News . "I don't think we're more than just friends. We're very affectionate people and we're very affectionate towards each other and care a lot about each other and we've been through a lot over the last two years," she explained. "I just think that just got a bit blurred. Our relationship is very platonic. We care about each other and like I said we're both affectionate people, so affection can sometimes lead to kissing." Ultimately, she had just one thing to say: "But no, we're just friends."

However, while denying dating rumors, the pair enjoyed a trip to Disneyland in California, documenting their adventures frequently on their respective social media channels. Though they appeared to be poking fun of the dating rumors while vacationing together, per Us Weekly , a separate comment made by King to E! News might lead some to believe that hope does exist for their friendship to blossom into something more. "I think she kind of knew this, so when we were in the jacuzzi it was just us alone, there was definitely chemistry there," King told E! News. "I think we both felt it. And then one thing led to another and a few minutes later we were kissing, which for me was amazing, I don't know what Daisy says about." Finally, he said, "But it's a work in progress, this relationship, and we're just trying to build it step by step and see where it takes us."

The breakout star of Bravo’s next reality TV juggernaut is ready to settle down. Almost

You wouldn’t know it from watching “Below Deck Sailing Yacht,” but Gary King likes to have space to himself. Before he starts the summer charter season, he likes to book a hotel room for a few days. “If I can have my own space, and just relax a little bit, it makes the season a lot easier,” says the 33-year-old via video chat from a hotel room in Sardinia he’s booked for precisely this purpose.

King, who is from South Africa, has just finished a day of work aboard Parsifal III, the 177-foot sailing yacht that provides a setting for some of the most outrageous antics in the Bravo universe .

Each show in the dangerously habit-forming “Below Deck” franchise follows the hard-partying crew members and demanding guests aboard yachts in exotic destinations around the world, from the Caribbean to the South Pacific. Now in its third season, “Sailing Yacht” is arguably the most dramatic incarnation of “Below Deck,” thanks to tighter living quarters, wind-tossed working conditions and adventure-hungry crew members.

The complete guide to home viewing

Get Screen Gab for everything about the TV shows and streaming movies everyone’s talking about.

You may occasionally receive promotional content from the Los Angeles Times.

King, who joined “Sailing Yacht” in Season 2, has become the show’s breakout star, a mischievous charmer with a tousled man bun and a husky smoker’s voice who is almost bafflingly irresistible to his female co-workers. (King has hooked up with nearly all the women in the Parsifal III crew as they sailed the Balearic Islands of Spain this season, but his abundant chemistry with plucky chief steward Daisy Kelliher is what has viewers in a frenzy.)

In other words, King makes for great TV. But he also happens to be very good at his other job, as the Parsifal’s first mate; this season viewers saw King spring into action when the yacht nearly ran aground during an early morning wind storm.

King has always gravitated to the water. Growing up in Knysna, a city in South Africa known for its large lagoon, he’d often hitchhike to the beach after school. “My mom would come and pick me up after work. I’d see her sitting in a car when it was getting dark flashing her lights at me,” he recalls. He became a “yachtie” by accident: During a gap year in Majorca, he learned quickly the South African rand doesn’t go very far in Europe. Unwilling to ask his mom, a single parent, for money, he decided to go “dock-walking.”

“It’s the most demoralizing thing in the world,” he says. “You go from one boat to another: ‘Hi, do you have work for me?’ ‘No.’ ‘Hi, do you have work for me?’ ‘No.’” Eventually, he got a job on Creole , “a lovely old classic schooner built in 1927,” and he hasn’t looked back since. “I kept getting paid to travel and I was making good money. Here I am, 12 years later.” King says the hardest part of yachtie life is being a hemisphere away from his family: His mom is in South Africa, his brother in New Zealand.

The job also makes it hard to settle down — something King swears he wants to do sooner rather than later. Mostly, though, he’s eager to film more “Sailing Yacht,” should the powers-that-be at Bravo decide to bring him back for another sail. (The network has not yet made any announcements about Season 4; King says he didn’t get the call about Season 3 until a few weeks before it began filming.)

How ‘The Real Housewives’ glam arms race gets its cast into hot water

Bravo’s glittery reality franchise has always encouraged competitive consumption. But cast members’ financial ‘smoke and mirrors’ can lead to trouble.

June 22, 2021

Tell me how you ended up on “Below Deck Sailing Yacht.” Had you heard about the show before you were cast?

If you work on boats, you hear about “Below Deck,” but I don’t actually watch any reality TV to be honest. I’d never watched the show prior to getting cast.

There’s a woman named Diana Wallace. She’s the casting agent. She joins yachtie pages all over Europe and the States. And then she just sends [messages] out to random people. So I received a few messages from her asking me to be on the show. I was like, “It’s COVID. What’s the worst that can happen?” Never thought I was gonna get the job. Done two seasons and never looked back.

Do you watch the show now?

Some episodes. I send them to my mom. She’s my number one fan and my number one critic, so she’ll let me know which episodes I have to watch. She’ll be like, “Gary, I wasn’t very happy with you on that episode.” Then I go watch it and see what I did wrong. My mom’s proud of me but she’s also like, “Gary, come on. This is not how I brought you up.” Obviously, I’m a mother’s boy.

What has been the hardest thing for you to watch back?

Just hooking up with girls on TV. It’s a little bit cringe. Also just getting drunk on TV. It comes with the industry. We need to blow off some steam. But I don’t think it’s a very good look, us being so pissed while on TV.

How do the yachties on the show compare to those in real life? Is everyone really as crazy as they are on “Below Deck”?

I think the yachties in real life are a lot crazier than they are on “Below Deck.” If “Below Deck” actually knew exactly what went on on boats, this show would go on for thousands of episodes.

So you think “Below Deck” is tamer than real life?

