About “Below Deck Mediterranean”
“Below Deck Mediterranean” gives viewers a ride on a new boat, new location, and new faces, to give an all access pass to the excitement, drama, and adventure of life aboard a private luxury yacht. Providing unparalleled service to wealthy and uncompromising guests is made even more difficult as the team faces everything from love triangles to seeing fellow crew members shockingly cross the line with guests. Each episode features a new group of elite clientele who present a new set of challenges, all while offering the crew a glamorous lifestyle and exotic perks that most people only dream of experiencing. For these young, attractive, and adventurous yachties, the “work hard, play harder” nature of the job combined with the pressure of working in the most exclusive yachting scene in the world pushes the team close to the breaking point.”
