The  Below Deck Sailing Yacht   alum has officially tied the knot with Dave Cartmill, a fellow Canadian who proposed to Jenna nearly a year ago. The ex-yachtie shared a peek inside her wedding via  Instagram on Saturday, August 5, less than 24 hours after walking down the aisle.

A Look Inside Jenna and Dave’s Canadian Wedding

The carousel showed the newlyweds kissing and embracing each other against a floral ring backdrop. The former Below Deck chief stew donned a charming sleeveless gown with a V neckline, subtle ruching under the bust, and a court-length train. She finished the look with a pair of drop earrings and a long veil attached to her chic low bun.

As indicated on her Instagram, Jenna’s nuptials took place at the Thomson Farms Cider & Winery in Ontario. The couple’s wedding reception was held in the venue’s wine barn, which was decorated with candles, string lights, and pastel flower arrangements.

Jenna also shared a couple of Instagram Stories that provided a closer look at the stunning sweetheart table. The post credited design/styling company Anthesis Supply Co. as well as the Ontario-based florist Flowers with Flair.

Jenna reflected on her big day in an August 4 Instagram, which included photos from her childhood and  Below Deck days.

“Today little ol’ me is getting married,” she captioned the post . “Swipe to see little me, before I even knew there was more than playing dress up and laughing each day.”

Jenna announces her engagement

Jenna appeared in  Below Deck Sailing Yacht ’s inaugural season, which explored her romance with chef  Adam Glick . The two ended their relationship before the Season 1 reunion special in 2020. In August 2022,  Jenna announced she was engaged to Dave , whom she described as “the best person [she] could have ever imagined.”

“I’ve kind of known about him for a number of years, but, he was doing his thing and I was doing my thing,” she said. “And it was just kismet timing, I guess. And yeah, it was very different from every other relationship I’ve ever had.”

She told the outlet they began dating in December 2021.

“I would say it was love at first sight, but it also felt very calm,” she continued. “Like I’m used to this kind of like, ‘Wow, it’s all crazy!’ And you’re running at fast speeds and all of this stuff. But it felt actually like a very healthy beginning. Like it felt just like really calm. We met and it was just like so easy and there weren’t any doubts in my mind. And he felt the same. There were no communication issues. It was just like very clear that we both felt the same way.”

Congratulations to the happy couple!

Why Below Deck Sailing Yacht Didn’t Bring Jenna MacGillivray Back After Season 1

The first season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht had Bravo fans hook, line and sinker. It took the original premise of Below Deck and intensified it into a more confining space. Oddly enough, though, none of the crew (save the captain) returned for the highly anticipated Season 2, which premiered on March 1. Fans were left wondering, why was chief stewardess Jenna MacGillivray not brought back?

Ahead of the Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2 premiere, Captain Glenn Shepherd and executive producer Jill Goslicky revealed in an AMA on Reddit why Jenna MacGillivray did not come back. What it, essentially, boils down to is exactly what MacGillivray was accused of not having last season: professionalism . Goslicky said,

The short is answer - we absolutely wanted Jenna to have the staying power of Kate and Hannah. In our dream scenario, every cast member we bring on board is such a hit they carry on for seasons and seasons. I also genuinely loved working with Jenna - she gets a lot of flack on social media, but she truly was great to work with. I think if I’m being truly honest… Jenna got swept up in a boatmance… and I think in that way, she didn’t allow herself to shine and show how amazing she truly is.

The relationship between chief stew Jenna MacGillivray and chef Adam Glick on Below Deck Sailing Yacht was the key drama of the season. They would often make out in front of the crew and talk smack in private about them. Though it was often a little over the top, and not to mention nauseating, it made for great reality television as they isolated themselves from the group.

Captain Glenn Shephard reflected,

I think the situation with Adam [Glick] - they would have been better postponing getting involved until the season was done. If I can see everything happening between Adam and Jenna in real time, I would probably tell them to tone it down and focus more on work than their personal lives.

The assertion that Jenna MacGillivray’s boatmance is the reason why she didn't return for Season 2 sounds more like MacGillivray's own reason. Fans were critical of her emotional entanglements while working, but they no doubt have always loved a stone-cold chief stew with an attitude. Hannah Ferrier and Kate Chastain set this precedent on Below Deck .

