The New Below Deck Mediterranean Yacht Is One Of The Most Expensive Yet

It sleeps 13 guests in six cabins and contains a beach club, sun deck, gym, and jacuzzi.

The Lady Michelle Below Deck Mediterranean yacht via a screenshot

Below Deck Mediterranean is heading back to familiar waters. After sailing off the coast of Croatia in Season 2, the show is returning to the country for Season 6. Croatia was also recently featured in the second season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , which is why viewers might recognize the yacht now being used in Mediterranean Season 6, the Lady Michelle.

At the end of Below Deck Sailing Yacht’ s most recent season, the crew had to make a last-minute change to their charter when their original guests tested positive for COVID-19. Since the Lady Michelle was already in the area, its crew became the Sailing Yacht ’s new charter guests. There was a lot of panic from the Sailing Yacht crew about what it was going to be like to work for fellow yachties, though the Lady Michelle crew at the time isn’t the same one on Below Deck Med Season 6.

Nevertheless, the new crew will be taking its guests out on one of the show’s most expensive yachts ever. According to the Burgess Yachts chartering site, chartering the Lady Michelle costs $275,000 per week during the summer and up to $310,000 per week during the peak winter season.

By comparison, the ships used in the first two Mediterranean seasons (including the Sirocco that sailed Croatia last time) cost around $167,000 and $213,000 per week, respectively, while last season’s impressive Wellington ship reportedly cost around $243,000 per week .

There’s a reason the Lady Michelle is so pricey, though. According to The International Yacht Company, the massive ship can sleep 13 guests in six cabins and contains a beach club, sun deck, gym, and jacuzzi. It also comes with variety of water toys like wave runners, waterskis, and a waterslide, per Burgess. If someone wanted to buy the whole ship and sail it all year round, IYC has it listed for $19.5 million. And you might need to buy the ship to get it back to Croatia, because that’s not its usual charter route.

On Below Deck , the ship sailed up to scenic Šibenik in Croatia , but the Lady Michelle typically isn’t a Mediterranean vessel. According to Burgess Yachts, it sails the Caribbean and Bahamas in the summer and just the Bahamas in the winter. So don’t get too attached to the Croatian setting if you’re planning to charter Lady Michelle with all of your spare hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Lady Michelle Yacht: Behind The Scenes

Ian Fortey

The Lady Michelle yacht became famous on the show Below Deck: Mediterranean season 6 where it was featured prominently. It’s worth noting that the Lady Michelle has since been renamed and is actually called the Next Chapter now. However, most people still know her as the Lady Michelle because of her time on the TV show. 

The yacht features naval architecture and was built by Italian yacht maker Benetti with design work done by Stefano Natucci and delivered back in 2003. She features a steel hull over an aluminum superstructure. It was refitted in 2022 and that was when the name was changed as well. 

Who Owns The Lady Michelle Yacht?

lady michelle yacht below deck crew

 In 2003 the Lady Michelle was purchased by entrepreneur Mike Fernandez.  He maintained ownership of the yacht even during its time on the show Below Deck. However, in 2022 the yacht was sold to a company called 1 Ocean Yachts. They are a yacht brokerage firm that also does yacht charter management and the Lady Michelle was renamed to the Next Chapter and added to their charter fleet.

How Big is the Lady Michelle/Next Chapter Yacht?

lady michelle yacht below deck crew

The Lady Michelle is by no means the biggest yacht in the world but it’s still a good sized vessel at 180.5 feet in length. According to the yacht specifications she features a 34 foot beam and her gross tonnage is 909 GT.

How Much Did the Lady Michelle Yacht Cost?

It’s believed that when the Lady Michelle sold in 2022 and was renamed the Next Chapter she sold for $18,950,000. That was the last published asking price for the yacht . Some sources claim that her initial price in 2003 was about $25 million. The annual cost to keep the yacht running is around $2 million. 

Can You Charter the Lady Michelle Yacht?