To a certain extent, yes. There are some things that are far-fetched [on the show], like the charter guest, Chuck [who said he could get better food at a ballpark and left a terrible tip]. You wouldn’t really have a charter guest that would say something like that, because these people have got class, and [outside of the show] they’re paying upwards of $200,000 a week to charter this boat. But how the crew parties afterwards — that’s pretty accurate. I’ve heard stories that I don’t really want to share but are a lot worse than what happens on “Below Deck.”

So the guests in real life are not as bad as the ones on Bravo?

As a rule. On sailing boats, I think the guests have got more class. They come from old money. But friends that have worked on motorboats, some of the stories they’ve told me it’s like, “How could you even work on that boat?” But a charter’s a charter. You work for a week, you kind of forget all the bull— that happened because you’ve got a €5,000 tip.

How would you describe the difference between people who work on sailing yachts and people who work on motor yachts? Are there stereotypes about these groups?

People on a motorboat, they’re just there for the paycheck. Any motorboat you work on is pretty much the same. Whereas in a sailing boat, we’re out there for the adventure. We’re going from A to B sailing, getting propelled by the elements. And I find the clientele come for the experience on a sailing boat. If you’ve got money, any Tom, Dick or Harry can go charter a motorboat.

Do you get this attention from women when you are on dry land?

Well, clearly not, because I’m still single. I don’t know what it is about the boats.

It’s a tough industry for relationships.

For sure. I was actually chatting to Glenn [Shephard, the captain] today about going on rotation [after the summer charter season is over], maybe do three months on, three months off, so I can start settling down, try and meet someone. I can’t really commit to anyone when I’m going to leave in a week’s time. I’m starting to wig out about it: Am I going to be single for the rest of my life? I grew up without a father, and I want to make sure that I’m there for my kids, if I ever have the chance to have kids one day.

Fans are definitely shipping you and Daisy, as you surely know. What’s going on between you two?

I’ve definitely got a soft spot for Daisy. We still chat often. When I was in London, we had lunch together. We have a great relationship. But also, after watching that episode where she told the charter guests, “I would never date Gary. I’m not an idiot,” that hurt me a little bit. This is maybe my problem. When I like a girl, they don’t feel the same way for me. And vice versa. Because that’s what happened with me and Ashley this season. That’s another reason why I keep thinking, “Am I going to be single for the rest of my life?”

So you were genuinely hurt when she said that?

100%. I’m not gonna force anything to happen between Daisy and I. I definitely have chemistry with her, whether she agrees with that or not. But things like that [comment] hurt a little bit. Maybe she was just trying to make a joke in front of the charter guests. I just think her wording could have been different if it was a joke.

‘This is our Super Bowl’: At BravoCon, a reality TV empire has its moment in the sun

Bravo built its brand on “Real Housewives” and other addictive reality soaps. With the inaugural BravoCon, it gave fans an event worthy of pilgrimage.

Nov. 18, 2019

Do you think maybe she was being defensive?

Possibly, I don’t want to look too much into it. But I’m single. I’ve got a lot of time to think about things.

A lot of viewers were upset by your encounter with Ashley Marti and thought her behavior towards you constituted sexual assault because you were drunk. You have repeatedly said that you don’t feel this way. But did that incident make you reflect on the hook-up culture in your industry and the difficulties of drawing boundaries when you live and work with people in such close quarters?

I’m not proud of all my actions [this season]. And I don’t ever want to do that again. That Ashley scenario was a big realization for me.

I want the next girl who I start hooking up with to maybe be my girlfriend. I haven’t had a girlfriend for five years now. I can’t remember what it feels like. I don’t want to just hook up with girls and have one-night stands. I say that now, but if I come back for another season, who knows what will happen. [laughs]

There must be some tension there for you — trying to be a better person but also wanting to be entertaining .

I’d like to [come back for another season] because then I could show people that I have turned over a new leaf and there is a different side to me than just hooking up with chicks. Most of my best friends are females. But on Instagram , people say I’m a womanizer, which is the furthest thing from the truth.

Are there things you do differently when the cameras aren’t there?

We definitely wouldn’t sail before they’ve had breakfast. That’s ridiculous. But also, the charter guests on [the show] only have three days, two nights. They’re still paying a lot of money to be on the boat. They want to sail as much as possible.

I don’t hook up with my stewardesses off-camera [that much], believe it or not. It’s happened once or twice, but it’s not like it happens on the TV show. Also, we don’t go out every three nights, because we’ll have a 10-day charter, and then [a few days for] turnaround, then a seven-day charter. We’ll be lucky if we can all go ashore to have a dinner and have a few glasses of wine.

What’s your favorite place to sail?

I absolutely love Greece. There is always wind. You can always find an island that has no one else around. The water is beautiful. The food is just phenomenal.

Glenn has a very interesting leadership style compared to some of the other captains in the “Below Deck” universe, who are a bit tougher. How would you describe it?

Glenn is very gentle. But also I’d say Glenn leads by example. If someone makes a mistake, Glenn would be the first person to say, “Listen, you make mistakes, you’re only human.” He’s just so patient and so humble. I think everyone needs a Glenn in their life, to be honest with you.

You and Colin have a very entertaining rapport.

We are like chalk and cheese. He’s very sensible and I’m not. He thinks before he speaks; I don’t. I think we both live vicariously through each other, me doing silly things, and Colin being the sensible person who I can always look up to. I actually just spoke to him yesterday, telling him I miss him. It’s such a bromance. As soon as we chat, it’s like, “Hey, loser. How’s it going?”

It seems like you and Daisy clashed at first but really grew fond of each other this season. Is that just the editing or did it feel that way to you as well?

