This Is How Much It Costs To Charter The Boat From Below Deck Sailing Yacht

Spoiler: it's not cheap.

The Parisall III on Below Deck Sailing costs a pretty hefty sum to charter.

Below Deck is all about the drama a ship's crew experiences while catering to the wealthy, and its spinoff Below Deck Sailing Yacht — now in its second season — is no different. As you'd expect, the cost to charter Below Deck Sailing Yacht 's Parsifall III is extravagant, and guests can get pretty demanding about getting their money's worth.

Unsurprisingly, the cost of a week-long vacation on the Parsifall III is pretty far out of the average consumer's price point. According to Charter World, Parsifall III costs between €195,000 to €225,000 a week to rent, which equals about $234,864 to $270,997 a week. For this hefty sum, guests gets five cabins, a drinking saloon and dining area, a jacuzzi, a swimming landing pad, and more. The ship itself can hold up to 12 guests and nine crew members, and in Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2, it sails around Croatia.

As for the ship's specifications, the Parsifall III is a lavish 177-foot long sailing yacht made in 2005 by the renowned Italian shipyard Perini Navi, with French designer Remi Tessier designing the interior. As Adam Glick told E! New 's Pop of the Morning show in 2020, a large ship like Parsifall III can easily cost "30, 40, 50 million" to buy; the sails alone can cost $300,000 to replace.

Season 2 will likely explore the cost of repairing the ship, as a preview of Below Deck Sailing Yacht shows that the Parsifall III accidentally collides with a docking wall due to a "throttle malfunction," per E! News. "Hitting the dock like that can be a season-ending incident. It can be very serious," Captain Glenn Shepard said . He added that that's the first time he's ever crashed a boat, but it's "unfortunate that it happened" at all.

As for the yacht's name, it derives from the Arthurian knight Percival, who is most famous for being the hero who goes on a long-running journey for the Holy Grail — no doubt an analogy meant to make guests feel like traveling on Parsifall III will lead to the best experience money can buy.

Jenna MacGillivray serves guests on Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

"The [guest] requests get so bizarre," Glick told E! New s' Pop of the Morning. "For example, we might be brought a king-sized bag of Skittles and told that we're only allowed to put out the orange ones. So now you've got crew members wasting incredibly valuable time picking out orange Skittles." In Season 1, Chief Stewardess Jenna MacGillivray mentioned that some guests have even asked her to tuck them in.

" Below Deck makes great drama out of the nuances of the kind of 'interior' service labor often deemed too feminine (and boring) to anchor pop culture narratives: event planning, waitressing, laundering, and cooking," Pier Dominguez wrote for Buzzfeed. "In the age of millennial burnout — and especially for the channel’s younger-skewing audience — it’s easy to identify with performing work under constant pressure, hoping to reap rewards subject to the whims of the 1%."

This is most exemplified at the end of every Below Deck episode, when the crew gets together to assess performances and find out how much the guests tipped them. If they did well, the rewards can be tremendous: in Season 1, a satisfied customer tipped $20,000 to Captain Glenn Shepard and his crew.

This Is How Much It Costs To Sail On Below Deck Yachts Around The World

Below Deck fans will have to pay a lot of money if they want to take a ride on one of the show's many yachts.

Quick Links

How much do the guests on below deck spend to travel by yacht, how much does chartering a below deck yacht cost.

Once the Bravo series Below Deck premiered in 2013, the show went on to be a big hit for the network. In fact, even though other Bravo shows get more attention, Below Deck was successful enough to spawn many spin-off series including Below Deck Sailing Yacht , Below Deck Mediterranean, Below Deck Down Under, and Below Deck Adventure.As any Below Deck fan will likely be able to attest, the show is successful for many reasons including the show's cast who've gone on lead interesting lives , and their wild behavior . Another reason why people enjoy Below Deck is the show gives them a window into the high life. Related: Does The Cast Of Below Deck Use A Script? When people think about the most expensive things that the rich and famous enjoy, yachts are one of the first things that leap to mind. As a result, watching a show about people who spend much of their lives on yachts seems very appealing.As fun as it can be to watch Below Deck on TV, the show's biggest fans may want to experience the show in real life. The closest anyone can get to achieving that is by traveling on the yachts seen on the show. Unfortunately, any fans who want to sail on one of Below Deck's yachts in real life are going to need a fortune.

When fans tune into reality shows like Survivor or Big Brother, everyone they see on screen is being paid to be there. As a result, some people may assume that everyone who is seen on Below Deck gets paid as well.

For the people who work on the yachts seen on Below Deck, like Captain Lee, they get paid for their regular job and to appear on the show as well. However, the guests that appear in episodes of Below Deck don't walk away from the experience with more money in their pockets.

Anytime someone travels by yacht, that costs an incredible amount of money. With that in mind, it makes perfect sense that Below Deck's guests don't make money from the show. After all, if Below Deck's producers paid them and subsidized their travel fees, that would be way too expensive for a reality show.

However, that doesn't mean that the guests who are seen on Below Deck get nothing for being on the show. According to a report from 2016, Below Deck's guests pay a reduced rate of $55,000 for a group of five to enjoy the experience seen on the show.