The Next Chapter/Lady Michelle is available for charter. The current price for a Lady Michelle yacht charter is about $325,000 per week. This number can change based on time of year and demand, however. Because the yacht is one of the more well known in the world thanks to its appearance on the show, it does tend to be popular.

How Fast is the Lady Michelle Yacht and What Engines Does She Have?

lady michelle yacht below deck crew

The Next Chapter uses a set of Caterpillar 3512 Diesel engines. Her cruising speed is about 14 knots with a top speed of 16 knots. She has a range of about 3,000 nautical miles at cruising speed.

What’s the Interior of the Motor Yacht Lady Michelle Like?

While the yacht was featured on Below Deck as we said and there was plenty of time for people to get a look at the interior and exterior, not all of that is applicable anymore. The refit of 2022 and subsequent sale to make it a charter yacht included a lot of changes to the overall look of the yacht. So if you think you know the Lady Michelle you may not, and the fact it’s called the Next Chapter now is symbolic of that. But, fortunately, the fact it is a charter now means the company wants you to know all of the features and amenities it has to offer, so we have a pretty good idea of the interior and how everything looks. 

As we said before, the interior and exterior were managed by Italian designer Stefano Natucci. As a charter vessel she has six cabins that can offer room for up to 12 guests. This includes 1 Master suite, 1 VIP cabin, 2 Double cabins, and 2 Twin cabins. There are also 14 crew on board to help make everyone’s time more enjoyable.

The owner’s suite is also a split level to offer more space and views of the ocean. It features his and hers ensuite washroom facilities and offers a panoramic view of the ocean from the observation lounge. There’s also a private study 

When it comes to sleeping, guests enjoy a range of accommodations from the most luxurious with a king sized bed in the Master suite, to 3 queen sized in the VIP and doubles and then 4 singles and 1 pullman for those who are more inclined to rough it a little on a luxury yacht.

The interior was given traditional styling. This includes a lot of glossy wood finishes for a clean, shiny appearance. The color scheme is old school nautical blue and white for all the soft finishes like upholstery and pillows and so on. This, of course, matches the exterior paint on the hull.

Being a charter, the company in charge has packed the Next Chapter to the brim with all kinds of great features. Let’s take a look at some of the standouts.

Features and Amenities

Like any good luxury yacht, the Next Chapter has a wide range of activities, comforts and indulgences available for those who charter her. She also features a range of water toys that is a little more extensive than you may find on similar yachts. These include:

  • A full gym with the latest equipment that is enclosed on the sundeck
  • Deck Jacuzzi
  • An open air cinema on deck for movie nights
  • A saloon for socializing and enjoying drinks
  • An elevator to move between the yacht’s four decks
  • Two SeaDoo Spark Trixx WaveRunners
  • The deck has an al fresco dining area
  • Two seabobs
  • Two Kayaks, 
  • Fishing equipment
  • Snorkeling gear
  • Waterslides
  • Two stand-up paddle boards
  • Three tenders including a 45 foot Yamaha Seahunter Tournament Tender
  • There’s an exterior bar on deck as well as a BBQ for drinks and entertaining under the sun or stars
  • A swim platform

What Happened with the Lady Michelle Yacht Drug Bust? 

lady michelle yacht below deck crew

Being on the show Below Deck was not the Lady Michelle’s only brush with fame. Back in 2017 a boat of the same name also made international headlines after it was involved in a sizable drug deal. The boat, flagged as a fishing vessel , was discovered off the coast of South America with a remarkable 4.2 tonnes of cocaine on board. The street value at the time was pegged at about $125 million. 

While this boat was seized by both the US and the National Crime Agency, it was an unfortunate mix up with names that got the Lady Michelle yacht involved. This may also be part of the reason the newest owners changed the name, so as to distance themselves from what was, at the time, the largest drug seizure since 1999. You can imagine people who own the boat not wanting anyone to Google a potential charter and discover it was used as a boat to smuggle drugs, even though it was just a case of mistaken identity because they had the same name.

