Season 1 cast of Below Deck Sailing Yacht: Where are they now?

Where is the Season 1 cast of Below Deck Sailing Yacht? It’s a question on many fans’ minds as the Bravo sailing show’s new season hits the airwaves.

Captain Glenn Shephard will be the only familiar face on Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2, and that is a good thing.

Based on the first-look trailer, Bravo did a 180 with the hit show, adding a lot more spice and flare to the show. Plus, new chief stew Daisy Kelliher promised a closer-knit interior crew, a slew of sex, and partying.

Let’s take a look at what happened to Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 1 crew after the virtual reunion took place last summer.

The interior crew

It’s no surprise Jenna and Adam’s romance went bust not long after filming for the Bravo show ended.

Jenna launched a podcast, Wild Loner, where she opens up about her life, love, and travel adventures. Last fall, Jenna insinuated she had moved on with a new guy but based on her recent Instagram posts, it appears she’s single.

Adam spends his time road tripping around the United States with his dog Tex, which he turned into a web series, Stoked for Outside TV. The chef meets with local chefs to cook over a campfire and learn about the region.

Madison Stalker briefly dated Below Deck Med Season 5 alum Robert Westergaard. She just started working with Below Deck alum Adrienne Gang. Madison is still living life to the fullest, traveling when possible amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Georgia Grobler got fit while in lockdown, losing 20 pounds, gaining muscle, and getting healthy. Georgia also focused on her music. Last December, she dropped her first album, The Same Mistakes.

The deck crew

Paget Berry and Ciara Duggan not only got engaged but bought a house in France . No, they didn’t give up yachting for land life.

At the end of last year, Ciara worked with Below Deck Med Season 5 alums Jessica More and Alex Radcliffe. Meanwhile, Paget has been focused on staying fit and healthy, going through a total body transformation. Paget shares his fitness routine on social media to help others looking to make a healthy change.

Byron Hissey is enjoying family and yachting life still. The chief engineer splits his time between working on boats and with his family. Bryon shared in an Instagram post he met up with pal Captain Glenn for Christmas.

Parker McCown has been living his best life with his fiancé Kaiti in Colorado. Although he hopes to work on yachts again, the former deckhand is focused on making music and planning a wedding.

Chris Miller, who replaced Parker, has been living in the UK, traveling all over Europe when the current health climate allows and working on his photography.

There it is Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans, a look at what happened to the Season 1 cast.

Meet The Cast Of Below Deck Sailing Yacht- Photos

By Mandatory Staff

Sadly, this season of  Below Deck is coming to an end, but there is a new spin-off show premiering tonight. Below Deck Sailing Yacht starts Season 1 at 9 PM on Bravo.

We will see one familiar face, Adam Glick , a chef who appeared in two seasons of Below Deck Mediterranean . You know him best for spitefully cooking with onions despite the requests on the guests’ preference sheet and for a love triangle with Malia White and Wes Walton . Aside from Adam, the cast is full of new people.

Captain Glenn Shephard  has more than 20 years of yachting experience , who prides himself on being “laid back’ and empowering his crew to take ownership of their work tasks. It will be interesting to see how this works out since these Below Deck shows aren’t known for casting the most capable workers. Drama is first and foremost when it comes to the crew members.

Episode Info

Below Deck Season 1: Where Are The Cast Members Now?

Sailing through the oceanic blues, Bravo’s ‘Below Deck’ chronicles the lives of crew members aboard a mega yacht as they reside and work on the vessel during the charter season. The reality television show was launched in 2013 and has juxtaposed the thrill of sailing with the drama of its crew. As the Chief Stew, Captain, Deckhands, and Chef try to navigate the interpersonal conflicts of their workplace, several chaotic themes follow. Years since the debut season came on air, fans have been curious to find out the whereabouts of the original cast members. So, if you also want to know the whereabouts of the reality stars, look no further because we’ve got all the answers right here!

Lee Rosbach is Navigating Life Beyond Reality TV

At 73, Captain Lee Rosbach has led his crew on sails for more than three decades. The television personality was once a Wendy’s manager. His first encounter with the ocean came in his mid-30s when he and his wife, Mary Anne, moved to Turks & Caicos to run a restaurant. At 35, Lee obtained his Captain’s license and has since never looked back. Commonly referred to as the “Stud of the Sea,” he has been in the business for more than four decades. However, after leading his crew for ten seasons, Captain Lee bid his final farewell to the Bravo reality show.

