Below Deck Med charter guests share Season 9 experience, reveal favorite crew members

Below Deck Med Season 9 had plenty of charter guests that brought the good, the bad, and the ugly to the show.

The season came to a close this week and some of those guests are speaking out about their experience on the Mustique yacht.

No topic was off limits either, especially Chef Johnathan “Jono” Shillingford’s food, which we all know was hit or miss all season.

Below Deck Med charter guest Mahisha gave him props despite the controversy we saw play out on-screen.

Chief Stew Aesha Scott and Captain Sandy Yawn were also brought up with guest Gigi Fernández gushing over her captain friend.

Below Deck Med charter guests reveal favorite Season 9 crew members

The Daily Dish spoke with several charter guests who named Aesha as their favorite crew member.

“Aesha by far. She made the biggest impact,” expressed Pamela from the third charter.

Evan from the same charter echoed Aesha while also dropping a fun fact.

“I think that Aesha is a fantastic rapper,” he stated.

Charter one guests Joel and Jacob, though, had a different answer for their favorite yachtie. Their charter was filled with provision mishaps but they declared Nathan Gallagher and Joe Bradley made their trip.

“They went above and beyond for us,” the guys shared referring to the deckhands going to buy Rose for them from another superyacht amid the provision crisis.

Coleen named Captain Sandy as her favorite crew member as she gushed over being on a yacht with a female captain.

“I will never forget it. It is a birthday trip of all birthday trips,” Colleen spilled.

What did Below Deck Med charter guests say about Chef Johnathan ‘Jono’ Shillingford?

Jono got some praise and criticism from the guests all season long. The final Season 9 guests Brad and Stacey, said they had “great dinners” during their charter.

Meanwhile, Joel and Jacob also gave a shout-out to the chef declaring, “The food was the best part about the trip.”

Gigi stands her ground when it comes to Jono and not being impressed with his good. The professional tennis player complained frequently to Captain Sandy, nearly costing Jono his job.

“He said he was self-taught. That just threw up a red flag for me. You can’t expect to be a chef at this level and not get some kind of training,” Gigi insisted.

Remember the anniversary cookie debacle involving Janie and Steve, who asked for soufflés for their special occasion dessert? Well, they, too, were not happy with Jono’s food at all.

“I hate to say it Jono, I love you, but honey, I could’ve been in your galley cooking your food, sorry,” Janie told The Daily Dish.

Those are just a few of the things the Below Deck Med Season 9 charter guests are saying about their experience on the show. To read all of their comments, click here.

Below Deck Med is currently on hiatus on Bravo. Seasons 1-9 are streaming on Peacock.

Yes, You Can Really Charter Below Deck Med ’s New Superyacht, Home

Renting or buying Season 7’s new vessel won’t come cheap though.

When Captain Sandy Yawn and her all-new crew set sail on Below Deck Mediterranean Season 7, they’ll be in uncharted territory aboard a new superyacht, Home . While cruising the pristine waters of Malta, Captain Sandy was working for the first time on the 163-foot motor yacht, which Bravo described as a “complex hybrid vessel” that the Below Deck Med vet found to be “more unpredictable to navigate.” As the show’s Season 7 trailer previewed, Home won’t make it through the charters entirely unscathed either: In one clip, Captain Sandy laments that she hit something for the first time in her career, while another scene teases a potential “crashing” incident.

Rest assured that there weren’t any serious accidents because Home is currently available for charter in the Caribbean region at a cost ranging from $245,000 to $273,000 per week , depending on the season. Meanwhile, Home — the first diesel-electric motor yacht to appear on Below Deck — is also listed for sale with an asking price of just over $30.8 million. Per the listings, the superyacht, which Dutch shipyard Heesen built in 2017, sleeps up to 12 guests in six cabins and features contemporary, “Ibiza-style” decor. Among Home ’s many amenities are a large sun deck, jacuzzi, swim platform, air-conditioned gym, and sky lounge.

Home also sleeps up to 10 crew members. In Below Deck Med Season 7 , that includes Captain Sandy, returning Season 6 deckhand Mzi “Zee” Dempers, and newcomers: chief stew Natasha Webb, chef Dave White, bosun Raygan Tyler, stews Natalya Scudder and Kyle Viljoen, and deckhands Storm Smith and Jason Gaskell. Following her involvement in Hannah Ferrier’s mid-Season 5 firing, Malia White cited a scooter accident and pending exams — not fan backlash — as her reasons for not returning for Season 7. (“It’s not that I might never come back to the show,” Malia told Showbiz Cheat Sheet in May. “I’m just not on the next season.”)

Season 7’s “new boat with new department heads” might bring Captain Sandy some challenges during her “first time ever in Malta,” but she’s naturally ready to face them all head-on. The network also told viewers to expect “outrageous costumes, wild nights out, and some major inter-departmental drama,” which “doesn’t even cover what the charter guests are going to bring in the new season.”

As always, expect plenty of romance at sea, too. As Bravo’s first look teased, “boatmances” will be a major topic of conversation this season, including flirtations between Natalya and Storm, as well as several questions about the true nature of Natasha and Dave’s relationship. There could even be a fling between a crew member and a charter guest, too. Though Bravo is premiering the series on July 11, Peacock subscribers can access new Below Deck Med Season 7 episodes a week early beginning July 4.

Fans can also experience Home for themselves off-screen — but it will cost way more than their monthly cable bills.

