27 Sep, 2025
Summary
- 'Below Deck' stars name colleagues they'd never work with again
- Tensions and conflicts between crew members revealed
- Captains and crew share insights into the luxury yachting industry

In a revealing new report, stars of the hit Bravo reality series 'Below Deck' are opening up about the toxic coworkers they'd never want to work with again. Captains, stews, and crew members from across the franchise's multiple seasons shared insights into the drama and conflicts they've faced in the high-stakes world of luxury yachting.
Chief stew Kate Chastain, a fan-favorite from the original 'Below Deck' series, joked that there wasn't enough time to name all the castmates she'd refuse to work with again. However, she did provide a partial list, including chef Leon Walker, stew Rocky Dakota, bosun Ashton Pienaar, chef Kevin Dobson, and deckhand Lauren Burchell.
Meanwhile, former chief stew Hannah Ferrier admitted she and stew Bugsy Drake "never really got along" due to clashes like the iPad incident. But Hannah added that she wouldn't completely rule out working with Bugsy again in the future.
Not all 'Below Deck' stars have a banned list, though. Current chief stew Fraser Olender said he'd be open to working with anyone, though he was surprised to see chef Anthony Iracane complaining about him behind his back. And Captain Jason Chambers, who starred on 'Below Deck Down Under,' said he'd even give a second chance to deckhand Adam Kodra, whom he had to let go.
The reports of feuding castmates and challenging work environments offer a rare glimpse into the high-stakes world of luxury yachting that fans have come to love on 'Below Deck.'
