Inside Below Deck Season 5 Superyacht VALOR

By Oliver Pearson   18 July 2017

Airing on the 5th September, Below Deck season 5 sees the return of fan favourite Captain Lee Rosbach as well as superyacht VALOR, the charter yacht which featured on Below Deck season 4.

The first time a superyacht has featured twice on Bravo’s popular Below Deck TV series, VALOR will be returning to viewer’s screens this fall along with a number of fresh and familiar cast members.

Indeed, the much loved Chef Ben Robinson- a favoruite who has featured on each Below Deck season before now- has made way for Chef Matt Burns, whilst mainstays Kate Chastain and Nico Scholly will be resuming their roles as chief stewardess and senior deckhand respectively.

As we revealed in an exclusive last year, VALOR is in actual fact the 47m/154ft motor yacht BG . Built by world-leading shipyard Feadship, she is available for charter in the Mediterranean during summer and the Caribbean during winter.

Having been on board the motor yacht for a guided tour and cocktails at the Palm Beach Boat Show , you can read our full review here , as well as taking a full look inside with the pictures and information found below.

A wholly modern motor yacht built by the prestigious Dutch shipyard Feadship, superyacht BG is defined by her excellence. Indeed, by bringing together the very best in luxury amenities amidst a calm environment, her interior is sure to please everyone who steps on board.

Expertly refit in 2015 by Dee Dee Taylor Eustace, a celebrity architect and interior designer who established Taylor Hannah Architect Inc, the playful contrast of bright whites and colour make her as unique as she is comfortable.

It’s thefore unsurprising that the yacht is returning for a second season of Below Deck, with both the communal and guest spaces featured around the interior lending themselves perfectly for a show all about the glamour of the superyacht lifestyle.

Lovingly designed and full of the latest features, superyacht BG is perfectly designed for memorable charter vacations

Sure to be the stage for all the action to take place on this season, the exterior of luxury yacht BG is equipped with all of the latest and most desired features.

The sprawling sunpads on the sundeck, for example, are only a short distance away from a large Jacuzzi, an arrangement which allows the entire party to gather together for some stylish fun in the sun.

Steps on both the port and starboard side of the aft deck promise easy access to the full beam swim platform which has been superbly extended for greater access to the water. From this platform guests are able to effortlessly board tenders, begin playing with her catalogue of towable water toys, or simply dive into the ocean to cool off.

Also boasting an inflatable slide which can be attached to the sundeck, guests on board have the option of entering the water in the coolest fashion.

Read here for further information on any of the yachts featured in the Below Deck TV series , or contact your preferred charter broker if you are interested in inquiring about a vacation on-board M/Y BG.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 Cast & Charter Guests

Leaks of the ongoing production of Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 continue to surface online. In the middle of June, a fan spotted superyacht Parsifal III and the BDSY season 5 crew filming in Ibiza, Spain . A day later, fans spotted the Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 cast eating dinner at a restaurant in Ibiza’s old town, Dalt Vila. And on July 10, another BDSY fan on a cruise in Ibiza spotted the sailboat with a group of charter guests off the coast of Ibizan village Es Cubells .

Although Bravo hasn’t yet announced Captain Glenn Shephard ‘s BDSY season 5 crew, Show Star News did some sleuthing and found out some of the returning cast members, some of the possible new crew, as well as charter guests sailing in Ibiza for BDSY season 5’s charter season.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 Cast: Returning & New Crew

Daisy and Gary at BravoCon 2022 in New York City (Instagram).

Captain Glenn recently did interviews where he stated he’d be back working on Parsifal III in June. It’s no big surprise the kind and gregarious Canadian captain is back for another BDSY season. Glenn’s very popular with the fanbase.

A little more surprising, however, are pictures confirming both Chief Stewardess Daisy Kelliher and First Officer Gary King are back for another charter season. The two left a bad taste in fans’ mouths while on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 . Fans found King behaving like a creepy older uncle by chasing after much younger stews like Mads Herrera grotesque. Viewers also found it terrible he went for Kelliher while his good mate MacRae started a boatmance with her. Daisy’s relentless flirtations and denial of any responsibility in the tardiness of service or essentially two-timing MacRae didn’t sit well with fans, either.