I don’t know if both of us were in denial about liking each other. But it was like two little kids, when they like each other, they fight like cats and dogs. I’m still trying to work that one out, to be honest. But it was my highlight coming out of the season, being such good friends with Daisy. It means a lot to me. If it has to happen between Daisy and I — not that I’m saying it will — but if it has to happen, then so be it.

Daisy Kelliher and Gary King Share Steamy Kiss in ‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’ Season 3 Trailer (Exclusive)

Welcome back! The first look at season 3 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht brings plenty of drama — and that includes an unexpected make out session between Daisy Kelliher and Gary King .

“All of you are forgetting the f–king lack of basic respect. You don’t f–k somebody and then f–k somebody else,” the chief stew says in Us Weekly ‘s exclusive sneak peek at season 3, which returns on Monday, February 21.

In the clip, the new crew is seen pairing off throughout the charter season and that leads to Daisy and Gary making out in the hot tub . According to a press release from Bravo, the pair “leave their contentious dynamic behind” and instead will “bring their relationship into uncharted waters” during season 3.

“Meanwhile, Daisy’s desire for smooth sailing with her team is endangered as resentments between the stews emerge and threaten the hierarchy of the boat,” the statement continues. “In the galley, chef Marcos strives for the same standard of excellence he is accustomed to on land but is pushed to his limits to sustain that at sea. With a twisted love pentagon, a litany of gruesome injuries and a dangerous, potentially vessel-crippling accident that threatens the safety of everyone on board, this is Parsifal III’s most epic charter season yet.”

Gary and Daisy’s professional relationship had its ups and downs when they first joined Below Deck Sailing Yacht in season 2. The first mate found himself at odds with the chief stew when he tried not to help her during charters and later spoke badly about her to the cameras.

“I was quite offended, because I constantly went up to Gary confronting him, being like, ‘I heard this. I feel like you have a problem with me. Is there an issue? I’m not offended. Let’s talk about this,’ because I liked him a lot, and he’s a good worker,” Daisy explained during an interview with Entertainment Tonight in May 2021. “I just didn’t get what the issue was with me, and I constantly created this safe environment for him to talk to me. He was like, ‘No. There’s no issue. There’s no issues.’ So, I’m like, oh, OK. Then I go back and it was just this constant circle.”

At the time, Daisy questioned whether Gary’s behavior came from him being “intimidated” by her.

“I think he was kind of scared of me,” she added. “I think he likes to be liked. I think he didn’t like that I was quite upfront, and I think he was a bit. like, ‘I don’t know how to handle this.’ So, I think his way of handling it was bitching and maybe stirring a bit.”

The department heads later aired out their issues during the reunion episode in June 2021 .

“You clearly also hated me and thought that I was a giant bitch,” Daisy told Gary, who replied, “I may have said you were acting bitchy, I never said you’re a bitch.”

The first mate clarified that his words were taken out of context, adding, “This is stupid. We’re not even arguing over this because I never called you a bitch. I might have said you were being bitchy, which is not the same. Being bitchy and being a bitch is completely different.”

I think he didn't like that I was quite upfront, and I think he was a bit. like, ‘I don't know how to handle this.’ So, I think his way of handling it was bitching and maybe stirring a bit." The department heads later aired out their issues during the reunion episode in June 2021 . "You clearly also hated me and thought that I was a giant bitch," Daisy told Gary, who replied, "I may have said you were acting bitchy, I never said you're a bitch.” The first mate clarified that his words were taken out of context, adding, "This is stupid. We're not even arguing over this because I never called you a bitch. I might have said you were being bitchy, which is not the same. Being bitchy and being a bitch is completely different." Captain Glenn Shephard and Colin MacRae will also return in season 3 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht . They will be joined by newcomers Marcos Spaziani , Gabriela Barragan , Ashley Marti , Kelsie Goglia and Tom Pearson . Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 returns to Bravo with a supersized premiere on Monday, February 21, at 8 p.m. ET. Scroll down to meet the rest of the Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 crew: [podcast_block]

Captain Glenn Shephard (Captain)

Glenn returns as captain — a role he has had since the spinoff premiered in 2020.

Although Glenn "knows how to keep his cool," his Bravo bio shares that he is calm "until his limits are pushed" by others. The trailer hints that the captain may have several fires to put out onboard when the boat ends up almost running aground overnight.

Daisy Kelliher (Chief Stew)

The yachting legacy is coming back as chief stew after first joining the show in season 2. 

"Daisy has a lot to live up to when she returns to Parsifal III after a successful last season and can always be counted on to give you a piece of her mind and let her hair down to have a good time," her bio reveals.

Colin MacRae (Chief Engineer)

Colin is another cast member who is back for another season on Parsifal III.

"With a big heart and an impish smile, Colin is more than happy to lend a hand anywhere that he might be needed. However, when Colin’s kindness gets mistaken for weakness, fireworks fly," his Bravo bio reads.

Gary King (First Mate)

After a tumultuous introduction to the Below Deck franchise, Gary is giving things another go.

According to his bio, Gary may rule the deck department "with an iron fist," but he is also "never the type to leave a party first."

"I feel like I was the case of a little drama last season. I am not going to have sex with the first chick that throws herself at me," the first mate says in a confessional before locking lips with several of his costars. "Gary's new leaf has been turned!"

Marcos Spaziani (Chef)

Marcos joins Parsifal III with over 10 years of experience as a chef — which includes attending culinary school in Venezuela.

Offscreen, Marcos is opening a restaurant in Los Angeles, while onscreen viewers saw him suffering a serious head injury.

Gabriela Barragan (Second Stew)

The second stew, who has worked as a stewardess and a deckhand in the past, is "eager to deliver five-star service to the demanding charter guests."

Gabriela opens up about her experience in the industry in the clip, saying, "The thing about yachting that makes it difficult is not the guests and not living on a boat — it's the f--king elements."