For their $55,000, those groups of five get to travel by yacht for three days, stay in a 5-star hotel for two nights, and their airfare is covered as well. Despite everything they get for that cash, most people are likely to think that $55,000 is way too much to spend.

However, once Below Deck fans learn how much a trip like that usually costs, $55,000 is a steal.

As Below Deck fans are likely to already know, the show's seasons have featured several different yachts. As a result, viewers who want to have a Below Deck experience are going to have to figure out which yacht they want to stay on before making any plans.

Unfortunately, it isn't clear how much it would cost to charter some of the yachts seen in seasons of Below Deck and its spin-off. On top of that, some of the yachts simply aren't available to the general public. However, here is what is known about the Below Deck yachts fans can charter according to worldwideluxuryyacht.com.

During the first season of Below Decks, the yacht Motoryacht Honor was seen. Capable of accommodating 12 guests in 6 cabins, chartering that yacht reportedly starts from $189,000 per week.

Not quite as elaborate as the yacht from the first season, the Motoryacht Ohana can only accommodate 10 guests but it features a 6-person Jacuzzi and a sundeck with a huge barbecue grill. Seen during Below Deck's second season, chartering it for a week starts from $140,000.

Seen during Below Deck's third season, the Motoryacht Eros is a gorgeous yacht but it reportedly isn't available to charter. However, according to reports, if it was available fans could expect to spend at least $175,000 for a week.

Actually seen during the 4th, 5th, and 7th seasons, the Motoryacht Valor is incredible. According to reports, to charter Valor costs at least $168,000 by winter in the Caribbean and from $170,500 by summer in the Mediterranean.

Of all the Below Deck yachts that charter fees have been reported on, Motoryacht My Seanna from the 6th and 8th seasons is by far the most expensive. Absolutely massive, it features an onboard cinema, jacuzzi, and spacious beach club. For that reason, it costs at least $294,000 to charter it for a week.

How Much Does it Cost to Charter a Yacht on Below Deck?

The Big Question: “ How Much Does it Cost to Charter a Yacht on Below Deck? ”

Well the yachts featured on Below Deck have high weekly price tags ranging from $140,000 a week to $271,500 a week.

Some of the superyachts featured on Below Deck are not available for weekly rentals as they have been brought or sold by private owners. Either before the shows filming took place, or since the show has aired.

How Much Does It Cost For You To Charter a Yacht?

When planning a yacht charter, it’s essential to consider the various factors that will contribute to the overall cost. It’s not just about the boat; your charter will be shaped by:

  • Destination . The area where you’ll be sailing can impact the cost significantly, with high-demand locations often commanding higher rates.
  • Yacht Type . The style and size of the boat you choose will play a big part in the cost. Larger, luxury yachts will cost more than smaller or more basic models.
  • Charter Type . If you’re hiring a crew along with your yacht, this will add to the cost. A bareboat charter, where you sail the boat yourself, can be less expensive.
  • Season . Prices can vary greatly depending on the time of year. Peak sailing season tends to be more expensive than off-peak times.
  • Extras . From onboard entertainment to water sports equipment, the extras you opt for will affect the final price.
  • Charter Duration . Obviously, the longer your charter, the more it will cost. However, longer charters may offer better value per day.

Despite these variables, with some careful planning and a bit of flexibility, yacht charter can be a lot more accessible than you might think. At SailChecker.com , we’re dedicated to helping you find the perfect charter experience to fit your budget and needs.

How Much Does it Cost to Charter a Below Deck Yacht?

 of How Much Does it Cost to Charter a Below Deck Yacht?

Ever since its debut in the summer of 2013, the ‘ Below Deck ‘ franchise has been following the experiences of crew members who live and work aboard luxurious vessels as it sails through beautiful locations across the world. From navigating their roles and interpersonal relationships to meeting every demand of their seemingly overbearing guests, they essentially have to do it all. However, let’s be honest, as onlookers, we do cut the patrons some slack considering the evident, exuberant amounts of money they spend on a vacation. So now, let’s find out the actual cost, shall we?

When you charter a vessel from the list of ‘Below Deck’ superyachts, you can expect 150+ feet of deluxe comfort, including a personalized itinerary, suitcase management, water activities, and turn-down services, amongst much more. You can even request off-boat excursions — planned and executed by the vessel’s crew members —  to ensure that you get everything in one place without any serious efforts for complete relaxation. Though, of course, with that, you have to pay the appropriate compensation, which racks up to a minimum of $140,000 (plus expenses) for a weeklong venture.

Coming to the luxury we have all come to know and love as My Seanna, the 185-feet Starship is the most expensive here at $260,000/week.

As for the sails of ‘Below Deck Mediterranean’ and ‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht,’ while Parsifall III from the latter costs between $240,000 to $280,000 a week to rent, Ionian Princess from the former’s season 1 starts at about $163,000. The Sirocco of seasons 2 and 4 lands in the pricey range of $192,000 to $213,500, whereas season 3’s Talisman Maiton crosses the $250,000 mark.

As for The Wellington in the fifth season, the 184.5-feet beauty goes from $260,000 to $280,000 for a week. However, season 6’s Lady Michelle breaks all bounds by costing between $270,000 to $310,000 plus expenses. With that said, a few years ago, show creator Mark Cronin revealed that the guests who appear on the series are given a discount of about 50% from the actual cost of chartering the vessel for three days.

