'Below Deck Down Under' Season 4 returns with a 'RHOSLC' crossover and a totally reworked crew
'Below Deck Down Under' is officially back for its fourth season, dropping anchor on February 2. Nearly a year after Bravo confirmed the renewal, the fan-favorite spinoff is returning with a stacked crew, a beautiful destination, and a major crossover. This time around, the yacht is sailing into Canouan, a Caribbean hideaway so exclusive it can only be reached by charter plane. Think untouched beaches, blinding white sand, and water so blue it looks unreal. This is billionaire vacation territory, the kind of place where guests expect perfection without ever asking politely for it. Naturally, the crew is about to be tested in ways that go beyond folding towels into swans.
Season 4 opens with a franchise first: a full charter featuring the entire cast of 'The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City'. The crossover was teased months ago during 'RHOSLC', but now viewers will finally see what happens when high-altitude drama meets high-end yachting. Captain Jason Chambers is back at the helm once again, marking his fourth straight season steering superyachts. He knows the drill by now. The guests want magic. The crew wants sleep. And someone always wants to quit. Joining him is a mix of returning and new faces. Betul Yazici steps aboard as a deckhand.
Eddy Hounsell also joins the Katina crew as a deckhand. Interior fans will have plenty to watch, too. Jenna Woudberg enters the season as a stew, while Joe Caron signs on in the same role. However, Joe's absence from the very first charter hasn't gone unnoticed, especially with the 'Housewives' onboard. The reason hasn't been revealed yet. Moreover, Michael Durrant brings an interesting twist as a deck/stew hybrid. Reality TV isn't new territory for him either, as he previously appeared on the UK version of MTV's 'Dating Naked', as per Just Jared. One familiar face making a welcome return is Joao Franco.
Longtime Bravo viewers first met him on 'Below Deck Mediterranean' Season 3, where he worked his way from lead deckhand to bosun. He later joined 'Below Deck Down Under' Season 2 midway through, stepping in as second officer and bosun. Now he's back again in the second officer role. The galley is also heating up with Alesia returning as sous chef after joining Season 3 halfway through. And then there's Chef Ben Robinson, a familiar name across the 'Below Deck' universe. Season 4 marks his third franchise appearance following the original series and 'Mediterranean'.
His return came together at the last possible moment after the originally planned chef backed out. One of the biggest shakeups, though, happens in the interior department leadership. Daisy Kelliher is officially jumping franchises, moving from 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' to 'Down Under' as the new chief stew. Meanwhile, 'Below Deck Down Under' Season 4 premieres February 2 at 8 pm ET/PT on Bravo, with episodes streaming the next day on Peacock. According to USA Today, for viewers watching live, the series is also available through Sling Blue or Sling Orange + Blue subscriptions.
