Inside the John Cerasani Charter Guest Drama on Below Deck Sailing Yacht

The  Parsifal III  crew deals with demanding guests, an off-board accident, and an unfortunate incident with an iron. 

When it comes to going above and beyond for charter guests, the  Parsifal III  crew is always determined to do their absolute best. Sometimes that includes fulfilling some unusual requests, and sometimes that includes tending to  a lot  of those requests in a short period of time. 

How to Watch

Watch Below Deck Sailing Yacht on Bravo on Monday, October 7 at 9/8c and next day on  Peacock . Catch up on the Bravo app . 

On Episodes 5 and 6 of  Below Deck Sailing Yacht  Season 4, which aired May 8 and 9, respectively, the crew and  Captain Glenn Shephard  were met with various challenges, ranging from a bevy of food and drink orders to a serious accident that took place while guests were playing water sports. 

At the preference sheet meeting, viewers learned that the next primary is John Cerasani, a businessman from Chicago, as well as his girlfriend Natalia, daughter Anastasia, son Jacob, and friends TJ and Lauren. 

For the charter, crew members Daisy Kelliher , Gary King , Illeisha Dell , Colin MacRae , Lucy Edmunds , Mads Herrera , Alex Propson , and Chase Lemacks all made their best effort, though some things went awry. 

Scroll down to dig into the drama that made for a slightly stormy ride during John Cerasani’s charter: 

Who is John Cerasani? 

According to his Instagram bio, John Cerasani is a Chicago-based “venture capitalist and author” as well as a podcaster. 

Additionally, Cerasani notes on his website that he’s a “serial entrepreneur” and “business expert,” explaining how he “quit his comfortable job” in insurance at 27 and went on to start his own company in the same industry. After 10 years, a private equity firm bought out his company, making him “millions of dollars before the age of 40.” 

To celebrate his success and the release of his book,  2000 Percent Raise , Cerasani brought his friends and family aboard  Parsifal III  for a splendid sailing vacation. 

What happened on the charter? 

After chef Ileisha was provided with a lengthy list of dietary restrictions, the crew reviewed what they called “high-maintenance requests,” including a “post-dinner drink and gelato station.” Still, the crew as a whole didn’t seem too fazed by what lay ahead of them. 

What kinds of requests did the guests make? 

The interior crew fielded various food and drink requests from the guests, from Aperol spritzes to grilled cheeses to cookies-and-cream milkshakes, seemingly happening at an alarming rate. 

In a confessional, Daisy complained that the guests were asking “for everything under the sun” as she raced back and forth between the kitchen and the deck. She went on to decry Gary’s request for a stew to drive the tender when some of the guests opted for a beach day, leaving her to fend for herself in the interior. 

Later, on the beach, Lucy, who joined to serve the guests, faced more drama when it came to her attention that they didn’t bring enough supplies for the occasion. 

“I’m not a pretentious guy, but… we shouldn’t have to put our bones in with the other food, should we?” John asked his son, Jacob, after realizing they didn’t have anywhere to put their half-eaten chicken wings. Lucy improvised by moving some vegetables on a tray over to make room for the bones, but that tray ultimately hit the sand when Jacob took a tumble in his chair. What a mess! 

What accident occurred on the yacht? 

On Episode 5, which aired on May 8, John’s son, Jacob, was warned to keep a distance when using the eFoil on the water. Unfortunately, he ended up crashing into John’s friend TJ, resulting in the season’s first serious guest injury 

While TJ continued to say he was fine, he had a bad gash on his head, causing Captain Glenn to call a medic. The medic determined that TJ should go to the hospital to receive care. 

TJ ultimately recovered just fine and the guests continued their evening with dinner, but the vibes were a bit off at that point. 

What happened with a charter guest’s dress? 

While the guests were relaxing before dinner, Lucy took to ironing charter guest Lauren’s dress — and made an unfortunate mistake. 

“I just burned her dress!” Lucy exclaimed. “Her dress just melted on me!”  