The Lady Michelle that had possession of the drugs was a 70 foot fishing vessel based out of St. Vincent and Grenadines. 

The Bottom Line

The Lady Michelle was built in the year 2003 for entrepreneur and philanthropist Mike Fernandez. It was featured on the sixth season of the show Below Deck: Mediterranean which gave the vessel some international attention. However, after it was sold in 2022 for about $18, 950,000 the vessel was retrofitted and also renamed the Next Chapter.

The Next Chapter is just about 180 feet in length and has a top speed of 16 knots. It’s available for charter at a cost of around $325,000 per week and has accommodations for a total of 12 guests. It features a number of luxury amenities and a lot of toys for those on board.

Why Lady Michelle Is Captain Sandy's Favorite Below Deck Mediterranean Yacht to Date

All aboard!

In an exclusive chat with E! News, Below Deck Mediterranean 's Captain Sandy Yawn dished all about her season six yacht, named Lady Michelle. Fans of the Below Deck franchise got a taste of the luxury vessel during season two of Below Deck Sailing Yacht . Yet, in the new season of Below Deck Med , viewers will get a front row seat to what the yacht has to offer.

And, from what Captain Sandy told us, Lady Michelle is one impressive yacht. "My favorite boat ever," she shared. "It was like so solid, I didn't even know we were at sea."

While the layout of Lady Michelle is certainly breathtaking, boasting six guest cabins and over 180 feet in length, the captain revealed that she loved the way it handles. "For me, how it responds in the sea," she explained. "You know, the layout was great, it's for charter...The volume for the size was incredible."

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 6: Meet the Cast

This is certainly high praise coming from Captain Sandy, who has previously captained mega-yachts Sirocco, Talisman Maiton and The Wellington. However, after learning of Lady Michelle's $310,000 winter rate/per week, we can't say we're shocked that the yacht is so spectacular.

Although Lady Michelle typically sails the Caribbean and Bahamas, Captain Sandy led her through the waters of Croatia this season. On returning to the European country's coast, she relayed, "It was absolutely beautiful. The people were great. You know, remember, it was very quiet 'cause of what was going on around the world."

Per the captain, she was "just grateful" that they "got to go there."

Speaking of the coronavirus pandemic, Captain Sandy assured us that season six will be just as entertaining and fabulous as its predecessors. "We made it incredible, right?" she said. "So, that's the beauty of being on a boat is you can quarantine off-shore and have this epic time and see these beautiful places while the rest of the world is shut down."

Craziest Guests on Below Deck

The captain highlighted how the charter business also helped the economy. She concluded, "At the same time, you're employing people, you're provisioning, you're buying goods. You know, so you're helping the community at the same time."

Below Deck Mediterranean premieres tonight, June 28 at 9 p.m. on Bravo . All new episodes will be available on Peacock one week early, starting June 21.

'Below Deck Med' 6.17 Review: Nothing Comes Over Easy

Mathew once again proves to be a volatile, insecure person as the latest season of 'below deck med' comes to a close..

Katie, Lloyd, Malia, Mzi and Courtney visit a Croatian winery as a reward for working hard throughout 'Below Deck Mediterranean' Season 6.

What to Watch Verdict

The finale encapsulates all of the drama that's happened and provides a fitting closure for one of the most tumultuous seasons the show has ever had.

It is undeniable that the remaining crew members have truly bonded throughout the season, and that's vividly clear as it comes to a close.

It may produce great TV drama to cast insecure, unpredictable people like Mathew on reality series, but it's probably not healthy for people to watch.

Halfway through the final charter of Below Deck Mediterranean season 6, the wheels are starting to fall off for the crew of the Lady Michelle: chef Mathew barely makes it through breakfast without having a complete breakdown, Katie is working without a break, there’s a picnic on land planned and the ship is starting to drift from its position. After spending several episodes reiterating her confidence in deciding to complete the season one stew down, Katie finally begins to recognize the challenges that she had laid out for herself, even as Malia’s team has comfortably settled into a flow where everyone is working together harmoniously.