The Untold Truth Of Below Deck Mediterranean

Below Deck Mediterranean hit our screens in 2016, and follows the lives of a yacht crew and the charter guests they have to entertain. Much like its parent Bravo series  Below Deck , Below Deck Med takes viewers on enviable journeys to idyllic locations, serving up some hefty drama along the way. Basically, the spin-off continues to prove that it's every bit as addictive as the original, and not only because we'd all love to charter a yacht that comes fully staffed with a ridiculously good-looking crew.

While chief stew Hannah Ferrier is the only crew member to appear in all four seasons, as of this writing, Captain Sandy Yawn has become indispensable since joining the show in its second season. And with recurring crew members like Colin Macy-O'Toole and Ben Robinson, fans of the series continue to tune in to find out who's fighting, who's falling in love, or who is failing at their job, each week. From terrible crew members, to relationship mishaps, to unexpected career paths, to seriously fussy guests, join us as we explore what goes on behind-the-scenes of Below Deck Mediterranean . 

The boats on Below Deck Mediterranean are seriously crowded

If you've ever thought that the Below Deck  Mediterranean  yacht looked a little cramped at times, that's because it was. According to chief stew Hannah Ferrier, the boats featured on the show — the Sirroco, for example, which measures an impressive 154 feet — simply wasn't designed to hold all of the people that make the TV show happen. She told Forbes , "The difference with having a film crew is that there are fingerprints everywhere. There are 30 or 40 extra people stepping on an off every day." Basically, all of the extra bodies make a ton of extra work for the stews. Former deckhand Bobby Giancola agreed with Ferrier's assessment and told Forbes , " Yes, there are six or seven camera guys, the microphone guys, the control room, a lot of the producers are there."

Fans of the show will have noticed the camera operators breaking the fourth wall occasionally, when a staff member or guest is in trouble, for instance. But according to Ferrier, there have been plenty of times when members of the crew can't help but come into contact with production staff. As she told Forbes , "You find yourself almost hoping you don't have a sexual harassment claim from a camera guy. You're like, my butt is too big to squeeze by without touching him." Sounds as though there's a lot of action behind-the-scenes, which viewers don't get to see.

Below Deck Mediterranean doubles as a fitness program for Hannah Ferrier

If you thought the boat's crew looks seriously busy whenever charter guests were on board, that's because they are. Speaking with Decider , chief stew Hannah Ferrier revealed that while the show is filming, she's often so busy that she forgets to eat . Ferrier explained, "People didn't realize that I never eat until I ate and then they're like, oh, wait a sec, we never see her eat. Season 1 I lost 18 lbs, Season 2 was 12 lbs, Season 3 was about 16 lbs, and this last season I lost about 8 or 9 lbs, but nothing crazy. I lose a lot of weight when I'm filming." As well as constantly trekking all over the huge yacht to ensure that guests have everything they need, literally forgetting to eat had a huge impact on the chief stew's wellbeing.

Ferrier also revealed that when Below Deck Mediterranean first started filming, she "felt really uncomfortable eating on camera," which is more than a little understandable, especially as almost every aspect of her life was being broadcast on television. There is a plus side to running around so much and forgetting to eat though. Per Ferrier, "People are like, 'How do you stay fit on the boat?' I'm like, have you watched the f***ing show? Are we watching the same thing? Because all I do all day is run up and down stairs. Like, all day. So yeah, I work out enough."

Chef Mila's controversial views rocked the boat on Below Deck Mediterranean

Season 4 of Below Deck Mediterranean served up some not-so gourmet drama when Mila Kolomeitseva, a supposedly Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef , didn't exactly deliver on her resume. When Kolomeitseva began to send out less than perfect food, and was even caught licking a steak on camera, some viewers were suspicious that she was a plant to boost ratings. And when she started to express her seemingly homophobic views on television, cast, crew, and viewers were all horrified. However, bosun João Franco insisted on Twitter , "It's not for ratings. The process we go through is a long one. These are real events that happen and you never know what people are like until they're already there. We were all as shocked as you after watching this episode." 

Ferrier also replied to a fan who suggested that the chef was a plant. She tweeted , "Not sure where you are getting your info from but it's not correct. There really isn't any way to know if someone is going to be homophobic in a normal job interview and her CV looked great. She's OBVIOUSLY not great but it wasn't set up like that." Bravo 's senior vice president of current production confirmed the cast and crew's shock regarding the chef and told The Washington Post , "If you had seen the control room on the [production] boat when those nachos came out, you would see that [what happened] is equally surprising to us."

Did Anastasia Surmava quit yachting after Below Deck Mediterranean?

One of the stars of Below Deck Mediterranean 's fourth season was Anastasia Surmava, who started out as third stew but stepped into the role of chef when Mila Kolomeitseva was fired. And despite doing a great job in the galley, Surmava appears to have left yachting behind altogether since the show stopped filming. Speaking with Decider , Surmava revealed that she's opened an eco café in Sri Lanka with its own yoga studio. The former third stew explained, "It's called Ajna which means the third eye chakra. I met my business partner back in July and he was like, when you're done with your boat stuff can you move to Sri Lanka, and we built it from the ground up." 