“We ask them to tip about 15% to 20% of the full cost though,” Mark Cronin added on a Reddit thread . “The tip amount is up to them as well. They are not compensated, but we pay their airfare.” Along with that, the production team also supports the guests by providing hotel accommodations the night before and the night after the charter while ensuring their complete safety and comfort. Their support extends to the crew in the form of an adequate salary and a few other benefits as well.

Thalassa from the first season of Below Deck Down Under is the series’s second-most-expensive yacht. Originally christened Keri Lee III , the 181-foot superyacht was launched by U.S. shipyard Trinity Yachts in 2001 and refitted in 2016. In addition to meticulous craftsmanship and high-end finishes, she showcases six elegant cabins, a beauty salon, a massage room, a gym, a Jacuzzi, and a movie theater. She is reportedly worth $27 million, according to Rightboat.

That’s not the only fleet member Trinity has in the top five, either. The 161-foot Eros , known as Stay Salty IRL, claimed third spot with an estimated value of $23 million. Delivered by the U.S. yard in 2008, the vessel received a meticulous refit just before starring Below Deck Season 3 to ensure she was up to snuff.

Delta Marine’s 185-foot superyacht Starship , known as My Seanna during filming, ranked as the fourth priciest vessel with a value of $22.9 million. It also costs a lofty $275,000 per week to rent. Rounding out the top five is Feadship’s BG , or Valor in the show. Delivered by the Dutch yard in 2013, the 153-footer features a highly sophisticated exterior styled by De Voogt and a luxe contemporary interior by McMilen Design.

You Won't Believe How Much the Below Deck Sailing Yacht Ship Costs

Below Deck Sailing Yacht 's customers can be very particular.

In this clip from Monday's Pop of the Morning , Bravo personalities Adam Glick and Jenna MacGillivray —who star in the network's newest Below Deck spin-off, premiering tonight, Feb. 3, at 9 p.m.—reveal how much  Sailing Yacht 's 180-foot-long Parsifal III  costs. 

"30, 40, 50 million," says Glick, the chef fans first met during seasons two and three of Below Deck Mediterranean , who returns to the franchise with its latest installment.

"A new sailboat that size...and sailboats are more expensive, believe it or not, because they require the upkeep," he continues. "You're looking at sails that deteriorate. Well, there's $300,000 you've got to replace. Just an upkeep. They figure whatever the value of the boat is, 10 percent of that is your yearly upkeep."

Glick and his co-star also share some of the oddest requests they've received from yacht patrons.

"The requests get so bizarre," Glick tells POTM co-hosts Lilliana Vazquez , Scott Tweedie and Victor Cruz . "For example, we might be brought a king-sized bag of Skittles and told that we're only allowed to put out the orange ones. So, now you've got crew members wasting incredibly valuable time sitting in my galley picking out orange Skittles."

MacGillivray, a Bravo newcomer and Chief Stewardess on Sailing Yacht , is no stranger to unique asks, either.

The Chief Stew tells POTM she isn't afraid to turn down a request "if it's too far," although some guests have asked the crew member "to tuck them in," which does not seem to faze her. "That sounds worse than it is," MacGillivray says casually. "People just want to be babied."

Hear Glick and MacGillivray's thoughts on which Sailing Yacht cast member is most likely to engage in a threesome, hook up with a guest and more in the full clip above!

How much does it cost to charter a yacht from below deck.

If you’ve watched Below Deck or Below Deck Mediterranean, you have surely been absorbed by the captivating drama of the cast’s lives. But more stunning than the cast are the beautiful superyachts that serve as the stage for the drama. But how much does it cost?   It costs $140,000 to $275,000 per week to charter a yacht from ‘Below Deck’. The average price you should expect to pay is north of $180,000 to charter a boat that has been on the later seasons of ‘Below Deck’. But if you get featured on the show, you’ll probably only pay half of the charter rate due to a 50% discount from the production.   In this article, you will learn more about the prices of those yachts featured in the famous TV show. You will also find out whether Captain Lee comes with the yachts and how you can meet the cast and crew of ‘Below Deck’ in real life. But first, let’s explore the process of chartering a yacht from ‘Below Deck’.  

How to charter a Yacht from ‘Below Deck’?

Below Deck Yacht Scirocco

However…

Because the average yacht on the show is worth over 18 million dollars, most yacht rentals don’t let the production shoot on their yachts for free promotion. In such instances, there is no exchange of free marketing and discounts, which is why most boats you see on the show have their names disguised with a show version name. Below, you’ll find the list of all the featured yachts and their real names.  

   

How high are the prices for Yachts from ‘Below Deck’?

Captain Lee and Crew

Can you get Captain Lee on your Yacht?

Captain Lee is not attached to any specific yacht from the show ‘Below Deck’. If you charter a yacht from the show, there is no guarantee that the crew will be the same cast as it was on ‘Below Deck’. On the other hand, you can charter a yacht that’s never been featured on the show and still get Captain Lee. Please contact us upfront if you want to charter a specific yacht from the show and if you have any wishes regarding the crew. You can request Captain Lee for your yacht charter and specifically request for his staff from ‘Below Deck’. We at Noblesse Yachts will make all the arrangements for you. But that doesn’t guarantee you’ll be featured on the reality TV series ‘Below Deck’, as not all of Captain Lee’s adventures are featured in the series.