Perhaps King and Kelliher will redeem themselves on the latest season. The two-part BDSY season 4 reunion revealed both of them were in Spain. Fans suspect they both recorded the reunion in the same Ibiza hotel room, sparking rumors Daisy and Gary are dating on BDSY season 5 .

Unfortunately, Chief Engineer Colin MacRae parted ways with Bravo after his rocky relationship with Daisy on season 4. He’s currently sharing videos on his YouTube Channel Parlay Revival of him sailing across the Pacific Ocean on his Catamaran, spending time in the French Polynesia with his girlfriend Brittany Amodeo .

The rest of the BDSY season 4 crew didn’t return at the start of the BDSY season 5, according to pictures on a crew night out in Ibiza and the locations of the BDSY season 4 cast during the virtual reunion. However, South Carolinian deckhand Chase Lemacks returning midway through season 5 looks likely after he stopped posting his daily content on Instagram and is following suspected new crew members.

Some fans thought the one blonde on the BDSY season 5 crew night out pictures was Daisy’s sister Bonnie . However, the woman looks very similar to yachtie Danni Warren, who’s Instagram recently was followed by both Gary and BDSY season 5 charter guests. She’s also follows and is followed by Charter Yacht Chef Cloyce Martin . Chef Cloyce’s recent follows are all people currently located in Ibiza, so there’s a good chance he’s BDSY season 5’s chef, too. Chase recently followed them both, too.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 Charter Guests: Real Housewives Star Sails Spain

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 charter guest Tiffany Moon and her friends and their husbands on Parsifal III very recently (Instagram).

Real Housewives of Dallas star Tiffany Moon and her group of guests chartering Parsifal III in Ibiza, Spain, first revealed through social media posts they’re on BDSY season 5. Alongside Moon were her two girl friends, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and Mrs. Texas International 2019 Joyce Morrison and world traveler, Tourette syndrome advocate and medical clinic entrepreneur Madelaine Lam . They vacationed on the sailing superyacht alongside their husbands.

The ladies enjoyed a 24 carat caviar and champagne theme party on their first night aboard the superyacht.

'Below Deck' Season 11 star Xandi Olivier opens up about her marriage in Bravo's show

G RENADA, CARIBBEAN: During Episode 6 of 'Below Deck' Season 11 , Xandi Olivier displayed a moment of emotional vulnerability as she opened up about her personal life to her fellow crew members while on St. David.

While having a conversation with Xandi, Cat Baugh asked her, "Do you foresee being interested in anyone on the ship."

Soon after, Xandi Olivier replied, "Not really. Fraser is most likely my type but unfortunately, I don't think I'm his. My husband was South African. My first husband."

In a confessional, Xandi said, "I was 21 when I got married and divorced at 22. Roommate in high school but my world was ripped from underneath me knowing that my dad and his mom had an affair."

The 'Below Deck' star added, "They lasted six months I guess but the damage was way longer."

Soon after, Cat told Xandi that she was going to meet someone better someday.

Where is 'Below Deck' Season 11 star Xandi Olivier from?

Xandi Olivier hails from the vibrant city of Pretoria in South Africa, where she embarked on her educational journey at the prestigious University of Pretoria, earning a Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management.

At the age of 29, Xandi is a strong advocate for the importance of family bonds and cherishes her loved ones dearly. As a devoted individual, Xandi holds her loved ones close to her heart and never hesitates to openly express her affection for those who hold significance in her life.

After her journey in South Africa, Xandi embarked on a new chapter in her life and relocated to the sunny state of Florida. Embracing her new surroundings, she devotes the majority of her time to creating great memories with her family and friends in this picturesque location.

How many years of yachting experience does 'Below Deck' Season 11 star Xandi Olivier have?

Xandi Olivier has spent an impressive six years immersing herself in the world of yachting. Xandi's off-boat activities often revolve around seeking out stand-up comedy clubs or live music events, as she has an insatiable appetite for laughter and the vibrant energy of live performances.

If given the opportunity, Xandi would gladly embrace the role of a professional groupie, tirelessly following her favorite artists and immersing herself in their creative endeavors.