And for anyone worried that Surmava has given up on her culinary dreams, Surmava told Decider , "I'm the executive chef and creative director of this company." Basically, she's putting her multitude of skills to great use in her new business. And if you're thinking of visiting Sri Lanka anytime soon, Surmava seems excited about her business's future plans. "We got great reviews, people loved it, and I'm going back in September to finish building everything and then train my staff on the rest of my menu and staff it with yoga teachers and rock it," she told the outlet. She's on dry land now, but she's still in the high-end vacation business.

Chef Ben has other fish to fry

Chef Ben Robinson has appeared on both Below Deck and Below Deck  Mediterranean , most recently saving the day on the latter show after third stew Anastasia Surmava stepped down having covered the stressful position. But in an interview with People , Robinson revealed that during his break from the show he's started a business on land, and is now hoping to settle down and start a family. He explained, "I've reached that age where I'm really trying to settle down now in terms of grounding myself with a land-based business. And in turn, I want to find a viable partner who I can maybe marry and have a kid and everything." However, anyone hoping he was still dating Below Deck alum Emily Warburton-Adams will sadly be disappointed.

Robinson told People of his relationship with the former stew, "We're friends. Our romance ended, and on good terms. Emily is a London girl and very close to her mother. I lived in London for quite a few years and that was a chapter that I was quite happy to close in my life." Although couple's fledgling relationship came to an end, by the sound of it, Robinson might finally be ready to start his own family and leave Below Deck behind for good.

What happened to Below Deck Mediterranean's original captain?

It might be impossible to imagine Below Deck  Mediterranean  without Captain Sandy Yawn, but avid fans will remember that the spin-off's first season had a very different lead in the form of Captain Mark Howard. The stoic and traditional captain was the opposite of Captain Sandy in many ways — most notably, in his totally different, and much more formal relationship with the crew. However, chief stew Hannah Ferrier still has fond memories of her former captain. In August 2019, Ferrier shared a much-needed update on Howard to the Daily Dish . She said, "Captain Mark and I, we send a message maybe once a year, just to touch base." She continued, "I really like him," which as fans of the show will know is seriously high praise from the sometimes thorny chief stew. 

But as for what became of Howard after he helped launch the inaugural season of the popular sister series, Ferrier is as in the dark as the rest of us. She joked to the Daily Dish , "I don't really think I knew what he was up to when I was working with him, let alone three years later." Below Deck 's beloved Captain Lee also  tweeted his support for Howard when he wrote, "Capt Mark is an outstanding mariner with out a doubt." But it appears that Season 1's captain has left the world of reality TV behind him, as of this writing, at least.

Travis Michalzik hates reality TV

Season 4's Travis Michalzik caused quite a stir with his onscreen drinking, but the deckhand apparently won't be watching any of his antics anytime soon. In an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald , Michalzik revealed, "I would never watch reality TV with my time. So watching myself would just be the ultimate waste of time and also mega cringe." Despite now being a star on Bravo , it seems that Michalzik is just as happy to be out of the spotlight.

He also told the publication, "The editing is crazy," suggesting that his story might have been embellished, or certain details could have been left out. But as he hasn't watched any episodes as yet he claimed, "So I don't know what they have left in." However, despite apparently hating the medium on which he's now a star, Michalzik isn't afraid to connect with fans on social media, and has a very active, yet unverified as of this writing,  Instagram account .

Colin Macy-O'Toole regretted joining Below Deck Mediterranean

One of the absolute rays of sunshine on Below Deck Mediterranean has to be Colin Macy-O'Toole, whose rapping and general lovely behavior can even make João Franco act like a decent human being. But professional musician Macy-O'Toole apparently had his doubts about joining the show in the first place. Speaking with TV Series Hub , he discussed his first season on the show and said, "The first week I realized I didn't belong. I'm the only one that didn't work on a yacht before, but luckily my crew were great teachers and cared a lot and took time out of their day to teach me something new and made me feel really comfortable." But despite gradually getting used to living on a yacht, there was one thing that never improved: "MY BED. It was the size and comfortability of a coffee table," he quipped.

While Macy-O'Toole downplays his musical abilities, fans have seen him rap on the show. As he told TV Series Hub , "I've been involved with music since I was 5. I'm proficient in piano, saxophone and vocals. I made 3 New York State All-State ensembles in high school and earned a Bachelor's degree in Music Education!" Throughout Season 4, the deckhand put his music skills to great use by posting rap recaps on his YouTube channel.

João Franco and Brooke Laughton can't agree on why they broke up

Fans of Below Deck Mediterranean likely tracked the budding Season 3 romance between second stew Brooke Laughton and deckhand João Franco, while secretly wishing that Laughton would come to her senses and date Macy-O'Toole instead. However, now that Laughton and Franco are no longer together, both seem to have alternate stories about what happened. Franco claimed during Season 4 that Laughton cheated on him , which then led to the end of their relationship. However, Laughton had a very different version of events, telling  People , "I absolutely did not cheat on him."

Laughton opened up to the outlet about the end of the relationship, saying, "Although it initially hurt to hear João blamed our relationship breakdown on a false claim that I cheated on him, it is very true to his character and allows him some relief for his ego." She continued, "If this theory makes him sleep easier at night, then so be it but him saying this only makes me lose even more respect for him." Basically, we may never know who is telling the truth, but it's probably for the best that these two former onscreen love birds have now gone their separate ways.

How much does the cast of Below Deck Mediterranean really make?