An easier way to meet Captain Lee and his crew is to apply for the show. Instead of paying for a superyacht charter and Captain Lee independently, you can book them as a package deal – if you are willing to be featured on the show. Please note that Captain Lee Yacht availability keeps decreasing by the minute. He has brand deals, collaborations, and other engagements that can further narrow his time for in-person captaining. In other words, getting the stud of the sea to captain your yacht will take far more than the average yacht captain’s quote.

For fans of captain Lee on Below Deck, there are meet-and-greet events as well as the option to get a personalized video message .  

Getting featured on the Netflix-Show ‘Below Deck’: The Process

Getting featured on Below Deck entails:

  • answering the casting call of the production company that shoots the show
  • willingness to pay 50% of the yacht charter price and 100% of the staff tips
  • getting interviewed by the casting director

Film Production Below Deck Show

How to charter a yacht from ‘Below Deck’ – without actually being on the show

If you want to rent a yacht from ‘Below Deck’, you can simply contact us . We have all available dates, charter prices, and itineraries for every yacht featured on the show. Is your preferred yacht not available? Don’t worry. The yacht charter market is BIG, and we can almost guarantee that we will find a suitable option for your desired dates or destination.  

Are there any hidden costs when chartering a yacht from ‘Below Deck’?

Although charter prices for yachts from ‘Below Deck’ start at a whopping $140,000 per week, these prices don’t include standard charter extras. Alongside paying for the staff tips (usually 10% of the charter price), you may need to pay for docking fees, applicable taxes, and the APA (advance provisioning allowance).

We will gladly calculate any applicable extra costs to avoid you getting surprised by hidden fees and taxes. Depending on the destination, the docking fees will be listed and accessible (to an extent).  

What you need to know before getting aboard a yacht on ‘Below Deck’

  • You have to pay – The production will contribute to your yacht charter, but you will not leave the show with any profit. That distinguishes the show from many other reality shows. However, you will save a significant amount of money, that’s for sure.
  • You’ll get a discount on the charter rate – The production will pay for 50% of the yacht charter price. The trend shows that they choose bigger yachts with every season because people are willing to pay more to get on the screen.
  • You pay 100% of the staff tips – That’s usually 10% of the charter’s total price. You might want to tip more if you want to show your generosity.
  • You are willing to ‘work’ on your vacation – It really does involve work, as you have to be camera-ready and may have to re-enact real-life interactions if cameras are unavailable when something significant happens.

What is the minimal booking period for a Luxury Yacht Rental?

  • Maldives – Decent yacht availability, low rates
  • Turkey – Broader superyacht availability, good rates
  • Dubai – Superyachts are available for hourly, sharing, and rental. Expensive
  • Greece – Narrow yacht availability, low rates
  • Croatia – Narrowest yacht availability, low rates

Below Deck Yachts

Yacht with Below Deck logo

If you’ve never seen the show, it follows the crew of a luxury yacht during peak “charter season.” The original Below Deck, for example, showed off the glitz and glamour of the Caribbean, especially around St. Thomas, the British Virgin Islands, and the Bahamas. The Mediterranean spin-off, on the other hand, highlights European hotspots, including Italy, Spain and Croatia.

The show is undeniably a ton of fun. From the drama in the crew quarters, to the incredible beaches, the show provides an entertaining look behind the curtain.

Yet, the chartered superyachts are the real stars of the show. Each season, Below Deck features a truly stunning super yacht. All of them measure over 150 feet and are decked out in opulent features, staterooms and amenities. And here’s something you might not know: The majority of the Below Deck yachts are available for charter!

Below Deck Charter Yachts

Through five seasons, Below Deck has featured some of the most magnificent super yachts in the world. Some of the yachts have changed ownership since the show, been renamed, or have undergone a refitting. Yet, most look like they did from the show.

But beyond the name and maybe a few changes to the interior, there aren’t many differences. All of the water toys, Jacuzzis and stunning outdoor dining areas are what you’ll find on the yachts available for charter! So which charter yachts are available?

Here’s a more detailed look at the yachts featured on the original Below Deck:

Honor – Season 1

Lumiere yacht

Honor (which is now LUMIERE) kicked off the first season, and she put on a dazzling display. The yacht, originally built by Benetti in 1999, is one of the largest yachts ever featured on the show, and it was actually booked for a five-week charter for filming.

HONOR benefited from the new-found fame of the show. She sold after it aired for nearly $15 million, and the new owners completely refit her interiors and renamed the boat. Today, LUMIERE is a masterpiece of nautical engineering.

She features luxurious accommodations for up to 12 guests and an abundance of deck space, including a sprawling sun deck. The yacht also features a wide array of water toys (the slide was a struggle for the crew all season!).

Ohana – Season 2

Yacht Rhino

Season 2 took the crew on a tour of the British Virgin Islands and featured some familiar faces. Captain Lee, Chef Ben, and Bosun Eddie were back, much to the pleasure of fans. Yet, the yacht was completely different.