After Mads helped console her fellow stew, the girls reached out to Daisy for assistance. Like a pro, Daisy calmly attended to the issue, noting the mistake to Lauren and informing her that they would reimburse her for the piece of clothing. 

“Having to tell this guest that we f-cked up so majorly bad and that we’re probably gonna get some more sh-t feedback from Glenn… the anxiety is sky-high right now,” Daisy stated during a confessional. 

How did the charter end? 

Ultimately, even with the hiccups and the various dramas, the charter still ended on a good note  and with a generous tip. 

John and his guests left the crew a $23,000 tip, working out to 2,250 euros each. 

“This is what we needed,” Alex said in a confessional. “Nothing cuts through the tension quite like $23,000. Thank god!”

Below Deck : Sailing Yacht Season 5 officially marked the end of Parsifal III’s Three Muskateers. But why did Colin leave Below Deck: Sailing Yacht and what happened to him, Gary, and Daisy off-camera? The real reason he quit the show may surprise Bravo fans.

Colin Macrae joined Below Deck : Sailing Yacht in Season 2 as a Chief Engineer for Parsifal III. Season 2 also marked the first season for Chief Stewardess Daily Kelliher and First Officer Gary King, who Colin became best friends with and was later involved in a love triangle with in Season 4, which ended in a fallout between Daisy, Colin, and Gary over their drama during the season. When the cast for Below Deck: Sailing Yacht Season 5 was announce with Daisy, Gary, Captain Glenn Shephard and a lineup of new crew members, Colin was noticeably missing.

Why did Colin leave Below Deck: Sailing Yacht ?

In an Instagram comment to a fan in September 2024, Colin revealed that he left Below Deck : Sailing Yacht after Season 4 to take care of his mental health.” Will miss you on the new series of BD Sailing,” a user commented on an Instagram photo of Colin on a boat he renovated, to which Colin responded, “my mental well being was more important haha.”

Though he’s no longer on Below Deck : Sailing Yacht , Colin also encouraged Bravo fans to follow him on his YouTube channel , Parlay Revival, where he shares videos of his yachting life. “Definitely following your adventures here and on YouTube ❤️ would rather see you in your happy place than on a Bravo show. Glad the world got to know you through BDSY and can now just watch you shine ☺️,” a user commented, to which Colin responded, “thanks for the king words!” Another user wrote, “Gutted you’re not on the next season of bd sailing, but super stoked that you’re happy and we can always watch your YouTube channel 🎉😁” to which Colin replied, “you sure can!”

Where do Colin and Daisy stand after their Below Deck: Sailing Yacht drama?

In an interview with E! News in October 2024, Daisy confirmed that she and Colin don’t talk after their breakup on Below Deck: Sailing Yacht Season 4, though she’s still there for him if he ever needed to reach out. “We don’t really talk,” Daisy said. “If he needed anything, obviously he could give me a call. But we don’t really keep in touch.”

While they don’t keep in touch, Daisy revealed that she did receive a text from Colin in September 2024 after Bravo released the trailer for Below Deck: Sailing Yacht Season 5, which saw Daisy looking back at her drama with Colin and Gary. “I got a message from him the other day about a comment I made about him,” Daisy said. “I hope he’s not mad at me saying this, because I basically referred to him as ‘dead weight,’ which was a joke. He just messaged me like, ‘Dead weight?’ Laughing emoji. Hopefully he saw the funny side.”

Daisy also explained why she went into Below Deck: Sailing Yacht Season 5 with so many heated feelings toward Gary, the third part of her love triangle with Colin. “The reunion created a lot of tension, so that’s why we went in so heated,” Daisy said. “It’s hard looking back on that because I was so angry after the reunion and the way I was treated.”

Though Daisy admitted that she “was not looking forward to seeing him, working with him, being around” Gary, she confirmed that the two have since worked through their issues.

“I’m not somebody to hold a grudge and I don’t like holding on to anger,” she said. “We obviously have to find a way to work with each other.” She continued, “I’m absolutely fine with Gary. We’re not the best of friends, we live very separate lives. But I have no issues with him.”

