Below Deck has confirmed the release date for its eleventh season, along with a new cast member.
The reality series follows the lives of crew members on a superyacht, with season 11 set to follow the workers of the St David once more.
As per The Wrap, Below Deck will return to the small screen on February 5, 2024, with the yacht set to welcome a new captain in the form of Kerry Titheradge, who is described as a “disciplined and fair” leader.
The season will premiere with a bumper 75-minute episode, with the returning cast members including Chief Stew Fraser Olender, lead deckhand Ben Willoughby, deckhands Marie ‘Sunny’ Marquis and Kyle Stillie, and stews Cat Baugh, Xandi Olivier and Barbie Pascual.
“Capt. Kerry trades the Nordic Sea for crystal blue waters and stunning waterfalls as he leads his crew in the rich, historical island of Grenada,” reads the logline for the season. “Capt. Kerry has 30 years of experience working on boats and has spent almost two decades in yachting.
“As he steps on to St. David for the first time, Capt. Kerry relies on returning crew members … to help the new staff find their way around the massive 197 ft. vessel.
“In his second season as Chief Stew, Fraser vows to be a firmer leader by delegating more and not worrying himself with befriending his stews.
“However, his new leadership style may not be enough to wrangle the strong personalities in his department. On deck, Ben’s firsthand experience with the ship causes a rift with his Bosun, Jared.
“Meanwhile, Chef Anthony, a Miami restaurateur from France, hopes to breathe new life into the galley. But when a messy kitchen catches Capt. Kerry’s eye during the first charter, the galley reaches a boiling point. Between budding boatmances, explosive nights out and department drama, it’s not all smooth sailing in Grenada.”