After Malia sets up the picnic in a “600-year-old prison,” she retrieves the guests and brings them over for lunch. Katie soon joins them while Malia works with Lloyd, Mzi and David to weigh anchor before the boat is dragged into waters that are too shallow. Lloyd eventually disconnects the floating dock and pilots it behind the ship with a jet ski while the rest of the members of the deck crew skillfully perform the tasks needed to get the boat into a safer place. Both Malia and David have become very supportive of Mzi as the resident “greenie” throughout the season, and he’s proved to be reliable, hard-working and conscientious.

In the interior, however, Katie is rapidly reaching her breaking point. The guests haven’t been unreasonably demanding, but they’ve also been much more difficult than their predecessors; suffice it to say that many of the problems the crew face would be resolved or at least alleviated with one or two more crew members — even if one of them was Delaney. At the same time, Mathew has become pathetically needy, seeking Katie’s input on every choice for every meal. As she works a shift that grows longer by the minute, she doesn’t have the energy to coddle his ego and tells him repeatedly she does not care and for him to figure things out.

Lloyd proposes that the deck crew make Malia a thank-you card for all of her support, but while he’s working on it on the boat’s one computer, she interrupts to remind him there are tasks to be done on the deck. Despite this mild scolding, she recommends him for a job to Marten, one of the Lady Michelle’s engineers, to help with the ship’s crossing out of Croatia. Marten offers Lloyd the job and it appears that the young boatsman’s future is on more solid ground than he’d feared when he experienced a panic attack ahead of the final charter.

After rebuffing Mathew earlier while he was in his insecurity spiral, Katie apologizes to him for being grumpy and that seems to relieve his feelings of anxiety and embolden him to finish the season on a positive note. Nevertheless, she ends up working for 20.5 hours straight when the guests stay up until 4:00 a.m. playing cards and asking for beverages while they do so. Again, I’m not sure this is unreasonable behavior if you’ve spent several thousands of dollars on a boat charter where it’s reasonable to expect to have every want or need accommodated, but it certainly weighs on Katie as her marathon shift winds on.

Courtney makes her best effort to mix Bloody Marys and other cocktails for the guests the following morning while Mathew prepares a decidedly more simple breakfast than the previous morning by offering only French toast. Katie gets a few hours’ sleep while Captain Sandy heads back to dock at Sibenik, the port they called home throughout the season. After arriving at port and the guests disembark, Sandy instructs the crew to meet in the salon for the tip meeting — their final of the season. She earnestly pays compliments to Katie, Mathew and tearfully to Malia, the latter of whom she has mentored for several seasons, before announcing the final gratuity: $20,000, or $1,818 per person. In case you happen to be wondering whether working on a boat for a season is worth the pain and drama, Sandy reveals that the crew collectively earned $132,385 in tips — pretty good for 10-12 people for seven weeks (above and beyond their wages).

After the crew cleans up the ship, Sandy suggests inviting Luca the replacement chef, who they did not use and therefore hung out alone for four or five weeks, over to the Lady Michelle for a drink and an introduction. To be clear, the season is over. He will not be working, much less taking over for Mathew. But Mathew is one of the more immature people ever to be in a position of real responsibility on a reality show, so of course he becomes insanely insecure when Luca joins them briefly for a beer. It’s honestly one of the most pathetic displays in this show’s history.

Sandy joins the crew for dinner at the same site where earlier in the season Courtney and Mzi ate it while drunk. She begins a series of compliments and gestures of appreciation that rapidly spread around the table, but she leaves before things can deteriorate too badly; Mathew, for his part, attempts to remain sober so that he won’t make another embarrassing display of antagonism after doing so on almost every other crew night out. The remainder of the crew heads back to the Lady Michelle to celebrate on board with a proper display of embarrassing drunkenness. Crew members attempt to ride the lazy susan on the table in the crew mess, for example. But after everyone else goes to bed, Malia actually spends some real time cleaning up so that they can leave the ship easily and effortlessly in the morning.

