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 returns for second season with 54m 'Parsifal III'

• Share this on Facebook
• Share this on X

By Katie Scott   25 January 2021

Premiering on 1 March 2021, season two of Below Deck Sailing Yacht follows ' Parsifal III ' and her crew as she cruises along the iconic coast of Croatia.

Making its return after a successful inaugural season traveling around the Greek Island of Corfu , viewers will get to witness the beautiful Croatian coast that spans 3,600 miles and features 718 islands.

As a spin-off from the popular series Below Deck, Below Deck Sailing Yacht follows the lives of the crew on board a luxury charter yacht as they embark on an eight-week charter season.

Yacht owner Vibe-Petersen was originally approached about the show in 2018 when it appeared the 54m (177ft) Perini Navi sailing yacht was the perfect match for the proposed spin-off to the popular sister show Below Deck. 

Hitting the waters for the first time in 2005, 'Parsifal III' has enjoyed multiple award wins in her time, winning Best Interior Design and Sailing Yacht Of The Year at the World Yacht Trophies in 2006.

When asked about changing the name of the yacht for the show, Vibe-Petersen stood his ground saying 'it's free advertising'. He continued by saying 'the name of the yacht will come to people’s minds, especially to someone who has never chartered a yacht before. They will see that name and know the boat from the show.' 

New faces of season two

Familiar face Captain Glenn Shephard returns to the helm for season two, but with a brand new crew joining him.

Saying he's 'looking forward to a great season', Shephard is going to be joined by chef Natasha De Bourg, chief stew Daisy Kelliher, chief engineer Colin Macrae, first mate Gary King, second stew Dani Soares, third stew Alli Dore, deckhand Sydney Zaruba, and deckhand Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux.

Suggesting a few fireworks not necessarily in the sky, Bravo indicate an exciting season where social distancing means the crew spend a lot more time in close proximity together. 

A quick preview of the season trailer also reveals that Captain Glenn Shephard is seen at his angriest so far. Viewers will find out what triggers the fury when the season goes live in March.

Onboard Parsifal III

Striking to say the least, the latest addition to Below Deck yachts Parsifal III launched as one of the fastest Perini Navi models of her time and won multiple awards.

Boasting a maximum speed of 18 knots, she underwent a refit in 2012 and showcases timeless interiors by designer Remi Tessier.

Featuring an aluminium hull and superstructure, she is a fast and lightweight sailing yacht with accommodation for up to 14 guests in a six-cabin layout. Cabins on board comprise of an Owner's cabin, three doubles and two twins, plus berths for up to nine crew.

Some of her key features include an on-deck Jacuzzi, spacious sun pads and an exterior wet bar.

Sailing Croatia

Tucked away as a hidden gem behind Italy, Croatia is a Mediterranean destination with boundless amounts of history, culture and beauty on offer.

Featuring hundreds of unspoilt islands in the Adriatic, it's easy to find your own piece of paradise for the day while enjoying the charter experience. Island hopping along the Dalmation Coast there's UNESCO sites to see at Dubrovnik and plenty of familiar backdrops from the popular TV show Game Of Thrones.

About PARSIFAL III

View all yachts for charter

As a charter guest you could begin your day with a sunrise yoga session on the large foredeck or have an early morning swim in the ocean before taking breakfast on the main deck aft. Here a large curved sofa and loose seating surround an oval dining table shaded by the overhang of the flybridge deck. After breakfast, some of the guests may choose to relax in the many lounging areas while others might want to take advantage of the calm waters and jump in to learn a new watersport. An extensive toybox has something for all ages to enjoy. However you choose to spend the morning, coming together for an al fresco lunch, perhaps prepared on the Teppanyaki grill, is the perfect opportunity to regroup and catch up with your friends and family.

Numerous entertainment options will keep the entire family entertained throughout the afternoon. Relax in the jacuzzi or on the sumptuous sunloungers, or enjoy some relaxation time in the main lounge, perhaps with a movie, all while PARSIFAL III sails on to your next port of call; if the winds are in your favour you could even be moving along under full sail at exhilarating speeds of up to 18 knots.

With the sun setting on the horizon, enjoy more time on deck taking in the view with a cocktail, followed by dinner either in the formal dining room or al fresco on the main deck aft. When it’s time to retire, PARSIFAL III's vast master suite is located aft and benefits from direct access to an extra-large swimming platform – perfect for a private early morning swim. Amidship there are two further doubles and two twins with additional pullman berths. As with all of the interior guest areas, the décor is streamlined and minimalistic, with polished dark ebony and wenge woods contrasting with fine furnishings of cream leather, glass and stainless steel. A stunning retreat, your guests will feel cosseted in luxury as they fall into a deep slumber ready for another day of fun.

Here’s What the Cast of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Is Currently Up to Now

Are Jenna and Adam still together?

After the massive success of Below Deck and its spinoff Below Deck Med , Bravo decided to test the waters on a new iteration of its hit series earlier this year. That's where Below Deck: Sailing Yacht came in, taking place on a luxury sailing boat, the Parsifal III, adrift in the Ionian Sea.

