Captain Glenn Shepherd on the Parsifal III on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4

Captain Glenn and the crew of the Parsifal III are back for another season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht . This time the yacht is setting sail in lovely Sardinia, Italy, and even though it's a beautiful location, don't expect calm seas. This season, anything can happen. 

As the original Below Deck franchise wraps up its tenth season, Below Deck Sailing Yacht cruises into season 4 with the promise of picturesque landscapes and thrilling adventures, but the trailer hints at some trouble on board, and not just with the crew. Although, it looks like the Parsifal III has some challenges this season that puts Captain Glenn and the crew through their paces. 

Here's everything we know about Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4. 

Next episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 

Part two of the Below Deck Sailing Yacht season four reunion   airs Tuesday, July 18, at 8 pm ET/PT on Bravo. Catch the uncensored and extended Below Deck Sailing Yacht reunion part two next day on Peacock.

Daisy is frustrated after learning she’s a stew down while the deck team goofed off on the eFoils. Chef Ileisha’s perfectionism is thrown off when she faces her greatest fear in the galley and enlists Colin’s help. Gary claims his territory as First Mate both with the ladies and on deck as he sets his eyes on Mads knowing his deckhands are interested in the same girl."

The crew celebrates their final night out and Daisy and Colin try to soak up every moment of it. Following tearless goodbyes, Capt. Glenn and Gary stay onboard Parsifal to pick up another charter season."

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 cast

Captain Glenn Shepherd returns to helm the Parsifal III. This is his fourth season on the series, but he's no stranger to the ship. He's been helming the Parsifal III for over a decade. 

Captain Glenn will be joined once again by Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher, first mate Gary King and engineer Colin MacRae. 

New to the series are chef Ileisha Dell, stews Lucy Edmunds and Mads Herrera and deckhands Chase Lemacks and Alex Propson. 

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 plot

Bravo offered this synopsis of Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 and it gives you a good sense of what's coming in the new season: 

"Capt. Glenn and his comeback team Daisy Kelliher, Gary King and Colin MacRae resume their responsibilities aboard Parsifal III, along with new, dynamic crew members, as they set sail in Sardinia, Italy. Capt. Glenn realizes that his laid-back leadership style has allowed his crew to become too comfortable and starts taking charge of quality control in the interior department, much to Daisy's dismay. 

"In the galley, Chef Ileisha’s cooking impresses the guests, but her indecisiveness and co-dependency lead to time-management issues between courses, which causes her to self-destruct. On deck, strong personalities collide, and a power struggle results in a near mutiny, as Gary clashes with his new overconfident deckhand, Chase. 

"Two overlapping love triangles further complicate the dynamics on-board, and a shocking hookup puts Colin, Daisy and Gary’s friendship in jeopardy. With a near collision, fire, crew rebellion, gruesome guest injury and two different potentially season-ending engine failures, this is the most captivating and unpredictable season yet of Below Deck Sailing Yacht ."

Who is the crew for Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5?

Captain Glenn Shephard  is back aboard  Parsifal III with returning department heads Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher and First Mate  Gary King . New crew members include Chef Cloyce Martin , Chief Engineer Davide Morosi , stews Diana Cruz and Danni Warren , and deckhands Keith Allen and Emma Crouch .

Where does Season 5 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht take place?

Captain Glenn and his expert crew are setting sail in Ibiza for Season 5. A press release describes the locale as "the luxury party capital of the world" known for "sunny day parties and a crystal-clear coast."

What can fans expect on Season 5 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht ?

The crew aboard Parsifal III will have to "navigate" everything from "competitive co-workers" to "tense personal dynamics, all while trying to raise the bar every charter," according to a press release.

What's more, this season "Daisy is ready to take the reins back in the interior department with a new sense of energy and determination," the release continues. "However, plans for a stress-free charter season are threatened when her stews question her leadership."

"On deck, Gary attempts to keep his team motivated as one crew member struggles to learn the ropes. In the galley, Chef Cloyce charms the crew and guests but at only 22, he may be too inexperienced to meet the demands of the high-maintenance charter guests," the press release concludes.

