By Mairead Finlay 20 August 2021

Season 9 of the outstandingly successful Bravo franchise Below Deck is back with a bang, and set to premiere on October 25. And a brand new spectacular trailer following the latest antics of charters guests and crew onboard 56m (185ft) superyacht STARSHIP (aka MY SEANNA) in St Kitts and Nevis has just been released. This represents the third season which the impressive Delta Marina charter yacht has featured, appearing in season 6, 8 and 9.

Will this be the last season on Below Deck for superyacht STARSHIP (aka MY SEANNA)?

The exceptional motor yacht STARSHIP (aka MY SEANNA) is one of the most iconic yachts to appear on the franchise alongside motor yacht VALOR (aka BG) which has also been featured for three seasons (4,5 and 7). Boasting 6 cabins for 12 guests, she is the paradigm of ideal indoor/outdoor living. Her highlights including an outstanding beach club, sundeck sauna and gym, touch-and-go helipad plus an excellent selection of water toys.

But season 9 may mark this splendid vessel's last appearance, as superyacht STARSHIP was sold in July 2021.

Below Deck Season 9

The newly released trailer gives a teaser of what's to come in this nail-biting series. Tensions are evidently high as Captain Lee Rosbach (who has been at the helm of every yacht on Below Deck) is shown to be briefly replaced by another Captain as the crew boards their St. Kitts charter.

Eddie Lucas — who now has the title of First Officer — returns to the series, as does Chef Rachel Hargrove. However, the rest of the crew is completely new.

This season, Below Deck takes place in St Kitts and Nevis for the first time. Docking at the majestic Christophe Harbour known for its picture-perfect mountain backdrop, superyacht STARSHIP mainly cruised in Majors Bay, Ballast Bay and Whitehouse Bay during filming.

Below Deck Season 6: Where Are The Cast Members Now?

Bravo’s ‘Below Deck’ is a reality television show that focuses on the crew members who work on a private yacht as they cater to the needs and demands of high-end clients who embark on lavish and exclusive charter vacations. The crew members must also deal with their drama, which often spills over into their work lives. The sixth season of the show follows its cast into the yacht named My Seanna as it sails in the stunning waters of Tahiti. Since the premiere of the season in October 2018, fans have followed their favorite cast members closely and have been curious to know more about them since it wrapped up. We have got all the details for you, so let us begin!

Lee Rosbach is a Published Author Now

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Captain Lee Rosbach (@captain_lee_rosbach)

The captain of the ship was a veteran face in the sixth season of the show. He managed to run the boat successfully and was able to tackle the interpersonal problems that came his way. As a captain, he had to make some hard decisions but it did not deter Captain Lee from coming back to the show for a couple of more seasons. Owing to his health issues, he had to take a break during the filming of the tenth season and he revealed he will not be returning to the show.

Captain Lee is a published author of ‘Running Against the Tide: True Tales from the Stud of the Sea’, a book he co-wrote with Michael Shohl. He is enjoying his time with Laura Monteverdi, his wife, and lovingly calls her “my bride” in all of his Instagram posts. He has confirmed that he will be doing more work with Bravo but the details are still unknown.

Adrian Martin is Focusing on Family Now

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Adrian Martin (@chefadrianmartin)

The Chef on the cruise for Season 6 was Adrian Martin. He was well-liked by all other crew members because of his calm and composed demeanor and pleasant temperament. However, third stew Laura Betancourt, in one of her confessionals, mentioned Adrian passed some romantic advances and sexually charged remarks that made her feel uncomfortable. On the show, he apologized for his behavior when she confronted him about it. After appearing on ‘Below Deck’ for a single season, Adrian kept working as a chef in NYC and then moved to Saint Martin, where he grew up.

Following that, Adrian had been offering private dining experiences to his clients and had shared that he wanted to go on a tour all over the US. Interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, Adrian picked up on his plans after 2021 and even worked on a couple of yachts during this time. In 2022, Adrian and his partner, Grace, had a daughter whom they named Poppy Eloise. From what we can tell, he is now settled in Oregon with his lovely family.