From a spontaneous proposal failing spectacularly to a joke about being breastfed as an adult, Sailing Yacht was as much a dramatic success as the other franchises. It also left fans wondering about what's happening to the crew since the show wrapped. Did chief stew Jenna and chef Adam stay together? What's going on with Georgia's music? And most important—is Captain Glenn really as cool as we think he is?

Here's what the cast of Below Deck: Sailing Yacht is up to now:

Jenna MacGillivray

When the Canadian stepped onto the Parsifal III, fans got exactly what they hoped for in a chief stew—a no-nonsense leader who also had a romantic spot in her heart for the chef in the galley. Though her relationship with Adam Glick proved to be tumultuous, the two dated for some time after the season wrapped, even taking some time to road-trip together.

These days, Jenna is enjoying some time off from yachting, but given her recent IG pics, she's excited to come back to another charter season.

Madison Stalker

Wherever Madison went, drama always seemed to follow the second stew during season one of Below Deck: Sailing Yacht . In between epic meltdowns (including a major one between her and Jenna over her lack of enthusiasm for her job), she left the boat a better person and leaving fans ready to see more from their new favorite cast member.

Judging by her Instagram account, she's taken a break from yachting (perhaps until next season of the show).

Georgia Grobler

As good of a third stew Georgia was on deck, fans were more invested in her budding music career and growing feelings for a very taken Paget. She proved she was great at her job and could make a career out of yachting.

While it's unclear whether she stayed in the yachting industry post- Sailing Yacht , Georgia's working on music, premiering new music videos on IGTV during the quarantine.

Below Deck Med fans were so excited when Adam joined the crew as the chef for Sailing Yacht . While he abided by the preference sheets this time around, he also began a rocky romance with chief stew Jenna, making most of the crew members wonder if he was there for his job or the girl.

Since the show wrapped, Adam's busy onshore, cooking, and traveling with his adorable puppy. Oh, and Adam has a web series, Stoked , where he travels across the country to meet with local chefs and learn about their regions... all while over a campfire.

Paget Berry and Ciara Duggan

If there was any couple to root for from the entire Below Deck franchise, it's Paget and Ciara. The duo made a great team on deck, and mostly kept their relationship to a minimum on cameras—a first for Bravo! As they were the most familiar with the Parsifal III, the couple was the most reliable, and fans loved seeing their relationship continue blossoming post-filming.

These days, the couple has a lot to be excited about—they're now engaged. While they're soaking up their romantic bliss, they're also still working in yachting, although it's sadly on separate boats.

Byron Hissey

As the chief engineer of Parsifal III, Byron was clearly there to just do his job. But, given how he was the only cast member to have a wife and child back home, he also became the dad of the group, taking care of the other crew members.

Since filming wrapped, it looks like Byron is back on a boat doing exactly what he does best—fixing and making sure the engines run smoothly.

Parker McCown

Relatively new to the yachting industry, fans are more likely to remember the deckhand for his enraged rant about being breastfed by his mother. While he didn't necessarily have all the skills to make it as a deckhand, he definitely had a soft spot for his ex-girlfriend Kaiti, whom he eventually left Parsifal III to go back to at home.

It looks like the decision to leave the show worked out for Parker, as he's now engaged to Kaiti and writing some tunes while onshore.

Chris Miller

As Parker's replacement for the latter half of the season, Chris proved a great deckhand and an asset to the team, all while battling an injury.

These days, Chris seems to be taking some time off from yachting to travel across Europe.

Captain Glenn Sheppard

Captain Glenn was tough, fair, and not afraid to have a good time, which both crew and guests very much appreciated.

Thankfully, his reality TV experience hasn't turned him off yachting forever. Glenn is still the captain for Parsifal III and traveling through the Mediterranean.

On board with Parsifal III owner Kim Vibe-Petersen

The owner of 54 metre superyacht Parsifal III – a star cast member of hit TV show Below Deck – tells David Edwards the origin story of his innovative sailing yacht...

Kim Vibe-Petersen likes to call his pride and joy, the 54 metre sailing yacht Parsifal III , a “game-changer”. He likes to call the TopBrewer coffee maker he designed and manufactures a game-changer as well. But coming from him this is no lazy cliché. The Dane, with almost perfect English, chooses his words carefully and changing the game is simply what he does. In fact it completely defines him.

For if you ask the 65-year-old CEO of coffee firm Scanomat how he would describe himself, he replies without hesitation: “I’m an inventor.” Although he quickly corrects himself: “I’m as much a businessman as I am an inventor. When you run a small business, like we did in the beginning, you have to be able to do everything.” That may be true but you don’t need to spend long in his company to see that, at heart, he’s an ideas man, a restless bundle of thoughts and ambitions, many of which he’s been able to realise.

Even a conventional education wasn’t for him – “I didn’t fit in to the school system. I got pretty bored, I couldn’t enjoy myself going that slow” – and he couldn’t wait to leave and join his parents’ vending machine business, in which he’d already been working since the age of 14.

