Episode 0 - Captain Lee's Yachtrageous Moments

Below Deck S6 - Capt Lee Rosbach

This 30-minute program stars Captain Lee Rosbach and his crew and highlights the finest and worst moments from five seasons spent at sea. The Captain discusses his favorite yachtrageous tales about the legendary bands and extravagant visitors who have come on board in quest of the pinnacle of luxury and adventure.

Episode 1 - We're Not in the Caribbean Anymore

Below Deck S6 - Capt Lee Rosbach and Kate Chastain

Captain Lee and Chief Stew Kate Chastain welcomed seven new crew members on board the opulent M/Y Seanna. As they depart the Caribbean for the first time ever to explore the Tahitian islands’ beautiful waters. 

Kate has high expectations for her knowledgeable interior crew. Still, bosun Chandler is busy educating a former fisherwoman who is now a third deckhand. For the return of iconic charter visitor Foam Party Steve, neither department is ready.

Naturally, Rhylee Gerber offered to tuck Ashton Pienaar’s nuts, and she ensured it wasn’t the plastic nub of the Ken Doll hiding underneath his jeans. The first argument between Josiah Carter and Caroline Bedol over obtaining Kate Chastain’s affection follows. 

While Kate is speaking to Adrian Martin, Caroline tries to gain her attention about something. Perhaps she doesn’t know how to open a Diet Coke, so Josiah smothers her. Caroline is very clear about her dislike of being silenced.

Episode 2 - Foam, Party of One

Below Deck S6 - Seanna Foam Party

Chandler attempts to establish a rapport with Captain Lee and the My Seanna crew as they continue to indulge Steve Bradley’s erratic behavior. While a full dinner service is in progress, the interior shows some of its fissures. 

Later, while the group enjoys their first night in Tahiti, Chandler is tested to the breaking point by an explosive encounter with Rhylee, and Ashton demonstrates his prowess with women.

Things are not going well for Chandler as he struggles to communicate the chain of command to Rhylee. He takes it personally that he doesn’t think she can work. 

Ross Inia Tmust also resolve his issues with Captain Lee about signaling the incorrect deck while dropping the anchor. After that, Rhylee overhears Chandler grumbling that she probes too much, and Ross needs to step in as bosun.

Episode 3 - I'm Also a Boat Captain!

Below Deck S6 - Rhylee Gerber

Rhylee’s outburst with Chandler puts the entire Deck Team at odds with her. In the meantime, Caroline is consoled by Kate and Josiah after receiving heartbreaking news from home. When an unhappy charter guest returns, Captain Lee and the entire crew of the My Seanna have their work cut out for them.

The following day, Rhylee is still a clownfish, Caroline has recovered herself, and Josiah is still sneeringly evaluating her. Adrian is actually the only person on this boat that is not having problems. He phones her for a pre-charter conversation, and they swoon over one another. 

Episode 4 - Bitch in Charge

Below Deck S6 - Ross Inia

After learning some concerning information, Captain Lee fears Chandler is improperly leading his deck team. After Rhylee crosses the line, Ross confronts her. Caroline, who feels left out, expresses her annoyance to Kate. A growing Ro is suspected by the crew of the My Seanna. Caroline later overhears a chat that drives her into an emotional tizzy.

Ross wants to wait until the following charter to decide what to do with Rhylee, which irritates both Rhylee and possibly Chandler. Ross makes the decision to speak with Captain Lee about the problem personally. Ross is the best deckhand out of the group, so usually, this would be a bad idea, and Captain Lee would scold him. However, Ross seems to have caught Captain Lee’s attention. Ross apologizes to Rhylee and feels horrible for going to Captain Lee.

Episode 5 - Naked Smoothies

Below Deck S6 - Rhylee and Chandler

Rhylee finds it challenging to control her temper as she and Chandler’s disagreements persist. A bunch of social media-obsessed Silicon Valley investors is welcomed on board by the crew. In the most excellent way he can, Ashton tries to warn Rhylee about Kate.

The chain of command is highlighted him. Rhylee asks him for some polite suggestions regarding Kate’s conversational style with her. Despite initially dismissing Ashton’s apologies, Rhylee took time alone to reflect on it.

She then expressed regret to Kate. Caroline had her foot removed in the meanwhile, and when the painkillers start working, she will be back in action in four hours.

Episode 6 - Get Better or Go Home

Below Deck S6 - Rhylee and Ashton

Rhylee and Ashton become increasingly desperate for a change at bosun as the deck crew becomes weary of Chandler’s decision-making. The charter guests can face their phobias by swimming alongside some terrifying ocean animals. 

After a wild night, Ashton passes on Rhylee, and Kate reminds Caroline that her foot needs to recover or she will have to return home. Captain Lee decides to sit down and talk to Chandler when his errors continue to mount.

Episode 7 - New Kids on the Dock

Caroline strives to regain her place in the interior. After being exiled to the guest cabins due to her ailments. Still, Adrian snaps as a result of Caroline’s foul mood.