Ashley Marti (Third Stew)

The New York native made the decision to join yachting during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

"Since then, she’s made her way through the East Coast of the United States and The Bahamas and is looking forward to future experiences aboard Parsifal III," her bio reads. 

Kelsie Goglia (Deckhand)

"A true adventurer, Kelsie loves to spend her time outdoors, especially in the water, so it’s no surprise she calls San Diego her home in the off season," her Bravo bio states. "Kelsie is thrilled to bring her determination and work ethic aboard Parsifal III."

Tom Pearson (Deckhand)

The deckhand has a history with speed boats and water sports, but the trailer teases Tom's interest in romance more. He shows an interest in Ashley, who doesn't seem to return his feelings at first.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What happens on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3? 

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

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

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

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 cast 

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

Who's leaving Below Deck Sailing Yacht?

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

I want to thank everyone for the big support and great comments. I never thought in my life I would bring so much inspiration to so many ppl and for that I’m very grateful and also blessed!

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Below Deck Sailing Yacht’s Daisy Kelliher and Gary King share steamy hot tub kiss as season 3 trailer drops

Below Deck stars Daisy Kelliher and Gary King shared a shock kiss in the season three trailer, suggesting that there are rocky waters ahead.

The chief stewardess and first mate came to blows during the second series of the Below Deck Sailing Yacht spin-off, leading to rows on the boat.

They were confirmed to return to the cast for another stint on board, alongside Captain Glenn Shephard and first officer Colin MacRae – with a first look suggesting that the tensions give way to surprising passion in Menorca.

After footage showed a string of racy cast hook-ups on board, the stew could be seen yelling: ‘All of you are forgetting the f**king lack of basic respect. 

‘You don’t f**k somebody and then f**k somebody else.’

She could then be seen passionately kissing Gary in the hot tub after a night out, suggesting that more drama could be on the horizon…

A synopsis from Bravo, via Us Weekly, teases that they ‘leave their contentious dynamic behind’ and take their relationship ‘into uncharted waters’.

‘Meanwhile, Daisy’s desire for smooth sailing with her team is endangered as resentments between the stews emerge and threaten the hierarchy of the boat,’ it read.

‘In the galley, chef Marcos strives for the same standard of excellence he is accustomed to on land but is pushed to his limits to sustain that at sea. 

‘With a twisted love pentagon, a litany of gruesome injuries and a dangerous, potentially vessel-crippling accident that threatens the safety of everyone on board, this is Parsifal III’s most epic charter season yet.’

Captain Glenn will once again be at the helm of the luxury boat, alongside Daisy, Gary and Colin – with the gang welcoming a new cast.

Chef Marcos Spaziani is taking over from Natasha De Bourg, while stews Gabriela Barragan and Ashley Marti will make up the interior crew.

Gary and Colin will have their hands full with new deckhands Kelsie Goglia and Tom Pearson.

Thankfully, we’ll have a front row seat to the drama without having to scrape together our pennies for a charter trip, as Sailing Yacht will air in the US next month.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 premieres on Bravo at 8pm ET on February 21, with episodes released the following day on hayu.

Gary and Daisy's Relationship Has Endured Rough Waters on 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht'

Jun. 6 2023, Updated 12:12 p.m. ET

The relationship between Gary King and Daisy Kelliher from Below Deck Sailing Yacht hasn't been easy for either of them. Or, for Colin MacRae, Daisy's Season 4 love interest.

After Daisy and Gary entered the Below Deck universe in 2021, fans of the Bravo series have continuously speculated that the reality stars are more than friends. And they aren’t the only ones who see their dynamic that way.

Gary has spoken out about his and Daisy's connection and their past is a big part of their storyline in Season 4. Especially since Daisy is ready to move on. Let’s dive into Gary and Daisy’s relationship timeline and how they ended up where they are today.

Gary and Daisy’s relationship timeline started out rocky during Season 2 of ‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht.’

The chief stew and first officer first graced fans' screens in 2021 when the second season of the Below Deck spin-off series debuted on Bravo. However, the duo did not hit it off right away.

Despite holding separate job responsibilities, Gary and Daisy’s personalities frequently clashed during their time in Season 2. So much so, the Irish reality star revealed during her first Below Deck Sailing Yacht reunion that she didn’t know if she would want to be co-workers with Gary again.

“You clearly hated me and thought I was a giant b--ch,” the chief stew told the New Zealand native. However, Gary denied the allegation and explained that he only said that she was “ acting b--chy.”

Gary and Daisy’s relationship turned passionate during Season 3 of ‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht.’

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gary King (@king_gk)

While it’s no secret Gary and Daisy’s relationship started rocky during Season 2 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , their dynamic shifted significantly during Season 3.

When the Bravo stars reunited for their second stint on the reality series, they engaged in a steamy makeout session in the hot tub during a night out.

The kiss was so passionate that Gary and Daisy almost slept together that night. But despite the palpable sexual tension between the two, the co-stars continued insisting that there was nothing romantic happening between them.

In fact, Daisy revealed on her Instagram story in January 2022 that she didn’t remember the kiss at all. “No one’s mind was more blown than mine the next day,” Daisy admitted, per Us Weekly . “I have no recollection of that kiss.”

Gary revealed that he and Daisy hooked up in the ‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’ Season 4 mid-season trailer.

After being caught in a love triangle with Gary and Colin MacRae during Season 4 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , the first officer revealed shocking information during the mid-season trailer that altered his relationship with Daisy.

When Gary got jealous about the chief stew’s hook-up with the chief engineer, Daisy immediately put him in his place. “You f---ing could have had me a million times over, and you didn’t want me,” she said in the trailer. “Now you can’t have me, and now you f---ing want me?”

Then, Gary dropped the ultimate bombshell. “Having sex with you was f---ing amazing,” he told her.