When it comes to unwinding and relaxing during her downtime on the boat, Xandi finds solace in indulging in binge-watching shows.

Whether it's catching up on the latest critically acclaimed series or immersing herself in captivating documentaries, she embraces the opportunity to lose herself in the captivating narratives that unfold on the screen.

This allows her to momentarily escape the demands of her yachting career and delve into the realms of imagination and storytelling. Xandi's commitment to her craft and her unwavering dedication to her off-boat pursuits truly exemplify her vibrant and multi-faceted personality.

With a zest for life and a thirst for new experiences, Xandi continues to leave an indelible mark on the world of yachting, all while embracing her passions and enjoying every moment of her journey.

Who is 'Below Deck' newbie Xandi Olivier's best friend on St. David?

When asked who her best friend was on St. David, Xandi claimed that she felt most connected to Fraser Olender.

"I have a lot of love for so many of them. I probably clicked most with Fraser," Xandi said.

During the newest season of the show, viewers get to witness many heartwarming interactions between Fraser and Xandi, potentially leading to a strong bond forming between the two co-stars. 

Stay tuned to Bravo to watch new episodes of 'Below Deck' Season 11 every Monday at 9 pm ET.

The Best Seasons in the Below Deck Franchise

By Amy DeVore

If you’ve never watched the Below Deck series on Bravo , what are you even doing with your life? I mean, you’re probably out there working hard, or just like, living your life, being a solid human. Even still, if you haven’t checked out Below Deck, Below Deck Mediterranean , Below Deck Sailing Yacht , Below Deck Down Under , or even that one season of Below Deck Adventure , then just know one thing; you’re missing out. No but really, you are.

That said, sometime in your near future, you might just find yourself in need of a great show to binge. If so, you should consider dipping your toes into this ever-expanding nautical franchise , because it’s a good one. To make sure that you’re not wasting your time, we’ll even help you out a bit. Start with these three seasons of BD first, as they’re each truly the best of the best that this franchise has to offer.

Below Deck Season 3

The casting department for BD Season 3 deserves a raise. To start, Chef Leon Walker loathed Chief Stew Kate Chastain . When he wasn’t making beef cheeks, he was throwing her under the bus to Captain Lee Rosbach . After a kitchen fire, Leon left the boat, which saddened his eccentric sidekick , stewardess Rocky Dakota .

In defense of her fired pal, Rocky stripped down and jumped overboard, only to be returned by a neighboring tender. In other scenes, this stew was often in the laundry room, hooking up with the “taken” Eddie Lucas . Insert production, who brilliantly added in a running gag of soap churning in a washing machine. At this early-on point, camera placements were limited, but their trysts changed this, and now, cameras are everywhere onboard.

Additionally, many fun scenes transpired between Amy Johnson , Connie Arias , Rocky, and Kate, especially when whipped-cream was involved. Likewise, Rocky’s grenadine oysters and salads with Oreo sprinkles will leave you in stitches. Or vomiting, like one of the guests did after eating this meal. Luckily, Chef Ben Robinson boarded, sending Rocky back to the laundry room to continue singing about “ironing the Captain’s shorts.”

This season also had some negative drama. When Eddie and Rocky’s affair came out, Eddie chose denial, leaving Rocky to feel alone, which sucked. Luckily, the viewers put Eddie in the hot seat, and he stepped away from this series for several seasons. Overall, Below Deck Season 3 is one of the best around, and if you are anything like us, you’ll watch it on repeat.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 1 was a bust. Luckily, BDSY Season 2 saved this spin-off, and we’re thankful, because it’s now one of our favorites . However, due to COVID restrictions, both Seasons 2 and 3 lacked various elements, so this series didn’t really hit its full stride until Season 4 . To note, in all three of these later seasons, the viewers are (mostly) gifted with this series three staple cast members, Daisy Kelliher , Gary King , and Colin MacRae .

Out of them all, Season 4 is our favorite, as it’s a whirlwind, with a side of fun. To recap, Colin was single for the first time ever, and he and Daisy started up a boatmance. Later on, we learned that they had actually hooked up prior to filming. Shockingly, so had Daisy and Gary.