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

During season 10 of ‘Below Deck,’ fans witnessed Lee’s worsening health conditions, leading to him temporarily sitting out. The reality TV star has been facing mobility issues that have led to high pain levels. Ultimately, the network didn’t invite the boat captain back for season 11. Many have speculated that Lee’s exit from the show came after he conflicted with Captain Sandy Yawn in season 10. Yet, these rumors stand unconfirmed. Nevertheless, Lee Rosbach has now teamed up with Kate Chastain, hosting Bravo’s new series, ‘Couch Talk with Captain Lee and Kate.’

The revered Captain and former chief stew break down the biggest Bravo TV moments of the week on their new show. On the personal front, Lee continues to enjoy life with his family and loved ones. After losing his son , Joshua, at 42, to an opioid addiction in 2019, he has become extensively vocal about rehabilitation for people struggling with addiction. Despite sustaining such an incredible loss, the family continues to honor Joshua’s memory through donations and giving testimony in front of Congress.

Aleks Taldykin is Leading in Yacht Management

Originally picked up by the production house to enact the role of Captain on the yacht, Aleks was ultimately replaced by Captain Lee Rosbach after the yacht owner expressed his discomfort with him taking over the reins. Eventually, he became the Captain’s next-in-command but didn’t return to the series after season 1.

Since his exit from the show, Aleks has maintained his love for the ocean and is currently the CEO of Elite Yacht Management, a company servicing yachts from the Pacific to the Atlantic. He is also a Yacht Broker specializing in selling large motor yachts in California. In 2016, Aleks had also appeared on ‘Vanderpump Rules.’ At 33, the television personality enjoys life with his wife and family.

Ben Robinson is Engaging in Culinary Ventures and Content Creation

With several credentials, including an apprenticeship at Chef Heston Blumenthal’s restaurant, The Fat Duck, Ben brought his intersectional knowledge of restaurant and catering to ‘ Below Deck .’ However, the reality TV star ultimately left the show after season 2. Ben later appeared on ‘Below Deck: Mediterranean’ and ‘Below Deck: Galley Talk.’ Surprisingly, the certified health coach was briefly speculated to be the father of Chief Stew Kate Chastain’s baby. However, both have time and again denounced trolls for such rumors.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Chef Ben Robinson (@benstogram)

On the personal front, the 42-year-old is engaged to Kiara Cabral. After nearly four years of dating, the television personality went down on his knee at the Vatican to profess his love. When Ben isn’t enjoying his time with friends and family, he’s engaged in several other commitments. Furthermore, he is a TikTok and Cameo creator who sells his personal merchandise brand and offers several services through online channels.

Adrienne Gang is Expanding Her Culinary Expertise

Despite her short-lived stint on ‘Below Deck,’ Adrienne quickly became a fan-favorite for dealing with a difficult crew. The 39-year-old Chief Stew has found herself busy with other endeavors. Apart from freelancing as a stew on different boats, she has also returned to her job as a Chef. Before taking up the role in reality television, Adrienne had been a professional chef for eight years.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Adrienne Gang (@adriennegang)

The television personality is now working at the Culinary Vegetable Institute and Chef’s Garden, honing her skills and expanding her work portfolio. On the family front, Adrienne is married to Chiropractor Dr. Andrew Banks. The couple tied the knot in 2018 in a beachfront ceremony and have enjoyed marital bliss ever since. Sadly, they faced a substantial loss in 2021 after they miscarried their baby. Nevertheless, Adrienne and Andrew remain unfazed by these struggles and enjoy their life with their dog, Buddy. In addition, she hosts the ‘Gangplant Report’ podcast.

C.J. LeBeau is Actively Working in Marketing

Disembarking from the yacht just before the crew could take its final charter, C.J. Beau quickly became disinterested in the activities onboard and eventually left the boat behind. Since then, he has not reappeared in the series and has maintained a profile outside the media. Shortly after the season ended, C.J. was taken into police custody in Phoenix, Arizona, for allegedly getting in a physical altercation with his then-fiance.

The television personality was reportedly charged with intentional assault and defacing property. It was also reported that C.J. allegedly broke his fiance’s cell phone during the fight. Later, he became the Sales Director for Direct Source Distributing, a marketing company based in San Diego. On the personal front, C.J. has maintained privacy and doesn’t disclose his private information.

