A boat is nothing without its leader. Over the years, Below Deck fans have become familiar with many captains, and some have made more memorable impressions than others. Premiered in 2013, Below Deck explored the glamorous world of sailing and the not-so-pretty behind-the-scenes situations the crew faces. The first season […]

In the sneak peek clip, Kerry has his hands full as he deals with appointments, demanding guests and the usual Below deck drama. Fraser, meanwhile, seemingly crosses the line by kissing a charter guest, which is usually considered off-limits by most captains.

Fraser and Ben also come into conflict while running their respective departments.

“Please don’t engage in inner drama,” Fraser tells Ben, who replies, “Mate, you’ve let a lot more people go on your side. End of story.”

Later in the video, Kerry appears at her wits’ end with a crew member. “The easiest part of being a captain is steering the boat. The hardest part is the crew,” he says of an undisclosed problem. ‘I’m so damn angry. It is a total disregard for my authority.”

We weekly announced the news in February that Lee would no longer appear on the film Below deck after a period of ten years.

Kerry previously praised his relationship with Lee, who gave him advice about joining the franchise.

“‘Be yourself. Be that same guy I was playing golf with,'” he said Us in February, referring to his first meeting with Lee at a golf tournament. “And then I asked him about social media and how to do it. I said, “I heard I should have someone do it so I don’t get caught up in it.” He says, ‘No, do your own social media. Don’t let anyone do that.’”

I can’t come back from that! The Below Deck franchise has seen its fair share of chaos over the years, but there were some moments that stood out more. During season 7 of the Bravo show, chief stew Kate Chastain and boatswain Ashton Pienaar had a scary confrontation when the latter was drunk after a night of drinking. […]

Kerry recalled receiving support from the OG Below deck star when they crossed paths at BravoCon.

“The show wasn’t out yet, but we started talking and he said, ‘Man, you’re going to do great.’ You’re going to do very well. I see it,” he continued at the time. “He says, ‘You’re going to do a great job in this franchise.’ And then he talked to my daughter. It was cool.”

Lee, for his part, admitted he didn’t expect to leave Below decknarrate Us in May: “That came right out of left field. I didn’t see that coming at all.”

Everyone aboard! Below Deck and its spinoff series have always brought the drama to Bravo fans everywhere since the franchise launched.

At the time, Bravo revealed that the first season averaged over 1 […]

The reality star said he was not given an exact reason for the decision.

“We would like to go in a new direction,” Lee remembers being told about his off-screen departure. “But I mean, that’s kind of a cliché that everyone uses when they’re in a situation where they’re going to let someone go. ‘I’m going in a new direction. We want to freshen it up a bit.” [They are] tired clichés that are overused.”

Lee has since collaborated with former Below deck Co-star Kate Chastain for Bravos Coaching conversation with Captain Lee and Kate. He also does not rule out returning Below deck when he receives a call from the network.

“If they found out they needed me for the show again, I would go back,” he said at the time. “I’ve done it for ten years and I’d actually like to do it – if I’m going to make an exit – on different terms.”

Below deck Season 11 premieres with a super-sized episode on Bravo Monday, February 5 at 9pm ET. New episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