On the final morning, crew members shuffle up to say goodbye to Sandy, expressing their appreciation for a season that, well, almost everyone got through, but that they got through despite plenty of conflicts and of course the existential threat of COVID. From there, they depart for “Split,” the housing the crew collectively rented for a comedown or celebration after the season. The show’s producers ask what went on during that time and no one will speak, but one suspects that the possibilities are more interesting than the realities.

After 16 weeks, the most important thing to say about Below Deck Mediterranean is that the show made it, sometimes awkwardly, to a finish line that was not necessarily certain it would reach. The structure of the show was often unwieldy and it too frequently erred too heavily on one side of the divide that has defined the show since its inception between interpersonal drama and workplace tedium. But season 6 feels to some extent like an essential throat-clearing exercise that the show’s fans possibly had to experience so it, and they, could move forward. That said, who knows when things will full return to a semblance of normalcy; but this show remains one of the best reality series on TV, and even if this season wasn’t great, it tapped into enough of the things that make it essential watching for so many.

How to charter a Below Deck superyacht

Want to know how much it would cost to charter one of the luxury superyachts featured on US hit TV series Below Deck ? We take a look inside Below Deck ’s famous superyachts that you can charter for yourself, and find out what they have to offer charter guests on board.

Northern Sun

The star yacht of Below Deck Down Under season two, the 50.8-metre Northern Sun (originally delivered as Hokko Maru ) has lived a full and fascinating life. She was the largest yacht built by Narasaki Shipbuilding at the time and worked as an ice-class research vessel, analysing marine life and ocean currents in the North Japan Sea. As a result, she has the hardy constitution of an explorer, transformed from ship to superyacht under the stewardship of her new owners.

Northern Sun’s main deck is now dedicated entirely to entertainment, from the al fresco dining area to the main saloon with its piano and games table. Other leisure highlights include gym equipment, a dedicated library on the lower deck and an outdoor Jacuzzi, surrounded by sun pads and lounge beds. The owners’ addition of a forward seating area during her refit allows for versatile recreation, whether the mood calls for cocktail parties or quiet, waterside contemplation. 

Accommodation is for up to 12 guests across six cabins, with rich, warm interiors that feature natural materials such as narra and makore wood (commonly known as cherry mahogany). The ex-explorer also – naturally – has impressive stowing capacity. She's able to carry two Laser sailboats, scuba-diving equipment, a waterski and a two-deck-high inflatable water slide, with the broker describing her as a "family-orientated" vessel. 

Charter cost: Northern Sun is managed for charter by Ocean Independence with a weekly charter rate starting from $161,700.

The star of Below Deck Mediterranean season seven, 49.8 metre Home is the first “green” superyacht to appear on the show. Featuring a ground-breaking combination of a super-efficient Fast Displacement Hull Form by Van Oossanen Naval Architects with power provided by a hybrid propulsion system, Home boasts reduced emissions and fuel costs for the eco-conscious charter guest.

Defined by a distinctive vertical bow and large expanses of glass, Home was penned by Omega Architects and launched by Heesen in 2017.

Closer to the water, a beach club with an air-conditioned gym is situated next to the swimming platform from which guests can launch the water toys including SeaBobs, Hoverboards, E-foils, Jet Skis and a Flyboard. Home also carries gear for scuba diving, waterskiing and wakesurfing for guests to make the most of their time on board.

Charter cost: Home is managed for charter by Burgess with a weekly charter rate starting from $245,000.

Sailing under her own name around the South Pacific islands of French Polynesia on Below Deck’s sixth series, the 56.4 metre My Seanna (now Starship ) was built by Delta Marine in 2000 and refitted in 2014. The Glade-Johnson designed superyacht reappeared again for season eight, where she was filmed cruising in Antigua. She is now starring in the latest season of the show, season nine, following her recent sale .