Kate Chastain is a Proud Mother Now

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kate Chastain (@kate_chastain)

The fan-favorite, Kate, brought her usual flair and feistiness to the sixth season of the show as well. There were many people she head-butted with but that is what fans love to see. In August of 2023, she appeared on a show named “Couch Talk” with Captain Lee and they discussed the “biggest moments of the week”. She is a new and proud mother of baby boy Sullivan Cay and has over one million followers on Instagram. This successful influencer has found different ways to reach new heights in her career and there is no stopping for Kate anytime soon.

Josiah Carter is Living a Content Life Today

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Josiah Carter (@josiahcarter_)

The British steward brought his refined service skills and keen attention to detail to the yacht and formed a good relationship with Kate. He quickly became a fan favorite and won over many hearts with his funny but well-meaning comments. After he departed from the show, he expressed that he could come back to the franchise for one of the spin-offs but the plans did not materialize due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Josiah is currently the owner of an ethical clothing brand named House of XOXO and is also a famous Instagram influencer. He and his long-time partner adopted a puppy Spoodle in December 2020 and they named him River. In addition to the fulfilling moments in Josiah’s life, he got engaged to Michael Groves in February 2022 and the couple will be married very soon this year. It seems like Josiah is very content in his life right now, and the doors for coming back to the Bravo production are not closed for him.

Caroline Bedol is Leading a Private Life Now

View this post on Instagram A post shared by @socrazysocaroline

Caroline’s entry into the show was quite promising but it was not an easy ride for her as she sustained a lot of minor injuries and got into some heated arguments during the show. Even though Kate and Josiah celebrated her leaving the show, fans could not help but wonder what she has been up to. Caroline has kept a low profile since leaving the show and revealed that the time she spent on the show was quite traumatizing and she would like to recuperate for a while.

In a Reddit AMA, she did say that she can think about returning to the show. She said , “I would have another go at the third-stew position! Only because they would literally never attempt to eff with me again haha”. She has picked up her interest in horse riding again and espouses her political beliefs boldly. It looks like Caroline is gradually healing and is paving the way for great things ahead.

Laura Betancourt is a Yoga Instructor Now

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Laura Betancourt (@laurabetancourt)

Laura joined as a stew to replace Caroline in the middle of the charter season. Her strong personality clashed with Kate at the beginning of her arrival but the two were able to figure out a friendship along the way. Laura also had a brief romantic stint with Ashton while they were aboard.

Post leaving the show after just six episodes, Laura is now working as a yoga and fitness instructor with many certifications under her belt. She even hosts online practice sessions for her clients, which include celebrities. She is currently living in Hawaii and is making her followers envious with pictures of herself in beautiful and underexplored locations. From what we can tell, Laura is either single or she has decided to keep her love life under the radar. Whatever the case may be, she has great things written for her in the coming years and she seems to be thriving.

Chandler Brooks is Focusing on Personal Growth Now

The bosun of the yacht, Chandler, was not a favorite member of the crew. They felt he was not performing well at his job and had a bad attitude. He landed in a lot of trouble with Captain Lee because of not adhering to his orders and poorly treating his deckhands. Many fans agreed with Captain Lee for firing him but a lot of speculation has gone around related to his departure and his whereabouts after the show. Even though his co-star Caroline, in an AMA, said that Chandler was fired because he told the production team he wanted to resign and was overwhelmed with the job, there is no proof of the same.

Since his departure, Chandler has continued to rise the ranks in the yachting industry and is in a loving relationship with Jamie Jason, a cast member of ‘Below Deck Mediterranean’ season 3. Even though he is not present on social media, Jamie kept her profile public till a few years ago and it was evident that the couple were building a strong relationship while enjoying their respective careers and traveling. Chandler seems to have found some peace and stability in his life after the show, and better things are in store for him.

Ross Inia Keeps a Low-Profile Now

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ross Inia (@ross_inia)

Ross Inia joined the show as a deckhand but following Chandler’s untimely departure from the show, he was promoted to bosun. According to his crew mates, he was a better leader than Chandler, even though he was not the best. He gained a lot of love and liking from the fans of the show but Inia did not make a second appearance. In December 2018, following the season wrap-up, Inia was partying with a few friends in West Palm Beach, Florida, when he got into a fight and was reportedly arrested for disorderly intoxication and battery.

