Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 6 Could Be A Success (The Show Should Make These Changes If It Continues)

20 best reality tv shows right now, below deck sailing yacht producers should have edited gary king out (he's ruining the show).

Captain Glenn Shephard, who leads the cast of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , has tarnished his reputation due to a series of questionable decisions. His damaged reputation could pave the way for a new captain in future seasons. As season 5 of the show airs, Captain Glenn--who has spent over two decades in the yachting industry--returns alongside First Officer Gary King and Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher.

Gary returns for his fourth season of the Below Deck spin-off, known for his lack of responsibility and womanizing ways . Not only does Gary approach his deck crew in ways that many think to be harsh, but he has also been the subject of a sexual misconduct allegation dating back to the summer of 2022. A Below Deck makeup artist accused Gary of inappropriate behavior, adding to his already controversial reputation. These issues have reflected poorly on Gary and Captain Glenn , who has continuously overlooked the First Officer's behavior.

The age gap in his relationship has drawn backlash.

Captain Glenn has been in a relationship for almost six years. Despite their foundation, many viewers still cannot get over how much older he is than his girlfriend, Danelis “Dani” Jimenez . The leader of Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 is in his 60s, while Dani is 43. On her birthday in 2023, Glenn took to Instagram to fire back at all the naysayers.

“I knew this apparent age difference would be an issue for some, but my feeling is when you find someone who you click with that is perfect in every other way, when it comes to love and happiness, I can think of no other best time to throw caution to the wind,” Captain Glenn shared about his partner. “Like I always say, life is short and you only die once and when you do, you stay that way for a very long time.”

Captain Glenn concluded his post by telling everyone to keep their thoughts to themselves. He insisted their love is solid despite the large age gap. Still, some viewers continue to comment on his posts, saying Dani looks young enough to be his daughter , which isn't great for his reputation.

Their friendship is a threat to captain glenn's likability.

Despite everyone else seeing his problematic behavior, Captain Glenn is good friends with Gary. The pair not only spend time together during work hours but also hang out outside of work, with Gary giving his boss the nickname " Glenjamin ." Their friendship has never been a secret, which isn't a good look for the Captain, who continues to turn a blind eye to all of Gary's indiscretions. He even publicly supported Gary on social media amid the sexual misconduct allegations, raising even more eyebrows.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 has been tough to watch thus far, but Below Deck Sailing Yacht season6 could be a success with some big changes.

A lot of fans still view Captain Glenn as a sweet 63-year-old man, but his reputation is suffering because of his friendship with Gary. If he wants to continue being the face of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , he needs to pay more attention to all of the backlash Gary is getting. Captain Glenn needs to keep that in mind when it comes to their buddy-buddy relationship.

His presence has become quite predictable.

In addition to Captain Glenn's questionable decisions involving some of the crew, it seems there's not much more he can give as the leader of Below Deck Sailing Yacht . Nobody wants to watch a predictable character , especially in reality TV, and viewers already know exactly what they're going to get from Captain Glenn in each episode. The other Below Deck captains have become fan favorites because of their over-the-top personalities, such as Captain Jason Chambers and Captain Sandy Yawn.

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.

Captain Glenn is a lot more laid-back and likes to let his crew do their own thing, which has led to several blunders throughout the series. A more versatile captain joining the show would be a huge benefit to not only viewers but the crew themselves. His laid-back leadership has caused a lot of issues, and beyond that, his presence on the show has become stale. While Below Deck Sailing Yacht could benefit from a fresh captain, there are no signs that will happen any time soon.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo.

Here’s Where All the Sanctioned Russians Superyachts Stand Today

One just recently came off the sanctions list and straight onto the charter market for $3.2 million per week. Others have been confiscated. Still others are hiding in plain sight in Dubai and Turkey. How the many legal battles get resolved remains unclear.

Superyacht Amadea Confiscated Russian Superyacht

At least 20 vessels have been seized or detained following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Nine superyachts have been sanctioned by the U.S. Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC). Among the highest-profile yachts affected are Sailing Yacht A owned by Russian businessman Andrey Melnichenko, and Dilbar , the world’s largest yacht by gross tonnage.

Sailing Yacht A remains under arrest in Trieste, while the $600 million Dilbar , which was undergoing maintenance works at Lürssen when it was placed under export control sanctions, is being held in a floating dock at the builder’s Hamburg facilities.

“We’re seeing activity in Turkey and the UAE since [the Russian-owned yachts] are all concentrated there,” says a CEO of a European shipyard who asking not to be named. “We’ve heard of Russians buying used yachts in Turkey and building new boats there. We’ve even heard of them going to China for a new build, thanks to the relationship between Russia and China.”

Brokers based in the U.S., the U.K., and the EU are strongly advised, and in many cases prohibited, from working with Russians. Some brokers have chosen to relocate to countries like Dubai as a workaround.

“The few people I see operating with non-sanctioned Russians and managing Russian yachts are simply pro-business,” says a British sales broker who requested to remain anonymous.

Superyacht Amadea Confiscated Russian Yacht

Some North American charter clients now request a statement to confirm there is no Russian nexus involved on a yacht. Sales brokers routinely check if there’s a Russian connection with a potential sale. “It’s not due to anti-Russian bias, but to reassure their client there won’t be any red-tape hurdles,” says the broker. “We can’t adopt a Cold War mentality where we don’t like Russians because that’s not the case.”

Any yacht that is open to asset seizure is also open to liquidation. Following a failed attempt by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt in 2023 to acquire Alfa Nero at auction , the 266-foot Oceanco was privately sold by the Antigua & Barbuda Port Authority in July 2024 for $40 million ($80 million less than Andrey Guryev is presumed to have paid in 2014).

“Not only is the premise of each detention questionable, but so is any subsequent acquisition by a third party,” says Leonida. “The Government of Antigua & Barbuda has indemnified the buyer of Alfa Nero for any future losses or third-party claims connected with the sale, thus making the legality of the sale uncertain. This is a long way from a clean legal opinion that would hold the sale as being unimpeachable.”

Amadea , which was detained in Fiji by U.S. authorities, was ruled “too costly” for the government to maintain by the Fijian Supreme Court. Now docked in San Diego, the U.S. government pays more than $10 million a year for its upkeep. There is certainly an appetite to purchase a sanctioned yacht at a reduced price, but buyers are put off by the inevitable media scrutiny, and the risk of being exposed to expensive post-war legal fights.

“Most yachts are owned by companies, not individuals, and the legal ownership may not be directly linked to the [Russian] individuals involved,” says Leonida. “Sanctions are not a valid reason to pierce the corporate veil unless, for example, the company is being used to evade sanctions, which is not the declared case with these yachts.”

Shipyards that had Russian yachts in build when the sanctions hit have also been directly impacted. Damen Shipyards initiated a lawsuit against the Dutch government in 2023 in a bid to reclaim costs incurred from the cancellation of delivery contracts for “several superyachts.”

For most sanctioned yachts, the future remains unclear. “One of the hardest issues within brokerage is that a lot of classification societies don’t want Russian business,” says the broker. “If the boat can’t get into class, it can’t be chartered, and if it can’t go onto the flag state that you want or be insured through the London market, then it starts to become more complicated.”

“The policy makers have left these superyachts in limbo,” adds Leonida. “A dangerous corporate law precedent has been set, which the courts will be asked to put right at some point in the future.”

When that is, exactly, is the big unknown.
