Captain Glenn and the crew of the Parsifal III set sail again.

Captain Glenn and the crew of the Parsifal III are back for another season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht . This time the yacht is setting sail in lovely Sardinia, Italy, and even though it's a beautiful location, don't expect calm seas. This season, anything can happen.

Although, it looks like the Parsifal III has some challenges this season that puts Captain Glenn and the crew through their paces. 

Here's everything we know about Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 cast

Captain Glenn Shepherd returns to helm the Parsifal III. This is his fourth season on the series, but he's no stranger to the ship. He's been helming the Parsifal III for over a decade. 

Captain Glenn will be joined once again by Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher, first mate Gary King and engineer Colin MacRae. 

New to the series are chef Ileisha Dell, stews Lucy Edmunds and Mads Herrera and deckhands Chase Lemacks and Alex Propson. 

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 plot

Bravo offered this synopsis of Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 and it gives you a good sense of what's coming in the new season: 

"Capt. Glenn and his comeback team Daisy Kelliher, Gary King and Colin MacRae resume their responsibilities aboard Parsifal III, along with new, dynamic crew members, as they set sail in Sardinia, Italy. Capt. Glenn realizes that his laid-back leadership style has allowed his crew to become too comfortable and starts taking charge of quality control in the interior department, much to Daisy's dismay. 

"In the galley, Chef Ileisha’s cooking impresses the guests, but her indecisiveness and co-dependency lead to time-management issues between courses, which causes her to self-destruct. On deck, strong personalities collide, and a power struggle results in a near mutiny, as Gary clashes with his new overconfident deckhand, Chase. 

"Two overlapping love triangles further complicate the dynamics on-board, and a shocking hookup puts Colin, Daisy and Gary’s friendship in jeopardy. With a near collision, fire, crew rebellion, gruesome guest injury and two different potentially season-ending engine failures, this is the most captivating and unpredictable season yet of Below Deck Sailing Yacht ."

Below Deck Sailing Yacht’s Daisy Kelliher shares safety message after sister Bonnie injured in accident

Below Deck Sailing Yacht star Daisy Kelliher has shared a safety message after her sister Bonnie was seriously injured in an accident in Thailand.

Bonnie appeared on Season 4 of the hit sailing show to visit Daisy and enjoy a crazy night out with the Parsifal III crew.

As Monsters and Critics previously reported, the fan-favorite Chief Stew even switched up her look, which suits her perfectly.

However, earlier today, Daisy got candid about something her family has been going through with Bonnie.

Taking to Instagram, Daisy didn’t hold back with a warning for fans in two posts.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht’s Daisy Kelliher revealed her sister Bonnie was in the hospital

In the first post, Daisy shared three pictures of her with Bonnie. The first two were of the sisters hanging out and having a good time with smiles all around, while the last one was a fun group shot.

“*Warning* ⚠️ upsetting message part 12 .5 weeks ago my sister had an accident in Thailand. I got a message on instagram from a friend of hers telling me she had been in an accident with no other information this was on the Friday and it had happened on the Thursday, by Saturday my parents were on a flight to her,” began her first IG message.

The Irish beauty didn’t want to go into too much detail but shared that Bonnie has undergone several surgeries on her face, chest, and brain, as well as two emergency surgeries that lasted over 12 hours.

Bonnie has been released from the ICU but remains in the hospital.

Daisy Kelliher from Below Deck Sailing Yacht shares safety message to fans

In a separate Instagram post, Daisy shared that she had made her way to Thailand to be there for Bonnie and her parents. Daisy spent Bonnie’s 34 th birthday by her sister’s side, grateful Bonnie was alive, considering the severity of her injuries.

“The only reason I am sharing this information (with my families permission) is to promote a few things. For anyone who might see this who is going on holiday or travelling or anything like this. Please don’t get on the moped and if you do wear a helmet and have insurance (no helmet, no insurance).” read part of Daisy’s caption.

The chief stew admitted over the past few days that she and her parents have seen many people admitted to the hospital Bonnie is at who have not been as lucky as her.

Daisy also explained the importance of friends sticking together.

