“Below Deck Down Under” is returning to Bravo with a new season set in Canouan — and Captain Jason Chambers is once again leading the crew as the yachties prepare for another round of demanding charters and high-pressure drama.
Chambers returns as captain for the new season, and the season’s cast includes several familiar names from the broader “Below Deck” universe. The new crew lineup features Chef Ben Robinson, Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher, and Second Officer João Franco, along with Sous Chef Alesia Harris, stew Joe Caron, stew Jenna Woudberg, deckhand/stew Mike Durrant, deckhand Eddy Hounsell, and deckhand Betul Yazici.
‘Below Deck Down Under’ Season 4 Cast Includes Daisy Kelliher and Chef Ben Robinson
The returning and new crew members will make their debut in Canouan, with Bravo teasing both workplace tension and personal storylines as the season unfolds.
Daisy Kelliher’s official bio describes her three-word summary of the season as: “Chaotic, fun, confrontational.” She also confirmed she watches “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” and “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” and described her best friend on board as Jenna Woudberg. Kelliher said her first impression of the vessel was simple: “A lot of stairs.”
Robinson brings decades of yachting experience into the galley, and Bravo has already teased tension involving the chef and Kelliher, with the season expected to show their working dynamic under pressure.
João Franco, who joins as Second Officer, also hinted at the intense reality of high-end yachting life while discussing costs on board. “The amount of money spent is unfathomable,” he said in his official bio. “I burn €4,500 (nearly $5,000) an hour on fuel alone. Small champagne buckets are €30,000 (nearly $33,000). It’s crazy!”
The season is also expected to include new personal storylines, including developing boatmances. Bravo teased that one relationship will involve Kelliher and Franco.
BDDU Season 4 Introduces New Stews and Deckhands
Season 4 also brings several new faces to the interior and deck teams, with Bravo teasing big personalities and plenty of pressure as the crew adjusts to life on board.
Joe Caron joins the interior as a stew and described “Cooking” as one of his special skills. The Montreal native said he enjoys “Watersports, yoga, pilates, drinking spritzes with girlfriends” during downtime and noted that one surprising part of working on a yacht is the professional networking opportunities. “Networking with guests, a lot of opportunities, a lot of connections,” Caron said. He also recalled a unique moment from a past charter, saying, “Guests found a bottle with a note inside that was dated from 2014.”
Jenna Woudberg also joins as a stew, bringing experience on private small motor yachts. She called the vessel “a big girl — very intimidating for someone that comes from small boats,” and summed up season 4 in three words: “Money, madness, meltdowns.” Woudberg also highlighted what viewers might not realize about the yachting lifestyle. “Everyone believes you travel and see the world, but in fact, you almost never touch land,” she said. “You’ll sail past the world’s most insane destinations and think, ‘Wow, that looks amazing.’ Then, you’ll turn around and polish a glass for the 47th time.”
On deck, Mike Durrant has a dual role as a stew/deckhand and said he has “5/6 years experience in the yachting industry,” including work “mainly as an onshore engineer.” Durrant listed dancing and back flips among his special skills and summed up the season as: “Chaotic, outrageous, fun.”
Eddy Hounsell joins as a deckhand and admitted he watched RHOSLC while preparing for the season. “I had to watch RHOSLC to understand what they were arguing about!” he said. He also joked that his best friend on the boat is either “Mike, or the slide.”
Betul Yazici rounds out the deck team as a deckhand from Istanbul, Turkey. Her special skills include “Cooking, belly dancing, house decor,” and she joked that her closest companions onboard are “My shammy, Chips, and Jason.” Yazici also shared one of her most memorable guest experiences, saying, “I met Sharon Stone.”
‘Below Deck Down Under’ Season 4 Will Show a New Angle on RHOSLC Trip Drama
Bravo said season 4 will include “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” crossover drama stemming from the cast’s trip, giving viewers another perspective from inside the yacht.
The network noted that audiences have already seen the RHOSLC cast’s side of the story, and season 4 will show the Below Deck crew’s point of view during moments of tension, including shouting and conflict that occurred during the charter.
Captain Jason Chambers, who has worked in the yachting industry for 25 years, also gave fans a glimpse into his life off the boat through his bio, listing “Freediving and exploring” among his favorite activities and naming “Papua New Guinea” as his favorite place he has traveled on charter. When asked what he misses most while traveling for work, Chambers shared a personal answer: “My daughter.”
With a new charter location, a sizable crew, and multiple storylines already teased, “Below Deck Down Under” season 4 is positioned to continue the franchise’s mix of high-stakes hospitality and reality TV tension.
Bravo confirmed that “Below Deck Down Under” season 4 will premiere on Monday, February 2, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The debut will air as a 75-minute supersized episode on Bravo and stream the next day on Peacock.