As per reports, Inia was charged with a couple of felonies but the charges were later dropped to misdemeanors when he entered a “not guilty” plea. According to Bravo, he said, “It was just me and a couple of mates having a night out. That’s pretty much all I can say. I can’t really elaborate on it. It was a big misunderstanding.” He has kept a low profile since then and frequently posts pictures with his son, Kai. On a personal front, he got engaged to his girlfriend, Rachel, in May 2021 and wants to spend more time in Florida to stay close to both his son and his fiance. Sadly, Inia’s father passed away in February 2022. Though he misses him every single day, Inia keeps his father’s memories alive in his heart.

Ashton Pienaar is Doing Community Work Now

View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Yo-Yo Diet Recovery Coach (@ashtonpienaar)

Ashton survived a near-death experience in the show when his leg got caught in a towline but he was fortunately saved by a cameraman. He returned to the show for the next season, but it soon became apparent that he had a drinking problem which led to him being fired. After he left the show, Ashton turned his life around and is currently the owner of a fitness company called A P Elite. In 2021, he declared that he had been sober for a year and is making strides in delivering on personal and familial relations. He is not only helping himself but also providing support to people to lead better and healthier lives and it seems like he is meant to do even greater things.

Rhylee Gerber is an Entrepreneur Now

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rhylee Gerber (@thelifeofrhylee)

Born and brought up in Alaska, Rhylee joined the ‘below Deck’ crew as a deckhand. She did not get along well with many people in the show but always ended up in heated arguments with Ashton. She came back to the show for a subsequent season but has not made an appearance since then.

After deciding to leave the show for good, Rhylee went back to Alaska and started fishing professionally. She frequently posted about the daily ins and outs of her life and after the pandemic was over, she moved into a van and started traveling across the country. She was accompanied by her dog, Dolce, whom she lost to an unbeatable tumor in July 2020. She is currently an entrepreneur and is seemingly involved in animal rescue. She is a very successful influencer and is shining brighter than ever.

Tyler Rowland is a Digital Creator Now

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tyler Rowland (@tyler.c.rowland)

With STCW and CPR certifications, Tyler made a good deckhand on ‘Below Deck’. Some sparks flew between him and Rhylee during the filming of the show but it did not lead to long-lasting relationships. After the show, he went back to working as a firefighter and has also become a digital creator. He has reclaimed his liking for adventure and frequently treks and travels to obscure destinations. He expresses interest in a lot of arenas like fitness, food, and activism. It is great to see Tyler being in his element and reclaiming his true self to achieve better.

My Seanna Yacht: Everything You Want To Know

The first thing you need to know about the luxury yacht called My Seanna, made famous on the show Below Deck, is that it’s no longer called My Seanna. Delta Marine built this yacht back in the year 2000 but it received a major update in 2021 when it was sold and the new owner decided to rename it Starship. The new name obviously hasn’t caught on yet and, since it’s famous from Below Deck, it likely will always be remembered as My Seanna.

Who Owns the My Seanna Yacht?

When it was still My Seanna, the yacht was owned by Apollo Yachts but in 2021 Sean Meagher sold it to Robert Stotler from Worth Avenue Yachts and, as Starship, it’s now available for charter.

How Much Did My Seanna Cost?

For the recent sale that took place in 2021, My Seanna was on the market for $21.9 million making it expensive but nowhere near the priciest yacht in the world. If you’re interested in taking it out for a chartered week of fun on the sea it’s actually more affordable than some other yacht charters of its size that were never made famous by a TV show. That doesn’t mean it’s cheap, of course, just cheaper. Summer or winter, the price is the same and you can enjoy a yacht charter of the Starship for $275,000 per week plus expenses.

How Big is the My Seanna Yacht?

Classified as a superyacht, My Seanna measures a full 56.4 meters in length, or about 185 feet. With a beam of 29.5 feet and a gross tonnage of 703, she’s definitely a good sized vessel. Is it the biggest yacht in the world? No, but it’s still pretty large.

It is currently run by a crew of 11 and it also has room for 12 guests.