He set about transforming this simple firm. “I started my own business within their business. We were importers of machines from abroad. I started to invent products. I invented the first fully automatic cappuccino machine in the world. It went from zero to 95 per cent of the business within two years.”

Vibe-Petersen was off and running, doing everything, as he says. But the business would have been nothing without the product, the invention. Where does that creative spark come from? He doesn’t know. Not from his father, a salesman who clearly passed on the business sense. “I’m only interested in doing something that no one else has done,” he explains. “I’ve always wanted to do things differently. I’m interested in new things, in developing this world and hopefully doing things better and more easily than they were done before.”

That approach goes a long way to explaining Parsifal III and how that remarkable yacht came about. Kim and his wife Nina had owned and chartered out two Parsifals : the 34 metre Valdettaro now called Unplugged and her sister ship now known as Ree . But the inventor in him wanted to do something new. “ Parsifal III was a game-changer in the sailing yacht industry,” says the game-changer. “We were one of the first to use (designer) Rémi Tessier and we did the complete boat with him. That made his business grow.”

Boat interiors at the time (2004) were, in Vibe-Petersen’s words, like 16th century castles or English pubs. Even though they own a 300-year-old house five minutes’ drive from Scanomat’s HQ in Kokkedal, north of Copenhagen, he and Nina didn’t want that tired, traditional style. “All the other boats had a lot of small rooms, which I couldn’t see any use for. We made Parsifal III open, so you could see 360 degrees around from the main saloon. There was no special dining room, or special pantry, or anything that disturbs your sight. I wanted it to be one big thing. That was new. Also, we wanted the outside to correspond to the inside of the boat, with a very modern look.”

It was a meeting of minds between owner and designer. “Me and Rémi are very close, yes. When I visited him in Lyons for the first time, his showroom was full of Danish furniture. There was Poul Kjærholm and Arne Jacobsen and all these famous Danish designers. He was in love with Danish design. But he was very talented because he understood what we wanted to do, so in combination with me and Nina, we developed the curved, round design. Minimalism was the key word and luxury was the next. We liked the luxury, with the chrome and so forth, but we liked it in a lower-key way.”

Charter customers and awards judges liked it, too. Long before the boat emerged from Perini Navi’s yard, one client booked it for 17 straight weeks. “From 2006 to 2009 we didn’t use the boat ourselves because it was totally chartered out: 25 weeks a year, which is unheard of,” says Vibe-Petersen. “We could have got five times the amount of bookings for it.” Among the five awards Parsifal III won in 2006 was Sailing Superyacht of the Year at the Boat International   World Superyacht Awards .

“We inspired the whole industry,” says Vibe-Petersen proudly. That same pride is evident when he asks, as I arrive, if I’d like a cup of coffee. We are in the light and airy foyer of the Scanomat building in Kokkedal, north of Copenhagen, with several glass-topped plinths around us.

He takes a glass from one and places it below a stainless steel tap. Next to the tap is an iPad, with the TopBrewer app open on its screen. He asks what coffee I’d like; how strong and how much milk. I could have specified the tamper pressure I’d like applied to the coffee that is being ground behind the counter. He slides a few gauges and taps a button and 25 seconds later I have my espresso. And it’s really good.

“You get a lot of lousy coffee around the world,” Vibe-Petersen says. “You have to give quality coffee every time and that’s why people have to use our coffee with our machines, so we make sure they don’t put bad coffee in them.” Again, as he talks, the inventor in him is so apparent and so appealing. He is completely immersed in this product, and is responsible for every element, particularly the machine itself hidden under the counter. If, as he says, he wants to do things better and more easily than they were done before, then TopBrewer is a roaring success.

Just like with Parsifal III , customers and judges are agreeing. Apple has installed TopBrewers in its Caffé Macs employee cafeteria in Cupertino; Bloomberg has done the same, as has Level39 in London. McDonald’s is testing a bespoke TopBrewer system that will cut the time it takes to serve coffee by two-thirds. Beyoncé and Jay-Z have one, Steven Spielberg has one. “TopBrewer is getting very big. It’s very trendy to use our product,” says the proud inventor.

The original TopBrewer, costing from £5,000, was launched in 2012, but a new model will be able to make iced drinks thanks to a second, adjacent swan-neck tap, as well as deliver whipped cream for hot chocolate and provide all kinds of soft drinks.

But the really clever part of the product is revealed in the TopBrewer Café in Copenhagen, which I visit on my way home. There, via my phone I can order and pay for my very own customised coffee. Malou, who works there giving demonstrations to intrigued customers, says people are rapidly getting used to it. “We can change people’s coffee habit,” says Vibe-Petersen. “If you want to compete with Starbucks, which everyone wants to do, then you have to come up with a game-changer like ours, to do that kind of quality of coffee. This is about the best you can get.

“And can you imagine what kind of potential that has on a worldwide scale? You don’t have to have staff. At the airport you don’t want to wait in a queue. If you are in Hong Kong, Singapore, London or Copenhagen, you can always get the same coffee, your favourite. The one you love.”