Outside of this drama, Season 4 had amazing interior and exterior departments. You’ll love watching these crew members bond, as each were kind and lovable, while also highly skilled in their various roles. Chef Ileisha Dell is the calmest chef in this entire franchise, and she’s also a former circus contortionist, which is fun. Furthermore, Alex Propson gave us the now infamous scene of his drunkenly placed water bottle on Captain Glenn Shephard ’s forehead, which will make you laugh, unless you hate humor.

To note, Gary’s playboy ways, which allegedly go far beyond flirtations, have since made headlines. Therefore, Season 5 is now hanging in the balance, and only time will tell how this spin-off fares. Even still, after watching Below Deck Season 3, we recommend that you watch the next greatest thing, which is Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4. Overall, you’ll love this cast, mostly, and that’s a rare thing to be said for this franchise.

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 4

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 4 had a mostly fun, kind cast. In turn, the interior department saw minimal drama unfolding. Instead, Hannah Ferrier , Aesha Scott , and Anastasia Surmava developed a tight friendship. These girls are still close today.

Also, a sweet boatmance formed between the equally hysterical Jack Stirrup and Aesha. In addition, a series favorite returned in Colin Macy-O’Toole , who we want to protect and hug forever. Now, if you’re thinking that this season sounds too loving and drama-free (aka boring), think again. Three different Chefs roll through, so there’s definitely drama on the high seas.

The first one, Mila Kolomeitseva , the “absolute oxygen thief,” was fired after Episode 5, because she (likely) lied on her resume, licked steaks, and couldn’t make nachos. With a culinary background in tow, Anastasia stepped up to help, which saw June Foster coming onboard to assist in the interior department. Enter Hannah’s infamous line of “June, June, Hannah” here.

Finally, Chef Ben returned to save the day, again. However, this led to June’s ousting, as Anastasia had to step back down to her stew role. Sweet baby Colin tried to fall on the sword though, taking June’s firing for the team, until Captain Sandy Yawn stepped in, saying nope.

Sadly, this season of BDM was one of the last fun-loving seasons for this series. So, if you are looking for something fun to watch, we cannot recommend Season 4 enough , as it’s one of the best in the Below Deck franchise.

Free agency is upon us, and Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab are joining forces to react to and give letter grades for all the biggest moves from day one of the NFL's legal tampering window.

Below Deck Recap: Queen Drunk

Fraser and Barbie, at long last, seem to conclusively make nice. It helps that she good-naturedly cops to being a “spoiled bitch” who needs to grow up. “Who do I think I am?!” she laughs. What can I say? I love Barbie. I also continue to love Anthony, who — four days out from the anniversary of his father’s death — talks movingly about channeling emotion into his food and making his dad proud.

Barbie may have gotten a terminal case of the ick from Jared, but Sunny and Ben are back on — they start making out in the hot tub while their co-workers whoop and cheer around them. Kyle chivalrously offers up his cabin to the happy couple while he eats a burger in the crew mess and talks to his crush, Barbie, about her travels to Israel and her passionate desire to convert to Judaism. She contains multitudes!

The next morning, Jared is still upset about missing his call with his daughter, with the added benefits of now being hung-over and having run out of data (for phones, this is the closest equivalent experience to being hung-over). He calls up their on-land provisioner to source blue-and-white towels and is so annoying on the phone that this woman, who I suspect is not being paid enough for this, calmly but firmly scolds him to be “more professional.” He apologizes; Ben looks on disapprovingly. Kerry (who refers to himself in the third person as “Kez”; why are Australian nicknames the best?) is sympathetic to the emotional baggage from home that Jared’s struggling with but reminds him of his responsibility to stay focused for safety’s sake if nothing else. He promises to keep his head in the game, and they end up sourcing yellow towels. On the bright side, Ben points out, at least they won’t have to wash the stains out.

With bathroom trash liners untucked, sinks grimy, and tissues peeking out of their boxes not properly origami-ed into flowers, Xandi is growing weary of redoing all the housekeeping work that should theoretically have already been completed by Cat. At least Fraser officially names Xandi, without whom this yacht would surely have sunk to the bottom of a reef on day one, his second stew. Barbie is predictably a little annoyed not to be recognized, but whatever. In her own mind, she says,  she ’s second stew. In her own mind, I believe, the boat is named after her.