When Daisy realized that cameras picked up on the first officer’s comment, she tried silencing Gary so he wouldn’t spill any more secrets about their relationship.

And when Colin learned that his new flame hooked up with the Below Deck Sailing Yacht star, he couldn’t help but comment. “The chemistry they have and the way they look at each other — I thought it was all friends,” the chief engineer admitted. “It all makes sense now.”

Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.

'Below Deck Sailing Yacht': Gary CONFIRMS relationship with Daisy after kissing Ashley

After the messy drama with Sydney Zaruba and Alli Dore season 2 of 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht', Gary King kicked off the new charter season determined not to sleep with anybody immediately after the first team outing. If you're wondering if the first officer of Parsifal III managed to keep his promise to himself, then the answer has to be a resounding no. In fact, Gary found himself locking lips with new stewardess Ashley Marti way before the first charter and the team outing!

But that isn't the most shocking thing on season 3 of 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' . The season trailer featured Gary kissing his former enemy/ chief stewardess Daisy Kelliher as well. It looks like that kiss may have worked its charm as Gary recently confirmed that he was dating his co-star on Instagram. Daisy shared a snap of the duo enjoying a ride in Disneyland. She playfully captioned the picture, "Taking the big child out for day." Fans immediately began bombarding the star if she was dating Gary. Even though Daisy didn't confirm the fans' speculation, Gary did. He shared a video of Daisy and him laughing on his Instagram story after he confirmed that they were dating.

While we will have to wait and watch the season to see what pushed Daisy into Gary's arms, there's a lot of drama awaiting us this season. The premiere episode kicked off with a bubbling love triangle between Ashley, Gary, and new deckhand Tom Pearson. Both Ashley and Tom were drawn to each other as soon as they met. But later, Ashley changed her mind and shifted her focus to Gary after she learned Tom's age. Ashley, who is 23-year-old herself, revealed that she doesn't date men who are her age or younger, and since Tom was her age, she felt that he was too young for her and passed him up and approached Gary.

Ashley wasted no time in letting Gary know that she was interested in him and even initiated a kiss. While Gary was enjoying the attention from Ashley, he, however, made it very clear in his confessional that he wasn't going to jump into anything serious with her and also appeared to be a bit concerned about stepping on his friend Tom's toes by showing interest in her. Tom, on the other hand, decided to step back from pursuing Ashley as he felt that he needed to maintain a good relationship with his boss Gary and would be in his best interests not to chase after Ashley if Gary too was interested in her. It looks like there's going to be some interesting love triangles awaiting us this season.

'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 3 airs every Monday at 8/7 on Bravo.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht 's Love Triangle Comes to a Dramatic End in Tear-Filled Reunion Preview

Where do below deck sailing yacht 's daisy kelliher, gary king & colin macrae stand after their complicated season four love triangle see what brings the chief stew to tears in reunion teaser..

The Below Deck Sailing Yacht reunion will be anything but smooth sailing.

In E! News' exclusive sneak peek at the Bravo series' season four reunion on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen , the messy love triangle between Daisy Kelliher , Gary King and Colin MacRae comes to a dramatic head as the trio of boat mates try to make sense of their feelings for each other.

After Daisy declares she's "disgusted" in the teaser, Gary sheds more light on the boatmance he had with Stew Mads Herrera while also pursuing Daisy. "It was strange," he says of Mads, "because he would come and climb into my bed every night and try to have sex with me."

And while Daisy and Gary have a complicated history of flirting  that started long before her romance with Colin this season, it appears that Colin has officially moved on from her following filming.

"This is why the relationship turned toxic," he declares in the preview. "You can't reason with this woman."

Colin's harsh statement causes Daisy to start sobbing and walk off camera, shocking the rest of the cast and host Andy Cohen .

Unfortunately, fans will have to wait until the two-part reunion to find out if Daisy is still romantically involved with either Gary or Colin today.

Daisy and Colin first took their relationship from business to pleasure on BDSY 's May 29 episode when they shared a passionate kiss.

The chief stew and chief engineer's budding romance only caused problems for her ongoing flirtationship with Gary, with the situation causing the deck lead to reveal  during the June 12 episode that he and Daisy had sex twice after last season, further complicating the love triangle.

As for where everyone stands heading into the July 10 season finale? Well, Gary and Daisy shared a kiss on the June 26 episode with him even trying to woo her away from Colin.

"When you're with me, it feels like time slows down," Gary told Daisy. "How amazing is that? I think that's one of the most romantic things I might have ever said to you."

As for Colin's reaction to learning about his boat mates' PDA? "What the f--k?" he said in a confessional. "Gary is a desperate man. His ego feels attacked if he doesn't have female attention. And now that I'm in the thick of it, it's a bit of a sh--ty situation to be in."

The Below Deck Sailing Yacht season finale airs Monday, July 10, starting at 8 p.m. on Bravo. The reunion kicks off Monday, July 17, at 9:08 p.m. followed by part two on Tuesday, July 18, at 8 p.m.

Screen Rant

Below deck sailing yacht: why fans think daisy & gary are dating.

Fans of Below Deck Sailing Yacht can't seem to kick the idea that Daisy Kelliher and Gary King are dating one another after filming season 3.

Followers of Below Deck Sailing Yacht can't seem to ignore the romantic tension built up between Daisy Kelliher and Gary King even though they still deny they are a couple. Even though the rumor mill has been working overtime, the two yachties are still not a couple. However, Bravo fans are still keeping their fingers crossed that these two co-stars will get together one day.

Gary first met Daisy when he worked as the first mate during BDSY season 2, and she worked as the chief stew. BDSY season 3 is in full swing , and Gary is up to his old ways of making all the women on the vessel fall in love with him. It seems that both Daisy and Gary played up their close relationship with the media back in February after a trip to Disneyland. The two snapped photos together, with Gary even sharing a video seemingly confirming their relationship. Sadly, it all seemed to be a PR stunt to trick fans into thinking they were together.