Clearly for Vibe-Petersen, it is not just about the invention itself. Its application and the joy and benefits it brings to people complete the process. In this, making a coffee machine is the same as chartering out a boat: done well, they both bring great pleasure.

Business and life for the Vibe-Petersens is a family affair. Their sons Sebastian and Frederik work for the company: Frederik is involved in the IT department, and worked on TopBrewer’s integration with the app; Sebastian, like his father, is more technical and product-focused. Nina, 10 years Kim’s junior, is a central figure in their charter business.

“It was always the whole family who created the atmosphere of our businesses,” says Vibe-Petersen. “One thing is that the boat looks nice, the interior looks nice. But you have to have a good crew and you have to train them how to operate; how to take care of the people and make them feel good. “All my family are very service-minded, they all have that service gene. This is so important in the charter business. You have to understand what you like yourself and whether other people will like the same thing. If they don’t, you have to find out quickly what they do like.”

Vibe-Petersen’s formula for what charter customers like – and his record indicates that it’s a winning one – is to gently encourage them to try new activities. “Make them active, make them do things they didn’t know they would like to do. Get them out on a Hobie, a top jet ski , a Laser, get them out on a paddleboard, on a kayak. Try to convince them to try other things that they wouldn’t normally do. Then they are so happy for themselves if they take a step into a new world they maybe were afraid of. There’s a lot of teaching that the crew can do: talk to people, swim with them...

“People like to be pushed a little bit. But don’t push them too much! When it works you get a big reward for it. These people are so happy and they want to come back; [the company] gave me a good holiday. That’s basically what we’re selling. On top of that, you always have to have the best chef. You can repair a lot with good food!”

Vibe-Petersen’s 60 plus years have taught him many things but there are two principles that he believes are central to who he is and what he has done – and may still do. “You have to be prepared to make mistakes. If you do not make mistakes you do not invent. And it’s important that you get bored. When you are bored your brain works behind the scenes. When you are busy and stressed and on your phone too much and on the internet too much you do not develop many things. I love it when I’m bored and can just walk around, that’s when I create ideas.”

At his age many people’s thoughts turn towards home and the garden but Vibe-Petersen says he could never retire. “I work 24/7. I do not have weekends like others. I relax, I have fun and we go to parties and this and that, but in my mind I always work. And that’s not a problem for me.” That’s how you change the game.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4: who's who in the new season

Meet the familiar and new faces aboard the Parsifal III this season.

It's time to set sail once again with Captain Glenn and the crew of the Parsifal III. Below Deck Sailing Yacht is back for season 4, setting sail from the stunning coves and marinas as Sardinia, Italy. 

There are plenty of familiar faces, including Captain Glenn, Daisy Kelliher, Gary King and Colin Macrae. The rest of the crew is made up of newcomers to the show and the franchise, and time will only tell whether they have what it takes to sail the seas aboard the Parsifal III.

Thanks to Bravo, we have biographies for the returning and new members of Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4. 

Captain Glenn Shephard

Captain Glenn returns for his fourth season on Below Deck Sailing Yacht . 

"Originally from Montreal, Capt. Glenn’s life has always been dictated by the need to see the world. Early on in his travels, he was invited onboard a 50-foot classic sailboat to work as a deckhand and was immediately hooked and has never looked back. With over 22 years in the industry and 13 years as the Captain on Parsifal III, Glenn has hosted hundreds of high-end guests over many busy charter seasons. Glenn knows how to keep his cool while catering to the uber elite. This laid-back Captain is calm until his limits are pushed. Don’t mess with Capt. Glenn!"

Daisy Kelliher, Chief Stewardess

"Returning chief stew Daisy Kelliher is considered a yachting legacy. Her grandfather was an Olympic sailor for Ireland in 1964, and her parents – and many aunts and uncles – were yachties. Daisy has a lot to live up to when she returns to Parsifal III after a successful last two seasons and can always be counted on to give you a piece of her mind and let her hair down to have a good time."

Gary King, First Mate

"Having captained smaller boats and run the deck on several busy super yachts, Gary’s 13 years of experience is apparent in the way he runs his deck team. On one hand, he rules his department with an iron fist but on the other hand, he is never the type to leave a party first. He brims with mischievous charm but his flirtation gets him in hot water on and off deck."

Colin Macrae, Chief Engineer

Longtime sailor Colin MacRae worked as a Chief Engineer on super yachts for 15 years before joining Parsifal III for his third season. With a big heart and an impish smile, Colin is more than happy to lend a hand anywhere that he might be needed. However, when Colin’s kindness gets mistaken for weakness, fireworks fly.

Chef Ileisha Dell

Ched Ileisha Dell joins the Parsifal III for her first season. 

"With over 17 years of culinary experience, Chef Ileisha has been living her dream as a yacht chef since 2014, merging her passion of cooking, traveling the world and working and living on the water. Originally from a small beach town on the east coast of Australia, she worked her way into some of Sydney’s most prestigious kitchens as a pastry chef. Chef Ileisha has taken many leaps in her career, working as a prep chef for Matt Moran for his cooking show, working as a private chef for one of Sydney’s most famous households and accompanying another family on their yachts across the Mediterranean for two years. To stay in tune with her creativity, Chef Ileisha also loves photography, film, interior design, yoga and scouting for vintage glassware."