OHANA (real name is RHINO) was featured on the second season, a stunning 154-footer, with beautiful decks, a horseshoe outdoor bar, and a stunning outdoor sun deck. After the show aired in 2014, Ohana underwent an extensive retrofit.

She now features an updated interior with a decidedly modern, airy vibe, as well as new hardware, including a state-of-the-art stabilization system.

Eros – Season 3

Yacht Mustang Sally

EROS took centerstage in Season 3, and the 161-foot yacht, originally built for the founder of Tim Hortons, was one of the most luxurious featured on the show. The beautiful tri-deck, featured a stately saloon, a sky lounge Jacuzzi, and sleek exterior styling.

EROS – which was sold prior to the third season – has since been renamed and was also remodeled. She’s now known as Mustang Sally, and unfortunately, this is one of the few Below Deck charter yachts that’s not available for charter.

Valor – Seasons 4 & 5

below deck sailing yacht cost of boat

The stately VALOR was a fan favorite in Season 4 and 5. Built in 1990 by Dutch-based Feadship, the 154-foot VALOR featured a sprawling aft deck, perfect for sunset dinners and afternoon lounges. Plus, the ship – when featured on the show – had a range of water toys, including dual jet skis and a sleek, boutique hotel-inspired interior.

Like Mustang Sally, VALOR – which is now known as simply BG – isn’t available for charter. Yet, fans will always remember all the drama that took place on board.

Below Deck Mediterranean Yachts

Below Deck Mediterranean premiered in 2016, and through three seasons, the show has featured some of the Med’s best yachts. All of the yachts from the Mediterranean spin-off are available for charter, exactly how you see them on the show.

Ionian Princess – Season 1

Yacht Ionian Princess

Season 1 of Below Deck Mediterranean launched with a bang, featuring one of the strongest premieres for the franchise. Although there was plenty of drama throughout the season as the crew traveled around Greece, the beauty of IONIAN PRINCESS couldn’t be missed. The ship, which was originally built in the U.S. in 2005, featured a sleek, streamlined tri-deck design and gorgeous interiors.

The sun deck – where guests partied all season long – is one of the yacht’s star attractions, featuring a Jacuzzi with world-class views. Her interior, though, is one of the most stunning, featuring a chic design. The yacht also includes six cabins with accommodations for up to 12 guests.

Sirocco – Season 2

Sirocco yacht

Season 2 took the crew to Croatia, aboard SIROCCO. The Dutch-built yacht originally launched in 2006, and thanks to its unique two-tone, third-deck exterior, she was remembered for her striking exterior. All of the yacht’s features made great TV. From her incredible sun deck, to the African chic interior, and all of the many water toys, SIROCCO’s impressive design and amenities stood out.

Today, she’s available for charter throughout the Mediterranean. A few unique features include a sun deck gym, an alfresco party deck, a theatre, and a wide array of water toys.

Talisman Maiton – Season 3

Talisman

Named for an island in Thailand, TAILSMAN MAITON is a stunning tri-deck that cruises the pristine waters of Italy and all of the Mediterranean. The largest to ever be featured on the show, TAILSMAN is truly incredible.

The yacht accommodates 12 guests, in 6 beautifully appointed rooms. There’s a master suite, as well as 1 VIP stateroom, and four smaller cabins. The yacht was built in 2006, but most recently refit in 2016 with a timeless Art Deco aesthetic. The yacht also features a sundeck spa pool with a beautiful bar, a full-service gym, and an observation deck with panoramic views.

How Long Are the Below Deck Charters?

Here’s a little-known secret about Below Deck: The “charter season” on the show is just a few weeks. In fact, the yachts are actually booked for about six weeks, and their regular crews are sent home. In other words, the charters on Below Deck are actually a charter within a charter!

Each of the Below Deck charters last just a few days, and each episode features new charter guests.

Below Deck Yacht Rental Costs

Hiring a yacht from Below Deck isn’t cheap. The majority cost in the neighborhood of $150,000 per week. Yet, that charter rate doesn’t include expenses, including fuel, dockage fees, and taxes.

Yet, for that price, you’ll get a truly world-class experience. The crews of each of these yachts provide first-class service and all of the boats are fully loaded with amenities. There’s nothing quite like it in the world. And by hiring one of these superyachts, you’ll also have bragging rights for chartering a yacht featured on a TV show!

Captain Glenn Shephard Reveals the Surprising Cost to Repair the Yacht Crash Damage

There's been a recent development in what actually caused the Below Deck Sailing Yacht accident.

below deck sailing yacht cost of boat

The Below Deck Sailing Yacht crew gathered virtually to discuss the biggest moments of Season 2 during Part 1 of the reunion on Watch What What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on June 21. So, of course, that included a look back at the crash into the dock , the biggest boat crash in Below Deck history.

How to Watch

Watch Below Deck Sailing Yacht on Peacock and the Bravo app . 

As you may recall this season, after hitting the dock earlier in the day, the Parsifal III  smashed into the dock a second time when it malfunctioned and the vessel continued to move backward, even as Captain Glenn Shephard tried to propel it forward. The yacht totally uprooted the dock's concrete blocks in the crash, but fortunately, the boat only really incurred cosmetic damage to the transom.