Even though Bravo viewers may have been duped, some still can't kick the feeling that Daisy and Gary are together. The two can often be seen on one another's social media, either commenting or taking snaps together. After  Daisy and Gary shared a hot tub make-out session during the second episode of BDSY season 3, it has been difficult for fans to imagine Daisy and Gary not in a relationship. Daisy, for her part, has tried to put the gossip to bed once and for all. The chief stew took to her own social media to address their love affair, noting she and Gary and just "good friends."

It didn't help squash the rumors when the newest deckhand on Parsifal III , Barnaby Birkbeck, posted a photo of the duo on social media, noting it was great to see the "gorgeous couple" in London. Gary and Daisy have been seen galavanting all around England together and don't hold back on sharing their cute photos. To Bravo viewers,  Daisy and Gary would be the perfect  reality TV couple; however, it seems they will never be more than simply good friends and co-workers.

Love may not be in the air for Daisy and Gary yet, but it could happen in the future. As BDSY  fans know, Gary has a way with women and often causes more than one woman on board to lust after him. Daisy could be interested in him one day, despite her saying multiple times she has zero romantic feelings for Gary. Some of Daisy's stews also hinted that they feel their boss may have a crush on the first mate, but only time will tell if the two will get together one day.

Gary King Shares a Surprising Update on His Friendships with Colin MacRae and Daisy Kelliher

Following the Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 reunion, Gary revealed where things stand with Colin and Daisy.

The intense second and final part of the  Below Deck Sailing Yacht   Season 4 reunion concluded with an unfortunate update from  Daisy Kelliher , Colin MacRae , and Gary King  about where they stood in their friendships with one another.

How to Watch

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

After becoming a close-knit trio on Seasons 2 and 3 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht,  Gary, Daisy, and Colin’s dynamic became complicated on the fourth season due to their love triangle . Once the charter season concluded, Daisy and Colin’s fling came to an end , and Daisy stopped speaking to Gary.

Just a few days after Part 2 of the Below Deck Sailing Yacht reunion aired, Gary took to Instagram to share another update on his friendships with his  Parsifal III   crewmates. Keep reading for a refresher on what was said during the reunion and to find out what Gary revealed in his post.

Gary King’s Friendships with Colin MacRae and Daisy Kelliher

On July 21, just two days after the reunion wrapped up in the  Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen   Clubhouse, Gary posted a selfie with Colin and Daisy on his Instagram feed. In the caption of his photo, Gary shared a positive update on where he stands with the engineer and chief stew today. 

“Contrary to what many of you may believe, I am still friends with Colin and Daisy,” he wrote. “Last season of [ Below Deck Sailing Yacht ] was not my best, having watched some episodes I know that I have a lot of work and growing to do and will do everything to be a better person.”

Gary went on to address the viewers who had been critical of his actions when Season 4 aired. 

“To all those people that constantly comment negatively and try [to] bring me down, sticks and stones! You will not bring me down,” he continued. “For all the people who support me and message nice things, thank you[,] appreciate it all.”

Daisy Gets Real About Her Love Triangle with Colin and Gary: "I'm Never Gonna Win"

What daisy, colin, and gary said during the reunion.

Though Gary is now in a good place with Daisy and Colin, things were tense for the three on Part 2 of the reunion.

After Colin learned that Daisy and Gary had secretly hooked up before Season 4, he found it difficult to trust his longtime friend. Gary also had mixed feelings about the idea of Daisy and Colin pursuing a romance . 

On the reunion, Daisy noted that Colin made her feel “guilty” about her relationship with Gary while they were together, so she ended up cutting off communication with the first mate after filming. Once Colin and Daisy ended their fling, the engineer was apparently able to move forward with Gary.

“We’re friends. Gary messaged me yesterday, you know, [asking] how am I feeling going into today. I said, ‘Yeah, I’m going to speak my mind, I’m going to say some things, but nothing I haven’t said to your face about how I was feeling,’” Colin said during the reunion. “So, yeah, we’re OK. I forgave both of them… It’s fresh, there’s a lot of emotion. I think Gary and I are going to be OK, and we’ll see about Daisy and I, but I’m open for it.”

Gary agreed with the engineer, adding, “I think Colin and I are pretty good. We still chat every now and then.”

He didn’t feel as confident about the future of his friendship with Daisy, however.

“Dais, also I guess, yeah, it’s a rocky, rocky relationship,” Gary said. “If we ever have to work together in the future, it’ll be a professional relationship, but I don’t ever think we’re going to be how we were, so, yeah, unfortunately. That’s just me being honest.”

For her part, Daisy shared that she wanted to move “onwards and upwards” with Gary and Colin. According to Gary’s Instagram post, it looks as if there may be a path forward for the three.

Here's Where the Cast of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 3 Is Now

Did the drama continue?

Since it debuted back in 2020, Bravo’s spin-off Below Deck Sailing Yacht has certainly delivered some of the most dramatic feuds and steamy boatmances, and it looks as if Season 3 is no different.

While Captain Glenn Shephard is returning to take the lead of the Parsifal III, there’s a lot that’s changed, including a brand new crew and filming location. The cast will be sailing through the stunning waters of Menorca, Spain, but they’ll definitely be hitting some rocky moments, especially when it comes to returning crew members Gary and Daisy’s love-hate romance.

Well, it seems as if there’s more to come as Bravo teases one of the most unexpected crew hookups in Below Deck history. Say what? With so much having happened during the cast’s filming last summer, what exactly have they been up to since?

Captain Glenn Shephard

Daisy kelliher - chief stew.