In June 2019, The Washington Post reported on the inner workings of Below Deck and Below Deck Mediterranean , explaining how the charters on TV's most famous yachts work. The outlet reported that, on average, charters are three-days long, and guests pay for their trips, albeit at a discounted rate, "still costing a group anywhere from $35,000 to $75,000, according to yachting industry estimates." Along with the heavy discount, guests are expected to provide "a 10-15 percent cash tip to the crew" at the end of each charter, the exact amount being revealed each episode, and related back to the level of service the staff provided.

Alongside any salaries the crew members receive, which are likely to be in line with yachting industry standards, tipping is expected. Reporting on published rates for one of the vessels featured on  Below Deck Mediterranean , Bustle   claimed, "Since chartering the Ionian Princess starts at $167,000 per week, that means even for a one-week charter, the crew can expect to share another $8,350 to $25,050" in tip money. Not bad a week's work.

How real is Below Deck Mediterranean?

Any reality TV show should be viewed with a certain level of scrutiny, but just how real are the events of Below Deck and its Mediterranean spin-off? According to one of the show's producers, Mark Cronin (via his  reddit AMA ), "All reality shows are different. There is a spectrum from the very fake to the very real. I think though, that reality TV tends to be more real than you think. The skeptical audience is giving us too much credit for being masterminds." He also explained , "The contract between the cast and me is: 'Please make us a great show that people will love – and please be fair in portraying who we are and what we do.' I try to keep to that." However, some guests have been less than pleased with their portrayal onscreen.

According to charter guest Jesse Biter from Florida, he was "cast" to play the villain in Season 1, episodes 10 and 11. He told The Sarasota Observer , "I didn't mind being the show's villain." The former guest insisted that his role on the show had been produced , claiming, "We had a lot of fun. It was a great experience. ... it was really a game. And it was fun playing a role." He also told the publication, "People who know me know this isn't real." As for the truth of the matter, viewers will just have to keep on watching and guessing.

Mustique can be chartered from €230,000 / week . Her last asking price for sale was at $19,000,000.

Yachts featured in Below Deck Sailing Yacht (Spin off)

Parsifal iii luxury sailboat.

Parsifal III appears in the two seasons of the spin-off Below Deck Sailing yacht, captained by Glenn Shepard around Greece (season 1) and Croatia (season 2). Launched in 2005 by Perini Navi, this 177,2ft superyacht was designed by Remi Tessier. She can accommodate a total of 12 guests and 9 crew.

She is available from $237,500 to $274,000 per week to charter her around the Mediterranean and the Caribbean winter time.

In 2016, her selling asking price was $20,5 million.

Yachts featured in Below Deck Adventure (Spin off)

Motoryacht mercury (previously known as malibu and kermit).

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 .

Yachts featured in Below Deck Down Under (Spin off in Australia)

Thalassa (keri lee iii): the motoryacht in below deck down under season 1.

Thalassa was the vessel of choice for the Australian Spin off of Below Deck. The real name of the yacht isn’t actually Thalassa but Keri Lee III.

The 181ft (55m) yacht was built by the American shipyard Trinity Yachts and features amenities such as a gym, a jacuzzi and 6 magnificent cabins. The perfect vessel to sail in style the waters of Northeastern Australia.

Keri Lee has a weekly charter rate that starts at AUD310,000 .

Northern Sun: the yacht in 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 .

Below Deck yacht names revealed - and how much it costs to rent the celebrity superyachts

By Editorial Team |   Last Updated 10 October 2023

Since 2013, Below Deck has been captivating TV audiences across the globe by offering a voyeuristic peek into life on board multi-million dollar luxury charter yachts . Taking readers behind the scenes, YachtCharterFleet identifies the yachts featured on the show, as well as those which have appeared on the celebrated spin-off series Below Deck: Mediterranean , Below Deck: Sailing , Below Deck: Down Under and the latest iteration, Below Deck: Adventure .

Bravo’s hit reality TV series Below Deck chronicles the lives of crew members who work and reside aboard a luxury yacht during the charter season.

Each season features a different crew configuration, and the episodes show how the crew members interact and deal with personal issues alongside their working lives. The seasons are filmed over six weeks, with every episode featuring a new group of charter guests.

Getting even closer to these Below Deck superstars, we take a look at each of the stand-out features of every yacht that has appeared on the show.

Below Deck (US)

Many crew members are recurring on the show;  the longest-standing is Captain Lee Rosbach, who been on the show since 2013. A fan favourite, he has been at the helm of every yacht on Below Deck and seen a number of different crew formations.

The latest Below Deck season 10 is rumoured to be his final swan song, although his legacy on the show is such that whoever replaces him will have very big shoes to fill.

Among the crew members, Chief Stewardess Kate Chastain was an integral member of the team from season two to season seven. Alongside her, Chef Ben Robinson was a permanent fixture of the crew from season one to season four, before stepping out for season five.

Throughout the course of the show, the yachts have played an important role. 

Hiring a Below Deck yacht will cost from €140,000 per week - and that price doesn't include expenses such as fuel. While some of the yachts were given an alias over the course of filming, their real names can now be revealed below; as well as the exact cost to rent them. 

The largest yacht in the show's history, the 10th and 11th seasons of Below Deck  are set around the Caribbean islands of St Lucia  and Grenada onboard the luxurious 60m (197ft) superyacht ST DAVID . Delivered in 2008 by Italian shipyard Benetti, the yacht has an impressive sleek, supercar-inspired profile that instantly turns heads. 

