A Charter Guest Gets "Stuck at Sea" in Shocking Below Deck Med Moment: "I'm Sh-tting Myself"
The Below Deck Mediterranean crew faced a "really embarrassing" moment when a charter guest "floated away" from Mustique.
While the Below Deck franchise deck crews are true professionals, mistakes can always be made. And mistakes seem a little scarier when you're in the middle of the Mediterranean sea.
On the upcoming episode of Below Deck Mediterranean (Season 9, Episode 3), set to air Monday, June 17, deckhand Nathan Gallager takes a guest out on a paddle boarding excursion ... and they stay in the water for longer than anticipated. In the above preview, you can see fellow crew members' reactions to the deckhand and guest getting stranded far, far away from the boat.
"Sh-t, where the hell are these two?" asks deckhand Joe Bradley after charter guests start wondering after their friend Laura. "This is really embarrassing. Oh my God, what are we going to do? This can't be happening."

Nathan Gallagher and a Guest Get Stranded While Paddle Boarding
After paddle boarding out from the ship, Nathan exclaims that they've gone "too far."
"We've floated away," he says to the guest, who confirms his take. A visual proves the yacht is 300 meters away.
"We're trying to row back to the yacht, but we're actually going backwards because the current is so strong," explains the yachtie in a confessional (a good sign that he gets rescued eventually). "So, yeah, we're stuck at sea. I'm sh-tting myself."
What happened during the first Below Deck Med charter of Season 9?
Nathan and the guest drifting out to sea seems to be a major problem — but it's far from the only one the Mustique crew has faced thus far on Season 9.
During their first charter, there were issues on the yacht including cabin leak, laundry mix-ups, and a lack of provisions.
"The first charter, that honestly was probably the most stressed I have ever been in my whole yachting career," Aesha Scott told The Daily Dish in May. "It just felt really unfair because I had put so much time and effort [into] preparing and planning and making sure everything was perfect before I joined. Then the provisions didn’t come, and all of the preparations that I did were pointless because [of] all of these reasons that were totally outside of my control ... I just felt upset because it just felt so unfair."
