Captain

Captain Sandy is back for another exciting season; this time in the beautiful French Riviera. A Fort Lauderdale native with over 29 years of yachting experience, Sandy is one of only a handful of female captains in the yachting industry, and has overcome both professional and personal obstacles, including a life-threatening motorcycle accident and cancer. But it’s her strength and resilience that helped her beat the odds at every turn, and has also made her one of the most respected captains in the industry. For Sandy, the guests always come first and she will do everything in her power to satisfy their every need. She expects her crew to be buttoned up to perfection and to deliver her signature “seven-star service.” Captain Sandy is ready to lead her new crew in the Mediterranean and to bring her unique management style aboard the new season.

Bosun

João grew up in Zimbabwe in the midst of political strife and corruption, where surviving became a daily objective. Highly motivated to leave that life behind, João got a job doing day work for a boat captain, which began the rapid career trajectory that landed him as this season’s bosun of the Sirocco. While his professional path has been gold star all the way, his personal path has not. This season will prove whether he has learned from his past mistakes and is ready to show to Sandy that he has what it takes to be the best bosun.

Returning deckhand, Colin Macy-O’Toole is ready to take on the South of France and all the challenges that are sure to arise. Colin grew up on the south shore of Long Island, New York and has a degree in music. Although music is his passion, boats are his life. He started working as a deckhand when he was 15 years old, and when he’s not crewing the Sirocco, he is the Ferry/Port Captain in charge of all the comings and goings of all the Fire Island ferries. Colin is single and ready to mingle with his infectious sense of humor. He is a quintessential New York Italian Momma’s boy, who has a very strong connection to his friends and family. This fish out of water may get homesick, but he is excited to continue in learning more about the yachting industry on his new adventure.

Chef

Mila is the first female chef in Below Deck history, and ready to serve her signature French/Mediterranean cuisine to this season’s charter guests. Growing up in Siberia as the daughter of a school teacher, she’s always been encouraged to learn from cultures around the world. It was that curiosity that inspired her to attend Paris’ prestigious Le Cordon Bleu cooking school where she quickly got her first job as a private chef working on a small boat. Although she keeps her kitchen well-maintained and clean, she has a short fuse in the galley, but it’s that same passion that has also given her a love of the sea.

Second Stew

Growing up with four brothers and a sister, Aesha was raised to be loud and gregarious with a bawdy sense of humor and always down to have fun. Growing up in small-town New Zealand, yachting was never really on her radar, however, she was drawn to the adventurous lifestyle. Once she jumped into the industry, she was hooked, and hasn’t looked back since. Yachting for over four years, Aesha began working as a deckhand before moving over to the interior. Though she loves both roles, she prefers working with guests and prides herself on always doing an impeccable job. Whether she’s partying with her friends and fellow crew, diving, exploring various destinations, or flirting with the nearest deckhand, Aesha’s end goal is always the same: to have a blast.

Travis grew up in Perth, Australia, where he decided to leave high school on a pursuit to finding true happiness. After a series of courses and odd jobs, he heard about a deckhand job on a sailing yacht, and for the last eight years has been living the life as a jokester, party boy “yachtie” with a work hard, play harder attitude. As a deckhand, he appreciates good work ethic paired with strong communication skills – if he is going to survive nine charters with his fellow crew, he hopes they’re able to match his skill and keep up with him.