Kat Held is Pursuing Nursing and Bartending

Despite repeatedly knocking heads with the Chief Stew, Kat quickly became a fan-favorite for her famous phrases. However, she ended up leaving the show after season 2. Since then, Kat has been pursuing different opportunities. The 39-year-old worked as a waitress before eventually returning to nursing school in 2017. Kat also worked as a Bartender in Las Vegas and currently likes to keep her personal and professional details under wraps. Moreover, the television personality attended ‘Watch What Happens Live’ with her ‘Below Deck’ costars in 2020.

Samantha Orme is Building a New Life and Career

While Samantha’s time was full of ups and downs on the yacht, the television personality decided she wanted more in life and not just work at a mega yacht. Shortly after exiting the show, she met Bradley Ulmer, a Coast Guard Helicopter Pilot, and the two hit it off. The couple decided to tie the knot a few months into dating.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Samantha Ulmer (@samiorme)

Subsequently, the duo welcomed their daughters, Blake and Molly. On the professional front, 36-year-old Samantha has accrued equal success. The television personality was the Vice President of a Solar Energy Firm before she returned to study Industrial Engineering. She is currently working as the Enterprise Program Manager for Fidelity National Information Services.

Eddie Lucas is Commanding the Harbor

After appearing as the Deckhand in season 1, Eddie ultimately became a Bosun and the First Officer on the Bravo series. Yet, after eight seasons, he decided to leave the franchise entirely. Eddie is now the Captain of a harbor tug boat in the Baltimore Harbor. The homeowner had revealed in an interview with The New York Post that he gets paid the lowest amount compared to other shows on Bravo.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Eddie Lucas (@eddielucas)

It is also speculated that Eddie’s arguments with Rayna Lindsey over alleged homophobic comments could have been the reason for his departure from the show. Nevertheless, these speculations have not been entertained by the television personality. Instead, the 38-year-old has left behind the reality television life and now focuses on chartering to the Caribbean and experiencing the best of the ocean life with his dog named Bert, as well as friends and loved ones.

David Bradberry is Pursuing Acting Opportunities

Sailing through the season without any conflict, David’s endearing demeanor won countless viewers during the show. Regardless, the reality TV star ultimately left the series following his appearance in season 1. Since then, David has explored a path in entertainment and starred in works like, ‘Confessions,’ ‘The Last Straight Man,’ ‘Fiendish Things,’ and ‘The Men Next Door.’ On the personal front, the 37-year-old is no longer with his boyfriend featured in ‘Below Deck.’ The television personality has since kept his dating life under wraps and loves to maintain a private profile.

Below Deck: Sailing Yacht Complete Guide: Updates, Cast, Seasons

When Below Deck sailed onto Bravo in 2013, it was a hit with fans. It quickly spawned several spin offs. Below Deck Mediterranean debuted in 2013. In February 2020, Below Deck Sailing Yacht premiered.

It followed the lives of “yachties” working on a 177-foot sailing yacht called Parsifal III. This luxurious vessel cruised the Ionian Sea. If you are a newbie, or just brushing up on this franchise, this Below Deck Sailing Yacht guide has everything you need.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Cast Members

Captain Glenn Shephard has been at the helm since the series debuted . He is relaxed until pushed to the limit. During Season 2, Captain Glenn assembled a core team that returned for multiple seasons.

During Season 2, Gary King served as chief officer, and Colin MacRae was the chief engineer. Chief stew Daisy Kelliher also joined the crew. Chef Natasha De Bourg , who had a Michelin-star rating, left after the second season. The guests may have loved her food, but Daisy was critical of her skills.

Chef Ileisha Dell took over the galley during Season 4. She prepared an elaborate, and time-consuming, 10-course meal. Chef’s kiss!

There have been plenty of fireworks on this franchise. And we have it all in this handy Below Deck Sailing Yacht guide. During Season 1, Chef Adam Glick and chief stew Jenna MacGillivray hit it off. Their PDA-filled “boatmance” turned off their fellow crew members.

There was baby drama after Season 2 when second stew Dani Soares announced that she was pregnant with Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux’s child. Jean-Luc requested a DNA test , which confirmed he was the father of Dani’s daughter.

And Gary participated in too many romances. During Season 2, he romanced both deckhand Sydney Zaruba and stew Alli Dore .