It turns out Bonnie’s friend was the one who realized Bonnie hadn’t come and then went out to find her. The friend discovered Bonnie had been in an accident. The friend called Daisy and her parents.

“If it wasn’t for her things could have been different. She was so fast acting and a huge support to my family. So always always check on your friends,” Daisy wrote.

Before ending her message, Daisy explained Bonnie’s in a great hospital and on her road to recovery. She also expressed that she told the story in hopes of preventing others from what Daisy, Bonnie, and her family are going through right now.

“DO NOT GET ON THE BIyKE and if you do WEAR A HELMET have TRAVEL INSURANCE,” she stated.

Daisy Kelliher has a warning for Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans after her sister Bonnie Kelliher was seriously injured in a moped/scooter accident.

Here’s wishing Bonnie a safe and speedy recovery.

Below Deck Med spoilers: Bri and Ellie are crushing on Joe and a charter guest lost at sea

Below Deck Med continues to come in hot, and we are only less than a handful of episodes into the new season.

The drama has been intense since the premiere episode with a provision disaster and boatmances kicking off Below Deck Med Season 9.

That doesn’t appear to be changing anytime soon, as Bravo has given Below Deck Med fans a glimpse at a love triangle brewing and charter guest chaos.

As Monsters and Critics previously reported, Below Deck Med spoilers reveal a return charter guest in Gigi Fernandez that has chef Johnathan “Jono” Shillingford feeling the pressure.

It turns out that’s just the tip of the iceberg for the St. David crew regarding the next charter.

Deckhand Nathan Gallager takes a guest on a little excursion, which makes the crew panic.

Below Deck Med charter guest lost at sea

Thanks to a preview video, Below Deck Med fans got a glimpse of what happens when Nathan takes charter guest Laura paddle boarding. Nathan, though, manages to get them too far away from the Mustique yacht only to have the current shift.

When they try to paddle back to the yacht, they can’t make any headway because of the current.

“We’re trying to row back to the yacht, but we’re actually going backwards because the current is so strong, So, yeah, we’re stuck at sea. I’m s**ting myself,” Nathan shared via his confessional.

Deckhand Joe Bradley begins to freak out after the guests grow concerned about Laura because they can’t see her in the water anymore. After calling for bosun Iain Maclean to come to the swim platform, Joe tries to reassure the guests that everything will be fine.

However, in his confessional, Joe takes a different take on Nathan and Laura being stranded.

Below Deck Med love triangle in the works

Meanwhile, another preview video for Below Deck Med Season 9 hints at the drama between Ellie Dubaich and Bri Muller because of Joe.

On the first crew night out, the two women made it clear that they had the hots for the deckhand. Well, things are amped up a bit as Bri flirts with Joe in the crew, only to seek advice on flirting from Ellie.

In their cabin, Ellie asks Bri point blank if she’s got her eye on Joe, to which Bri explains she just wants flirting advice in general.

Via her confessional, though, Bri’s singing a different tune about Joe as Ellie stakes her claim on Joe in her confessional. Oh yes, a boatmance triangle is coming, and it will be a s**t storm.

To see the full preview video, click here.

Make sure to keep watching to see what craziness unfolds on the hit-yachting show.

Below Deck Med airs Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo. Seasons 1-9 are streaming on Peacock.

Drifting Standards

Capt. Sandy welcomes back a charter guest with high expectations. A deckhand and a guest drift too far away at sea, leaving Capt. Sandy questioning her bosun. As the yacht crew scrambles to address the guests’ requests, the primary charter guest complains the food has not met their expectations.

Below Deck’s Captain Sandy Isn’t Happy When Guest Floats Too Far From Boat: ‘This Is Embarrassing’

Captain Sandy Yawn wasn’t thrilled with some of the Below Deck Mediterranean team when a situation left a guest stranded away from the boat for 45 minutes.

During the Monday, June 17, episode of the hit Bravo series, bosun Iain Maclean was excited about the progress the deck crew was making.

“The season is still early but I have a really good team,” he said in a confessional. “Everyone is improving and things are going smoothly. No one is an idiot.”