Mads Herrera, Stewardess

"Born and raised in South Florida, Mads spent much of her time in the water and on yachts, so it was only natural she ended up in the maritime industry. With two years of experience, Mads has worked on day charters and boat deliveries and is eager for the new challenges of working on a charter yacht. A true adventurer, Mads lives life in the fast line traveling the world, riding dirt bikes and sky diving."

Alex Propson, Deckhand

"Originally from Wisconsin, Alex got his jumpstart in yachting while networking in Los Angeles. He moved to South Florida and kept up his career as a deckhand since achieving his captain’s license. The career change was influenced by the pandemic after spending eight years in sales. You can always find Alex staying active whether practicing yoga, playing basketball or diving in top destinations around the world."

Chase Lemacks, Deckhand

"A southern gentleman from South Carolina, Chase knows how to turn on the charm for the demanding guests this season. Chase originally joined the world of yachting with the dream of one day sailing around the world running charters on a sailboat of his own. Having solely worked on large motor yachts since 2019, it was an exciting challenge and welcome change of pace to come on board a sailing vessel. When he’s not on deck, he loves to get his hands dirty backpacking, hunting and fixing up old homes."

Lucy Edmonds, Stewardess

"Originally from Wales, Lucy shines with a bubbly personality and enthusiasm that makes her the perfect fit for the interior team. After feeling stuck at university during the pandemic, Lucy, who has a wide breadth of experience in the hospitality world, set sail and joined the yachting industry. Before getting her start in the Mediterranean, she worked at high-end restaurants and became a club VIP manager at only 19 years old. When she’s not chartering across the globe, Lucy enjoys a more laid-back lifestyle of playing sports and watching rugby."

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 airs Mondays at 8 pm ET/PT on Bravo.

Checking In With All the Former Stars of Below Deck Sailing Yacht

As the crew of parsifal iii sails off into a new season of below deck sailing yacht , we're diving into the reality series' past and checking out what the show's former yachties are up to now..

Uncork the champagne, polish up the guest cabins and iron your polos because—after some potentially disastrous engine issues—Parsifal III has officially set sail in Sardinia, Italy. Sorta.

On board for another wild ride: Chief engineer  Colin Macrae , first mate Gary King , chief stew Daisy Kelliher and all of their post-kiss , will-they-or-won't-they energy . 

But even though Captain Glenn Shephard has brought the core gang back together for season four of Bravo's Below Deck Sailing Yacht , he did say ciao to some season three favorites like talented chef Marcos Spaziani and his ability to whip up Michelin-star worthy eats even when the yacht is at a full keel. 

And he's not the only crew member to have sailed off into the sunset, with nearly two dozen former deckhands and stews having left behind their polos (and a love for getting sloppy drunk on the flybridge) after just one season of working on the 177-foot vessel. 

Some took with them fond memories, season one chef Adam Glick 's website describing "one entire overly dramatic yachting season." Others, a lifetime of being that one person from that show someone loved (or loved to hate). 

As the series' pre-Daisy chief stew Jenna MacGillivray joked on Instagram, "I heard Below Deck Sailing is on Netflix. If you're new here, we go by the saying, if you can't say anything nice, ferme la bouche ."

So as we eagerly await the next charter guests that will have us tweeting and the shocking Daisy-Colin boatmance  that left Gary floored ("I'd be lying to you if I said I wasn't jealous," he admitted to E! News ), let's veer off course just a bit and check out what our favorite former yachties are up to now. 

After the first season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , the demanding chief stewardess left Parsifal III and her boatmance with chef Adam Glick behind. The Canada native has since returned to a former love—social work—and a new one: She and boyfriend Dave Cartmill announced their engagement in August 2022.  "It took me a long time to find true comfort and happiness with myself independent of anyone else," Jenna, who riffs on love, life and travel on her podcast Wild Loner , explained on Instagram. "I'm forever thankful I loved myself enough to stay alone long enough to wait for the best person I could have ever imagined for me." The two, who were set up by a mutual friend in 2021, will wed in August 2023. 

With two seasons of  Below Deck Mediterranean and season one of Sailing Yacht under his chef's apron, the New Mexico native set sail for new experiences—notably an adventure-based cooking show on OutsideTV. "Currently, Adam can still be found in front of the camera," his website reads. "However, now almost entirely cooking in adventurous outdoorsy settings, i.e. off a tailgate on a cliff, for a Toyota commercial." Those hoping to catch up with the Art Institute of California grad IRL can book a spot at one of his upcoming cooking demos or dinners in Colorado and Oregon. 

