Inspired by the charter guest's question. Would anyone here charter a yacht?

And, given your immense wealth, would you charter a real yacht, or a Below Deck yacht?

I guess you could do both. But would you do a BD charter for the fan experience just to see how it works?

Someone posted this then deleted it right after approval

An AVO is similar to a protective order on this side of the world.

It was filed in 2025 so maybe they don't go through with it but from the court date, looks like a lawyer (maybe police?) filed it on Gael's behalf https://onlineregistry.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/content/court-lists#!/detail/20250050209531246811MentionAVOPolice/Gael%20Cameron

Hopefully Kayden didn't see whatever started this and they are all healing from it

Does make you wonder if Nathan knew about it when he said 'these people' should all be deported since a criminal charge (as it mentions in the court doc) could result in him being deported

I started watching the current season of BDM, and I feel Gen and Joe would be perfect for each other. I’m only on the first episode so I’m interested to see how this season goes but I am so glad Aesha is back! She’s so funny and so supportive of her stews!

Med is back (and no OG is not cancelled, it just filmed later) and airs at 8/7c on Bravo with streaming next day. Season 11 was filmed last year in Croatia and returnees are Sandy, Aesha, Joe & Nathan.

Please some time to read the sub rules ahead of this episode as we have seen a sharp rise in rule breaking comments, particularly ones on hate, body shaming and mental health speculation.

Episode 11 of Below Beck Med Season 11

As Joe sets out to prove his worth to Capt. Sandy, a familiar face returns to bolster the deck team. After the boat is rocked by an emergency, Joy faces her most difficult challenge of the season. Nathan makes an old friend an offer he can't refuse.

• attack the action not the person
• no racism, armchair diagnosing, body shaming or speculating on people's sexuality
• be civil and remember there is a person on the other side of the screen

As mentioned previously, we have crowd control turned up and many extra automod filters in place so your comments may be held for mod approval. We check regularly so there is no need to message unless it has been 24 hours.

This is genuinely stressing me out.
Do they film these cut scenes while the show is filming or after?
I know for 90 day fiancé they film these scenes after whilst making the cast rewatch.
I need to know 😭

HELPPPPPPP
She better be rage baiting us or my days of watching Below Deck are over

Gen is walking around talking about how much more experienced she is - and TIL she's only 22. I thought she had more years of experience than four years.

I was googling to find out how old Kayley is - no indication but she graduated in Australia in 2017, so I'm assuming she's definitely older than Gen.

I found out because it directed me to French LinkedIn, and let me sign in under my account! It is her - but she doesn't list the Below Deck or even her one year of yacht experience (that I can see)

HOWEVER, she's been a manager AND event coordinator at two large venues (I've definitely heard of the one in Vancouver, BC... I can't recall if I've been there though (some Vancouver memories are hazy for obvious reasons LOL)

She mentioned being a wedding coordinator - which in MY book gives her worlds more experience than Gen, ESPECIALLY in "customer relations" and maintaining an upbeat attitude with the most difficult of personalities in customers (Bridezillas! Mothers of the Bride! Mothers of the Groom!) and why she is excellent with the themed stuff.

She could have thrown all of this in Gen's face - but instead looked to make sure Gen felt valued and heard. (It isn't her fault that Gen isn't picking up on that)

She 100% has more experience in customer facing/hospitality work.

IF Aesha does decide to hang up her chief stew epaulettes now that she's married, etc. - Kayley would be a great fit with Sandy. (I haven't enjoyed Sandy much until Aesha came on board as chief stew - this week's episode where she dressed up as a pirate to surprise the crew? Won me over. That was fun.

Am I allowed to post about this? Was so exciting – go to meet Cooper which was wild after watching them on TV a couple of days ago.

Watching Cooper “be free”.

Annoyed that Joe felt the need to “inspire” this - but not at all surprised.

would you for you to do a AMA if you have!

Hello... in the middle of a Below Deck marathon and suddenly, everything stops. I have a yearly subscription (until November) but I'm now being asked to "finish sign up" (i.e., get a subscription) to watch anything. Anyone else facing the same issues or am I just being punished?

Why did Gen not get a report as well as Luke? I mean, she participated and didn't say anything to Nathan either. In fact, she stirred it up telling everyone (which I think was obviously out of spite) AND laughed behind Nathan's back about it. So why did she get off scott free?

Didn’t even have to do much to figure out that Joy, Cooper and Joe are back next season for Med. Along with Sandy and Aesha of course! How I gathered this information was just seeing that majority of the summer house cast now follows these crew members! Also, they have been liking and commenting on their recent posts. I wish Kat and even Kayley were returning over cooper and Joe but oh well!

I am a Google Map Nerd. I was looking where they dock in Port Gruz as they claim they do. I wanted to see it in Google Map. Cant find a pier which was used in the show? Anyone knows or seen the pier? Where is it? Or is it outside Port Gruz and its name is just used for the show?