Onboard highlights include her well-appointed sundeck with sunloungers and sunpads where guests can kick back and relax, a spa pool and her al fresco cinema screen set up for unforgettable movie nights.

One of the yacht's most distinctive features is her sophisticated spiral staircase that leads through all three decks and is lit by a skylight in the spa pool of the sun deck. The yacht is very versatile for a variety of charter party configurations, with room for 12 guests across six elegantly appointed cabins. 

STARSHIP (aka MY SEANNA)

Making an appearance on seasons 9, 8 and 6 of Below Deck , the majestic motor yacht STARSHIP (known on the show as MY SEANNA) is a yacht charter favorite.

The yacht has traveled far and wide for the show cruising to the jaw-droppingly beautiful St Kitts and Nevis in season 9, the sun-kissed Caribbean in season 8 and the  South Pacific  islands of  Tahiti in season 6.

Known for being among one of the most opulent yachts on the charter market due to her ornate interiors and glossy fittings that have been brushed in 22-carat gold, it is safe to say that this yacht is one of the most opulently styled and extensively equipped yachts on the water. Refitted in 2021, the Delta Marine yacht can accommodate 12 guests across 6 cabins and is extremely versatile for a variety of yacht charter party configurations. 

VALOR (aka BG)

Appearing three times on the hit show, the 47m (153ft) charter yacht BG (known on the show as VALOR) featured in seasons 7, 5 and 4 of Below Deck , taking charter guests to a variety of sun-kissed and beautiful locations. The yacht's real name is BG, and she was built in 1990 by the world's most revered shipbuilder Feadship . Since then, she has undergone many interiors refreshes to keep her in tip-top condition. 

The yacht traveled around Thailand in Season 7  where the crew and viewers were treated to a truly memorable South East Asian experience. From the iconic Phi Phi Islands to the beautiful beaches of Ko Yao Yai, there were plenty of fascinating landmarks to see on the way. Season 5 took viewers to the tranquil cruising grounds of  Saint Martin whilst season 4 saw M/Y BG in the glistening waters of the  Virgin Islands .

Accomodating 12 guests across 6 cabins, she is also capable of carrying up to 10 crew onboard to ensure a relaxed luxury yacht charter experience.

EROS (aka STAY SALTY)

Season 3 of Below Deck was announced after a hugely successful second-season finale, which was the highest-rated episode of the series. The new season saw the crew head to the Bahamas onboard  superyacht STAY SALTY  known on the show as EROS. 

She is equipped with an array of luxurious amenities including an eight-person sundeck Jacuzzi, barbecue and yacht-wide sound system. She also boasts timeless interior styling with intricate wood panelling and a neutral colour palette which helps create an inviting atmosphere for those on board.

The yacht was sold in November 2013 - just before filming for season 3 began - for an asking price of $17.9 million.

OHANA (aka STAR DIAMOND)

Premiering in August 2014, season 2 of Below Deck returned with 13 episodes documenting life on board the slightly smaller superyacht STAR DIAMOND in the British Virgin Islands . Among many other features, the yacht is equipped with a large sundeck, outdoor bar and luxury accommodation for 10 guests.

After filming the series, M/Y STAR DIAMOND was sold for an asking price of $10.9 million and is now on the charter market with a charter rate of $160,000/week. Extensively refit in 2022, the work on the superyacht has included a complete interior refresh, the yacht now features light, modern styling - an engine rebuild and a cabin conversion.

HONOR (aka BARENTS )

The first season of Below Deck premiered on 1 July 2013 after being announced in April 2012. Chartering around the Caribbean , the starring superyacht was named HONOR for the show but chartered under the name CUOR DI LEONE which translates to ‘Lion Heart’ in Italian. She now goes by the name BARENTS . 

Built by Italian shipyard Benetti in 1999 and refit in 2021, the famous vessel has undergone a complete makeover, bringing her up to modern standards. She can accommodate up to 12 charter guests and features luxury amenities for guests to enjoy including state-of-the-art TVs and a sundeck Jacuzzi.

Following the show, superyacht BARENTS was sold for around $15 million and her new owner commissioned a major refit. A great deal of money was spent on updating her interior with a classic-modern style of design as well as on brand-new exterior furniture and entertainment systems.

Below Deck: Mediterranean

Following on from the success of Below Deck , the spin-off  Below Deck: Mediterranean premiered in May 2016. While the original series takes place during the winter charter season when the Caribbean is at its peak, Below Deck: Mediterranean is filmed during the summer charter season.

Season one of Below Deck: Mediterranean saw Captain Mark Howard at the helm, but the baton was passed to Captain Sandy Yawn from two onwards. Chief Stewardess Hannah Ferrier was another permanent fixture on the show from season one to five, before leaving the show in season six.

As its name suggests, the show is based in the Mediterranean , the world’s most popular yachting hub from May to October. Despite the change in location, the same format and accompanying on-water antics from the crew and guests alike can be expected. Below, all the names of the superyachts which have appeared on the show, and the cost to rent them.

Season 8 of Below Deck: Mediterranean was aired in September 2023 and brought back yet more antics that included some tense franchise firsts. Set in the Ligurian Riviera, the hit Bravo series returns to Italy for the first time since season 3. The series followed the crew from mid-August until mid-September of 2022 onboard the 180-feet superyacht MUSTIQUE .