When Season 3 wrapped, Daisy Kelliher, who returned aboard the Parsifal III as chief stew, took some much-needed vacation time. Kelliher hit up Antigua in the Caribbean , which is where she rang in the New Year and has remained since filming. Considering her ongoing love-hate relationship with fellow castmate Gary King, Daisy remains single for the time being, but she’s certainly not fallen out of love with traveling. Despite appearing to be living the life so many wish they could, Daisy revealed she’s been suffering from severe separation anxiety as she shared just how hectic and demanding her line of work could be in a February 13, 2022 post on Instagram

Gary King - First Officer

Being involved in Bravo drama is nothing new for Gary, especially after his steamy season with Daisy. Well, after wrapping up season three in Menorca, Gary took some time off to reunite with his family; sharing an adorable photo of him and his niece, Ava , on Instagram. The Bravo star is currently in St. Lucia , soaking up the sun, but he hasn’t managed to escape the drama. After sharing a kiss with Daisy Kelliher in the most recent season three trailer, fans have been wondering if he and Daisy are an item. Well, despite the rumors, Gary and Daisy aren’t dating, after confirming to E! News that the two are “just friends.”

Colin McRae - Chief Engineer

Colin McRae has returned to his old stomping grounds aboard the Parsifal III, and considering his love for sailing, fans aren’t surprised to see the Bravo star back on their screens. Since wrapping up last summer’s filming, it didn't take too much time before Colin and fellow Chief Stew Daisy reunited back in December. Since then, Colin has given most of his time to his YouTube channel, Sailing Parlay , which features an array of videos showcasing his sailing adventures. Things are clearly going well for Colin’s online presence, considering he was rewarded with a YouTube 100,000 subscriber count plaque back on February 6. "It has been 4 years of VERY hard work, possibly the hardest of any sailing channel out there that I know of so far, and to reach this milestone is so gratifying for us,” he wrote on Instagram.

Marcos Spaziani - Chef

Say hello to Bravo’s newest chef, Marcos Spaziani. The Venezuela native has been in the industry for over 10 years and is bringing his culinary expertise to the waters of Menorca. It didn’t take much time for Marcos to make a name for himself following season three of Below Deck Sailing Yacht . Spaziani is currently settled in California and has decided to open up his very own restaurant in Koreatown, Los Angeles. Marcos and fellow chef Louis Huh have been working diligently on their newest business venture, ML Eats LA .

Gabriela Barragan - 2nd Stew

Gabriela Barragan reigns from San Diego and while she’s new to the Below Deck crew, she is certainly no stranger to yachting . Barragan has worked as both a stewardess and a deckhand over the course of the last two years and has continued her yachtie life after filming season three of Sailing Yacht . Gabriela spent January and February working a yacht in St. Thomas. After living and working the island life, Gabriela took to Instagram to share that all of her “ wildest dreams are coming true ,” and considering she’s spending her days sailing through crystal clear waters, we don’t blame her.

Ashley Marti - 3rd Stew

Ashley Marti is making her Below Deck Sailing Yacht debut, and she’s relatively new to the industry. Marti first began working on yachts at the start of the pandemic. Although she reigns from New York , Marti is currently a West Coast gal as she takes in the Los Angeles sun alongside a few of her castmates. Since wrapping up Season 3, Ashley traveled through the United States and the Bahamas and is adamant about returning back aboard the Parsifal III, so Bravo fans just might be seeing more of her in the future.

Kelsi Goglia - Deckhand

Kelsi Goglia is making her Bravo debut this season of Sailing Yacht. After catching the travel bug following a trip to Croatia, Kelsi has been a yachtie ever since, and it doesn’t look like she’s turning back any time soon. She currently resides in San Diego, California, and loves herself some travel, as most Below Deck crew members do. While her romantic life remains a mystery, it’s clear she’s too busy roaming the world to settle down just yet.

Tom Pearson - Deckhand

Growing up on a lake , Tom Pearson is no stranger to the water, but he’s brand new to the Bravo family. The Below Deck Sailing Yacht deckhand was spotted getting his boatmance on, making us all wonder if he’ll be headed toward hot waters. Well, it seems as if Pearson remains single, but his life is anything but boring. After returning home to Windermere, England, Tom has kept busy surfing through the British waters but has taken quite a liking to his new image. The Bravo star has been attending a number of events following his newfound fame, including his most recent appearance in London, England for the launch of a new app on January 20.

Which Below Deck Series Is the Best and Which Is the Worst?

With various iterations of the Below Deck franchise, it’s only natural to rank them from best to worst.

The first iteration of “ Below Deck ” began airing on Bravo in the summer of 2013. A brief 11 episodes revealed a reality show different from the usual “Real Housewives” fare. In this case, the wealthy people vacationing aboard a luxury yacht were not the show’s stars, but instead served as rotating groups of charter guests. The real stars of the series were the hardworking crew of the boat, the peasants who at night rest their heads in bunkbeds located — you guessed it — below deck.

The peasants, sometimes called sea rats, have to actually work — and in very unflattering outfits. Again, not your typical Bravo aesthetic. The drama stems not only from their interactions with each other (boat-mances are inevitable), but also their interactions with the often demanding charter guests.

Since the inaugural season, four other versions of “Below Deck” have joined the franchise, and there are now only three weeks a year that pass without a new, original episode from one “Below Deck” series or another. I didn’t stumble upon the brilliance of “Below Deck” until early in the pandemic, but since then I have watched every season of every iteration at least twice. (Embarrassingly, I’ve seen one certain season at least a dozen times.)

Hop on board to see which spinoffs in the franchise have — and have not — earned their stripes. Ranking them was more difficult than anticipated, at least for the middle three on my list. I’ve also highlighted each franchise’s best and most necessary seasons, in case you’d like to watch (or rewatch) with potential bingeing shortcuts in mind. Let’s set sail!