But now I'm coming back in, more focused, full of energy. I'm f-cking good at my job and I'm taking back the reins."

Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans sound off on Gary King’s return

Gary King on Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5

Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans have sounded off on Gary King’s return for Season 5.

The trailer for the new season revealed Captain Glenn Shephard, Daisy Kelliher, and Gary are back.

Last summer, Gary was accused of sexual misconduct by a production team member after he had already filmed Season 5.

Many believe the scandal was the reason for Below Deck Sailing Yacht being pushed back from spring to fall.

Now that Gary’s still on the show, fans have taken to the comments section of the official Below Deck Instagram page to speak their minds.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans sound off on Gary King’s return

There were so many remarks slamming the fact that Gary was still on the show after all the allegations against him.

“I guess Bravo isn’t worried about Gary’s alleged s3x assault claims by the one behind the scenes crew member ….,” read a remark.

Another also called out Bravo, writing, “How is Gary back?! Bravo, do better!”

A different one was shocked Gary returned, while a separate comment wished to see Daisy without Gary on the show.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans sound off

Several more comments reiterated the unhappiness that Gary returns, with mentions of his bad behavior and assault allegations.

“I wish Colin was back notGary!!!” wrote a critic.

More Below Deck Sailing Yacht remarks

Others declared they wouldn’t be watching with Gary on-screen, and more were confused about how he could be back considering the scandal.

“So Daisy and Gary will get fired after 2 episodes and then it will be less of a s**t show season?” read a comment with another saying.

There was even a remark that insisted the user will watch other Below Deck shows and the next season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht as long as Gary isn’t on.

Gary slammed for BDs return

More Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans weigh in on Gary King appearing on Season 5

It wasn’t all bad or negative in the comments section of the IG post.

Some Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans are excited to have the hit show back after such a long hiatus. Plus, the trailer does look extremely entertaining, crazy, and drama-filled.

One fan can’t wait to see Daisy go off on Gary, which went down in the trailer.

BDS fans are excited for Season 5

The haters certainly came for Gary, but he did have those who stood up for him, even calling him a favorite.

Another stated that he makes the show and suggested that Gary may have been cleared of all charges.

Gary gets support from BDS fans

As Monsters and Critics previously reported, Gary gave an update stating he was cleared and reiterating his innocence.

I think Gary and anyone else deserves a second chance. The Bible says forgive 7×70. Forgiveness is what it’s all about.

I do wish Colin was coming back, just not going to be the same.

Motoryacht mercury (previously known as malibu and kermit).

below deck sailing yacht season 1 channel 4

In the fourth spin off of Below Deck, the now infamous decided to spice things up a little. Instead of the usual Mediterranean or Caribbean routine, Below Deck went to the less explored (but extremely breathtaking) Norway.

For this new serie filled with adventure, Below Deck picked the motoryacht Mercury, ex Malibu and Kermit, to explore the Fjords Norway is famous for.

Mercury is a 50m motoryacht built by the dutch shipyard Amels, and designed by Terence Disdale.

She can accomodate up to 12 guests and 12 crew onboard. No doubt, that should be enough for this new exciting season.

Mercury is available for charter from $170,000 a week . Her current selling price is $13,500,000 .

Northern Sun: the yacht in Below Deck Down Under Season 2

northern sun below deck down under season 2

Below Deck Down Under season 2 explored the coasts around Cairns, the gateway to access the great barrier reef and the Whitsunday Islands.

And it’s hard to imagine a better yacht than the Northern Sun motoryacht to explore this iconic area. The Northern Sun is a 50.8m (now yacht) that used to be a vessel dedicated for ice exploration. The refit work took two years but was clearly worth it when we look at the result displayed in this second season of the Australian Spin off.

Although the Northern Sun is built by the Japanese Narasaki shipyard, it surely is a boat that fits Australian waters quite well and could delight anyone looking to explore the most rugged locations in style, whether they are polar or tropical.

Northern Sun is available for charter from $161,700 / week . Her latest asking price was $15,000,000 .