Holding up to 12 guests across 6 classically decorated cabins, this yacht is the epitome of elegance with its glossy mahogany paneling and cream upholstery. She is replete with water toys, including kayaks, a seabob, waterskis, and Zapata Flyboards, and has expansive deck areas– offering plenty of scope for both crew and guest antics which make Below Deck: Mediterranean so entertaining.

Season 7 of Below Deck: Mediterranean returned to the screens in July 2022 and brought back more drama and wealthy clientele, creating endless entertainment for viewers at home. Set in Malta , a destination never seen before on the show, the series followed the crew over an eight-week charter season onboard the 49m (160ft) superyacht HOME .

Accommodating up to 12 guests across 6 beautifully decorated staterooms, this yacht is described as a home away from home, the perfect platform for guests to soak up the sunshine, kick back and relax. From her convivial sundeck setup replete with a Jacuzzi and glowing cocktail bar to her panoramic sky lounge and state-of-the-art water toys, this yacht certainly had the wow factor that was required for Below Deck: Mediterranean .

LADY MICHELLE (renamed NEXT CHAPTER)

Season 6 of Below Deck: Mediterranean premiered in June 2021 and saw a new vessel,  motor yacht LADY MICHELLE , since re-named NEXT CHAPTER, take center stage. It also saw the return of Captain Sandy and Bosun Malia, plus a brand new crew. 

A floating paradise that turns heads on the water, this heavenly Benetti vessel comfortably accommodates 12 guests across 6 sumptuous staterooms, with additional capacity for up to 12 crew members. She also boasts an open-air cinema, a split-level owner's suite and an impressive array of water toys.

This season takes the crew to one of the most idyllic cruising grounds in the East Mediterranean : Croatia . Abounding with serene golden beaches, crystalline waters and gorgeous coves to explore, it's one of the most popular yacht charter destinations.

THE WELLINGTON (aka THE WELLESLEY)

Season 5 of Below Deck: Mediterranean premiered in the summer of 2020. The show was shot on board the motor yacht THE WELLESLEY , and the superyacht was given the alias THE WELLINGTON over the course of filming. 

The yacht has an elegant 1920's theme, with a chic club lounge complete with a bespoke humidor. She features plenty of marble accents and ample alfresco deck areas, as well as a jacuzzi with innovative spill pool features.

The yachties set course for Spain for this season, cruising around the azure waters of the Balearic Islands . The homeport was Port Adriano on the island of Mallorca .

Featuring in both Season 4 and Season 2 of Below Deck: Mediterranean ,  superyacht SIROCCO  is a yacht charter sensation. An elegant and sophisticated Heesen -built motor yacht, she features plenty of alfresco sunning areas and an 8-person jacuzzi pool; the perfect spot for the charter guests to unwind after a long day exploring.

Season 4 took the crew to one of the most iconic destinations in the Mediterranean ; the South of France . Between the luxury yachting hub of Monaco to the beautiful beaches in St Tropez , this season promises lashings of glitz and glamour. During Season 2 of Below Deck: Mediterranean , M/Y SIROCCO cruised the picturesque waters of  Croatia .

TALISMAN MAITON

Premiering in 2018, season 3 of  Below Deck: Mediterranean saw familiar and new faces head to the sublime cruising grounds of Italy. This time, the crew treated their discerning guests to a world of luxury on board the 54m/178ft motor yacht TALISMAN MAITON .

Built in 2006 and refit to an exacting standard in 2016, the yacht boasts a range of exciting features that make her particularly appropriate for the waters of the Amalfi Coast . Indeed, her entertainment options range from a stunning selection of water toys to a sundeck Jacuzzi and a refreshingly modern interior.

IONIAN PRINCESS

Premiering on 3 May 2016, the very first season of Below Deck: Mediterranean , a spin-off of the increasingly popular franchise, took to viewers' screens. This time the ‘yachties’ took care of their guests onboard the motor yacht IONIAN PRINCESS  in the Mediterranean  destination of Greece . 

The starring yacht IONIAN PRINCESS was delivered from Christensen in 2005 and was later refit in 2016 and again in 2021. Truly opulent, she bears interiors that are sleekly finished with a range of warmly toned woods and plenty of comfortable furnishings. She also boasts one of the largest sundecks for a yacht of her size.

Below Deck: Mediterranean Season 1 yacht IONIAN PRINCESS is not currently available for private yacht charter vacations.

Below Deck: Sailing Yacht

This is the first time the Below Deck franchise branched away from gleaming motor yachts, with the various weather issues that sailing yachts have to contend with adding even more drama and excitement.

The design of luxury sailing yachts  also creates far more confined crew areas than we are used to seeing on the original Below Deck . In general, sailing yachts tend to feature smaller galleys, compact stew stations and cramped crew quarters which are in closer proximity to the guests’ living areas, putting crew under increased pressure to deliver their signature silver service.

In addition, deck crew are placed in a far more demanding role, with sailing yachts requiring increased accuracy and precision to safely maneuver and plenty of deck duties taking place in the midst of guest areas.

PARSIFAL III

An iconic and suitable yacht for the much-loved series Below Deck: Sailing , the 54m (177ft) sailing yacht PARSIFAL III has blessed our screens for all four series of the hit maritime show.