Key features include an open air Jacuzzi surrounded by an al fresco drinks bar, a gym, a sauna room, a helipad and a spacious beach club complete with a lounge, flatscreen TV and a small galley for preparing snacks or drinks. Her opulent interiors can accommodate up to 12 guests and 11 crew and even offer a home cinema and piano for entertaining in the main saloon. There are multiple toys carried on board as well, including gear for diving and spearfishing, Seabobs and equipment for underwater filming.

“The thing that I really love about My Seanna is the spacious cabins” says Worth Avenue retail charter broker, Shannon McCoy, who has appeared on episodes of Below Deck . She describes My Seanna as a “well-appointed yacht with a good collection of toys for the guests to enjoy,” offering an excellent layout with a variety of spaces that allows charterers “to have breakfast in a different place every morning or enjoy dinner whether it's outside under the sun or in the formal dining area.”

Charter cost: Starship is managed for charter by Worldwide Boat with a weekly charter rate starting from $275,000.

Lady Michelle

Sailing under her real name, Lady Michelle was the star of the sixth series of Below Deck Mediterranean , which was the latest series from the Med spin off. The 54.8 metre Benetti superyacht is the second biggest yacht ever to feature on the show, following just behind the 56.2 metre motor yacht The Wellington from season five. During season six Lady Michelle hosted charter guests in Ibenik, Croatia with Captain Sandy behind the helm.

First delivered in 2003, Lady Michelle features accommodation for up to 14 guests including a split-level master suite with its own panoramic observation lounge. Her Stefano Natucci interiors offer indoor and al fresco dining spaces, an expansive sundeck with a hot tub and dedicated gym. There’s also a range of toys at the guests’ disposal, from Jet Skis and Seabobs to fishing gear and a waterslide.

Charter cost: Lady Michelle is managed by Burgess with a weekly charter rate starting from $325,000.

The 47 metre Heesen -built superyacht Sirocco took centre stage in both the second and fourth series of Below Deck Mediterranean and introduced captain Sandy Yawn, who has become a returning cast member on the show. Launched in 2006 with a refit in 2013, Sirocco features a dark blue hull and was designed inside and out by Omega Architects . She accommodates up to 12 guests and nine crew and offers charterers an eight person Jacuzzi, a gym, plenty of al fresco entertainment areas and a well-stocked toy box comprising Jet Skis, a waterslide and gear for wakeboarding or waterskiing. Worth Avenue retail charter broker Shannon McCoy describes Sirocco as a “very, very popular charter yacht” and with her fleet of water toys and pedigree Heesen design, provides “an excellent platform for a great time at sea.”

Charter cost: Sirocco is managed for charter by Worth Avenue with a weekly charter rate starting from €195,000.

Ionian Princess

Appropriately named for the first season of Below Deck Mediterranean , which was set in Greece, the 45.7 metre Christensen -built yacht was captained by Mark Howard during filming. Launched in 2005 and last refitted in 2016, Ionian Princess features a luxurious Greek-style inspired interior finished with high-gloss sapelle mahogany joinery and custom in-laid stonework throughout. Ionian Princess can host up to 12 guests in six cabins, including two master cabins, and also boasts plentiful dining options and a sundeck equipped with a hot tub and sunpads. She also comes with a fleet of water toys from waterskiing and wakeboarding kit to Jet Skis and kayaks. Thanks to her shallow draft, she can also access hard-to-reach hidden gems in the Mediterranean Sea that other larger yachts aren’t able to. “ Ionian Princess is ideally suited for cruising the Mediterranean, which is the most sought-after region for summer yacht charters,” says her management team at charter brokers Northrop & Johnson.

Charter cost: Ionian Princess is managed by Northrop & Johnson with a weekly charter rate starting from $175,000.