It didn’t take long for an issue to come up when the guests wanted to play in the water. In addition to swimming, the exterior team prepared the slide, multiple WaveRunners and paddle boards. Deckhand Nathan Gallager was asked by a guest to join him on a separate paddle board in the ocean while the others stayed closer to the boat.

While both Joe Bradley and Gael Cameron initially had their eyes on the guests, Iain sent Gael for a three-hour break and seemingly didn’t notice that Nathan was nowhere in sight . Nathan and the guest were then seen getting worried about how far they had floated from the Mustique.

“It’s too far. We floated away,” Nathan said before elaborating to the cameras. “We are trying to row back to the yacht but we are actually going backwards because the current is that strong. So yeah, we are stuck at sea. I am s—ting myself.”

Joe was the first one to notice Nathan’s disappearance, saying, “Where the hell are these two? This is really embarrassing.” Before Iain was alerted to the issue, Nathan and the guest were already on their way back after hitching a ride on a catamaran.

Sandy, however, wasn’t pleased to hear that a guest was stranded for 45 minutes.

“This doesn’t make me happy. This is embarrassing,” she told Iain about the mistake. “No one really was watching them. Lesson learned.”

After Joe took responsibility for not noticing where Nathan was, Sandy explained why Iain was more to blame , adding, “I appreciate that Joe was accountable, but that goes back to Iain. You need two people watching the guests at all times. It is Iain’s job to delegate a watch person.”

She continued: “I am not happy. Always have your eyes on the guests if they are on any toys. The person in a tender follows them, make it a priority.”

Season 9 of Below Deck Mediterranean has gotten off to a rocky start in every department . Initially, the issue was with the provisioning company which left the interior team with none of the items that they needed for their first charter.

“I understand that sometimes you can’t get everything that the client requests. You are in different parts of the world with different stuff stocked. It is abnormal to not receive a shipment of wine and rosé,” she noted earlier this month. “Considering how badly this provision company messed up, we are going to need some changes after this charter.”

Sandy was also caught in the middle when Chef Johnathan Shillingford wouldn’t wake up to make food for guests late at night. The captain defended Johnathan but second stew Elena Dubaich got upset as a result.

“I bust my ass and it all became about waking up the chef,” Elena said through tears. Johnathan also reacted to the issues between him and Elena while on a phone call with someone, saying, “This bitch is going to drive me crazy.”

Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 airs on Bravo Mondays at 9 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Peacock.

Below Deck Mediterranean Recap: Cold Eggs

Below deck mediterranean.

Tonight’s episode mostly feels like a setup for more exciting things to come, and I don’t despise anyone yet, so that’s promising. The action resumes with Gael and Nathan trying to secretly meet up for a “strawberry” at 2:52 a.m. She thinks she’s in the clear, then is surprised by a camera-and-sound-operator duo. I love when we get a glimpse of the crew members. They ask if Gael needs to be mic’d up, and she lies that she’s just getting water and won’t speak to anyone. Nathan waits in the bosun’s locker and naïvely claims there are no cameras on the deck. She’s spooked that she got caught and texts him, deciding to call it a night. This raises a philosophical question: Does it matter if someone does the right thing for the wrong reasons, or should we just appreciate that they got there somehow? In the morning, Gael feels awkward about the whole thing and regrets not going straight to bed. She calls her boyfriend but doesn’t mention the Nathan temptation. Since we’re in the land of Socrates and Plato, it’s only natural the moral-debate opportunities keep coming: Are lies of omission really lying?  

In less of a gray area, Sandy acts decisively and switches provisioners. Aesha is thrilled everything arrives on time. Is it dumb that I’d actually be interested in seeing more of the logistics of placing these orders? The preference-sheet meeting is only two and a half hours before the charter starts, so I have to assume they’re getting specialized requests in before then and just rereading for the camera. Unless someone else is placing the orders … scandalous, if true. The primary is Gigi Fernandez, a tennis player and former charter guest on Below Deck season ten, episodes five and six , during which she iconically brought her Olympic gold medal on vacation. She and Sandy became friends after that charter, and she’ll have higher expectations than the first group of guests. Gigi is Zendaya in Challengers , and the crew is the two boys taking turns disappointing her.