Season 1 saw the sailing yacht cruising around the beautiful islands of Greece , an  East Mediterranean destination that is peppered with an incredible variety of islands. Season 2 was set around the glistening waters of Croatia and in  Season 3 of Below Deck Sailing , M/Y PARSIFAL III came back to where she traditionally charters in the beautiful Balearic island of Menorca . For the latest Below Deck: Sailing Yacht season she ventured around the glittering coastline of Sardinia .

The yacht can comfortably charter up to 12 guests across 5 luxurious cabins with a layout comprising a master suite, two double cabins and two twin cabins.

Below Deck: Down Under

Venturing to the mesmerizing Whitsunday islands in Australia , the much-beloved maritime show released another spin-off of the hit show in April 2022, Below Deck: Down Under . Recorded on Queensland's shores, viewers can see for themselves the impeccable Australian islands and all their beauty as the superyachts, their crew and charter guests travel to some of the most sought-after destinations in the world.  

NORTHERN SUN

Below Deck: Down Under  returns to our screens for its second outing, this time on board the 51m (167ft) explorer yacht NORTHERN SUN , with the coastal paradise of Cairns in Australia’s northern Queensland providing the glittering backdrop.

Headed up once more by the handsome Captain Jason Chambers, he is joined by returning chief stewardess, Aesha Scott, along with a brand new crew, including Chef Tzarina Mace-Ralph, Bosun Luke Jones and stews Laura Bileskaine and Margot Sisson.

Promising another round of crew antics and high drama, the bulk of the action takes place on board the classic explorer yacht, primed for adventure and boasting a wealth of luxurious amenities and an eye-catching exterior, charter guests will be in for a treat.

KERI LEE III (AKA THALASSA)

The perfect yacht for season 1 of Below Deck: Down Under , the 55m (181ft) yacht KERI LEE is the prime candidate for anyone looking for a taste of the superyacht lifestyle. Described as being like Downton Abbey on a boat, the yacht is home to an expansive beauty salon, massage room, gym, jacuzzi and movie theater, so there is definitely enough to keep all charter guests entertained.

In the first season of Below Deck: Down Under , this yacht traveled to some pretty spectacular destinations from the Great Barrier Reef , including the Whitsunday's , Hook Island, Block Reef and Henning Island, giving charter guests the opportunity to witness the outstanding beauty and clear waters of the Pacific .

Below Deck: Adventure

Airing its inaugral season at the end of 2022, Below Deck: Adventure brings more drama than ever before as the show takes viewers beyond the deck and off the yacht as thrill-seeking charter guests embark on a range of extreme and unforgettable experiences around the Norwegian Fjords. Some of the activities include paragliding, exploring unique caves and taking extreme helicopter rides, Below Deck: Adventure provides endless entertainment as well as giving viewers a glimpse of the astonishingly beautiful landscapes in and around  Norway . 

In  Below Deck: Adventure season 1, Capt. Kerry Titheradge leads the crew with Jessica Condy as Chef and Faye Clarke as Chief Stew.

As seen in season 1 of Below Deck Adventure , the 49m (164ft) motor yacht MERCURY is a high-quality and highly reliable Dutch-built luxury charter yacht. Delivered by Amels in 2001, the yacht is to the highest standard and pedigree and boasts a wealth of convivial spaces, perfect for relaxing, unwinding and socializing onboard. 

Home to an impressive array of amenities, standout highlights include an expansive Jacuzzi, a large swim platform for easy access to the water and a gym. An advanced stabilization system on board reduces the side-to-side roll of the yacht and promises guests exceptional comfort levels at anchor or when underway.

Below Deck: Superyacht TV show to return for two new series

US TV network Bravo has announced that superyacht TV show Below Deck will be returning to screens for two new spin-off seasons, Below Deck Adventure and Below Deck Down Under.

Premiering in early 2022, Below Deck Adventure will follow the escapades of explorer yachts cruising in the icy fjords of Norway , playing host to thrill-seeking charterers as they partake in adrenaline-fueled exploits while exploring the glacial waters and rugged landscapes.

Unlike other seasons that have been set in sunnier climes, such as Below Deck Mediterranean , the camera crew will follow charterers’ exhilarating activities in sub-zero temperatures, such as heli-skiing and dog sledding.

The crew will be pushed to new limits as they attempt to maintain a luxury service alongside managing the physical and technical demands of cold-weather cruising.

Below Deck Down Under will be aired on NBC’s Peacock streaming platform. This series, which is already well underway with filming, is taking place on the other side of the globe in Australia. Home to the Great Barrier Reef , Australia has some of the world’s greatest cruising grounds on offer, and the crew will be expected to provide activities for guests below and above the water, with scuba diving being one of the main draws of the region.

The TV show follows the secret lives of superyacht crews working on board charter yachts , capturing behind-the-scenes footage of their day-to-day obligations and interactions. Crews featured in previous series have worked on a range of superyachts available for charter , including 54 metre sailing yacht Parsifal III and 56.2 metre motor yacht The Wellesley .

Some crew members, such as Captain Lee Rosbach and Captain Sandy Yawn , have achieved something of a celebrity status following the success of the show’s earlier seasons.

Further details about the new series, including the crew cast, are yet to be announced but will be released in due course.

Is This the Most NSFW Moment in Below Deck History?

The October 10 episode of  Below Deck Med  includes a charter guest moment that leaves even Captain Sandy shocked.