Dufour 41 review: unashamedly aimed at coastal cruising

David Harding

  • David Harding
  • September 26, 2024

This new addition to the range, the Dufour 41 seems to promise everything the modern cruising family might want. David Harding sees how she measures up

below deck sailing yacht season 1 channel 4

Product Overview

Price as reviewed:.

There have always been yachts that claim to offer the best of all worlds. They lure you in with the promise of being able to luxuriate in spacious opulence after a day of exhilarating sailing. The message is that there’s no need to compromise. Of course we know that’s not really the case. Any boat is a compromise. It’s just a matter of which elements are compromised more than others. So what sort of compromises have been taken with the Dufour 41?

Time was when we had the cruiser-racers: race with the lads, cruise with the family (no doubt considered a politically-incorrect message these days). By and large, race boats are now race boats that make no pretence at being anything else.

Cruisers, on the other hand, have become more performance-conscious in recent years, reflecting the reality that more speed allows you to sail further in less time. In many cases, today’s new cruising yachts are also faster by virtue of being longer than their predecessors.

Over the years, the elements of compromise in mainstream production cruisers have meant that buyers have, at different times, missed out on something significant. When hulls became beamy and the keels and rudders were shallow, handling and performance were – well, let’s just say, a little below par sometimes. Then when sterns became seriously broad and entries stayed narrow, boats were unbalanced when heeled and the rudders lost grip. Enter twin rudders to help overcome that one.

Too much heel. The Dufour sails best if kept relatively flat. Photo: David Harding

Now we have full bow sections to offset the broad sterns. This is still a relatively new development, and one that has been mentioned in the context of most new cruising yachts you will have read about in YM for some time. It’s definitely the ‘new normal’.

As a previously introduced ‘new normal’ it doesn’t need to be re-introduced here, save that these boats tend to stay more balanced when heeled, even with single rudders. What it also means in the context of a 40-footer with a high volume hull is that it makes for an even higher volume 40-footer.

Unlike the Dufour 37 that I tested earlier this year, the Dufour 41 is more or less the length her name suggests. Her hull is 39ft (11.9m) long and her ‘box’ length, including the moulded bowsprit, is just over 41ft (12.75m). The 37, on the other hand, has a hull 32ft 9in (9.98m) long, but she’s so cavernous below decks that Dufour thought it wouldn’t do her justice to call her a 33.

Dufour 37 review: Cruiser with all the latest trends

The latest offering by Dufour, the Dufour 37 offers a hull shape that points to the direction of travel in…

Dufour 44 first look: Space for sailing, sunbathing and socialising

Yacht design never seems to stand still, including with the new Dufour 44. Although Dufour’s last 40-something footer, the 430,…

Onwards and upwards

Being more than 6ft (nearly 2m) longer than the 37, the Dufour 41 does feel vast – not that the 37 is exactly small. Big sister is high, wide – at both ends as well as in the middle – and handsome, if you like the styling. Dufour claims that she’s the only boat of her size to offer the option of a four-cabin layout (two in the stern, two in the bow) with full-size forward cabins. That’s only achievable because of the full bow.

To climb aboard and experience the extraordinary space both below decks and above, it’s easiest to use the hinge-down platform at the stern. From here, steps lead up to the relatively high cockpit and there’s plenty of space to move forward between the twin wheels. Scaling the topsides would be more of a challenge, given that freeboard is nearly 5ft (actually 1.42m) by the boarding gates.

If you want all this volume, it has to come from somewhere.

My questions with the modern style of broad-at-both-ends cruisers haven’t been so much about how the space is used. I have wanted to know how they behave upwind in a seaway. As I found with the 37, a full bow to balance the wide stern really does seem to make the boat more inclined to sail in a straight line when the breeze picks up.

On my test, that was very much in evidence when she was pressed on a reach in a way that you would expect to induce a broach on many boats, or at least to make them seriously hard-nosed. Downwind too, those buoyant forward sections should be an asset.

