I have a buddy who has a skippers license and is in and out of the charter business, doing mostly 100 ft boats that are doing weekend charters out of San Diego or Long Beach, maybe to Catalina. Does a lot of boat parade/party type stuff. He prefers doing big fishing charters on fancy sport fisherman boats. Or transport business where an owner wants a boat moved from San Diego to Miami and he’ll work that detail as they eat great and stay in the suites.

He says now that he’s in his 40’s he can’t live that life anymore. He’s done yachting in the Caribbean, Cali, Mexico, and Hawaii and he says it can be really wild like the show as the girls are hot and wild. But the difference he says is that there’s little drama and that everyone is a pro at their job.

    We don’t watch much reality TV, but I always thought Below Deck would be up our alley if we did watch reality TV. We like boats, beaches, the Mediterranean, and the Caribbean. Last year we went to Co

  • Hi Kate

  • I'm glad I found this thread. I thought I should be ashamed for watching it....good to know there is a support group.

It's a permanent part of the Below Deck script now. Hire someone completely incompetent at a position so you can fire someone in the first few episodes.

This.  Bosun is gone within 3 episodes I'm betting.  Convenient Ben is just sitting there waiting to slide into his position.

Yeah, they set that up.  They do it most every season now where someone is hired just so they can be fired.  Not even trying to pretend it's real anymore.

Edited by kevwun

Saw somewhere the captain alluded to a record amount of firings this season which makes complete sense since 75% of them could go now

Anxiety Attack Bosun and They Talkin' Shit 'Bout Me Stew should be packing their bags already.

I hate these undeposited skippers. “I believe in this crew!” Fuck that. You know your bosun is a complete moron.

Sunny would get all the inches I can muster 

She is the only female on the boat that I find interesting.

Yeah he’s crumbling fast.

My understanding is it's becoming harder and harder to find experienced yacht crew who want to be on the show, so they have to hire people with little to no experience. 

They pay absolute shit, according to Eddie. 

And normal people don't want to look like assholes on tv.  Most people don't want their drunken hookups viewed by their friends and family.

Don't they get a 1500-2000 dollar tip every 4-6 days?

Yeah, but they spend that on alcohol every 4-6 days.

But that's basically it, while they are printing cash for Andy Cohen.

 and exposure which if parlayed correct can lead to a lot of money, just like all the other reality stars. That's why these crew members agree to be on this show, to become influencers/reality stars

Or OF participants 

Damn, googled it.  Bravo evidently gives them 5-6k a month only for being on the show.  The camera crew probably makes more than the cast but of course they don’t get tips.  Definitely the cheapest Bravo show they make I’d bet.

i still like BDSY, but the rest? yes.

they should have kept the name and moved it elsewhere with the new captain and co

It’s all the same show each season. They used to have mostly new crew with just Lee, Kate, and the Brit chef guy as constants. Now it’s all interior drama, charters are just background, and drunken dinners and fucking in the hot tub.

Only thing that was worse than her behavior was her accent 

Couldn’t stand that lady.  Was kinda wishing she Natalie Wooded off the boat..

She’s a bitter woman who can’t handle the fact she was fired from The Real Housewives of NY. My wife was into this show in the late 2000s and I am ashamed of how much I know about her because of all the hours I had to sit through the housewives show in order to get laid. She was terrible then and she’s still terrible now. 

Feel bad for the dude, but he was a disaster as a yacht chef. Just a really polite disaster

He was delusional and a rotten chef. Lots of good cooks but he was a train wreck in the other tasks: no organization, indifferent to clients wants, awful menu planning and planning. And then he’s shocked anyone actually thinks his performance is lacking. Fried chicken Caesar progressing to grilled chicken then to a chocolate molten cake. It was like a meal at Applebee’s.

Dyslexia and yachts do not mix well no matter what department. Lots of pressure with very little room for error. He'll do fine working in a restaurant. He's far from the worst chef I've seen on BD. Remember Leon?