Then Daisy and Gary had sex between Seasons 3 and 4. During Season 4, Daisy also hooked up with Gary’s buddy, Colin. Yet Gary continued to flirt with Daisy. Season 4 became awkward in a hurry!

Gary was also involved in another romantic entanglement with stew Mads Herrera . But she locked lips with deckhand Alex Propson , too. Season 4 absolutely delivered!

Add in some nautical accidents, too. Captain Glenn hit the dock twice during Season 2. And during Season 3, a hazardous overnight squall put everyone in danger.

All in all, there was plenty of excitement aboard Parsifal III.

Former ‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’ Stars: Where Are They Now?

Offering a glimpse into their lives. Over the years, Bravo viewers have seen Below Deck Sailing Yacht cast members come and go — but not before they brought drama to the high seas.

The spinoff series, which premiered in 2020, shocked viewers when Dani Soares and Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux ‘s onscreen fling took a turn once they left Parsifal III . During the season 2 reunion, the second stew revealed that that she was expecting a child — and that her ex-boyfriend was the father.

“Let’s put it this way, This baby was made during the season while we had cameras 24/7 with us and I only slept with one guy,” Dani said in June 2021. “He hasn’t supported me at all in any way. He thinks it is not his child and he doesn’t want to have anything to do with it.”

Jean-Luc, for his part, explained in an individual interview that he wanted a DNA test to confirm the paternity before getting involved. “I want to be there for you,” he explained while recording a message for his former costar during the reunion . “Though you may not want anything to do with me because of me asking you for a paternity test, that’s something that I can get over. But what I can’t get over if this is my child is not being there for her.”

At the time, the deckhand noted that he wanted his relationship with Dani to get to a better place.

“Dani, what we had on the show for me was real. I don’t care what anybody says, even now that we’re going through what we are going through. What I felt for you, and the time that we had, was genuine. Everything that I ever said to you was true,” he added. “The fact that we are at where we are now, I am really sorry and I would assume to say that most of it is my fault.”

Seven months after Dani welcomed her daughter, Jean-Luc confirmed that he was the father . “I’m happy and proud to say sweet and beautiful Lilly Rose is my daughter,” he wrote via Instagram in January 2022. “Dani and I have been working and communicating together to the best of our ability. This is imperative [to work out] for the sake of our daughter as she needs both parents in her life.”

During season 3 of the hit Bravo series, fans focused on the connection between another duo. Gary King and Daisy Kelliher became a topic of conversation after their tumultuous relationship seemingly turned romantic.

“What can I say, I’m not picky when it comes to making out with people. I’ll pretty much make out with anyone,” the chief stew said via Instagram in January 2022 after footage of her making out with Gary was released. “I’m really enjoying how many people’s minds are blown [about Gary]. No one’s mind was more blown than mine the next day. I have no recollection of that kiss.”

Meanwhile, the bosun revealed that he wouldn’t rule out a potential romance in the future.

“I think there’s something there between Daisy and I, for sure. The more I spend time with Daisy and the more I get to know her, the more I like her,” he said on Daisy’s “Pita Party” Instagram show with Alli Dore in June 2022. “We’ve never really actually spent some quality time together. A little bit here and there, but it hasn’t been for, like, a week, you know? Doing a TV show is a bit different. You’ve got cameras around all the time, you’ve got other people there, so I find that’s different.”

[sendtonews type="float" key="4ZpWz2E9sz-2833340-14453"] Seven months after Dani welcomed her daughter, Jean-Luc confirmed that he was the father . “I’m happy and proud to say sweet and beautiful Lilly Rose is my daughter,” he wrote via Instagram in January 2022. “Dani and I have been working and communicating together to the best of our ability. This is imperative [to work out] for the sake of our daughter as she needs both parents in her life.” During season 3 of the hit Bravo series, fans focused on the connection between another duo. Gary King and Daisy Kelliher became a topic of conversation after their tumultuous relationship seemingly turned romantic. “What can I say, I’m not picky when it comes to making out with people. I’ll pretty much make out with anyone," the chief stew said via Instagram in January 2022 after footage of her making out with Gary was released. “I’m really enjoying how many people’s minds are blown [about Gary]. No one’s mind was more blown than mine the next day. I have no recollection of that kiss.” Meanwhile, the bosun revealed that he wouldn't rule out a potential romance in the future. “I think there’s something there between Daisy and I, for sure. The more I spend time with Daisy and the more I get to know her, the more I like her,” he said on Daisy's “Pita Party” Instagram show with Alli Dore in June 2022. “We’ve never really actually spent some quality time together. A little bit here and there, but it hasn’t been for, like, a week, you know? Doing a TV show is a bit different. You’ve got cameras around all the time, you’ve got other people there, so I find that’s different.” Scroll down to learn more about how some former Below Deck Sailing Yacht stars have kept busy after the show:

After season 1 came to an end, Paget's personal life made headlines when he proposed to long-time girlfriend Ciara Duggan . The Below Deck couple, who started dating in 2016, ended their engagement in 2021.

The first mate moved on with Johana Mills and they went Instagram official in November 2021. Less than one year later, Paget announced that the pair were engaged.

The second stew dealt with some major ups and downs during the first season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht . Madison, who has remained low-key since her exit, surprised fans when she claimed she dated Below Deck Mediterranean star Rob Westergaard .

In October 2020, Madison opened up about getting ghosted by the deckhand. Rob, for his part, never publicly acknowledged the relationship or Madison's comments.

The deckhand, who appeared in season 2, received backlash when he questioned if he was the father of Dani's baby. After publicly acknowledging his paternity, Jean-Luc has used his online platform to showcase his travels while working on a yacht in Miami.

Jean-Luc has seemingly remained in the United States and hasn't publicly discussed a trip overseas.

After a rocky experience on season 3, Ashley chose not to attend the show's reunion . The second stew, who was briefly linked to Tom Pearson and Gary while on Parsifal III, launched an Only Fans account and shares photos from her travels on her Instagram.

Gabriela Barragan

After leaving  Below Deck Sailing Yacht  in season 3, the San Diego native moved to a smaller vessel. She was a first mate on  Below Deck  season 9 alum Wes O'Dell 's sailboat, and the two started dating in early 2022.

"He’s working with me, and I couldn’t appreciate it more," Barragan gushed on the "Gangplank Report" podcast in April 2022. "Not just about the stuff about the show but just advancing my career. He's super behind me getting my captain's license. He's teaching me everything he knows, and he's super knowledgeable about sailing. It's insane, and I just haven't felt this supported by a partner in years."

Where Is the Season 1 Below Deck Cast Now?

Have they given up on yachting forever?

What began as nine people working on a mega yacht in the Caribbean, followed by cameras everywhere, ended up becoming a cultural phenomenon. We're talking about Bravo's Below Deck , of course, and across 23 seasons and two other iterations of the show ( Med and Sailing Yacht ), the series has exposed the underbelly of ultra-luxurious yachting industry, from nit-picky clients and pesky pool toys to drug scandals and affairs with charter guests that—wait for it—rocked the boat.

Season 1 of Below Deck feels like eons ago because, well, it was. And because the show has changed so much since it's first season. And while we're on the subject, you're probably wondering about the whereabouts of Adrienne Gang, our chief stew, or Eddie Lucas, our bosun, and the rest of our motley crue. Where are the cast members of Below Deck season 1 now?

Here's the low-down on our Honor crew:

Aleks Taldykin

Aleks was good-looking, boring, and resented Captain Lee. (That's all we really remember from him.) Turns out he's still working on yachts, but now, as a captain. In a 2019 interview with Vulture , Aleks revealed he was originally intended to be the Captain Lee of the series and was cast as captain for season 1. Long story short, the boat's owner didn't feel comfortable with Aleks, and Captain Lee stepped in to take his place (which explains some of the tension between the two).

Ben Robinson

After season 1, Ben , of course, became a staple on the series, appearing in a number of other Below Deck and Below Deck Med seasons. He's in a relationship now and living in Florida. He currently owns and operates a catering company .

Adrienne Gang

Who could forget Adrienne, perhaps best known for taking her job a little too seriously? Well, looks like her time on Below Deck hasn't turned off boats for ever. She's still a yachtie and remains working as a chief stew on other boats. She's also married and pretty vocal on Reddit about how heavily produced the show is. (If you're watching the current season of BDM, Adrienne claims Kiko's departure was pre-planned by producers.)