All aboard for another wild charter on Season 7 of  Below Deck Mediterranean .  And this time, things are about to hit a whole new level of NSFW.

How to Watch

Watch Below Deck Mediterranean  on Peacock  and the Bravo app . 

Don’t believe us? Well, as you can see for yourself in the above preview of the October 10 episode of  Below Deck Med ,  Captain Sandy Yawn and the crew learn just how NSFW (or for many places, for that matter) these charter guests will get as they very quickly go from clothed to nude for some activities.

“Should we get naked first?” they ask, and then proceed to go for it, because why not? They seem very much in vacation mode.

“Oh my god. They’re completely nude in the chairs,” Captain Sandy observes after the guests strip down right in front of the crew, specifically Storm Smith , who shares in an interview that he is really trying to maintain a professional demeanor amid the moment.

Check out what we mean in the preview clip above. But that’s not the end of the wild times, as a BDSM-themed party is also on the agenda and the crew is definitely prepping for “a lit couple of days.”

The crew is dealing with these party-ready charter guests while also navigating even more interpersonal drama, changes in the team, and some stormy weather. So, just another day aboard the  Home .

But that’s not all! Check out another first look at the October 10 episode of  Below Deck Med , in which the cast embarks on a night out, below.

Watch  Below Deck Mediterranean  on Bravo Mondays at 8/7c and the next day on  Peacock  and the  Bravo app .

Why: Choose a Mediterranean Yacht Charter?

Mediterranean yacht charter vacations are always by far and away the most popular summer location. You can read hundreds of our client endorsements here . Think the French Riviera, Monaco, Italy, Croatia, Sardinia, Spain and Greece. This is where most of the large crewed superyachts are concentrated and this is where also where you will find a huge variety of interesting places and cultures to experience. The Mediterranean (or Med’ for short) has everything. The area covers a large diversity of countries, cultures landscapes and experiences. Yet, the fantastic thing is that they are relatively close together, so you can create convenient and action packed itineraries very easily. On top of this, the yachting infrastructure in Europe is second to none so there are dozens of beautiful marinas filled with beautiful private superyachts and mega yachts that can be chartered as well as all the shops, restaurants, bars and conveniences that you could need. Because of its popularity the Mediterranean has an incredible choice of charter boats available to rent, both motor (power) yachts and sailing yachts, including the ever more widespread large luxury private superyacht charters.

How Much Does it Cost To Charter a Yacht in The Mediterranean?

Mediterranean yacht charter prices vary according to the size, style and age of the yacht. Our luxury superyacht charter yachts rent from 30,000 Euro to over 1,000,000 per week, plus expenses, in the form of an advanced provisioning allowance (APA). Conversely, smaller 'all inclusive' type vacations cost between Euro 15,000 to 50,000 per week. Here is the full list of all the charter yachts and here are the current Mediterranean yachts with special discounted prices .

Timing & Weather: The Mediterranean Yachting Season

The Mediterranean yachting season generally runs from April to the end of October. During the height of the season, in July and August, the climate is warm and sunny and the winds tend to be light. While this is the high season for all tourism, you can still easily avoid onshore tourists while afloat. The weather can also be good during the shoulder seasons.

Tip: Shoulder Season Means Value & Choice

Another good time to charter your yacht is generally on either of the shoulder seasons from April-May and September-October. These periods fall each side of the main summer season when the temperatures are still comfortable. September, for instance, is an underrated time of the year because the weather is usually good (if not too hot) but the sea is at its maximum temperature which is ideal for swimming. At this time there is greater choice of berths and anchorages for your boating vacation and the onshore tourists are not present in their largest numbers.

Important Spots: Consider These For Your Mediterranean Yacht Charter

Mediterranean yachting holiday locations are unequaled in their natural beauty, cultural heritage, passion, glamour and style. There was a time when the Mediterranean was the center of the known and civilized world and for private yacht charter vacations, to an extent, it still is. Today, the clear azure waters of the Mediterranean maintain a cachet of culture, history, sophistication, luxury yachts and stunning beauty, all with an endearing reputation of unrestrained energy.

The sunny Mediterranean is often conveniently split into two main areas - The Western Mediterranean and the Eastern Mediterranean . Both parts are culturally unique, yet both are lipped with stunning beaches, hidden coves, majestic ports and luxury yachts. Yachts of all sizes and shapes grace the Mediterranean, some are large motor yachts, some are sleek sailing yachts, some performance orientated and others of a more comfortable cruising style. This fabled area provides the untamed extravagance of the French Riviera , the gravity-defying architecture of the Italian coasts, the unaffected charms of Croatia, the fragrant orange groves of Spain , the exotic lure of Turkey and Greece , the birthplace of civilization.

"There was a time when the Mediterranean was the center of the known and civilized world and for private yacht charter vacations, to an extent, it still is."

The Mediterranean charter area takes in the Tyrrhenian, Ionian, Aegean and Adriatic seas. It includes the austere and striking islands of Sardinia , Corsica , the Balearics and Malta . Some of the most famous private yacht charter spots include Monaco , Nice , Cannes , St Tropez , Capri , Portofino , Amalfi , Positano, Porto Cervo, Palma de Mallorca , Valencia , Barcelona, Dalmatians, Corfu, Mykonos, Piraeus, Bodrum and Marmaris, to name a few. And some of the charter boat countries bordering the Mediterranean include France , Spain , Italy, Croatia , and Greece .