Disappointment No. 1: lunch. Per the guests’ request, it’s Mexican cuisine, and I’m worried the second I see Jono put ground cardamom in the rice. Gigi notices the distinct taste and doesn’t like how overbearing it is. Another guest compares it to Indian curry, a dish that is traditionally much more likely to have cardamom.

Disappointment No. 2: lost paddleboarders. Nathan and guest Laura paddle too far out and can’t get back to the Mustique because of a strong current. They hitch a ride back on a catamaran, which is not a good look. Joe owns that it was his fault for not telling Nathan to come closer. Sandy thinks it’s also on Iain and reminds him to always have two sets of eyes on the guests. Iain blames his underlings, forgetting that he told Gael to take a break, so there were only two people on swim-platform duty. Nathan and Joe are getting annoyed by Iain’s micromanaging, while the bosun is frustrated because he feels like he has to tell or show them how to do everything. Iain would rather be dressing up at a music festival. He doesn’t seem to take criticism well, and I don’t want to pile on, but that photo of him as a wizard looked more like January 6.

The galley and exterior may be slipping, but Bri is improving. She takes Ellie’s advice and uses a notebook to keep track of the guest laundry. Ellie and Aesha are happy she’s receptive to coaching. In addition to bed-making skills, Bri also wants Ellie to teach her how to be flirty. Ellie asks if it’s for Joe, and Bri says no — just in general. But in confessional, Bri is definitely interested in Joe, just like Ellie is. Going after the same boy? It’s giving Challengers yet again. (That’s the last reference, I promise.)

Disappointment No. 3: The yoga setup is too cramped. You can’t comfortably do a sun salutation without hitting the person on the neighboring mat. None of the guests actually said anything about this, but I’m counting it as something they must have been thinking.

Later, Aesha is about to serve dinner with the stews still in their red shirts. Sandy goes, “You didn’t want to put your uniform on for this?” They change quickly to blacks, and the captain joins them for synchronized service, leading us to …

Disappointment No. 4: dinner. There must have been at least one first course we weren’t shown, right? The first we see is a chicken entrée. Sandy doesn’t think chicken should be served on a superyacht — it’s not luxury food. Gigi says it has too much rosemary, and everyone eats in silence, conspicuously not complimenting the food. Aesha knows this is a bad sign, but the guests are positive when she asks how it was. For dessert, Jono makes a chocolate sponge cake he introduces as “deconstructed”; it doesn’t look experimental at all, just in rough pieces. The diners think it’s both not chocolaty enough and too intense of a flavor. Gigi has a savage read on it: “When you call something deconstructed, it just means it didn’t work out.”

Post-dinner, the ladies partake in a toga competition. Aesha theorizes that ancient Greeks wore them because the open design would be convenient for orgies. I have to fact-check here and say that togas are Roman, not Greek. This doesn’t matter because most of the women on the charter don’t wear togas, either. They have bought toga-esque dresses, while the crew competes in a timed toga-making contest. It seems to be a good time, and the guests go to bed at 12:15 a.m. They ask for huevos rancheros at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow.

Disappointment No. 5: breakfast. Jono has it ready, but none of the guests are awake. The eggs sit out for an hour and a half. Disgusting! The FDA sets two hours as the danger zone, or one hour if above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, so this just seems too close a call with foodborne illness. And, of course, they’re cold. Gigi sends her eggs back and asks for hot ones. She tells Sandy about it and critiques yesterday’s food. Sandy believes Gigi wouldn’t complain just to complain and is going to “fix it,” which means talking to Jono about it … next episode.

From the Galley

• Gigi is actually not the only tennis player onboard: All the friends play. “ I think we ALL sing ” vibes. One brags that her tennis partner is Biden’s next-door neighbor. Okay, and?

• Should Aesha be dialing back the crass humor with guests? They laugh at her warning to pencil dive/jump, because “you don’t want to, like, tear your anus or anything,” but don’t seem to enjoy all the butt-plug–necklace jokes.

• “One-hundred cement.” —Iain