Though largely settled in Rhode Island, the season one first mate is still a wanderer, completing his fifth Atlantic Ocean crossing last May. Anchoring the U.K. native to the East Coast: Fiancée Johana Mills .  Having split with fellow Sailing Yacht crew member Ciara Duggan months after their 2020 engagement, "I was very lucky myself to meet a 'Harbor town girl' last year who showed me the sights and sounds of Newport when I first arrived on a boat," he explained in an August 2022 post . "For me it was pretty much love at first sight, it might have taken Jo a little while after that first date as I ate 70% of the food....There is no one I'd rather laugh, life with, cry, dance, and attempt all sorts of accents with than you Johana."

"Used to travel for work, now I travel for fun," the season one deckhand proclaims in her Instagram bio . Now back in her native Florida, the experienced first mate and stewardess has moved on from her longterm Paget romance with two new loves: "Mi amor"  Miguel ("Beyond grateful to have you in my life," she wrote on Instagram ) and her adopted pup Yuki. 

The South Africa native is still partying like a rockstar and drinking like a sailor, her Instagram offering glimpses of her #yachtlife as she rode a Peloton off the coast of the British Virgin Islands, sun bathed in the Bahamas and took body shots in Saint Martin. And the season one stew is continuing to test the waters in the music industry. Having released her debut album, The Same Mistakes , in 2020, she promised last November : "New music on its waaaaay."

While she disembarked from Parsifal III, the Michigan native didn't leave behind the lifestyle. The "professional chief stew, amateur cheese enthusiast," as she's dubbed herself in her Instagram profile, summarized her 2022 in a January post : "12 countries. 11 states. 3 continents. 1 ending of the year I will never forget. To everyone that has made this year magical, here's to the next." That list includes boyfriend Greg Liuzzo , whom she started dating after a romance with  Below Deck Mediterranean star Rob Westergaard .

Looks like the season two chef's gamble really paid off. "What people don't know is that I went on Below Deck as a bet with one of my friends," the Trinidad native admitted to Island Origins Magazine in November 2022. In the years since her showdowns with chief stew  Daisy Kelliher , she's continued to keep things fiery, appearing as a juror on the Jamaican television series Maggi Food Court , writing a memoir and launching her own series, Cooking With the Classy Chef .  And when she has downtime, no surprise, "I love traveling," she told Island Origins, "because it kind of opens up my thinking to see why people eat the way they eat."

No chance the Brazil native will forget her time as a stew on Parsifal III: After wrapping the boating season, Dani learned she was expecting a baby with deckhand  Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux . (Though Jean-Luc insisted on a paternity test , Dani was never in doubt, famously sharing on the season two reunion , "Well, 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, so…") Now living in Sydney where she works as a nursing student, Dani doesn't mention her former flame on her Instagram page, but happily posts about now-22-month-old Lilly . As she wrote in one April post , "One day someone walks in your life and you don't know how you ever lived without them."

Still living that yacht life, the North Carolina native uses his Instagram page to share glimpses of his travels in St. Barts, the Bahamas and Panama. Revealing in January 2022 that a DNA test had confirmed he was Lilly's father, he noted, "Dani and I have been working and communicating together to the best of our ability; given Dani is a full time mother and worker, and I being gone for extended periods of time not knowing when I will step back on land. This is imperative for the sake of our daughter as she needs both parents in her life." While his toddler has yet to grace his feed, he did highlight one special lady, writing of girlfriend Jennifer in March , "My parents always talked about that one person walking into your life and changing it for the better. I just never knew who the person was until now."

Though she technically left the Bravo series in her wake after season two, the stewardess continues to test the waters, often discussing new episodes on the Pita Party podcast she shares with Daisy and Dani, as well as on her and Daisy's  Beneath the Surface  series. Settled back in her native Australia, she also fills her feed with snapshots of " my little water baby ," son River that she welcomed with  Benny Thompson in August 2021. 

Leaving her position as second stew in the middle of season three did little to take the wind out of the San Diego native's sails. Post-show, she joined Below Deck alum  Wes O'Dell 's team as his first mate—and girlfriend. "He's working with me, and I couldn't appreciate it more," she shared  on the Gangplank Report podcast in April 2022. "He's super behind me getting my captain's license. He's teaching me everything he knows, and he's super knowledgeable about sailing." Currently based back in her California hometown , Gabriela is still offering Instagram followers a peek at her #yachtlife.

Having whipped up everything from molecular gastronomy dishes to a freaking wedding cake in Parsifal's tiny kitchen, the Venezuela-born chef left season three with a whole menu of options to choose from. In addition to running Marlou , a fusion spot with co-owner  Louis Hu in downtown Los Angeles and their soon-to-open Marlou Lounge, he revealed on the 2022 reunion that he has a contract with UCLA "cooking for 1,600 people per day. So, yeah, I'm pretty booked all the time." As he put it in a New Year's Day post , "Last years was one of biggest years of my life !!!"

Season three's delightfully low-key deckhand is still charting her own course, giving Instagram followers a look at the travels that have taken her everywhere from French Polynesia to Croatia. (A trip to Ibiza even saw her reunite with castmates Ashley Marti and Barnaby Birkbeck .) Currently stationed in the British Virgin Islands, she wrote in a March 27 post , "think I'll stay."