The 37 impressed me with the way she made into moderately fresh conditions and a modest wind-over-tide Solent chop. This time, on the Dufour 41, we had more wind (from the opposite direction) and more tide too (against the wind). With the breeze gusting into the high ‘teens and nudging over 20 knots, we tucked a slab in the fully-battened main, which was a laminate upgrade from the standard Dacron.

Forward of the mast, instead of the self-tacker, our test boat was fitted with the optional 108% headsail. This calls for the ‘Ocean Pack’ of extra hardware that includes the tracks and the self-tailing Lewmar 45s on the coamings. It also adds nice-to-haves such as the German mainsheet system.

Thoroughly competent

Thus rigged, we set out to enjoy a bright and brisk sail. The Dufour quickly got into a comfortable stride and proved that, like her smaller sister, she’s a thoroughly competent performer. Upwind speeds approaching 7 knots appeared in the flatter patches of water, quickly climbing to over 8 when we bore away and cracked the sheets a few inches. An overlapping headsail retains so much more drive than a self-tacker on a fetch or a reach.

Again, like the 37, the bigger Dufour was crisp and responsive to sail, with a direct feel from the single rudder linked via the Jefa steering system to the twin composite wheels. Basic sail control was easy, with main and headsail sheets led to coaming winches within reach of the wheels.

A feature on modern Dufours is the mainsheet bridle. A traveller would be best from a sail trim perspective, but is rarely found on modern production cruisers. In this instance, neither a traveller nor strong-points on deck would work anyway, because the longer (more spacious) cockpits and longer (more easily negotiated) companionways on new models have pushed the mainsheet forward.

It would lose purchase if moved too far along the boom, so the bridle was introduced because it spans the forward end of the companionway without affecting the sprayhood. I suspect most buyers would willingly sacrifice the extra sail control for the space gained by this arrangement.

below deck sailing yacht season 1 channel 4

The mainsheet bridle is a practical solution given the length of the companionway. Photo: David Harding

Looking trim

It’s no criticism of the boat – given what she’s designed for – to say that fine degrees of sail trim aren’t possible. To reduce the excessive twist in the main we cranked down the kicker, and then eased the boom further off the centreline to help keep the boat on her feet.

The Dufour 41 definitely prefers to be sailed fairly flat. This de-twisting is less effective than vang-sheeting in a dinghy or using the traveller in a keelboat, but it helped. We needed to do this both for efficiency and because, in the gusts, the boat would round up if we intentionally refrained from de-powering. When provoked, she would respond with a proper ‘French broach’, passing through the wind and sitting with the headsail aback.

It’s always good to see how a boat behaves when hove to anyway. In this case she sat happily, crabbing at perhaps 1.5 knots, and could readily be gybed round to carry on sailing without needing the mainsheet eased first. It was all very controlled.

There is no shortage of light or ventilation in the saloon, and good use has been made of the space for sensible stowage. Photo: David Harding

We were pushing the boat harder than most owners would choose to. That’s what the second reef is for. It’s just that some of us are used to choosing our sailplan to ensure we’re not under-powered in the lulls. We de-power in the gusts instead.

On a test it’s useful to find where the limits lie, as well as to spend a little time sailing more gently to experience the other perspective.

One other thing we did experience – unrelated to how hard we were pushing at the time – was the occasional thud when we fell off one of the Solent’s famously short, steep waves. That’s by no means unusual. Every boat, no matter what its shape, will like some sea states more than others.

below deck sailing yacht season 1 channel 4

A long hatch and a gentle gradient to the companionway steps allow straightforward access to and from the cockpit. Photo: David Harding

What is beyond question is that the shape of the bow made for a notably dry ride. While filming and photographing from the RIB – which, I was told, was airborne much of the time with only the prop remaining in the water – I saw the spray from the bow being thrown straight out at us rather than back over the deck. Only one dollop of water landed in the cockpit during our sail, and as I was helming at the time I have to accept responsibility for that.

