Below Deck Mediterranean Season 11 Brings Back Familiar Faces, but Several Crew Members Are Missing: Take A Look at the Cast

Captain Sandy Yawn returns for Below Deck Mediterranean Season 11, once again taking charge of the yacht’s crew and operations aboard the M/Y Akira One. A longtime fixture of the series since Season 2, she brings nearly four decades of yachting experience. Known for her calm leadership style, Sandy is also unafraid to step in and enforce the rules when situations call for it.

Aesha Scott returns for Below Deck Mediterranean Season 11 as chief stew. She first appeared as a second stew in Seasons 4 and 5 before departing the series. After a break, she returned in Season 9 as chief stew and has remained a fan favorite ever since, thanks to her upbeat personality, humor, and caring approach to leading the interior team. 

Nathan Gallagher is back for Season 11 after earning a promotion from deckhand to bosun last season. Since viewers last saw him, his relationship with Gael Cameron has grown considerably, with the couple welcoming son Kayden 11 months later. Alongside the demands of new fatherhood, Nathan must manage his leadership responsibilities and confront lingering tensions with Joe Bradley.

Joe Bradley returns for Season 11 after first joining as a deckhand in Season 9 and later earning a promotion to lead deckhand. He came back midway through Season 10 following crew shakeups. Known for stirring up drama with his flirtatious behavior, Joe's actions last season strained his friendship with Nathan Gallagher, creating tension that could carry over into the new season.

Cathy Skinner did not return for Below Deck Mediterranean Season 11. She joined Season 10 midway through the charter season as a third stew when the interior team needed reinforcement. Thanks to her experience and good performance, Cathy was soon elevated to a joint-second stew position before the season came to an end.

Victoria “V” SanJuan also did not return for Season 11. She debuted as a stewardess in Season 10 but soon set her sights on deck work. After two deck crew members were dismissed, V temporarily took on a deck/stew role before earning a full-time deckhand position the following episode.

Max Salvador is not part of the Below Deck Mediterranean Season 11 crew. The deckhand previously appeared in Season 8 before making a return in Season 10. While his latest stint on the series has come to an end, his history of returning to the franchise leaves the door open for a potential comeback in a future season.

Josh Bingham, who joined Below Deck Mediterranean as the yacht’s chef in Season 10, did not return for Season 11. His time on the series lasted just one season before the galley welcomed a new face.

Kizzi Kitchener is not part of Below Deck Mediterranean Season 11. She joined the interior team as a stewardess in Season 10 and later earned a promotion to second stew before departing the series.