Kat , who just really wanted to go to the bar, appeared on season 2 of Below Deck before leaving the yachting industry altogether. She tried her hand at bartending and waitressing shortly after the show. During a recent series reunion, Kat said she was pursuing nursing.

During season 1, Sam mostly just hated her job and maybe Adrienne even more. It shouldn't come as a surprise that she's no longer a yachtie. Thanks to some internet sleuthing, it appears she's an engineer now, and in July, she gave birth to her first child, Blake.

Eddie Lucas

A fan favorite throughout his time on the series, Eddie had it all—then he went and messed it all up after a season 3 affair with crew member, Rocky. Things got rocky with his then-girlfriend and they later broke up. He's now living back in Maryland and working in the less cushy industry of tugboats . (And don't worry, Eddie hasn't disappeared from our screens forever. He'll appear as the bosun once more during the upcoming season of Below Deck .)

C.J. LeBeau

We all know what happened to second engineer, C.J., during his relatively short-lived time on the show. Around the time the season first aired, he made headlines after getting arrested for assaulting his girlfriend. He doesn't maintain any public social media accounts.

David Bradberry

David was our innocent crew member who managed to make it through the first season with little-to-no conflict. He also got engaged to his then-boyfriend during the show. David appeared as a deckhand in one other season, working alongside Eddie once more. In 2019, he broke up with his fiancé who was seen on the show. He's now an actor and living in D.C.

Captain Lee

The stud of the sea remains the longest-running member of the Below Deck franchise . He lives in Fort Lauderdale with his wife, Mary Anne. He remains friends with several former Below Deck cast members, though it doesn't appear that he's tight with his Honor crew.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht: Season Five Cast and Premiere Date Announced by Bravo

by Regina Avalos, September 18, 2024

(Photo: Bravo Media)

Below Deck Sailing Yacht has its return date set. Season five of the reality series will return next month, and Bravo has announced new crew members who will join Capt. Glenn Shephard, Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher, and First Mate Gary King on board the Parsifal III this season.

Chef Cloyce Martin, Chief Engineer Davide Morosi, stews Diana Cruz and Danni Warren, and deckhands Keith Allen and Emma Crouch will join the cast for season five of the series, and they will bring some drama with them.

Bravo revealed the following about what is to come in season five:

Capt. Glenn and his expert crew set sail on Parsifal III to the luxury party capital of the world, Ibiza. While Ibiza is known for its sunny day parties and crystal-clear coast, it’s stormy waters ahead for the crew as they navigate blossoming boatmances, competitive co-workers and tense personal dynamics, all while trying to raise the bar every charter. After a distracting love triangle last season that took her focus away from work, Daisy is ready to take the reins back in the interior department with a new sense of energy and determination. 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.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht returns on October 7th . The trailer for season five is below.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 cast: Meet Captain Glenn's new and returning crew members

Captain Glenn Shephard will be back on the small screen soon for Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5.

After a delay and a slew of fan speculation, Season 5 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht finally received a premiere date and a trailer.

As Monsters and Critics previously reported, the hit sailing show returns in less than a month with many newbies to bring the drama.

However, in true Below Deck fashion, a couple of alums make up Captain Glenn’s latest crew, but a fan favorite is missing.

Colin MacRae isn’t returning as Chief Engineer after a turbulent Season 4 that fractured his friendships with Gary King and Daisy Kellier.

The three helped revamp the sailing show after a lackluster Season 1, making it a hit along with Captain Glenn. Colin will undoubtedly be missed.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht stars Daisy Kelliher and Gary King are back

Two people needing no introduction are Gary and Daisy, who are each back for their fourth season on Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

Last summer, photos of Gary and Daisy filming Season 5 were leaked; honestly, we weren’t surprised to see them in the mix. Despite their friction, which amps up for Season 5, Daisy and Gary make good television.

Gary was featured much less in the trailer than in previous seasons, and that likely has to do with the sexual misconduct allegations that came out after Season 5 was filmed. Recently, Gary shared an update about his accuser as he continues to proclaim his innocence.

Who are Captain Glenn Shephard’s new Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 crew members?

Chef Cloyce Martin takes over the galley, and at 22, his age will play a huge factor in the season. We already see him clash with Daisy in the trailer.

Davide Morosi takes over Colin’s chief engineer role, and he seems to be pretty private, with little to no activity on social media.

Stew Diana Cruz declares herself “an organized mess” who has caught the acting and yachting bug.