As a rule, boats with the most comfortable motion are those that go through the waves rather than over them, so there’s less bouncing and banging but you get wet instead. You pays your money…

The occasional dollop of water notwithstanding, the cockpit is a comfortable place to be. Sitting outboard at the helm, you have more room than on the 37. Forward of the wheels is a big central table, which provides a leg bracing point and, importantly, a good amount of readily accessible stowage for small items.

Equally importantly, the table is strong enough to stand on when you’re stowing the mainsail. Combined with a gooseneck that’s low enough to let you reach the head of the sail when standing at the mast, it makes for much easier sail stowage than on some boats of this size.

below deck sailing yacht season 1 channel 4

A comfortable island berth dominates the massive forward cabin, which has large hullside ports and discreet lighting just above bunk level. Photo: David Harding

I have noted before that hoisting, reefing and handling a conventional mainsail under way isn’t necessarily a challenge; it’s having to stow it afterwards. If owning a boat with a sail that’s relatively easy to stow saves you having to contemplate the cost, complexity and compromise of in-mast reefing, it’s a big plus.

When you need to use alternative means of propulsion, you have a choice of a 50hp (standard) or 60hp (optional) Volvo diesel. They drive a two-bladed fixed prop unless you prefer to save drag and have a folding one. Our test boat had the 60hp upgrade and the fixed prop, giving us a comfortable 6-plus knots at 1,800rpm and 7.5 knots at 2,200rpm.

Alternatively you can choose Dufour’s Smart Electric drive, with a 16kW generator driving a 25kW electric motor. Whether or not you add the bank of lithium-ion batteries, the generator-electric system is said to be more efficient than a conventional diesel and your range isn’t determined by battery capacity alone.

Twin double aft cabins are symmetrical, with enough space beneath the cockpit to sit up in the bunks and read or enjoy the view of the outside world. Photo: David Harding

Moving forwards

When you leave the cockpit and head towards that broad bow, you find yourself on comfortably wide side decks with a moulded upstand along the gunwale providing a foot brace if you’re on the leeward side.

Everything looks functional on deck. Features include a fixed deck light running across the coachroof abaft the mast. Windows in the forward end of the coachroof add to the already plentiful light in the forecabin (with a view out, if you’re tall enough). Working on the foredeck is easy because it’s so big. It’s more likely to be used as a sunpad.

Space and comfort is also the theme below decks. Those of us familiar with older designs will one day stop remarking on the extraordinary volume of today’s cruisers. Until then we will no doubt keep mentioning it. It’s light and airy down below, with a combination of pale woodwork and light panelling. The finish is generally tidy for a production boat and it’s more woody than some.

below deck sailing yacht season 1 channel 4

The linear galley features a large peninsular fridge with front and top access, and lots of natural light from long hullside ports. Photo: David Harding

Access to the systems seems good. You even have removable headlining panels. Twin double cabins in the stern are part of every layout. You have a range of options further forward according to how many heads, showers and cabins you want. A linear galley runs along the starboard side. The compartment to port, opposite the heads, is a dedicated shower as standard or can be used for stowage, an extra heads or more galley space.

Of particular note is the ability to walk from one end of the accommodation to the other on a level sole. And headroom throughout is such that, unless you’re well over 6ft tall, you don’t need to duck even through doorways. Because of the long companionway and gentle gradient to the steps, you can simply walk up and down them. Moving around is exceptionally easy.

For the big production builders, it’s essential to know what buyers want. There’s a lot of new money coming in, from people with little or no sailing experience, so you’re never going to sell enough boats if you build for the purist. That’s not to say that boats like the Dufour 41 won’t appeal to experienced sailors as well. Undoubtedly they will, and those with experience will understand what they’re designed for. While she’s capable of crossing oceans, the Dufour is unashamedly optimised for coastal cruising and Channel hopping (or the equivalent). There’s nothing to say that 40-footers have to sail a long way. People want bigger, more comfortable boats these days, and size is often unrelated to cruising ambitions. Whatever you buy her for, the Dufour certainly sails very nicely in the sort of conditions in which most people will want to be out. She’s respectably fast, responsive and easy to manage. Attention to detail is good and there’s an almost unbelievable amount of room everywhere.