Jill Goslicky said that when the Below Deck producers and Bravo discuss bringing back previous crew members, the main question is: “Do they have compelling reasons for their story to continue on in the show?” Jenna MacGillivray has the most compelling reason out of the whole first season crew to come back on the show. At the reunion show of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , fans awkwardly learned that the two lovebirds were no longer together.

A similar occurrence happened on Below Deck: Mediterranean . Stewardess Aesha Scott got hot and heavy with Jack Stirrup on Season 4, only for fans to find out about a brutal breakup that involved cheating with an ex-girlfriend. But she had the last laugh when she came back for Season 5! Then again, Scott maintained a hero's role throughout her season, not MacGillivray's villain one.

Jill Goslicky teased that there is still potential for a Jenna MacGillivray comeback story. She hinted at the fact that many times crew will take off and return in a later season.

What happened to Adam and Jenna Below Deck Sailing Yacht?

It’s been over a year since Below Deck Sailing Yacht introduced chef Adam Glick and chief stew Jenna MacGillivray.

Well, Adam was a familiar face because of his two-time stint on Below Deck Mediterranean. One season involved a love triangle with Malia White and Wes Walton.

Sparks immediately flew between Jenna and Adam. Despite his best effort to not get involved in a boatmance, the two gave in to their feelings.

Their relationship was a pivotal plotline, especially the impact it had on the interior crew.

Madison Stalker often complained she and Georgia Grobler did all the work, while Jenna washed a glass or two in the galley to flirt with Adam. Viewers didn’t disagree either and often criticized Jenna’s worth ethic on social media.

What happened to Adam and Jenna after Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 1?

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 1 ended with Adam and Jenna walking off into the sunset together, embarking on van life. The romance only lasted a few months, though.

When the Parsifal III crew got together virtually to dish Season 1 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, Jenna and Adam had split. Adam admitted the process of being in a relationship on the Bravo show was challenging for them.

Host Andy Cohen asked if they might rekindle their romance now that the show was done airing. Adam pretty much told Andy that wasn’t anybody’s business.

They did not get back together. Jenna has revealed they have a lot of history, but it’s very complicated. As of last fall, Jenna was dating someone new . However, she has chosen to keep her personal life private.

Why did neither Jenna or Adam return for Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2?

When the Season 2 cast of Below Deck Sailing Yacht was revealed, the only returning crew member was Captain Glenn Shephard. It wasn’t a huge surprise neither Adam nor Jenna came back, but it did get fans asking why they didn’t return.

Adam made it clear during the Season 1 reunion show that he was done with reality television, or at least the Below Deck franchise. The chef does have a web-series cooking show called, Stoked.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht producer Jill Goslicky shed light on how crew members were asked to return to the yachting show. Jill called out Jenna’s romance with Adam as one reason the chief stew didn’t shine on the show and wasn’t asked back.

Jenna shut down the producer’s accusations in an Instagram Live. The chief stew defended her work ethic.

Like so many Below Deck couples before them, Adam and Jenna from Below Deck Sailing Yacht are not together. They don’t even talk.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo.

'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 1 Star Jenna MacGillivray Is Engaged

Aug. 16 2022, Published 12:39 p.m. ET

Jenna MacGillivray and her fiancé, Dave Cartmill.

Wedding bells are officially ringing for Below Deck Sailing Yacht alum Jenna MacGillivray !

The yacht chief stew, who starred on the debut season of the Below Deck spin-off series, announced her engagement to longtime beau Dave Cartmill on her Instagram page on Aug. 13.

In the caption of her engagement announcement, Jenna referred to her fiancé as the "best person."

As BDSY fans will remember, Jenna's boatmance with Chef Adam Glick was a central storyline on Season 1 of the Bravo series, but the pair broke up after the charter season wrapped up (but before the reunion aired in June of 2020).

Though her relationship with the chef did not work out, Jenna has clearly found a lasting connection with her now-fiancé. Who is Jenna's husband-to-be, and what has she been up to since viewers last saw her on the show? Keep reading to find out.

