Below Deck Season 8 returns to the Caribbean

By Editorial Team   22 September 2020

Premiering on November 2 on Bravo, Captain Lee Rosbach and his crew are heading back to the Caribbean for Below Deck Season 8 on board the 56m (185') motor yacht 'My Seanna' 

Promising more thrills and spills on the high seas, the hit Bravo reality TV series returns in the Fall in the Caribbean for its eighth season. This is the first time the show has been filmed in these tropical cruising grounds since season 5.

Viewers will be introduced to a number of new faces and getting insight into the world of luxury yacht charter.  In light of the developing Coronavirus crisis, filming for the new season was wrapped up in early March to keep the cast and crew safe.

The first episode of Below Deck Season 8 will air at 9/8c on Bravo on Monday 2 November, with Captain Lee Rosbach eager to get back to one of his favorite cruising spots, saying: "It's been years since I've been in the Caribbean, and I've missed the hell out of it. White sandy beaches, crystal blue water. It's like putting on your favorite pair of blue jeans. It's like going home again."

This will be the first season without Kate Chastain, the popular Chief Stewardess is being replaced by Francesca Rubi, who is described by Bravo as ”a perfectionist who runs a tight ship,”

There is a new face in the galley with “seasoned five-star Michelin chef” Rachel Hargrove joining the ranks.

Other newcomers are stewardesses Elizabeth Frankini, an astrology follower who “finds herself surrounded by bad energy” during the season, and Isabelle ‘Izzy’ Wouters, who finds “sometimes her lack of confidence gets in the way” despite a good knowledge of boats.
