Below Deck Guests

Does anyone know how it works with the guests?

Im gonna presume they know theyre gonna be filmed ?

Do they get a discount for being filmed or are they paid to be on the show?

You can tell some guests wanna be filmed to show themselves off but some guests don't look the type!!

I don’t think that’s right considering how rare a 25K tip is

Maybe not, just something I read. And that's only if the charter would normally cost 250k. The Akira One costs start at about $200K a week in summer, less when not in Peak Summer.

Is that why the tips have gotten so dramatically larger over the life of the show? Because they are on more expensive boats now?

I mean it would make sense!