Episode 8 - Flesh Wounds Are Not Five Star

Chandler still struggles to remain composed. The visitors discovered the sharks were among them as the deck crew after the catastrophe when they took the guests’ shark swimming. 

Chandler offers justifications for the error rather than accepting responsibility for it, and then he berates the team for ruining his reputation. Ashton Pienaar, who is at his wit’s end, asserts that their carelessness is due to a lack of communication and direction. Evidently, Chandler disagrees.

Rhylee Gerber is grateful that someone other than herself is now challenging Chandler’s inflated ego. After saying thank you to Ashton, she asks Ross Inia what he thinks. Ross, unfortunately, has a lifelong sensitivity to drama.

Episode 9 - Insult to Injury

Below Deck S6 - Caroline Bedol

Despite being dismissed, Chandler waved his pink slip proudly as he strode off the boat, thinking he would never see Rhylee Gerber’s fiery red hair again. As a free bird, Chandler is prepared to soar straight into Jamie Jason’s arms.

Episode 10 - Man Overboard

Below Deck S6 - Tyler Rowland

Following two sudden departures of crew members, Chandler and Caroline, My Seanna struggles to complete a successful Charter. As Ross, the newly appointed bosun, clashes with an easily enraged Rhylee, tensions build. 

The ship is turned upside down when Tyler Rowland and Laura Betancourt, two substitute crew members, join the group. Adrian and Ashton fight for Kate and Josiah’s undivided attention as they acclimate to their new stew’s critical nature.

Episode 11 - Let Them Eat Chicken!

The horrific scene of Ashton falling into the water while the rope is entangled around his ankle on Below Deck opens the episode. With great hurry, Rhylee Gerber radioed, “guy overboard.”

Ashton Pienaar now has enough time to swim to the tender. Now, until it’s safe, Ashton must maneuver the tender behind the boat. How close to a life or death crisis there was is described by Captain Lee Rosbach. He can’t imagine having to inform Ashton’s parents that their kid has passed away over the phone.

Episode 13 - I Said I Got It!

Below Deck S6 - Laura Betancourt

Laura had an outburst, so Kate went straight to Captain Lee Rosbach and gave him a choice: fire Laura or resign. He told her that he would talk to her in the morning while remaining calm. He complains that Kate is using up third stews like toilet paper in the master suite and that he simply does not have the time to deal with this trivial conflict. Essentially, Captain Lee is the obscene Dr. Phil of the high seas.

Rhylee ends up giving Laura advice on the value of getting along with one’s bosses in the workplace. What parallel reality, Bravo, are we in right now? Naturally, Rhylee excuses Laura’s screaming at Kate as her way of exerting herself. Rhylee hasn’t actually checked herself. Therefore Laura could have been better off lecturing her friend instead.

Episode 14 - All That Glitters Isn't Gold

Below Deck S6 - Rhylee and Tyler

During the group’s crazy night out, Rhylee and Tyler have a passionate late-night tryst, while Ashton and Laura have problems. Josiah struggles with childhood fears when visitors remind him of the bullies he endured when coming out.

Tyler argues that sleeping in his own bed is being “professional,” but he soon gets scared that Rhylee would suffocate him as he sleeps and use his junk as fish bait, so he slides back down to her bunk.

Adrian is there to tell Laura everything about Josiah’s enormous junk that was protruding from the gold speedo when she eventually gets into bed. Josiah would be packing underneath his prissy and modest persona, according to Laura, who reportedly has a sixth feeling about who has a large one.

Episode 15 - Shame Cocoon

Below Deck S6 - Adrian in the kitchen

Adrian Martin’s take on the Hungry Man meal is being served by Kate as she dons her finest from the Dolly Parton wardrobe. Beet gelee and “charred asparagus” are involved. Evidently, a guest has an issue with the cuisine because Adrian is overworked and fatigued from the inventive cooking.

Although it wasn’t noted on the presence sheet, this guest has just discovered that she is allergic to crab. Adrian must, therefore, rapidly prepare something using mushroom pulp. Josiah Carter and Susan, aka Laura Betancourt, are laughing around as they stand around. Adrian has recently been irritated by everyone having fun. Especially when Laura is having fun.

Episode 16 - Au Revoir!

Below Deck S6 - Krystal Murphy

Each of their breakfast orders falls to Laura Betancourt. This came after Adrian Martin fed her a hearty dose of early-morning sexual harassment. The sophisticated arrangement of 42 various omelet varieties, together with eggs benedict, French toast, and narcissism served with a side of foul denial, is still conveyed by Laura. 

All of it must be given right away since Krystal Murphy is so ravenous that she would spit out one of her buddies if she weren’t good enough. Krystal could pass away immediately after the slide and eat an entire chicken for lunch. This turn of events wouldn’t be lamented by anyone.

Episode 17 - Reunion

Andy Cohen’s crew of the M/Y Sienna is gathered to go through the Below Deck season.