Captain Glenn wasn't 100 percent certain what caused the crash immediately following the accident or even in the months after . However, he recently learned what actually led to the malfunction, thanks to Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 1's chief engineer Byron Hissey . "I kind of understand what happened now. I talked to Byron a couple days ago, and he had a very similar problem. When you're in high revs, when you're maneuvering, and you go under a stern, it gets stuck sometimes, and it's exactly what happened. I didn't realize it until I spoke to him," Captain Glenn shared. "He spoke to the manufacturer of the, it's a controllable pitch propeller, and he said it's a known issue. I didn't know about it. I wish I had. I wouldn't have used the higher revs."

Even though the damage to the stern of the boat looked pretty nasty after the accident, it actually wasn't that costly to repair, Captain Glenn revealed during the reunion. "The people who painted the boat just prior to this season owed us a free transom paint job," he told host Andy Cohen during the sit-down. "So I think it was a couple grand just to fill it."

Captain Glenn explained that they were fortunate that the transom hit the dock in the way that it did. "It was just filler that was damaged, which we were really lucky," he said. "Those stones lifting up and riding up the back, that was like a massive shock absorber, and it saved us."

As for the cost to repair the dock, Captain Glenn said, "I think it was five, six grand. Our insurance took care of that."

All in all, it sounds like the real damage was done to Captain Glenn's ego. "Yeah, I mean, that stuff doesn't happen, doesn't happen. And it happens, and of course, it's on film, so that's even better. Everybody I've ever worked with is gonna see that," Captain Glenn said of the crash during the reunion. "So, yeah, it's not fun."

The one good thing that came out of this incident is that it showed Captain Glenn just how skilled of a deck crew he had in Gary King , Sydney Zaruba , and Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux as they did an "exemplary" job of handling this emergency situation, according to the Parsifal III boss. "They were amazing. I mean, I don't see it 'til after because Gary and Sydney and JL, they're sorting out this problem at the back. I'm like 35 meters away trying to control what the boat's doing," Captain Glenn said. "Everybody did amazing."

The Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2 reunion continues with Part 2 on Tuesday, June 22 at 9/8c.

Gratuities for the yacht crew

It is customary to tip the crew after a successful charter, typically ranging from 10–20% of the base charter fee . For example, for a one-week charter on the Sirocco at €180,000, a tip between €18,000 and €36,000 would be appropriate.

below deck sailing yacht cost of boat

Seasonal fluctuations of chartering yachts

The Mediterranean yacht charter season generally runs from April to October , with the peak months being July and August. During these months, demand is high, and prices tend to be at their highest. However, you can still find great deals during the shoulder months of May, June, September, and October. The weather and sailing conditions vary depending on the time of year, so make sure to do your research and choose the best time to suit your preferences and budget.

Additional expenses for chartering a yacht

Additional expenses such as fuel, food, beverages, and harbor fees can significantly impact your total cost. Most yacht charters operate on an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) basis, which means you will be charged a percentage of the charter fee (usually 20–30%) to cover these additional expenses. It's important to plan and budget for these costs to avoid any surprises.

Remember that tipping the crew is customary, so factor that into your budget as well. A general guideline is 10–15% of the total charter fee, depending on the quality of service.

Yacht charters can also offer optional extras such as water sports equipment, diving gear, or event planning services. These can add to the overall cost, so consider which optional features you'd like to include in your charter experience and inquire about their associated fees.

Choosing the perfect yacht for your Mediterranean vacation is an exciting step in the planning process. To find the ideal yacht for your needs, consider the following factors:

Budget : Determine how much you're willing to spend on your yacht charter experience. The cost to rent a yacht can vary significantly, from €140,000 per week for the Below Deck yachts to more affordable options from various yacht rental services.

Duration : Decide how long you'd like to charter the yacht and plan your itinerary accordingly. This will help you pick the most suitable yacht for your desired time frame.

Guests : Assess the number of guests joining your trip. Ensure the yacht you choose can accommodate everyone comfortably.

Amenities : Consider the type of amenities you'd like on board. These may include gym equipment, watersports equipment, or spa facilities. Make sure the yacht provides the amenities you need for an enjoyable time.

Now that you have an idea of what you're looking for in a yacht, follow these steps to book your Mediterranean yacht experience:

Step 1: Research yacht charter agencies

Start by researching reputable yacht charter agencies, like CharterWorld or Northrop & Johnson . Browse their websites to see the different yachts and itineraries available.

Step 2: Contact a yacht charter broker

Get in touch with a professional yacht charter broker who can help you find the perfect yacht for your needs. Discuss your budget, desired time frame, and preferences with the broker to narrow down your choices.

Step 3: Select your yacht

Choose the yacht that best suits your preferences, budget, and availability. Ensure the yacht is available during your desired dates and confirm the details of the rental agreement.

Step 4: Finalize your booking

Once you've selected your yacht and agreed on the price and rental terms, submit the necessary paperwork and deposits to secure your booking. Make sure to read and understand the contract thoroughly before signing.

In this section, we will explore how you can save on yacht charters by booking in advance and taking advantage of discounts and offers available for the famous yachts seen on Below Deck.

Booking in advance

One of the best ways to save on your yacht charter costs is by booking early. Yacht charter companies often offer early booking discounts to encourage customers to secure their spots ahead of time.

