PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA: Xandi Olivier, a Pretoria, South Africa native with six years of experience in yachting, is all set to make her big debut in 'Below Deck' Season 11.

Xandi, born on November 7, 1990, is an adventurous person who loves to travel and calls herself a "wanderlust" on her social media bio. She also goes by the motto, "The Wolf you feed is the Wolf that wins."

The 'Below Deck' newcomer will be seen celebrating her sixth anniversary in the yachting industry by serving the primary charter guests. As per Bravo's bio, Xandi's favorite off-boat activity is to "try and find stand-up comedy clubs or live music." She noted that if she could, she would be a "professional groupie."

Being close to the family, Xandi calls her brother "kryptonite" whom she misses while on job trips. 

She does not seem to have a huge social media presence and has about 2,000 followers on Instagram. Xandi often posts photos of friends and relatives, hinting that she likes to keep them close.
