Below Deck

EXCLUSIVE: Bravo is launching a highly anticipated new Below Deck spinoff with a beloved cast.

Daisy Kelliher has been a fan favorite on Below Deck Sailing Yacht for four seasons, known for her fun personality, gift of the gab and ability to handle challenging guests like Erica Rose.

Though she’s made a name for herself on the Bravo spin-off, the Dublin native isn’t ruling out the possibility of joining another Below Deck show, much like Aesha Scott, who moved from Below Deck Med to Below Deck Down Under before returning to her roots.

When asked about working with a different captain in the franchise, Kelliher, 37, told The Standard she views stewing as “just work” and would be “happy” to report to another captain.

“I love sailing, and I’m a sailor at heart, and that’s where my background is in, and I love working with Captain Glenn [Shephard]… but you know for me, it is just work, and I’m transferable, and I’m happy to work with any other of the captains or any of the other franchises.

While she has a soft spot for the seasoned captain, the reality TV star added: “As long as they invite me back, I’ll keep returning to Sailing Yacht. But, yeah, never say never. I’m like, whatever work is work, just another boat, more crazy guests and that’s fine with me.”

Last season, fans saw Kelliher caught in an unexpected love triangle with chief engineer Colin MacRae and first officer Gary King.

Tension flared when King revealed that he and Kelliher had secretly hooked up before season four, just as she started growing closer to MacRae. The South African first mate accused her of getting involved with MacRae to “spitefully” to get back at him.

Although she and MacRae attempted to continue their romance after leaving Parsifal III, the revelation caused a rift between her, King, and the Kiwi engineer. During the reunion last July, when the trio tried to clear the air, Kelliher was brought to tears after MacRae made barbed comments about her and their relationship.

It’s been two years since that season was filmed, yet Kelliher said she still gets messages from fans about the situation, particularly her relationship with MacRae. When asked where things stand now, she admitted: “I would say there’s like nothing.”

“Honestly, we don’t really have—I don’t want to say a friendship— obviously, if he needed something, or anyone, like, there’s no bad blood there. But no, we don’t keep in touch, there’s no reason to.”

Reflecting on the season 4 reunion, she added: “I still stand by a lot of what went down in the reunion. I don’t take any of that back, and I still stand by that so there’s no reason to rekindle any sort of friendship. But there’s also no hard feelings either.”

She continued: “I’m like, ‘You do you, I’ll do me.’ If he needed something, of course, I’d be there. If he texted me, I’d reply. But we’re doing our own thing now.”

“And it does really feel like a lifetime ago now, we’re very much not in each other’s lives. And yeah, it’s fine.”

While she wants to draw a line under that boatmance, Kelliher kept things cryptic about the future of Below Deck Sailing Yacht and when season five will eventually air. “My lips are sealed,” she teased, adding, “I know nothing” about season five or whether she’ll be part of it.

“I don’t know if there is one. I don’t know if I’m on it, if there’s gonna be one. I know nothing, which I know is not what you want to hear.”

Although, her Sailing Yacht captain Glenn Shephard, recently echoed her sentiment, he hinted that fans might not have to wait too long when he spoke to The Standard earlier this week about the delayed installment, which was previously tipped for a February release.

Like Shephard, Kelliher will be making an appearance at the International Boat Show in the UK this Saturday. She’s hosting a cocktail-making masterclass and said she’s “very excited” to be returning to the event, which she called a “great day out” and a fantastic chance to connect with the “awesome boat community.”

“I love being on the sea, and I’ve grown up with being on the water my whole life, so I love encouraging other people to do the same,” she shared. “And yeah, I’m meeting people, and, yeah, soaking up the atmosphere. So, I’m very excited.”