Our next primary, a luxury property manager from Iowa named Tina, is “not picky.” She is pescatarian and won’t eat eggs or tofu. She refuses to drink from glass vessels, only plastic. On the bright side, though, she is also very unpleasant and strange. And yet, she is ultimately only a supporting character in the nightmare that is this charter. (Nightmare for the crew, that is — I, for one, am having a great time.) Her business partner’s wife, Eileen, is already drunk enough not to be entirely sure what her name is by the time she sets foot on the boat. The others soon catch up. They go snorkeling, and while I wonder whether it’s medically advisable to obstruct Eileen’s airways in any way at this point, I am neither a doctor nor a deckhand.

When they return to St. David, Cat greets them with a tray of shots, which would be fun in other circumstances, but these people need to be greeted with a non-optional saline drip. One of the guests jokes about peeing in the hot tub. I am using the word “jokes” with approximately 30 percent confidence here. Later, Queen Drunk Eileen’s husband (the prince consort) somehow locks himself inside their bathroom and knocks out all the glass from the door. Kyle is unfazed, having broken “hundreds” of doors himself under the influence, to say nothing of roofs, guitars, and one leg.

Despite the guests’ half-assed flapper costumes, dinner feels less in line with their theoretical 1920s Monte Carlo theme and more so like a 1990s Vegas-inspired bar mitzvah. Nothing is giving anachronism more than Fraser’s kitschy dice vest, as it’s made of a synthetic fabric that I don’t think DuPont would have quite gotten around to inventing yet. The food looks great, though!

The Drunk Prince Consort asks Barbie if she could set his plate down “more quietly” (“Can you feed your wife more water?” she asks in a confessional), then promptly manages to smash a glass. I’m detecting a pattern. Tina “hates” her profiteroles because they taste like eggs. Both ice cream and choux pastry are sort of definitively made with eggs, so I don’t know what to tell you, lady. The other guests complain that she didn’t wait for them to start eating dessert. “I’m done,” Tina snaps, angrily getting up from the table and fleeing downstairs in tears. Only one man — whom I initially assumed to be her husband, but I’m not doing a great job telling these dudes apart — follows her to check-in. In fact, her husband is still back upstairs, shrugging off her dramatic exit: “I told her to fucking settle down.” It takes a special guy to make me feel bad for Tina, who, not for nothing, has a large tattoo of some kind of bird of prey spanning the width of her back, accompanied by the word “live.” Meanwhile, the other guests, nominally Tina’s friends, are eager to complain about her in her absence.

Eileen, in particular, proves to be a mean drunk. (On second thought, I don’t want to diminish her to a single label — I’m sure she finds time to be every kind of drunk that there is or ever could be.) “Barbara, let’s go,” she snaps at Barbie for not having anticipated her 38th drink order. When Jared somehow gets roped into helping serve dinner, she tells him, “You’re lucky you’re good-looking. That’s all you got going on.” This throwaway insult was apparently a bull’s-eye, triggering his childhood trauma about not feeling good enough. Jared’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day just got even worse.

Karma works fast. Eileen slips and falls getting out of the hot tub. She hits her head alarmingly hard — hard enough that maybe we should double-check if all the blood vessels inside her brain are, like, good — prompting Barbie to essentially carry her to bed. Barbie threatens to start watering down their drinks tomorrow. At this point, I think they’d be well within their rights to wrap Eileen head-to-toe in protective bubble wrap. Just tell her it’s a spa treatment.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht star Captain Glenn Shepard uses ‘Bosun’ throwback for Season 5 tease

Below Deck Sailing Yacht star Captain Glenn Shephard has given fans a few things to discuss.

Captain Glenn quickly became a fan favorite when the hit sailing show was revamped for Season 2.

However, today, the captain has become one of the most beloved members of the Below Deck family.

Recently, Captain Glenn had Instagram buzzing after he shared a throwback photo from him as a bosun, where he was looking very serious with his sunglasses on and posed.

“Back in my Bosun days. Had a bit more hair back then 😂 No idea why I was so serious for this one 😎,” he captioned the picture.

