There's more to the 'Below Deck Mediterranean' captain than meets the eye.

The Mediterranean may be the "most serious circuit there is" but it's nothing without good leadership. Enter Below Deck Mediterranean's stoic commander and keeper of the peace, Captain Mark Howard! Whether he's yachting around the clear blue waters of the Med, putting out (literal) fires, or just hanging out, Captain Mark is always ready to put his customers' needs before his own and provide the best charter possible. He may be new to Bravo, but we have a feeling he'll be a fan favorite in no time! Here are the seven things you need to know about Captain Mark before #BelowDeckMed premieres on May 3 at 9/8c.

Mark is a captain on the sea and in the air!
2. He Knows Your Favorite Yachties

3. He's Not 'On Board' with Crew Romances