After a season spent flirting and fighting with first mate Gary King , the New York native decided to dive into a new adventure. Teasing the launch of her Only Fans page,  she wrote , "Come see a whole different side of me." Though she's currently based in Miami, after spending time in Southern California with pal Kelsie, she wrote on Instagram March 7 , "How long until Kels convinces me to move to San Diego…best weekend with the best people."

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.

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.

The Below Deck universe is one of the popular franchises on Bravo. Fans have been clamoring for the trailer for Below Deck Sailing Yacht following the major breakdown of Daisy Kelliher and Gary King ‘s short-lived romance last season. Now, it’s finally here, and the trailer teases everything viewers want — drama, romance, and breaking the rules with the guests.

As fans of Below Deck Sailing Yacht know, each season of the show takes place in a different location. Now in its fifth season, the show is set in Ibiza. Season four of the show was set in Italy. This new season comes after Gary was accused of sexual assault. 

The new season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht seems like a good time based on the trailer, which comes exclusively from E! News . As it begins, Daisy can be heard saying, “Going into this season, I got rid of some dead weight. The breakup did a number on me last year. I felt very broken. But now, I’m coming back in more focused, full of energy and I’m f–king good at my job. And I’m taking back the reigns.”

Of course, she is referencing her breakup with Gary. She then counters the previous statement by saying, “It’s gonna be a s–t show.”

The trailer then teases a bit of work-related drama as she says to Gary, “Guess what? We have a f–king job to do, and I’m not f–king carrying this season on my own, you f–king prick!”

Naturally, the season isn’t only about the failed romance between Daisy and Gary. The trailer also shows the crew getting a bit too friendly with the guests. Captain Glenn Shephard , who is clearly upset, can be seen reprimanding the crew after having too many drinks with the guests. 

He says, “You guys went out with some guests, I set some ground rules. Two drinks maximum. You knew the rules, you broke the f–king rules, and now you’re here getting upset.”

This season also welcomes some new faces. There’s Chef Cloyce Martin , Chief Engineer Davide Morosi , Stew Diana Cruz , Stew Danni Warren , and Emma Crouch as the deckhand. 

Fans can watch the premiere of season five of Below Deck Sailing Yacht on October 7.

At 177’ in length, 35’ wide, and with a large above deck superstructure and flybridge S/Y Parsifal III provides the most discernable guests with ample light, interior and exterior space as well as privacy.

NOTABLE FEATURES for PARSIFAL III: Pedigree design with sleek lines and excellent performance capabilities ~ Vast exterior living ~ Chic interior decor ~ Beautifully appointed guest staterooms ~ On deck jacuzzi ~ Assortment of water toys ~ Crows nest for 2 ~ Hydraulic swim platform ~ Wifi

Parsifal III’s lovely aluminum hull, carbon fiber rig, and in furling boom create a powerful sailing performance and an enjoyable sailing experience. Parsifal III is thought to be one of Perini Navi’s quickest sailing yachts built so far with her finned bulb keel. Her dark hull creates a sticking image against the brilliant white of her superstructure.

Luxury sailing yacht Parsifal III also has a striking and upbeat interior as designed by the world famous Remi Tessier. Her magnificent interior design is highlighted with the blending of dark ebony woodwork, light sycamore wood, stainless steel, and fine leathers. She features exquisite design and craftsmanship which creates an ultra-modern and stylish yet warm, inviting and relaxed feeling, as made possible with the intelligent use of natural and restful textures.

The large sailing yacht features a plunge pool, an array of sunning and excellent entertainment areas, a Japanese Teppanyaki style Barbeque, and modular type seating in her saloon. Parsifal III is one of the most sought after sailing yachts on the charter market due to not only her size and grace but also her vast array of practical features.

PARSIFAL III Specifications

Named after an Arthurian knight, Parsifal III is the result of a modern-day 6-year quest by two sailing veterans. Their Holy Grail was a luxurious super-yacht that epitomized the best design, was perfect in all aspects of its build and provided performance under sail that could rival any yacht of her type. They found fellow shining knights in the Italian yacht builder Perini Navi naval architect designer Ron Holland.

And the result, according to a review in ‘Boat International’, are all the hallmarks of a Perini Navi: “…a classically proportioned ketch whose powerful hull displays a seamanlike bow and a long, elegantly curved sheer line that runs aft over a pleasingly proportioned freeboard to a half-moon of the forward-raked transom. The stylishly rounded deckhouse is topped by a flying bridge that extends aft to a long sundeck providing shade for the guest cockpit below.” Furthermore, notes Boat International, “performance is a notch higher than any of the company’s previous vessels”.

Yacht Charter Accommodation

Luxury sailing yacht Parsifal III provides accommodation for up to a maximum of 12 charter guests in five or six luxurious staterooms. The yacht’s main owner's suite features its own saloon which can be divided into two independent double rooms, if need be. She also offers two permanent double rooms and two further twin Staterooms. All of the cabins provide full en suite bathroom facilities. She has a separate crew accommodation for 9.