Danni Warren rounds out the interior crew. She has a connection with Below Deck Med’s Bri Muller and seems to want to be in the social media influencer game, too.

Deckhand Keith Allen catches Daisy’s eye on Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5. Keith isn’t just a sailing yachtie but a photographer and diver who loves to travel.

Emma Crouch makes up the rest of Gary’s deck team. She’s all about being a yachtie, including helping others get into the business as a trainer with Paper Boat Yachting Academy.

That’s a brief preview of the Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 cast. Fans will have to turn in to find out more about Captain Glenn’s crew, especially to learn how Daisy and Gary work together after their Season 4 fallout.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 premieres on Monday, October 7 at 9/8c on Bravo. Seasons 1-4 are streaming on Peacock.

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

Why lack of producer interference might get below deck sailing yacht season 5 canceled (they let gary king's bad behavior slide), the golden bachelorette: what went wrong between joan vassos and mark anderson (spoilers).

With Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 on the horizon, Gary King may have been invited onto the crew as a producer plant. Gary debuted on the series during the show’s second season as Captain Glenn Shephard’s First Officer after Paget Berry left season 1 . After his first appearance, he earned the label of a playboy on the sailing yacht. Gary hooked up with many women during season 2 and carried this behavior into each subsequent season he’s been a part of. Fans thought his actions were creepy and problematic , though he was never fired.

After starring on Below Deck Sailing Yacht in season 4, Gary was accused of sexual misconduct by a former makeup artist who worked on the series. The allegations made headlines, though production notably didn’t fire him from the show. Even after the accusations were revealed, Gary returned for season 5 , though they weren’t the first time his behavior was questioned. The First Officer acted out numerous times across his many seasons on the show, hinting that he was brought back to the cast to act as a producer plant.

8 Gary Brought Up His Off-Screen Romance With Daisy On Camera

They vowed to keep their hook-up private.

In an attempt to cause drama on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4, Gary revealed that he’d hooked up with Daisy Kelliher. The two yachties have worked alongside one another since season 2, though viewers were not aware of their romantic history with each other. When Daisy formed a boatmance with Colin Macrae, the yacht’s chief engineer, Gary grew jealous and revealed they had a past. The First Officer insisted that Daisy had feelings for him and was hooking up with Colin to get back at him while he was sleeping with Stew, Mads Herrera.

“Gary and I slept together when the season ended last year in Minorca, and we also slept together when we went to Disneyland.”

Instead of letting his friends carry on in their romantic relationship, Gary had to sabotage their connection by claiming Daisy wanted to be with him. The Chief Stew admitted she had feelings for both men but didn’t want to be “ one of [Gary’s] 10 million girlfriends ” and that he “ wouldn’t know a real connection if it slapped him in the face .” Daisy said she asked Gary to keep their hook-up to themselves away from the cameras, but he couldn’t resist creating a hectic reality TV moment. He sabotaged his friendship with Daisy for the show, which is further proof he could be a producer plant.

7 Gary Is Always Hooking Up With A New Woman Every Season

He’s had too many boatmances to count.

The First Officer has hooked up with many women during his time on Below Deck Sailing Yacht . Gary joined the crew of season 2 with a girlfriend at home but found no problem getting involved with not one but two women, Sydney Zaruba and Alli Dore, during the charter season. By the third season, he infamously hooked up with Ashley Marti and went on to flirt with Gabriela Barragan and Scarlett Bentley. During his most recent appearance on the show in season 4, he hooked up with Mads while admitting his feelings for Daisy amid her relationship with Colin. Gary may not be keen on monogamy, and that’s okay, but his behavior toward women isn’t. There were eyes on his behavior before the allegations came out, and now they’re at an all-time high.

6 Gary Inserts Himself In Drama

He’s attracted to the drama of it all.

Gary has been at the center of Below Deck Sailing Yacht ’s main conflict since season 2.

He appears to be drawn to drama and has never missed an opportunity to create conflict.

There was no need for Gary to reveal he’d hooked up with Daisy in season 4, especially if they agreed to keep their sexual past private. However, he couldn’t risk wasting the opportunity to assert his dominance and ensured the show’s main storyline centered around himself. Throughout season 4, Gary had an odd boatmance with Mads that rubbed many viewers the wrong way.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.

