'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 2 full cast list: Glenn Shephard, Natasha De Bourg and the rest from Bravo show
The salary of a yachtie is impressive but not everyone has what it takes to earn it. Knowing how to efficiently tackle demanding charter guests and rough seas, while following orders and maintaining team dynamics, is an art not too many can master. But the new crop of yachties of 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' can. At least that is what it looks like from the the first-look trailer.
This season is going to be different not because it's a boat load of new faces but the fact that they have to stay on the yacht even when the guests are done. Usually, the team gets a day or two off between charters. The Covid-19-induced lockdown restrictions have forced the showrunners to stick to the vessel for safety purposes. But before we talk more about what to expect from Season 2, let's take a quick look at what to expect from the cast and what are their backstories.

Captain Glenn Shephard
The Montreal native is serious about the title he holds. He is a no-nonsense person but at the same time able to recognize the moments that require him to loosen up and be more of a friend than someone in a leadership role. Captain Glenn is calm and collected most of the times and that is largely because he has 11 years of experience behind him captaining the Parsifal III.
Natasha De Bourg
The Trinidad-based chef had a troubled and difficult childhood but that never stopped her from achieving her goals - being the best at what she does. She finished school in Europe and later landed gigs at Michelin-star restaurants. She was employed as an executive chef in France before she gave it up to be a part of the show.
Daisy Kelliher
Sailing comes naturally to this chief stewardess whose grandfather was an Olympic sailor for Ireland in 1964. Her parents and relatives were in yachting too. What does this mean for the rest of the crew? Daisy is well versed with the business of yachting, which gives her an edge but she also drinks like a true Irish woman and that could cause her to lose focus at times? Let's wait it out.
Colin Macrae
Our chief engineer has worked for eight years on super yachts so he knows what he is talking most of the times. On the surface, he comes as across as someone who is "kind" but let's not take that attribute for granted.
Gary King
Our first mate could also be the party king of the season. His bio on the Bravo site reads: "On one hand, he rules his department with an iron fist but on the other hand, he is never the type to leave a party first." He has 12 years of experience and knows all about his job but what may distract him is his "casual flirtation turned real feelings", which often get him into trouble.
Dani Soares
Second stewardess has eight years of experience behind her. She began her career in yachting after dockwalking for two weeks straight. Dani knows what she is doing and is passionate about work but she's often consumed by emotions and feelings, which come in the way of her moving forward.
Alli Dore
She's a dive master and has experience on the exterior but Alli wants to grow professionally and therefore, has joined the interior team. This will help her resume get a wholesome finish. The Australian is "bubbly and eccentric" and has a "unique perspective" towards life that guides most of her decisions.
Sydney Zaruba
This deckhand is no stranger to the seas. Her parents lived off of a sailboat when she was born. Their family runs a boat business, which she is directly involved in. "They charter a 76-ft schooner named Freedom," her bio reads. Naturally, she takes a lot of pride in having a complete knowledge of sailing. But she has never done it professionally, which makes her story all the more interesting. Sydney is looking forward to it but gets thrown off course when she gets entangled in a messy boatmance.
Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux
Our other "tallest" deckhand could go for a career in NBA if he had the flair for it. He's at 7 feet all. Let's hope that is not the only interesting detail he brings to the mix. His interactions with the rest of the crew will be interesting given that he is also the youngest.