It didn’t take long for the comments section of the IG post to become flooded with replies gushing over Captain Glenn.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht star Captain Glenn teases Season 5

In the comments section, Captain Glenn replied to several comments, one of which was asking about the next season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

“not til late spring early summer.” Captain Glenn replied.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 won’t hit Bravo airwaves until Below Deck Season 11 wraps up. The season has only just begun, with plenty more drama to play out before we get to the hit sailing show.

Captain Glenn also had fun when one fan asked why all the Below Deck captains are so hot.

“Smoke and mirrors?” he wrote.

Aside from those comments, several Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans happily gushed over a young Captain Glenn. The consensus was that he looked hot and yummy.

“Love this, Bosun Glenn!” declared one Captain Glenn fan.

Here’s what else we know about Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5

While fans are anxiously waiting for Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5, there are a few things we know. For one, Daisy Kelliher and Gary King are back for another stint following their Season 4 rift.

How Gary will be portrayed or how involved he is in the season remains up in the air following allegations of sexual assault against him that came out after filming wrapped last summer.

Sadly, Colin MacRae won’t return for another season amid his falling out with Daisy. It’s unclear if it’s because of things that unfolded between him, Gary, and Daisy or if he simply wanted to sail his newly restored catamaran.

In other Below Deck Sailing Yacht news, Daisy has built a friendship with Hollywood A-lister Christina Appelgate .

Are you ready for Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5?

Below Deck Sailing Yacht is currently on hiatus on Bravo. Seasons 1-4 are streaming on Peacock.

Screen Rant

10 below deck season 11 crew members with the worst attitudes, ranked.

Below Deck season 11 is full of some interesting personalities, but which crew members have the worst attitudes on the St. David this charter season?

• Captain Kerry Titheradge is easygoing and approachable, dealing with issues on the superyacht in a straightforward manner.
• Chef Anthony Iracane has a positive disposition, despite struggling with timeliness, making impeccable meals on the St. David.
• Deckhand Kyle Stillie brings a positive, laidback attitude to the crew, helping out and remaining calm in all situations.

Below Deck season 11 has introduced some of the most interesting crewmates to the St. David, but which of the yachties has the worst attitude when it comes to their life aboard the ship? While the standard Below Deck crew typically changes from season to season, there are some familiar faces aboard the St. David on the current season. With a mix of new and old yachties aboard, there have already been rising tensions for the crew as they’ve gotten into the first charters of the season, helping guests and doing their best to work together as a cohesive unit.

Although there are some Below Deck faces that have been introduced in seasons and series prior, like Captain Kerry Titheradge and Chief Stew Fraser Olender, there are more new faces aboard the St. David than familiar ones. This is typical of Below Deck, as is the fact that many of the crew aboard the St. David have a bit of attitude about what they do on the ship . While some of the crew are newer to the yachting industry, others have been part of it for years and bring their own specialized knowledge into their jobs, causing some personality clashes.

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

10 kerry titheradge.

Below Deck is a popular reality TV franchise that focuses on a group of crew members as they work on luxurious yachts and cater to their client's needs. After the original series proved to be a success, Bravo developed a handful of spinoff shows including Below Deck Selling Yacht, Below Deck Adventure, Below Deck Down Under, and Below Deck Mediterranean.

As the Captain of the St. David, Kerry Titheradge has a huge amount of responsibility aboard the superyacht . From navigating the ship to dealing with the crew and charter guests, Captain Kerry has his work cut out for him, which makes it impossible for him to have much of an attitude. Typically, Captain Kerry is easygoing and straightforward, as he has been in his other appearances on the Below Deck franchise . Though Captain Kerry can have difficult moments with the crew that cause tension, he’s typically the most approachable person aboard the vessel.

9 Anthony Iracane

While he’s new to the St. David, Chef Anthony Iracane is one of the more amiable people on the superyacht’s crew. Though Anthony has only been shown in a few moments throughout the season thus far, the new Below Deck season 11 chef has been shown to have less of an attitude than some of the other crew members working on the ship . Though Chef Anthony has been struggling with his timeliness, his meals have been impeccable and his perfectionism doesn’t equate to having a poor attitude. Overall, Anthony’s disposition has been one of the best aboard the St. David.