They had an instant connection with each other and began hooking up at the beginning of the charter season. Despite their chemistry, Mads made it clear that she didn’t want a romantic relationship with the First Officer. When Gary realized she didn’t want to be his girlfriend, he blamed her and said she led him on. He got incredibly angry with her during one moment when Alex Propson said she was on her period. Gary attempted to confront Mads in front of Lucy Edmunds after he chatted with Alex and told her it was her obligation and “ common decency ” to tell him if she was having her period when he “ went down ” on her. He should have had that conversation with Mads privately but chose to embarrass her in front of other crew members because of his personal feelings.

5 Gary Doesn't Come Off As Genuine

There’s something off about his presence on the show.

There’s something about Gary that doesn’t come off as genuine. He’s portrayed as a happy-go-lucky womaneater on Below Deck , though he’s had some rough moments on the series as well. He notably gets upset on deck quite often and has been known to demean his crew. Overall, Gary’s lack of self-awareness makes him appear incredibly disingenuous.

After the sexual misconduct allegations came out, he doubled down on his actions and defended himself. Instead of defending himself, though, Gary should recognize that he hasn’t acted perfectly in the past and has shown signs of bad behavior which have led viewers to believe the allegations against him. If he showed some compassion — on and off Below Deck Sailing Yacht — it would be harder to believe he was a producer plant.

4 Gary Is The Most Talked About Cast Member

Gary has been all the talk since he was accused of sexual misconduct.

There’s no doubt Gary has emerged as the most talked about cast member from the Below Deck franchise in the past few years. Reality TV unfortunately rewards bad behavior a lot, and he’s been brought back to the show season after season because he is a controversial crew member . Even though he stirred up a lot of conflict in season 4, he was invited back for the show’s fifth season.

Gary was seemingly filming for season 5 before the accusations came out, resulting in him still being a part of the crew. However, the Rolling Stone article included a statement from Bravo and Below Deck ’s production company, 51 Minds Entertainment, proving they were made aware that the allegations were going to be publicized. The filming period for season 5 is unknown, but it's assumed Gary had finished filming the series before the article was published in August 2023.

3 Gary Likes To Stir The Pot Between Cast Members

He loves to create conflict.

Gary stirred the pot to no length in his love triangle with Daisy and Colin during season 4. There was no reason for him to break the Chief Stew’s trust and reveal they had been intimate other than to cause drama with the chief engineer. Gary’s jealousy overcame him, and he created a rough dynamic among the crew by admitting he had feelings for Daisy . He went as far as to claim she wanted him and was using Colin to get his attention. Putting his relations with Daisy aside, it wasn’t right for him to bring that information up to embarrass Colin. He was friends with everyone involved but didn’t care about their feelings when he brought that information to the cameras.

2 Gary Knows His Romantic Endeavors Are Of Interest For Viewers

He gives the viewers (and producers) what they want.

Since he joined the Below Deck universe, Gary was labeled the “Playboy” archetype. It was astonishing for him to hook up with his co-workers when he had a girlfriend in season 2. Gary enjoys attention from women and hasn’t been known to turn anyone down on the show. He invites the controversy that comes along with being the Playboy on his boats. Gary knew the viewers would be interested in his off-camera relationship with Daisy, which is likely why he brought it up on the show. He will stop at no cost to produce a shocking reality TV moment, which is another reason why he’s been a part of the Below Deck Sailing Yacht cast since season 2. Without him, the show would have had less drama over the years, which is likely in the franchise’s best interest.

1 Gary Seems Like A Different Person Off-Screen

Viewers may not know the “real gary”.

Whether Gary is a producer plant or not, he’s certainly formed a good relationship with the show. Every reality TV personality plays up for the cameras, though the First Officer takes his persona to the next level. Gary knows he’s the Playboy of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , and he plays that part to the best of his ability each season.

Viewers will likely never know what type of person he is off the show, but there’s a chance his behavior is much different off-screen than on-screen. With the news of the allegations and backlash surrounding his casting, Gary should retire from reality TV and focus on his life away from the Below Deck cameras. It would be refreshing to see a new First Officer step into his shoes and breathe new life into the spin-off.

After years of being on Below Deck Sailing Yacht , Gary could be a producer plant. His actions over the years have raised red flags with viewers and made some question his behavior. Gary will make his return to TV with season 5, though it certainly could be his last with the franchise.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht premieres Monday, October 7 at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo.