Fataler Yacht-Unfall nahe Sizilien: Kapitän weist Verantwortung zurück – frische Bilder aufgetaucht

Stand: 19.09.2024, 05:14 Uhr

Von: Robin Dittrich

Nach dem Schiffsunglück der 'Bayesian' konzentrieren sich die Untersuchungen auf den Kapitän. Neue Fotos könnten den Fall in einem neuen Licht darstellen.

Palermo – Die Untersuchungen zum tragischen Untergang der Luxusyacht „Bayesian“ , bei dem sieben Menschen ihr Leben verloren, wurden von der Staatsanwaltschaft aufgenommen. Bislang konnte noch keine definitive Ursache für das Unglück ermittelt werden.

Nach Untergang der Bayesian – Ermittlungen gegen Crew

Berichten der Nachrichtenagentur Ansa zufolge, richteten sich die Ermittlungen gegen den Kapitän des Schiffes . Es wird geprüft, ob er sich der fahrlässigen Tötung und des Schiffsbruchs schuldig gemacht hat. Trotz mehrerer Befragungen konnten bisher keine schlüssigen Ergebnisse erzielt werden. Der Kapitän weist jegliche Verantwortung für das Unglück entschieden zurück.

Die Ermittler stellten sich die Frage, warum es eine mehr als halbstündige Verzögerung zwischen dem Sinken des Schiffes und dem Abschuss der Notrakete gab. Auch die Kommunikation zwischen dem Kapitän und seiner Crew steht im Fokus der Untersuchungen. Es scheint, dass zu spät auf den Sturm reagiert wurde, der zum Untergang der „Bayesian“ führte. Während der Kapitän seine Unschuld beteuert, tauchten brisante Fotos auf.

Yacht-Unglück: Beweisen Bilder die Unschuld der Crew?

Giovanni Costantino, der Chef der Werft, erhob kürzlich schwere Vorwürfe gegen die gesamte Crew des verunglückten Schiffes. In der Fernsehsendung Porta a Porta behauptete er, dass das Unglück auf eine „absurde Fehlerkette“ zurückzuführen sei. Er machte die Crew dafür verantwortlich, dass nicht alle Menschen gerettet werden konnten. Seiner Meinung nach war die Besatzung „nicht koordiniert, nicht vorbereitet und vermutlich abgelenkt“.

Karsten Börner, ein Kapitän, der sich zur Zeit des Unglücks in der Nähe befand, äußerte sich gegenüber spiegel.de zu den Anschuldigungen gegen die Crew. Er nahm ebenfalls an der Videokonferenz zum Unglück teil und berichtete, dass dort behauptet wurde, dass „alles nur die Schuld der Crew sein kann.“ Börner fühlte sich abgewürgt, als er auf Fehler in der Analyse des Unglücks hinwies.

Laut spiegel.de verfügt Börner über Fotos, die mögliche Fehler der Crew widerlegen. „Wir waren mit unserem Beiboot unterwegs und haben die Bayesian noch mal umrundet. Da ist ein Bild dabei von achtern, da kann man sehen, dass weder die Klappe an Backbord im Rumpf auf ist noch die Heckklappe.“ Diese waren laut dem Werft-Chef von der Besatzung möglicherweise nicht geschlossen worden. Börner ist jedoch der Ansicht, dass der starke Wind für das Kentern verantwortlich war. ( rd/dpa )

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Producer Reveals What Crew Members Get Paid

The Parsifal III yachties get to take home more than just charter guest tips.

On Below Deck Sailing Yacht , the crew works incredibly hard to give charter guests the most amazing luxury getaways. The charter guests then show their appreciation at the end of their time on the yacht with a tip, which gets evenly divided among the whole crew. However, that isn't the only payment the Parsifal III crew members receive on Below Deck Sailing Yacht .

How to Watch

Watch Below Deck Sailing Yacht on Bravo on Monday, October 7 at 9/8c and next day on  Peacock . Catch up on the Bravo app . 

Below Deck Sailing Yacht executive producer Jill Goslicky revealed what the crew members get paid during an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit on March 1, which also featured Captain Glenn Shephard and first mate Gary King . "They get paid in a few different ways," Goslicky said. "They do get a salary for being hired as part of the yacht crew, they do get to keep their tips, and they do get a production fee."

Goslicky also confirmed during the Reddit AMA that "the guests are actually paying for their vacations."

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Producer Explains How They Decide Which Crew Members Return

Mark Cronin, who is an executive producer of all three Below Deck franchises, shared a similar sentiment about who pays to charter the yacht during an interview with The Daily Dish in 2020 , confirming that the guests "spend their real money to be on the show." "And then the tip they leave, they decide what it is," he said.

Though the tips left by the guests aren't always what the crew was expecting , given the level of service they provided during the charter, Captain Lee Rosbach said that the gratuities have gotten better since the early days of Below Deck , noting that there were some particularly "good ones" in the most recent Season 8. "I’m not sure exactly what the catalyst is; I just hope it doesn’t quit," Captain Lee said during an exclusive interview with Bravo Insider earlier this year. "And I'm very grateful for it."