Additionally, booking early will allow you to have more flexibility in selecting the perfect itinerary and destination, avoiding peak travel times, and securing better overall rates for both the yacht and any additional expenses such as food, fuel, and activities.

When searching for discounts, always check with the yacht charter company or broker to see if they have any exclusive deals or promotions going on. You may also want to consider joining mailing lists or following yacht charter companies on social media to stay informed about the latest offers.

Screen Rant

Below deck sailing yacht season 5: trailer, cast, latest news, & everything we know.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5's filming wrapped up and there is some controversy regarding the cast, editing, and the ideal premiere date.

  • Below Deck Sailing Yacht should be the next franchise installment airing, but Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 will be first.
  • The premiere delay is likely due to First Officer Gary King's problematic behavior, the sexual misconduct allegation against him and the need to edit his appearance.
  • Below Deck Sailing Yacht will likely feature the same returning crew as the last three seasons.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 may be just around the corner, and viewers can expect some big changes. Bravo's hit Below Deck spinoff began in 2020 and has already featured four explosive seasons. Fans will once again jump aboard Parsifal III and experience the next adventure with Captain Glenn Shephard and his interior and exterior crew. There have been some troubling new developments with season 5, the cast, and when fans can expect the hit Below Deck spinoff's return.

While the network has been silent about Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5, a lot has been going on behind the scenes that may be cause for concern. However, crew sightings have revealed which part of the Mediterranean Sea Captain Glenn will explore with his new and returning crew members. Furthermore, First Officer Gary King has also posted some clues that confirm the location and highlight that filming has already happened. A few observations also highlight that viewers are just a few months away from watching another season despite any drama signaling otherwise.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 Latest News

Below deck sailing yacht has had a lot of drama.

Some Below Deck Sailing Yacht sightings practically confirm Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5's location. In June 2023, Reddit user Take_Me_To_Ibiza spotted Captain Glenn's Parsifal III and snapped a picture. The user then reshared the post, stating that the famous boat was "spotted in Ibiza." The iconic reality TV show's last two seasons covered Spain and Italy. Therefore, it wouldn't be surprising that the crew is exploring nearby areas and visiting exotic locations such as Ibiza. The location is part of Spain's Balearic Islands, including resort cities such as Palma. It seems like a perfect setup for the show.

34-year-old First Officer Gary King has been mired in controversy . While his reputation throughout his three seasons in Below Deck Sailing Yacht has largely been negative, with fans believing him to be sleazy, a pot-stirrer, and a bad boss, optics have gotten even worse for Gary. A former makeup artist for the Below Deck franchise, Samantha Suarez came forward in August 2023, alleging that Gary was sexually inappropriate with her during filming in the summer of 2022. Gary was never held accountable by production, although Bravo said they investigated the misconduct allegations.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5's Potential Release Date

Bdsy is not being released when it usually is.

The Below Deck franchise typically follows a schedule. Historically, Below Deck Sailing Yacht has been filmed in August for a Spring/Summer release schedule the following year. It usually follows after Below Deck 's OG series. The show's airing schedule has been similar since 2020. Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 1 aired in February 2020, and the next three seasons also came out at a similar time. Therefore, fans should have expected Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 to appear on their TV screens as early as February 2024.

There has been overlap with the main show and its spinoffs before, so it would not be unusual for that to happen again. However, there has been no mention of the release date, and instead, Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 is up next. This is likely due to Gary's misconduct and the public fan outcry over his continued involvement in Below Deck Sailing Yacht . In the past, certain cast members have been edited out when seriously damaging information has come to light about them.

Peter Hunziker from Below Deck Med season 5 was edited out after his past racist social media posts surfaced. The reason Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 is delayed in its release date, is likely due to Gary's behavior and the network's need to edit him from the latest filming. The Bravo network has yet to make a public statement on why BDSY is not airing next or when fans can expect its return. Since the season has already been filmed, it will most likely move forward soon.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5's Potential Cast

The usual crew will likely be returning.

Bravo hasn't confirmed the crew yet, but cast members' social media profiles hint at who may appear on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5. Captain Glenn would certainly be part of the show, as he's the main icon. Gary is also expected to resume his duties as the First Officer, as some of his posts suggest he was in Ibiza. Chief Engineer Colin MacRae lives and breathes sea life, and would be by Captain Glenn's side. Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher is very busy these days but likely made time to return to the show that made her a Bravo icon. Stew Lucy Edmunds may also return since she became a fan-favorite from season 4.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 Trailer

Below deck mediterranean is next up.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans may not be able to count on watching a trailer in the near future since the release date is currently unknown. But until then, fans can look forward to Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 with Captain Sandy Yawn at the help and Below Deck Down Under Chief Stew Aesha Scott returning to the Med series (via Bravo .) Check back to find out more information on Below Deck Sailing Yacht 's return to TV in season 5.

Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 premieres Monday, June 3, at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht

Below Deck Sailing Yacht is a spin-off of the Below Deck reality television series. Premiering on Bravo, the show follows the life of a Yacht crew as they attempt to navigate a busy Charter season in which many customers make use of a 177-foot sailing yacht. Over the first three seasons, the yacht has been to Greece, Croatia, and Spain.