Dave Cartmill and Jenna MacGillivray.

'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' alum Jenna MacGillivray is engaged. Who is her fiancé?

Following her public romance with Chef Adam, Jenna noted on her Instagram feed in September of 2021 that she didn't want to "post pics of the men in [her] life that she date[s]."

That changed with her now-fiancé, Dave.

The chief stew first shared a photo with Dave, on the app in February of 2022, though it's unclear when exactly the two started dating. Dave's own Instagram feed is set to private, so not much is publicly known about his life and career.

About six months after Jenna went public with Dave, she confirmed that the two were set to wed.

"It took me a long time to find true comfort and happiness with myself independent of anyone else. I'm forever thankful I loved myself enough to stay alone long enough to wait for the best person I could have ever imagined for me," Jenna wrote in the caption of her Aug. 13 post on Instagram. "Exploding."

After Jenna confirmed the exciting news with a snapshot of her and her fiancé and a photo of her emerald-cut ring, several stars from the various shows in the Below Deck franchise sent along their warm wishes in the comments' section.

"Omg congratulations!!!!!! So so happy for you!!!!" Jenna's BDSY Season 1 co-star, Ciara Duggan, wrote.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jenna MacGillivray (@jennathemac)

Below Deck Med deckhand Colin Macy O'Toole added a "Congrats girlie!" comment under the post, and BDSY Season 2 personality Dani Soares shared a simple "Congratulations," along with two red heart emojis.

Jenna's former boss (and the captain of Parsifal III ), Glenn Shephard, added, "So happy for you guys."

It does not appear that Jenna's one-time co-star and now-ex, Chef Adam, has publicly commented on the news.

What is Jenna from 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' doing now?

Though she didn't return to the show for Seasons 2 or 3 of BDSY (Daisy Kelliher has been the chief stew on those seasons), Jenna has kept fans updated about her life on her Instagram page.

Once her time on the show wrapped up, Jenna did a lot of traveling, and she has shared the details of her various adventures on her Instagram profile. She did work on another boat in the Bahamas, and she co-hosted the Wild Loner podcast until the spring of 2021.

Now, the Canadian may be getting ready to plan her wedding!

You can catch up on the first three seasons of Below Deck Sailing Yacht on Peacock now.

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

Are Jenna and Adam still together?

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

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

Jenna MacGillivray

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

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

Madison Stalker

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

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

Georgia Grobler

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

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

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

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

Paget Berry and Ciara Duggan

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

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

Byron Hissey

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

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

Parker McCown

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

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

Chris Miller

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

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

Captain Glenn Sheppard

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

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

This Key Thing Separates ‘Below Deck’s Best Spin-Off From the Franchise

Not everyone has what it takes to be a yachtie.

The Big Picture

• Below Deck Sailing Yacht offers a unique twist with literal sails, setting it apart from other franchise spin-offs.
• Captain Glenn's leadership on Parsifal III brings stability and success to the crew, creating must-watch television.
• Maintaining the same core crew from start to finish allows for deeper storytelling and dramatic moments to unfold.

Since its debut in 2013, Below Deck has introduced audiences to the world of yachting through the eyes of the people who run it. With four spin-offs to its name, viewers have been taken all over the world while watching the drama that goes on. From hook-ups to firings with emotional breakdowns in between, each franchise has had the same formula, but with a different set of yachties to make them unique . One of the best and most under-appreciated of the spin-offs is Below Deck Sailing Yacht . After a first season with some growing pains, Below Deck Sailing Yacht has raised the sails and has sailed into glory.

Sailing the stunning seas of the Mediterranean, Below Deck Sailing Yacht is special in the Below Deck family. Following the trials and tribulations of a singular ship, the Parsifal III, Below Deck Sailing Yacht takes all the great things from the flagship franchise and adds the unique addition of literal sails . Below Deck Sailing Yacht has shown the dangers of working on a vessel of this type. Unlike the other series, sailing Parsifall III has a much higher level of risk. No other franchise has an additional mechanic for fans to witness! Following a malfunction, Parsifal III not only crashed into the dock once, but twice ! Thankfully, Parsifall III only suffered from some cosmetic injuries , but the pure terror it caused raised heart rates to the max for the crew and fans alike.

