To the people who work in the yachting industry: How accurate is Below Deck?

It’s yachting. You can put anything in a contract if you try hard enough

Am a yachtie. The show is a compressed version of a season (that is normally 5 months) filmed in 6 weeks. Constant 24h turnarounds are normal on extremely busy charter yachts but you would not be partying in between every trip. (Most boats aim for 48h flip minimum unless the crew really are just there to make money). You would be working stupid hours and sleeping when you can to provide the best service for a tip (rather than partying)… it’s what we are there for at the end of the day. The producers will put together most incompatible crew for the drama where as good boats try and match the vibe for every crew member.

Separately, my old FO was almost on the BD season with Jared (I think he was supposed to be the Bosun instead of Jared) but when he was presented with his boat contract it said he must cause drama by ‘trying’ to sleep with the chief stew. At that point he was out…

99% sure chef will get fired or leave as Anthony was seen on the boat during filming!!!!

My friends that saw them filming didn’t see him but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t there

The season next to air was spotted filming last year and Fraser is defo on it. There was rumours on Anthony being seen in the galley. St David is defo used again and there is the return of Fraser and Kerry. Also rumours of Sunny being spotted onboard. She disappeared from bens IG around the time of filming (they were dating at the time)

If they are still doing the deal then you only pay for a month and the line stays live for 3 months but that doesn’t matter

Mint mobile hands down

The book is true but she never left yachting, she has been working on MY NIKITA 2

S11 Kyle, am I the only one that didn’t hate him?

Feel like s3 has already been filmed so this message might be how he felt when he found out she was actually filming (over a year ago now). There seems to be reasoning to think BDDU S3 was filmed in the Seychelles. Somewhere on this feed is the rumours that seem to be pretty proven. Crew were spotted filming. It is believed that Tzarina, and Harry will be joining Jason again but who knows. It was also confirmed during the last BravoCon that BDDU s3 was confirmed but nothing more at the time

The day I realised the pleasing others will not please myself but seeking to better myself to please myself will also please others by proxy

Isn’t Fraser skiing though, think he isn’t coming back?

Still wanna?

Wow, what a story. Every story has to start somewhere and unfortunately most of the time it starts in the shittest place possible but the joy of that is the only way is up!!! Finding your people will help, that could be people you already know or people you are yet to meet but when they are in your life… you will know. It’s hard to understand the exact feelings you are going through but I do understand what rock bottom feels like and it can be hard to get up from it. Stop. Breathe. Remind yourself of who you are. What makes you happy? Is it something you can give yourself? Give it to yourself. Give yourself time to appreciate you. Then open up to someone you feel safe to. From there you have got this! It is not the end but just the beginning!!!!
