Bravo's hit reality show 'Below Deck' is back with Season Nine to give us the scoop on all the craziness that goes down in the lives of crew members aboard a luxury yacht during charter season. The crew members have to deftly juggle between the crazy demands of the guests while ensuring that their personal lives don’t affect their professional lives. 

Set on the stunning waters of St. Kitts in the Caribbean, superyacht My Seanna welcomes back veterans Eddie Lucas, in his new role as first officer, alongside chef Rachel Hargrove who is ready to redeem herself after a memorable last charter season. A fresh crop of yachties include new chief stewardess Heather Chase, stews Jessica Albert and Fraser Olender and deckhands Jake Foulger, Rayna Lindsey and Wes O’Dell. Before we get into the details of the new 'Below Deck' Season, if you're interested in catching up on other similar shows then check out: 'Below Deck: Mediterranean', and 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht'.

What is 'Below Deck' Season 9 all about

When an unexpected delay leaves Captain Lee stranded on land, Captain Sean Meagher steps in to oversee the ship with a “hands-on” management style catching the crew off guard and yearning for the “Stud of the Sea’s” swift return. Fresh off his promotion, Eddie’s new role as first officer gets derailed when he quickly realizes he might have to pull double duty on deck if he wants his team to succeed. Chief stew Heather is eager to deliver her guests an unforgettable experience, but when one of her stews becomes severely unmotivated, she must hustle to pick up the slack and maintain her five-star service. In order to move forward, chef Rachel must tend to some unsavory leftover beef with Eddie from last season. As department “boat-mances" blossom, alliances form and bonds are broken, this crew proves the Caribbean seas are as choppy as they are clear.