But Parsifall III is old faithful. Whether experiencing turbulence from the seas or the charter guests, Below Deck Sailing Yacht has an extra bit of comfort thanks to its extraordinary crew. With the brilliant Captain Glenn Shephard at the helm, Below Deck Sailing Yacht has four seasons under its belt with a stable cast that has remained must-watch television.

Follows the crew of a multi million dollar charter boat in the Caribbean.

'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Is a Tale of Two Crews

The show that premiered on Bravo on February 3, 2020, is not the show that followed during Seasons 2, 3, and 4. With the sole exception of Below Deck Adventure , every Below Deck spin-off debuted with a familiar face from another franchise . For Season 1, Below Deck Sailing Yacht was joined by Below Deck Mediterranean alum Chef Adam Glick . Following his two-season tenure under the overly micromanaging, watchful eye of Captain Sandy Yawn , Chef Adam returned to the Med to join Captain Glenn's crew. For those familiar with his work on the franchise, Chef Adam did have some run-ins with certain members of the team, predominantly Chief Stewardess Hannah Ferrier . When he came to Parsifal III, his opinions on Chief Stews drastically changed as he became entangled in a rocky relationship with Chief Stew Jenna MacGillivray . Jenna was a fine Chief Stew but quickly became unbearable once she fell in love. It's one thing to be messy on Below Deck , but Jenna took it to a whole new level.

For Season 1, it was quite clear that the man in charge of the ship knew all the ins and outs. Captain Glenn Shephard has had a storied career with Parsifal III; with over a decade of service on the ship and two decades behind the wheel in general, Captain Glenn is one of the kindest captains in the franchise , leading his teams to great success . Unlike any of the other captains in the franchise, he has to bunk with the rest of the crew. As the sole cast member to remain on Parsifall III since Season 1, he doesn't steal focus in hopes of being the star like a certain other captain in the Med does. Season 1 had some growing pains. And thus, when Parsifal III returned for Season 2, Captain Glenn cleaned ship and brought in an entirely new crew. And as they say, the rest is history.

'Below Deck Sailing Yacht's Primary Trio Is the Backbone of the Show

Since Season 2, the franchise has been led by the trio of Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher , First Officer Gary King , and Chief Engineer Colin MacRae . The trio has had a roller-coaster of a journey together, from friendships to a devastating love triangle, but their relationship has kept the spin-off special. Captain Glenn maintaining his main three has aided greatly to the longevity of the show and its storytelling. Below Deck Sailing Yacht is the only series in the franchise to maintain the heads of department season after season, even with Gary's controversy that was revealed last summer in Rolling Stone .

Below Deck Sailing Yacht is the only franchise to highlight the position of Chief Engineer. Because of the importance of this position on this type of vessel, Colin MacRae became an instant standout. Anything mechanical that goes on in the boat is under the watchful eye of Colin. That includes plumbing, so when the crew toilets get clogged, Colin is there to do the dirty work. The only person Colin can be compared to is his predecessor from Season 1, Byron Hissey . Colin is a workhorse, but he is a level-headed person who's down for fun, as long as his morals aren't interrupted. As one of the hardest working individuals on Parsifal III, Colin goes above and beyond. He even saved the charter season during Season 4 when the engine didn't work by fixing it on the fly.

When it comes to Chief Stews, Daisy Kelliher had a standard to uphold. With Kate and Hannah as the gold standard in the Below Deck Cinematic Universe , she was a breath of fresh air following the departure of Jenna. Daisy has always provided professionalism towards the charter guests , even if the guests tested her every last nerve. She has a fun side during the crew nights out, but when it comes to work, she's all business — and she treats her team with an immense amount of respect. Throughout her tenure on Parsifall III, she has only lost a single stewardess, which was at Gabriela Barragán 's own volition. Daisy has had a solid relationship with each of her chefs, only getting stronger as the seasons went on.

