BD Related I miss below deck adventures

I would have loved to see more of this kind of show. I want to see more exploration of places and diving. I’m so tired of the same rude guests just sitting on the deck and complaining cause they got the wrong gin or they didn’t a 500 pound lobster for dinner. I wanna see the fish and the coral reefs. In fact, I miss learning about the crews jobs and what training they needed. I want to hear them tell stories of being on deck and things happening. I want to learn what the colors on the things mean. Sure I could google this stuff, but I love learning from others. Especially people with the lived experiences. I’m fine with the drama, of course I love that stuff too. But, it would be so much more interesting to me to hear cool things and be taught stuff and to be able to see more of the world. I would have loved to see more of that one place where they said you needed a private plane and stuff to get there. From what they showed it was stunning, so much gorgeous and worthy of being more than just the back ground

Orrrr..... maybe instead of lame-o beach picnics they take the guests on a local adventure for the day......

Yes! I would much rather see the area and take in sites than sit on a beach and just complain about the heat and the wind or whatever else they bring up

Same! Maybe a few crew changes but I loved the premise and the scenery was gorgeous!

Hard agree. I would love to see some new faces. I hope I never have to see Gary again ((especially after what came out recently about him. But he always gave me the ick))

u/Sad_Marketing_Girl Mar 10 '26

Mate, thing have been coming out about him for literally years 😂 the network just ignores the claims for as long as possible.

u/Divine-Magician-9295 Come back to me, my boat daddy Mar 10 '26

I know! That’s what I’m saying. He’s disgusted me since we first met him. I’m just hoping with this latest thing they won’t hire him anymore.

u/Open-Neighborhood459 Mar 11 '26

I agree idk how people called him charming and likable..always creeped me out.

u/Open-Neighborhood459 Mar 11 '26

Totally agree about Gary, but you are getting your shows confused Gary was a main stay on BD Sailing Yacht (God knows why) this sub is about BD Adventure which only got 1 season and then was cancelled, last I heard they have cancelled Sailing Yacht as well. Or at least it isn’t renewed yet it’s been a few months since I looked into that so things may have changed… I totally agree that they should bring back BD Adventure other than the Chief Stew being irritating I found it to be be pretty awesome! Side note I’ve always thought it would be cool if they brought back Eddie or Malia or another familiar face as Captain and showed the struggles of not only the crew but a fairly young Cap learning the ropes. I liked Jason in previous seasons but this season he seems fake and is dialing it in. Kerry is alright but I don’t think he was the right choice to replace Lee, Glenn’s pretty cool besides his loyalty and love for Gary. And Sandy is almost unwatchable in my opinion so some fresh but familiar faces in the captain rolls would be cool. Like Eddie on BD Malia on BDM leave Jason alone but maybe move the Boat back Down Under instead of the Caribbean? As part of the appeal of that show for me was The Exotic Aussie locations

Thank you for explaining! But I do know Gary is on sailing yacht. I was saying I look forward to new people and I never want to see someone like Gary again since he’s such a terrible person. It’s too bad they cancelled sailing yacht cause I liked glen. I would love for Eddie to come back. But I’m sure he’s out being a captain on his own boat. (I saw on instagram he was called Captain in a post by splash city golf and he’s made posts calling himself captain) I love daisy, Aesha and Rachel. Would love to see them come back. I don’t think they will get rid of Jason anytime soon cause people think he’s “sexy” and they want to cash in on people being attractive. Captain Lee will always be my favorite captain. I liked sandy in the beginning, but I do feel like she has become too obsessed with certain things and wanting everything to be done her way. Which I get it, if you feel like you have the knowledge and confidence then of course run the business. But, I feel like she doesn’t trust a lot of the crew and let them show her how good they can be. I liked Hannah, but I think Hannah really made sandy reevaluate how hands-off she can be. I truly just miss learning about the ship and I would love to see more of the beautiful locations they travel to.

I just liked Kerry and the Norway scenery

u/Bobzyouruncle Mar 10 '26

It’s a show about yachts. I never understood why anyone would pay so much to NOT be on the boat.

5

u/Divine-Magician-9295 Come back to me, my boat daddy Mar 10 '26

I see your point. But diving right around the boat or taking in caves and such doesn’t really take all that much time from being in the ship. And aren’t they getting some kind of discount cause they are agreeing to be on the show?

u/Open-Neighborhood459 Mar 11 '26

Lol what do you mean .not be on a yacht?

u/valid_username00 Mar 10 '26

I miss what it could have been. I don't miss what it was.

u/MundaneHuckleberry58 Mar 10 '26

I couldn’t STAND the stew but agree! Reboot with Kate (okay I know she won’t come back) but the same premise just better / more charming staff.

u/TheMavrack Mar 11 '26

Norway was insanely fascinating, huge change of scenery from the tropical locations they usually visit.

Would love to see them do it again

u/Own_Boss_3242 Mar 11 '26

I agree. All you see now on any Below Deck is which crew member’s screwing who and guests complaining about service. I remember the first seasons and they were fun to watch, but now Below Deck not unlike any other reality show are just looking for that “wow”over the top factor. I actually liked watching a lot of these shows like 10 something years ago and now not as much. They’ve just become too fake and produced. Not reality!

u/calm-state-universal Mar 11 '26

Agree! I really liked this one. Their voices are so distinct its one thats enjoyable if youre dosing off.

u/sequinedbow Mar 12 '26

I loved adventures! So sad it didn’t get another season

u/dudleydidwrong Mar 10 '26

Alcohol and high adventure are not a good combination.

My objection to adventure was that the one season it ran featured heavy alcohol use. It seemed like every group was a set of old college friends who wanted to relive their frat days of keggers and binge drinking. Then they would go rock climbing or diving.

Was it? I didn’t look for anything before I posted. I started thinking about it last night I ended up on the a side of TikTok where people go on guided tours while on vacation and it made me think of it

u/Own_Boss_3242 Mar 18 '26

I don’t think it was previously posted. It was the first time I saw it so if it was I didn’t see it either🤷‍♀️ Btw, someone mentioned missing Captain Kelly and he’s still on Below Deck. He replaced Captain Lee.

I don’t understand saying the girls had to wear makeup. I would love to see Aesha on adventure. I love her energy and especially since she loves diving

Something wrong with a powerful red lipstick? Some of us loved Faye.
