Season 4 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht will have the crew set sail on Parsifal III and navigate the rough waters and the tensions on the charter near Sardina, Italy.

Captain Glenn Shephard will be steering the ship, as he has done for the past three seasons, and will also deal with and manage a dynamic set of cast members.

Returning for his season of the Bravo series are OG department heads - Captain Glenn Shephard, first-mate Gary King, chief stew Daisy Kelliher, and chief engineer Colin MacRae.

They will be accompanied by newcomers Chef Ileisha Dell, stews Lucy Edmunds and Mads Herrera, and deckhands Chase Lemacks and Alex Propson.


Old and new cast members will hop on the charter on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4

The official synopsis of the Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 describes in detail the dynamics between the cast members. It reads:

"Captain Glenn realizes that his laid-back leadership style has allowed his crew to become too comfortable and starts taking charge of quality control in the interior department, much to Daisy's dismay."

The synopsis continues:

"In the galley, Chef Ilesha's cooking impresses the guests, but her indecisiveness and co-dependency lead to time-management issues between courses, which causes her to self-destruct. On deck, strong personalities collide, and a power struggle results in a near mutiny, as Gary clashes with his new overconfident deckhand, Chase."