What happened to Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5? Here’s what we know

Captain Glenn Shephard Below Deck Sailing Yacht cast photo

What happened to Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5? That’s the question on fans’ minds after it was revealed Below Deck Med Season 9 will air following Below Deck Season 11.

Ever since Below Deck Sailing Yacht premiered on Bravo, it has followed the OG show.

That’s the way it’s been for the past four years, except for last year when Below Deck Down Under Season 2 aired after Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

So why all of a sudden is there a switch in the schedule, especially since Below Deck Med Season 8 just ended in January?

Let’s take a look at what we know.

What happened to Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5?

The reason for the change-up likely has to do with the sexual misconduct allegations that came out against Gary King after Season 5 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht was filmed.

Leaked photos revealed that Daisy Kelliher and Gary were back for another stint aboard Parsifal III with Captain Glenn. The two of them returning was music to fans’ ears as they helped make Below Deck Sailing Yacht a huge success with Colin MacRae.

However, a couple of weeks later, news broke that a member of the production team came out via Rolling Stone to accuse Gary of unwanted sexual advances and harassment. Gary was soon removed from the BravoCon 2023 list, making clear Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 could be in trouble.

Unlike when Peter Hunziker was fired by Bravo for a racist post and then edited out of the season, Gary has not been fired from the show. Plus, editing Gary out really wouldn’t be an option because he plays such a pivotal role and makes a good story even if fans don’t like him.

All of this means that what would have been Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 could be scrapped. Should that be the case, a new season of the sailing show won’t air for a long time.

Then again, maybe the powers that be are still trying to figure out how to save the season with Gary, and they just need more time.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans share thoughts on schedule change

A Reddit thread devoted to the Below Deck Med and Below Deck Sailing Yacht swap had fans buzzing.

“I would absolutely be okay with a delay if it means not having to watch Gary. I’m not sure I’ll even watch if he’s on it, especially since Colin isn’t. And Glenn the enabler has went from being best captain to #3 now…,” wrote one user.

Another admitted to liking the sailing show with Daisy but could do without Gary and would be fine if Season 5 never aired.

“AS IT SHOULD BE. Bravo needs to learn- you hire racists, you hire sexual abusers, you’re going to lose money. The end.” was another remark.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Reddit comments

A different user doesn’t think the season will air and noticed Daisy switched her Instagram bio, so that may be a clue that Season 5 will never see the light of day. There was also speculation that Below Deck spin-offs will soon be combined for money reasons.

“That is a possibility or they’re still editing the heck out of it to reduce his role as much as possible but that has got to be a monumental task. I doubt they’d scrub an entire season but maybe more things have come out behind the scenes we’re unaware of and they have to do what they have to do especially with all the negative publicity they’re getting with Andy Cohen lately.” declared another user.

More Below Deck Sailing Yacht comments

Along with Below Deck Sailing Yacht being pushed back, Below Deck Down Under fate seems to be up in the air. As Monsters and Critics previously reported, Captain Jason Chambers asked for fans’ help with Season 3.

Be sure to keep checking back for more news on th e Below Deck franchise.

Below Deck Med Season 9 premieres on Monday, June 3 at 9/8c on Bravo. Below Deck Sailing Yacht is currently on hiatus on Bravo.

B elow Deck Sailing Yacht fans were dealt a low blow this week when it was revealed Below Deck Med will hit Bravo airwaves after the OG Below Deck ends.

It’s that time of year again, when Captain Glenn Shephard and his Parsifal III crew should be gracing our TV screens.

Ever since Below Deck Sailing Yacht premiere in 2020, it has aired after Below Deck late spring seasons.

However, as Monsters and Critics previously Below Deck Med Season 9 will hit Bravo airwaves after Below Deck Season 11 wraps up.

“What the hell is this? Below Deck Med was just on, and we hated it. Below Deck Sailing should be up next. Why is Aesha on this instead of Down Under? Where is Captain Jason?  #Belowdeckmed #belowdeckdownunder #belowdecksailinyacht #bdsy #BelowDeck,” read an X.

Another one made it clear the user wanted Below Deck Sailing Yacht back on air as so many of us do.

“What the f**k??? Where’s Sailing Yacht? Where’s Below Deck Down Under??? We just got through a Below Deck Med Season. 😡🤯😡 #BelowDeck,” read one X.

The fact that the sailing show was missing and we just had Captain Sandy Yawn on air was a common theme on the social media platform.

“I don’t think we’ve ever had a show that aired a new season 4 months after their last one. #BelowDeckMed,” wrote a user.

The return of Aesha Scott as chief stew garnered mixed reviews on social media.

One user was thrilled to see Aesha in the med especially because it means no more Kyle Viljoen or Natalya Scudder.

“Uh Aesha on med better not mean there is no more down under!!!! Jason & Aesha became the best team! #BelowDeck #BelowDeckMed #belowdeckdownunder,” read an X.

More Below Deck Med comments

Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans are not thrilled with the show not airing next, but some did point out a few good things about Below Deck Med Season 9.

There were plenty of comments about having a new crew other than Aesha and Captain Sandy Yawn.

Excitement over not having Kyle back was expressed more than once.

One fan couldn’t hide their excitement about having Captain Sandy and Aesha back together again.