Below Deck: Sailing Yacht is available to stream on Peacock .

<p>Nancy Lee Grahn, who plays Alexis Davis on General Hospital, would definitely stir the pot if she was on The Real Housewives. Anyone who follows her on social media knows she is very outspoken and not afraid of confrontation. She’d likely become the center of some kind of controversy before long because of what she might say.</p>

<p>Katherine Kelly Lang, who plays Brooke Logan on Bold & Beautiful, already owns a Beverly Hill boutique, Benheart. Seeing many of the other housewives also have their own boutiques and fashion lines, she would be a perfect fit! It would also be delicious to see how her on-screen rivalry with Shauna Fulton, played by Denise Richards, translates off-screen.</p>

<p>Young & Restless’ Michelle Stafford has her own skincare line, Skin Nation, so we think she’d fit in perfectly with the other housewives. She’s also raising her children on her own, something she could bond with Kyle Richards, who was also raised by a single mother. Richards’ mom even became manager to two of her daughters, Kyle and Kim Richards, who became child actresses.</p>

<p>Sure Chrishell Stause is already starring in Netflix’s Selling Sunset, but many of the other housewives juggle other projects. And seeing the drama she’s gone through this past year with her marriage to This is Us’ Justin Hartley falling apart, she could really let loose and get crazy as a Beverly Hills housewife. Plus she knows how to deal with snarky women already as we’ve seen on her Netflix show. </p>

<p>With Kristian Alfonso out as Hope Brady on Days of our Lives, perhaps The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills could be her next gig. Plus it would reunite her with her former co-star Lisa Rinna, who played Billie Reed and one of Hope’s biggest rivals for Bo Brady’s love and attention. Days of our Lives fans would eat up seeing how these two interact off-screen. </p>

<p>General Hospital’s Kelly Monaco (Sam McCall) is no stranger to reality television, having competed twice on Dancing with the Stars and appearing on the short-lived series Dirty Soap. We imagine Monaco would be a more calm and down to earth housewife, probably someone who would connect with Teddi Mellencamp. Of course when push comes to shove, we could see her turning into a real firework if need be.</p>

<p>Camilla Banus, who plays fashion mogul Gabi Hernandez on Days of our Lives, would be a breath of fresh air on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She’d bring some youth to the show, as well as her fiery Latina personality. Banus has been known to go off on her haters on social media, so we think she could hold her own with the ladies on the show.</p>

<p>Former Young & Restless actress Victoria Rowell (Drucilla Winters) has long been outspoken and an advocate for more representation of people of color on daytime. She remains a fan favorite to this day, and would no doubt bring some strong opinions to the ladies of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The show just this season added its first African American housewife, Haitian born actress Garcelle Beauvais.</p>

<p>Laura Wright, who plays Carly Corinthos on General Hospital, would fit right in on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She and her former husband owned a winery, and the women on the show definitely love their wine. She also likes to remain fit and active but also is trained in meditation, so perhaps she can help the ladies find some inner peace at tense times. Of course, playing one of the biggest hypocrites on General Hospital, she hopefully has a lot of experience spotting one in real life. </p>

<p>Jacqueline MacInnes Wood plays a fashion designer Steffy Forrester on Bold & Beautiful, so we think she’d fit right in with the other fashionistas on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Being the mother of a one-year-old, she’d probably bond with Teddi Mellencamp, who is pregnant with her third child, and Dorit Kemsley who also has two small children.</p>

Below Deck Sailing Yacht’s Biggest Drama Through the Years: Jean-Luc and Dani’s Baby Bombshell, Captain Glenn’s Accident and More

The drama has already reached unexpected heights on Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

During season 2 of the hit show, the crew was rocked with a shocking twist when Dani Soares claimed that Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux was the father of her baby. Jean-Luc, who wasn’t able to attend the reunion with the rest of his cast members, later spoke with Andy Cohen and even left an emotional message to his ex.

Jean-Luc later acknowledged his paternity after Dani opened up to  Us Weekly about life as a single mom.