Parsifal III

Parsifal III has been the star of the sailing yacht spin off of Below Deck , captained by Glenn Shephard during filming. The 54 metre Perini Navi was launched in 2005 and was designed by Rémi Tessier . She was most recently refitted in 2020, and offers accommodation for a total of 12 guests and nine crew. Her design has seen her scoop a number of World Superyacht Awards and provides her with excellent performance capabilities at sea; when the weather is on your side, Parsifal III can hit speeds of up to 18 knots under sail. While at anchor, there is still plenty to keep guests entertained with a variety of al fresco and indoor dining spaces, a flybridge hot tub, gym equipment, a swimming platform and a fully-stocked toybox.

Charter cost: Parsifal III is managed for charter by Camper & Nicholsons with a weekly charter rate starting from €195,000.

Appearing on the second season of the show in 2014 under her own name, Ohana has since been sold and renamed Star Diamond The yacht was originally launched as Roxana by Admiral Marine in 1998 and last refitted in 2018. Designed by Donald Starkey , her interiors have a classic feel with glossy wood finishes and a colour palette blending nautical colours like creamy whites and marine blues. Key features on board this 46.94 metre yacht include accommodation for 10 guests and 10 crew, a six person Jacuzzi on the sun deck alongside a barbecue grill and plenty of spaces for al alfresco dining and drinking.

Charter cost: Star Diamond is managed by Ahoy Club and Northrop & Johnson with a weekly charter rate starting from $160,000.

This 50 metre Benetti superyacht kicked off the yachting TV show in style in July 2013. Captained by Lee Rosbach , she was based in the Caribbean isles during the filming of the first season. On Below Deck she was called Honor but in reality, her name is actually Barents . Delivered in 1999 to a design by Stefano Natucci , Barents just underwent an extensive full refit earlier in 2021 and can host up to 12 guests on board in six staterooms. Features viewers may have seen on the show include the stunning sun deck equipped with a hot tub, drinks bar and outdoor cinema, the additional indoor cinema, the beach club and the gym, as well as the extensive fleet of water toys such as Jet Skis and gear for wakeboarding, waterskiing, fishing and snorkelling.

Charter cost: Barents is not currently available for charter, though she was sold in 2020 for $9,900,000 by IYC and Worth Avenue Yachts to a buyer represented by Parsifal Yachting.

Below Deck Season 11's Crew Is One Of The Best (They're Rejuvenating The Show)

  • New crew on Below Deck season 11 brings fresh tension and drama, captivating viewers and keeping the show exciting.
  • Captain Kerry brings a major upgrade to the St. David compared to previous seasons, allowing for a new environment for crew members.
  • Crew members like Cat and Jared faced struggles early on, but the team came together well to handle challenges and work smoothly.

Below Deck season 11’s crew has changed entirely from the last season’s, which has created new tension and drama while keeping the show fresh . Throughout Below Deck season 10, viewers were concerned with how the crew navigated throughout the charter season. In dealing with the absence of Captain Lee Rosbach, which brought Below Deck Mediterranean ’s Captain Sandy Yawn to take over, viewers struggled to stay interested in the happenings aboard the superyacht. The yachties aboard the St. David on Below Deck season 10 may have pushed the viewers away from the series, but the newest group won them back.

After years of Captain Lee at the helm, welcoming Captain Kerry Titheradge to the ship has been a major upgrade for the St. David. While Captain Lee was a beloved part of Below Deck, his time aboard the St. David was spotty at times, creating tension between his crew members in a way that made it difficult for them to do their jobs appropriately. The Below Deck season 11 Captain and crew have created an environment where the crew members can make mistakes and own up to them, which extends the series to a whole new type of drama.

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

Below deck season 11 has a new captain & crew.