'Below Deck's Chef Anthony Is Season 11's Biggest Success

And then there's Gary King. Serving as the First Officer, he was the head of exterior with a strong work ethic and leadership. Similar to Colin, the First Officer is a rarely seen position in any of the franchises. Gary would be above in rank to the bosuns of the other shows. Only Eddie Lucas from Below Deck and Bryan Kattenburg from Season 1 of Below Deck Med have been promoted to this position. While it is a familiar position on a yacht, showcasing Gary in this slot displays the importance of the role on this specific vessel — the First Officer is literally second in command behind Captain Glenn, and some fans may be scratching their heads as to why this guy has this much control.

Gary yields a bit more power compared to the bosuns , and thus, it's displayed a tale of two Garys. "Work Gary" displays the difficulty of working on a sailing yacht. He is devoted to his work and does not take any nonsense as a manager. "Play Gary's" only goal was to be the lady's man on board and get drunk to the point he couldn't take accountability for his actions. For fans of the Below Deck shows, this is nothing out of the ordinary. While some fans don't quite understand the appeal of him, the ladies on board can never get enough of Gary King.

Parcifal III Maintaining the Same Crew From Start to Finish Allows More Stories To Be Told

Each season, the colorful crew of supplementary yachties helps to bring the drama , especially when Gary engages in love triangles with the stewardesses during Seasons 2 and 3. To be fair, even when he was pursuing Daisy in Season 4 because he couldn't have her, he still found love with the interior. By far, the biggest non-Gary scandal to rock the boat was the aftermath of the romance between Season 2's 2nd Stew Dani Soares and Deckhand Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux . Despite a minor age gap, the duo were romantically intertwined. It was a really cute boatmance, but when it was revealed that Dani was pregnant and Jean-Luc was the father , all hell broke loose, which made for an unforgettable reunion.

Speaking of drama, a love triangle brewed between Daisy, Gary, and Colin that seeped off the show. During the first two seasons together, their relationship was quite platonic. Gary and Daisy did flirt when the liquor was flowing, but what Below Deck Sailing Yacht tracked was the evolution of three individuals. No other Below Deck series has taken as much time to watch a genuine friendship blossom since Chef Ben Robinson and Kate Chastain . The trio all entered the program at the same time, but once they were all single and ready to mingle, everything changed. Daisy, who had maintained a strong bond with both men, began to catch feelings for a now single Colin all while Gary was pursuing Junior Stew Mads Herrera .

Of course, Gary always desires to be the center of attention, so he got wrapped up in the middle and helped to jeopardize all of their friendships. Daisy wasn't quite in the clear as it was leaked that she and Gary hooked up off-season. The drama overflowed into the reunion and even caused tension at BravoCon 2023, where Gary was uninvited to due to his alleged sexual misconduct. Where the trio stands is a bit up in the air; fans have rooted for them to work on their relationship, so they can come back stronger for a fifth season. No other Below Deck spin-off has maintained a core cast, which is better because fans can follow along the journey and growth. There is an inherent investment in a singular group of friends that no other Below Deck series displays.

Aside from a great crew, memorable moments, and nonstop drama, Below Deck Sailing Yacht is unique in the fact that, aside from the motor yacht experience, viewers and guests alike get to literally set sail. While sailing can be quite difficult to stomach, the beauty of seeing the sails up in their glory makes these charters a dream to watch. Below Deck Sailing Yacht is truly a beautiful and unique show. With all its success thus far, Season 5 will surely continue to prove that Below Deck Sailing Yacht is the best spin-off in the Below Deck universe.

All seasons of Below Deck Sailing Yacht are available to stream on Peacock in the U.S.

Below Deck 's unique premise of detailing the lives of crew members on a yacht during a charter season drew in an impressive 1.4 million viewers per episode.

Unsurprisingly, Below Deck quickly spurned multiple spin-offs, including Below Deck Mediterranean , Below Deck Sailing Yacht , Below Deck Down Under , and Below Deck Adventure , most of which became equally successful as the OG show. The 2024 TV airing cycle for shows in the franchise kicked off with the Below Deck season 11 premiere on February 5, 2024. Still, fans wouldn't have to wait that long as another show is lined up to premiere just weeks after the finale.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 Is Delayed

The new bdsy season won’t air for a while..