“Not having a partner makes it hard for me to have time to shower, eat a meal with no rush or simply [sitting] down alone for a few minutes. I could definitely use [help] with having a nanny coming in even just for a couple hours a day so I could take care of myself and recharge,” the reality star, who gave birth to her daughter two months prior , exclusively told Us in July 2021. “At the moment I can only recharge when a friend comes over, and obviously, they have their lives and can’t be here every day.”

Meanwhile, Gary King, Daisy Kelliher and Colin MacRae  rocked the franchise with their love triangle. “Contrary to what many of you may believe, I am still friends with Colin and Daisy.

You will not bring me down.

Glenn's Major Accident

After dealing with a prior issue on the yacht, the deck crew weren't prepared for the crash that followed immediately after that .

Glenn Shepard  admitted that "hitting the dock like that can be a season ending incident," according to an interview with  E! News  in May 2021.

Colin MacRae  later weighed in on what caused the accident.

"To this day we have no idea what exactly went wrong. Which kinda sucks because if we knew why, we would be able to fix whatever went wrong," he wrote via Instagram in May 2021. "It’s like when your computer sometimes freezes without any warning or explanation. Just terrible luck I guess…"

Jean-Luc and Dani's Baby

Even though Dani didn't want to speak badly about Jean-Luc, especially when he wasn't present  to explain his side of the story , her cast members had plenty of opinions about his reaction to her pregnancy.

"She's working so hard. She's doing 12-hour days. She's trying to get herself prepared as best as she can. And it is incredibly disgusting and frustrating that [Jean-Luc] won't even acknowledge the situation,"  Alli Dore  said during the June 2021 reunion. "My heart breaks for Dani but she is so strong. I know that she can do this without him and will be better off."

Jenna and Adam's Tumultuous Relationship

Sparks were flying when the chief stew and the chef initially met during season 1 of the Bravo series. Throughout the season though, the duo found themselves not only at odds with one another but with their fellow crew members as well.

During the Below Deck Sailing Yacht reunion, Madison Stalker admitted that she felt "excluded" by her boss while she focused on her relationship and claimed Jenna made the second stew's life "a living hell" on board.

Madison and Jenna made up during the June 2020 virtual reunion episode after the chief stew issued an apology to her team. That same month, Jenna, who is no longer seeing Adam, said some of the concerns were blown out of proportion.

"There's definitely a misconception about how often we were engaged in PDA when other people were around that just people weren't around for it, and it wasn't excessive by any means," she told The Daily Dish at the time. "The second I felt happy and excited to find somebody that I really connected with, every force was coming at us to try and tear that down, and that was heartbreaking for me."

Gary's Love Triangle With Alli and Sydney

During the season 2 Below Deck Sailing Yacht reunion , Alli and Sydney called out Gary for not admitting that he had a girlfriend while trying to hook up with both of them at various times throughout filming.

Gary, for his part, explained that he was in "a very complicated relationship" at the time.

"I hadn't seen her for eight months prior to me coming on the show. Not seeing someone for eight months and growing apart in those months ... do we put a label on that? No," the bosun detailed during the June 2021 episode.

Since then, Sydney has been in a new relationship and Allie welcomed her first baby with boyfriend Benny Thompson in August 2021. 

The Overnight Storm

During season 3, Parsifal III encountered a sudden storm that caused the wind to pick up extremely quickly and things subsequently became dangerous for everyone on board. Deckhand Tom Pearson didn't realize what was happening while on anchor watch until the situation became very serious.

"The whole thing was such a nightmare," Captain Glenn told E! News in March 2022. "It's as serious as it gets. I mean, there are boats, similar boats, who have been in the same situation where they didn't recover."

The captain noted that the person meant to be keeping watch was "a massive disappointment," adding, "Everybody else pretty much — especially Gary and Colin — did an amazing exemplary job."

Tom, for his part, later said that the incident would stay with him forever as he learned to "grow from this experience" in the future.