Captain Kerry isn’t the only new addition to Below Deck season 11, many of the crew members are first-timers in the Below Deck franchise. With the exception of Chief Stew Fraser Olender and Bosun Ben Willoughby , the entirety of the crew is comprised of first-time members aboard the St. David. The exterior crew, which includes Deckhand Kyle Stillie, Deckhand Marie “Sunny” Marquis, and new Deckhand Dylan Pierre De Villiers along with Ben has been able to avoid drama as they’ve moved through helping Captain Kerry guide the vessel and the charter guests with activities off of the illustrious superyacht.

The interior crew has been somewhat more of an issue throughout Below Deck season 11, but is shaping up to be one of the most interesting mixes of stews the series has ever seen. Led by Fraser, Second Stew Xandi Olivier, Third Stew Barbie Pascual, and former Fourth Stew Cat Baugh have had their work cut out for them. While Xandi and Barbie have excelled throughout the season , Cat had some issues early on and had to deal with them off the superyacht. Despite dealing with some problems in their working relationships, the interior crew has proven to be thorough.

Jared Woodin & Cat Baugh Struggled Early In The Season

Although the crew has been great overall, Cat and former Bosun Jared Woodin have had a difficult time with their work on the St. David. Cat, who struggled with control issues, wound up having to leave the St. David to attend to her mental health and personal issues at home. Jared, who boarded the St. David confident he could handle work as a Bosun, made several mistakes as he worked through his first charters. After making too many dangerous mistakes, J ared had to come to grips with the fact that his head wasn’t in the work . He ultimately was fired.

Without Cat & Jared, The Crew Has Worked Well Together

Cat and Jared left the St. David around the same time, and while being short-staffed wasn’t easy for the crew, they worked well together to make sure things were going smoothly. Captain Kerry helped wherever he could, taking the initiative to ensure that his crew knew he was with them as much as possible. For the Below Deck team, understanding that they had the Captain on their side was key, and they were able to work through their struggles as they got through a difficult charter. Working as smoothly as they could, the Below Deck crew did a great job.

The St. David Crew's Headed For Drama, But They Can Handle It

While things look like they’re heating up for the St. David’s crew moving into the rest of the Below Deck season , they’ve been a strong unit since the start of the season. With Xandi and Fraser seemingly ganging up on Barbie while Ben’s job as Bosun becomes more difficult, the drama will be ramping up on Below Deck season 11. As showmances change and charter guests get more demanding, the team is going to be thrown all-new curves as the season continues. Thankfully, the crew seems prepared to take on anything that comes their way, even Below Deck level drama.

Below Deck airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo, then streams the following day on Peacock.

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.

lady michelle yacht below deck crew

The Below Deck Mediterranean Season 6 crew will be coming together virtually for a reunion with host Andy Cohen on Monday, October 18 at 10/9c. However, Malia White has stayed in close contact with at least one member of the Lady Michelle crew since the charter season ended.

How to Watch

Watch Below Deck Mediterranean  on Peacock  and the Bravo app . 

The bosun confirmed on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen last month that she is currently dating the vessel's engineer for the charter season, Jake . He was one of the crew members who worked aboard the Lady Michelle but that we didn't really see on-camera throughout the charter season.

So, of course, Andy had to ask Malia all about her buzzy, new romance during the upcoming Below Deck Med Season 6 reunion. "Malia, you are with hot Jake the engineer, right?" Andy asks the bosun in the above sneak peek at the reunion, which is met with cheers from the rest of the crew.

Malia White Confirms She's Dating Below Deck Med's Engineer Jake

We'll have to wait and see what kind of tea Malia spills on her relationship when the reunion airs. But, as you can see in the above preview, that won't be the only jaw-dropping moment of the night.

You better believe Andy will be getting to the bottom of all the biggest moments of the season, including Malia and Captain Sandy Yawn 's heated moment , Mathew Shea 's behavior , and Katie Flood 's decision to end the charter season with just two stews in the interior.

It all kicks off with the Below Deck Med Season 6 finale at 9/8c, followed by the reunion on WWHL at 10/9c.