How Fast is the My Seanna Yacht?

My Seanna was definitely a yacht built for cruising along on a reality show as opposed to tearing up the waves on the ocean. It boasts Twin 1,100hp Caterpillar diesel engines which provide a cruising speed of 13 knots. Max speed is listed as 15 knots, so it’s not out there to race, but offer a smooth and relaxing ride. The yacht has a range of 4,000 nautical miles at cruising speed. That’s thanks to the 72,580 liter fuel tanks.

What is the Interior of the Motor Yacht Starship Like?

As you can imagine, a yacht that made headlines specifically for being the setting of a reality show has to have a lot going on for it to make it attractive and desirable. The Starship has accommodation for up to 12 guests in six cabins. That includes a main deck owner’s suite and a VIP suite located on the bridge deck. The remaining 4 guest cabins are still very large and well appointed as well with queen-sized beds in two and king-sized in the other two.

The VIP suite features a king size bed and en-suite bathroom facilities. The master suite comes with a king size bed and also en-suite bathroom facilities located at the bow.

What do the 11 crew members do? Well, there’s obviously a captain and some crew to do the literal boat operations, but you can also find a mixologist, a personal trainer, a tea sommelier, and divemaster on board.

There is a main saloon on the bridge deck located on the upper aft deck. It features a massive 61-inch flatscreen television set and a large and expansive lounge area. There’s even a Gran Tour player piano. You can also fully black the windows and turn the space into a movie theater. The bridge deck boasts an outdoor cinema option as well, if you’d rather relax under the stars watching Jaws. If you’re in more of a party mood there’s also a dance floor for cutting loose.

In terms of those subtle touches you’ll find a lot of gold and cream tones throughout the yacht. Natural wood is complemented by gilding, glass chandeliers, marble accents and, of course, gold. It has a real “penthouse on the sea” vibe which is obviously very intentional.

Outdoor dining, al fresco dining spaces and a lot of open deck space is meant to encourage spending more time outside than in. This fits with the image fostered on Below Deck and the fact that My Seanna has spent most of her time at sea in tropical and exotic locations where passengers can enjoy beautiful weather at all times.

A popular feature among charter guests seems to be the sundeck Jacuzzi for obvious reasons. It’s surrounded by a cocktail bar to keep the party going. Below you’ll find a beach club with a shaded lounge space There’s also a sauna and a fairly well equipped gym space for working out. There’s also a galley available for simple snacks and drinks when you’re in the mood.

Because the the luxury motor yacht Starship is synonymous with fun and good times it’s no surprise to learn that it’s got more toys than you can shake a stick at, even compared to some larger yachts out there. We’re looking at some towable inflatables as well as other tow sports like water skiing and wakeboarding. There are sea kayaks, trampolines, fishing gear, and a beach party set up which includes a waterslide.

The yacht got a retrofit to go along with its 2021 sale and that means the toy box got one too. The new Starship includes four jet skis, four sea bobs, dive gear including a dive master and a 12-meter Intrepid tender outfitted for fishing and diving. Plus there’s a helipad!

Was There An Accident on This Luxury Charter Yacht?

Because My Seanna was on a reality show, people have seen a lot more of yacht life on this vessel in specific than many others. One thing that made headlines was a serious incident that could have turned out much worse.

In 2018, as the yacht was leaving dock somewhere, a deckhand got tangled in one of the lines just after the engines started. As the boat started moving, the man was yanked by his ankle into the water behind the boat.

The man ended up being fine, but it was very close to a potentially deadly accident. In fact, it’s been speculated that the unique design of the My Seanna is the only reason the man didn’t suffer serious injuries. The boat was designed to be 150 feet long. However, at some point, the owners decided on an extra 30 feet so the design had to be adapted. The result is that the props are more recessed than they would have been if the boat was designed as a 180 foot vessel from the start.

If the props were where they should have been, the man very likely would have been caught in them and perhaps been badly wounded or even died. And had there not been a quick-thinking cameraman close by the remove the ropes, the man might have drowned as well.

My grandfather first took me fishing when I was too young to actually hold up a rod on my own. As an avid camper, hiker, and nature enthusiast I'm always looking for a new adventure.