After months of anticipation, Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans will have to wait a bit longer for season 5 to premiere, with emerging reports that Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 will take its spot in the 2024 TV airing schedule. Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 was expected to air after the OG Below Deck season 11 runs its course come June, but that has changed. According to reports, the new Below Deck Sailing Yacht season may have been delayed due to crew member Gary King, who was accused of misconduct during Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4.

A makeup artist who also worked on the show, Samantha Suarez, accused Gary of making inappropriate moves on her in a hotel room. Although Gary came out to deny the allegations, producers may edit Gary out of the new season or cancel it altogether. While the Below Deck Sailing Yacht crew has been dropping hints about filming another season in the past couple of months, in addition to some on-set leaked pictures, there have been no reports of an official casting or an airing date for Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5.

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9 Is Next

Fans will be getting a lot of below deck med.

Below Deck Mediterranean will return to the screens for its ninth season on June 3 , just five months after the season 8 finale. Since its debut, Below Deck Med has brought in substantial viewership numbers and the ratings for season 8 were also impressive. Below Deck Med season 8 featured all the traits that have made the show a favorite in recent years, with love triangles, an early exit, and fiery crew drama. Still, Captain Sandy Yawn will once again return to the helm of the yacht Mystique as she and her crew cruise through Athens, Greece.

Aesha Scott will return to Below Deck Med Season 9 as Chief Stew after her previous stint on the show as Second Stew during Season 4. Elena Dubaich will also return to the show as a stew after filling in for former crew member Kyle Viljoen during Below Deck Med season 7. According to the preview, Below Deck Med season 9 is set to be another dramatic season featuring strange guests and never-before medical and mechanical issues.

When Will Below Deck Down Under Season 3 Air?

Below deck down under’s return date is still unknown.

Since its debut, Below Deck Down Under has become a fan favorite, and after the dramatic events of season 2, the show has been renewed for a third season (via Premiere Date ). However, despite its renewal announcement, the premiere date of the new season has not been announced yet . The last two seasons of the show premiered during the Winter TV schedule, but that changed in 2024. Under the direction of Captain Jason Chambers, Below Deck Down Under crew members have been praised for positively portraying their personal lives and challenges faced during a charter season.

However, that almost changed during season 2 when bosun Luke Jones climbed into the third stew Margot Sisson's bed absolutely naked. Second stew Laura Bileskalne also entered deckhand Adam Kodra's room despite his protest, climbed into his bed without consent, and attempted to give him a massage before producers kicked her out. Luke and Laura were immediately fired by Captain Jason , who later revealed NBC and Bravo would put some new guidelines in place to prevent similar events from occurring (via Yahoo! ).

When Will Below Deck Season 12 Premiere?

New season of below deck is already in production.

The OG Below Deck returned to the screens for a historic eleventh season on February 5, 2024. With Captain Kerry Titheradge taking over at the helm after Captain Lee Rosbach's exit, the show has been delivering on its promise of another drama-filled adventure with just two episodes left before its May 20 finale. Nonetheless, Below Deck seems to have been renewed for its twelfth season after fans spotted Captain Kerry piloting the St. David on Simpson Bay Bridge in Sint Maarten.

Alongside Captain Kerry, who waved at photographers, fans also spotted Sunny Marquis, which indicated the filming of Below Deck season 12 was truly underway . Still, there haven't been any official announcements about when Below Deck season 12 will premiere, but the debut will definitely take some time, considering the crew is currently filming. However, with several Below Deck spin-offs lined up to premiere during the coming months, fans might have to wait till early 2025 before the OG show returns to the screens.

What Happened To Below Deck Adventure?

Below deck adventure might be getting the axe.

Below Deck Adventure premiered in 2022, promising to be another standout spin-off; however, the show failed to meet the high expectations both fans and the producers had set for it. For one, the show's cast hugely underperformed, with deckhand Kyle Dickard being fired after just three episodes. Meanwhile, Chief Stew Faye was criticized for being too bossy , and fans found Chef Jessica Condy's drama with crew mates unnecessary. Due to how unimpressive the first couple of episodes were, ratings for Below Deck Adventure plummeted and didn't recover for the rest of the season.

Since the season 1 finale, no new information has been released about Below Deck Adventure, and there are signs the show might not be getting another season.