"I completely 100% take responsibility for what happened That night, I have no excuses and I blame no one but myself. At the beginning I will admit I went into straight denial and didn’t want to think of the possibility that I could of caused a very serious situation," he wrote via Instagram that same month. "I know I said it at the time but I would like to apologise to the crew for putting you through that uncomfortable situation and to the guests we had onboard I really hope you know my apology is sincere and you deserved better from me that night. I was very distracted by things happening at home that was a very hard time for me but I know better than to let things take your eye off the ball during a night watch."

Gary and Ashley's Relationship

During season 3, the bosun went through major ups and downs with Ashley Marti after flirting with her on their first night on the boat. Viewers grew concerned when the stew briefly had sex with Gary when he was too drunk after a crew night out.

At the time, Gary thanked fans for "looking out" for him. “I didn’t think much of it then, and right now, I don’t think much of it too,” he said during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen in June 2022. “I just think that people on social media blew it up bigger than what it actually was.”

Gary also noted that he didn't consider the experience an "assault" because he showed interest in Ashley in the past. “Yeah I could see how they saw that, but in the first place, I did hook up with Ashley prior to that happening. I just wish I wasn’t that drunk,” he added. “I think it boils down to hooking up with Ashley was a mistake in the first place and it shouldn’t have happened from the get-go, really.”

The South Africa native continued: “No, I don’t [feel assaulted]. I don’t, and I appreciate everyone standing up for me, but I’ve got a voice of my own and I could use it if I felt I was assaulted.”

The Surprise Love Triangle

Colin MacRae, Daisy and Gary found themselves at odds while filming season 4 due to their overlapping feelings. As Daisy and Colin formed a connection, her secret hookup with Gary threatened her future with Colin and the trio's friendship. Daisy and Colin's romance ultimately fizzled out by the time they filmed the reunion, which aired in July 2023. 

Gary and Colin said during the Bravo special they weren't ruling out a reconciliation with each other but hinted that their respective relationships with Daisy were up in the air.

Sexual Misconduct Claims Against Gary

In August 2023, Below Deck production member Samantha Suarez accused Bravo of disregarding her complaints about Gary's alleged inappropriate behavior. She reported an incident in summer 2022 after Gary allegedly tried to force her to stay in his hotel room.Suarez said she was  surprised when Gary, who hasn’t commented on the claims,  wasn't fired by the network. 

Bravo and Below Deck’s production company, 51 Minds Entertainment, both issued statements addressing the investigations that took place after Suarez's complaint. 

“Bravo is committed to maintaining a safe and respectful workplace for cast and crew on our reality shows. We require our third-party production companies to have appropriate workplace policies and trainings in place and a clear process on how to report concerns. The concerns Ms. Suarez raised in July 2022 were investigated at that time and action was taken based on the findings,” the statement from the network read.

Captain Glenn teases Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 possible crash and crew trouble: 'Pretty hairy stuff'

"Absolutely dangerous," Shephard tells EW of the crew's missteps. "Quite serious. And I try to get the point across that cannot happen again."

Captain Glenn Shephard teases some "pretty hairy stuff" on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5, which includes a possible collision and crew shenanigans that turn "potentially dangerous."

The season 5 trailer shows Parsifal III coming too close for comfort with another sailing vessel in the dead of night. Cameras capture first officer Gary King scrambling as the crew rushes to prevent disaster: "That boat is getting close," he observes.

Captain Glenn explains to Entertainment Weekly how the sailing yacht encounters either a near miss or a collision due to some inclement weather.

"When the weather's bad and people expect it, they take precautions," Captain Glenn says. "It's thunderstorms, which are what catches people off guard." He recalls a recent storm that beached "a lot of boats." Adding that many boat crashes result from unexpected bad weather.

During season 3's weather-related near catastrophe, deckhand Tom Pearson was blamed for his slow response during late night anchor watch. He waited to wake up Captain Glenn and Gary until the sailing yacht was in peril. Thankfully the crew narrowly managed to avoid disaster and Tom was fired.

This time is different. "I was very impressed because the weather wasn't so great," he says of how his deck team reacts. "We have an issue with another boat. There's almost a collision. Maybe there's a collision, I'm not going to say."