The choice to place the flagship “Below Deck” series first in my rankings may seem like an easy out, but I’ll give you three specific reasons the original will forever reign supreme.

Kate Chastain, Chief Stew for seasons 2 to 7, is the epitome of cool. 

Kate Chastain’s ability to remain unbothered is #lifegoals. She’s the show’s raison d’être. Don’t get me wrong: Captain Lee Rosbach , who steered the ship in seasons 1 to 10, is iconic and noteworthy. But he wouldn’t be the Captain Lee we know and love, the curmudgeonly Stud of the Sea, without Chastain providing some levity and humanity.

Despite Chastain being significantly younger than Captain Lee, they’re the dream team, as close as family. Their friendship hasn’t shown signs of sinking even after both left the show — in real life and on television in the form of recap shows, most recently “Couch Talk With Captain Lee and Kate.”

Season 3 of the original “Below Deck” is among the top five most memorable seasons of reality TV. 

The Season 3 crew is the perfect mix, but there’s one cast member who stands out as more memorable than all the rest: Raquel “Rocky” Dakota . Rocky’s most hysterical antic? Taking off her clothes and diving overboard in just her underwear in an attempt to escape the boat. This was her only season on the show, and it was glorious.

The near-fatal man-overboard incident in Season 6 put the “real” in “reality TV.” 

The infamous “fourth wall” between the boat’s crew and the show’s crew disappeared instantly during Season 6, when an errant line pulled deckhand Ashton Pienaar overboard. A cameraman had the foresight to release the line. If he had not, Ashton was within seconds of dying. Just writing about the incident made me tear up all over again.

There are many other people and events that put the original “Below Deck” a notch above the rest, but these three standouts cement it as the best show in the franchise.

Bingeing Shortcut: Chastain’s six-season run is impressive and shows a full character arc. Watching seasons 2 to 7 will give you more than enough of an introduction to the Below Deck franchise, while providing something that resembles a long-term storyline via her personal growth — not to mention her loving relationship with Captain Lee.

“Below Deck Sailing Yacht” was an exciting third installment when it joined the franchise in 2020, since the first two series take place on motor yachts and this one introduced a sailing yacht. Four seasons in, the core cast of Captain Glenn Shephard , Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher , Engineer Colin Macrae, and Chief Officer Gary King is solid.

Kelliher is considered the second-best Chief Stew of all the shows (second to Queen Kate Chastain), and her friendship-turned-love-triangle with King and Macrae is gut-wrenching television. Plus, Season 2 results in a baby for two cast members!

Bingeing Shortcut: Not only can you skip the first season, but you should skip the first season. It was dreadful, and the only person who stuck around for the following seasons was the affable Captain Glenn. Seasons 2 to 4 are must-see TV, but I don’t want the first season to throw you off!

I wrestled with the placement of “Below Deck Mediterranean” — the first spinoff in the franchise — the most. It premiered in 2016, just three years after the original, and recently finished airing its eighth season. For now, “Below Deck Mediterranean” gets a third-place ranking that could drop in future years. I don’t see it rising. Captain Sandy Yawn is an inconsistent micromanager, and there’s too much turnover among the crew.

The primary reason to watch “Below Deck Mediterranean” is the dynamic between Captain Sandy (who started in Season 2) and the seasons 1 to 5 Chief Stew, Hannah Ferrier . Whereas Chastain and Captain Lee will give you the warm fuzzies, Ferrier and Captain Sandy can barely contain their disgust for each other and are more likely to inspire frustration. Neither is particularly likable, but their power struggle is fascinating and ends with a midseason bang when (spoiler alert!) drugs come into play.

Bingeing Shortcut: The heart of the show lies with the Captain/Chief Stew struggle, so seasons 2 to 5 are your best bet.

“Below Deck Down Under” has been on for only two seasons, and I suspect future seasons will push the spinoff up my ranks. Since its 2022 debut, “Down Under” has shown promise for two reasons, both of which involve boating rock star and Chief Stew Aesha Scott , who we earlier met as a stew on “Below Deck Mediterranean.” Good-natured and clever, this New Zealander brings out the best in everyone and has a sweet relationship with Captain Jason Chambers that rivals the camaraderie of Chastain and Captain Lee.

Besides Scott’s ability to get along famously with most of her crew, she facilitated an aftermath of nurturing following a traumatic evening captured on camera during the second season: Two cast members, a male deckhand and a female stew, were the targets of sexual assault by other crew members. In another life-changing moment, the show’s behind-the-scenes crew didn’t hesitate to break the fourth wall and intervene immediately.

Producers made the choice to air the intervention and the raw aftermath. Captain Jason also fired the offending crew members. Meanwhile, Scott’s calm, caring nature amid the chaos gives me hope that we may soon see some needed reality reckoning in the Bravo-verse, which has come under fire in recent years for behavior gone way too far.

Also, Captain Jason is solid eye candy.

Bingeing Shortcut: You can skip the first season. It’s uneventful.

I was tempted to write “Bingeing Shortcut: Skip it” and nothing else, if that tells you anything.

It’s not that the one season of “Below Deck Adventure,” which aired in 2022 and 2023, was awful. It’s that the lack of necessity automatically renders it less interesting. That the promised outdoor adventures were few and far between didn’t help. Its single season’s noteworthy players are Captain Kerry Titheradge , who’s now steering the original “Below Deck” series, and charter guest Heather Gay of “ The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.”

It seems unlikely we’ll get a second season, and I’m OK with that. I have the rest of the franchise to keep me from walking the plank.

Bingeing Shortcut: Skip it.

Season 11 of the original “Below Deck” airs on Mondays on Bravo, with episodes streaming the next day on Peacock . You can stream the other iterations on Peacock too.