8 Kyle Stillie

Deckhand Kyle Stillie, who is originally from Scotland, may not have a lot of experience in the yachting world, but he’s proven to be an asset aboard the St. David. With just a year of experience under his belt, Kyle has been helpful to the team working the exterior and has shown that he’s not afraid to get to work when he needs to. Kyle’s attitude aboard the vessel has been notable for being more positive than others, who are simply looking for control. Laidback and easygoing, Kyle has been a calming presence on the ship.

7 Marie “Sunny” Marquis

Another deckhand, Marie ‘Sunny” Marquis has been dealing with her issues aboard the St. David in an interesting way. Though she has a positive outlook, her attitude is a bit more stoic than some of the other crew members aboard the St. David. While she’s been pursuing a boatmance with Below Deck returning crew member Ben Willoughby, Sunny’s outlook has been more easygoing than some of the other women on the ship. Still, things with Sunny have been somewhat more difficult than with other crew members, as her interpersonal issues have colored her working experience .

6 Fraser Olender

As the Chief Stew aboard the St. David, Fraser is one of the familiar faces on the superyacht for viewers. Fraser, who has moved from a steward to the Chief Stew, has made it clear that he’s not interested in big drama on Below Deck season 11 . Despite the fact that he’s causing drama of his own throughout his relationship with his stews, Fraser believes he’s keeping things casual. While his attitude isn’t the worst aboard the St. David, Fraser has been stubborn throughout his time on Below Deck season 11 , which gives him more of a negative attitude.

5 Barbie Pascual

Although she’s one of the best stews on Below Deck season 11 and works hard to ensure that her job is done as well as possible, Barbie Pascual has been giving major attitude in her time on the St. David. Barbie, who is used to working more independently than she does on the vessel, has been struggling with teamwork on the ship. Though Barbie knows she can get things done alone, it’s clear that the attitude she has makes it impossible for some to work with her. Overall, she doesn’t have the worst attitude, but doesn’t have the best, either .

4 Xandi Olivier

Second stew.

As Chief Stew Fraser’s second in command, Xandi Olivier has been promoted aboard the St. David, but her attitude on the superyacht leaves a lot to be desired. While Xandi isn’t openly rude to her colleagues or her guests, she’s made it clear she doesn’t want to interact with anybody if she can help it. Xandi often takes the work on the interior seriously , taking care of bed and heads whenever she can. Rather than dealing with service, Xandi’s poor attitude makes it clear she wants to stay away from being social.

3 Jared Woodin

Although he seems to have decent reasons for the issues he’s facing aboard the St. David, Jared Woodin has been struggling to find his footing as the ship’s Bosun since his earliest days aboard the vessel. Making some serious mistakes that have caused Captain Kerry to keep an eye on him, Jared has been struggling with interpersonal issues along with issues in his job. While he hasn’t let the stress overtake him yet, it appears that Jared’s poor attitude could push him to quit Below Deck season 11 sooner rather than later.

2 Ben Willoughby

Lead deckhand.

After appearances on Below Deck in the past, Ben has been struggling to find his footing aboard the St. David. Though he’s working well as the new Lead Deckhand on the vessel, he’s also been having a hard time speaking up about his responsibilities on the ship. Blaming others for mistakes and calling people out over public radio lines, Ben has made some of his other colleagues uncomfortable. His attitude throughout the charter season has been difficult to watch, but i t’s possible he’ll make a comeback and get back into the Captain’s good graces .

1 Cat Baugh

Fourth stew.

While she’s one of the stews that Fraser is giving a major chance to, Cat Baugh has had some serious emotional issues while on the ship. After dealing with her feud with Barbie, Cat has struggled to find herself worthy of spending time with the rest of the Below Deck season 11 cast. While she’s confronted the behavior head on, it’s possible she simply needs to adjust her attitude moving forward so her colleagues can read her a bit more easily.

Below Deck airs Mondays on Bravo at 9 p.m. EST.

Love Me Tender

Jared and Kyle argue, which has consequences. Cat struggles to find her place on the yacht. The exterior struggles with a difficult docking while Eileen gets under the skin of the entire yacht. A night in the hot tub has long-lasting repercussions.