While he was impressed with how the deck team reacts to the situation, he wasn't impressed with the crew's behavior this season. "You guys went out with the guests," Captain Glenn is heard telling the crew in the season 5 trailer. "I set some ground rules, two drinks maximum."

Whatever ground rules Captain Glenn set, the crew clearly breaks them. In one scene in the trailer the crew is seen drunkenly running around the boat, chief engineer Davide Morosi's face is cut and bleeding – all over the white banquet couch.

Furious as he wakes to the aftermath, Captain Glenn drags the crew from their bunks to face the consequences – which he says were very serious. "Absolutely dangerous, silly, dangerous, but also creating hard work that we don't have time for," he tells EW of the crew's behavior. "So yeah, quite serious. And I try to get the point across that cannot happen again."

Gary seems to have something to do with Davide's bleeding face as his name is heard being called in the trailer as Davide walks away laughing (and bleeding). Captain Glenn says while Gary has grown through the years, he's not there quite yet .

"I've seen a lot of progress, and I've seen Gary growing up," Captain Glenn says. "He's trying to move forward, but I also see him doing silly things, so he's not quite there yet. I definitely saw progress, but I guess you see a couple relapses and he's just up to silly stuff. I think he realizes though it's time for him to grow up."

Captain Glenn is also seen possibly firing someone this season too. "Somebody might be walking the plank," he teases.

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

Did the drama continue?

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

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

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

Captain Glenn Shephard

Originally from Montreal, Capt. Glenn is returning for his third season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, and with over 21 years in the industry, he definitely knows what he’s doing. Following his time filming the third season, Glenn Shephard took advantage of a few months off and traveled quite a bit. The 61-year-old found himself in Ghent and Bruges, Belgium, all while venturing through Paris, France. Although he remains single for the time being, Captain Glenn poked some fun at rumors claiming he was dating former crew member, Sydney Zaruba, however, the Below Deck star made things clear the two are simply “great friends.” Glenn later returned to Miami, Florida just in time for the season debut.

Daisy Kelliher - Chief Stew

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

Gary King - First Officer

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

Colin McRae - Chief Engineer

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

Marcos Spaziani - Chef

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

Gabriela Barragan - 2nd Stew

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

Ashley Marti - 3rd Stew

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

Kelsi Goglia - Deckhand

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

Tom Pearson - Deckhand

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

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5: Daisy Kelliher Teases Stew Drama

Below Deck Sailing Yacht is known for bringing top-tier drama. Last season had one of the most epic love triangles in history between Daisy Kelliher , Gary King , and Colin MacRae . And there’s always drama every season between Gary and the various Stews he hooks up with. However, in Season 5, it looks like the drama will be between the Stews themselves. And Daisy spilled the tea as to why.

Daisy Kelliher teases “power struggle” with the stew team in Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5

So far, the drama has mainly been between Daisy and Gary. The two have a “ will they or won’t they ” relationship. And there’s the fact that Gary refuses to do any tasks that Daisy asks of him. Still, the only other drama was a rough dinner service between Daisy and the chef. 

Daisy dished to Entertainment Tonight the real drama coming up is with her and her Stews. She was asked if a “stew mutiny” was afoot and why she didn’t click with her team. Daisy said, “I think it was mainly between me and one other girl. And maybe the other girl picked the wrong side.” And that girl was Danni Warren .

She added, “I think it was a power struggle. Honestly, I think she wanted my job, which is mind-blowing. I think she felt like I couldn’t do my job and she could do it better.”

Daisy then shared that she thought Danni strategized to get the team against her. She said, “I think there was triangulation going on. I think there was trying to get people on her side. I think I lost a bit of control over the situation because I don’t think I’ve ever really experienced that before.”

She concluded, “So I probably didn’t handle as well as I could have or should have. But it’s a learning experience, and next time I come up against another girl like her, I’m sure I’ll handle it better.” And in case you are wondering, Daisy gave a firm “no” to ever working with Danni again.

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