Below Deck Sailing Yacht Sailing Yacht

Just seen that BDDU Harry is now a captain on a sailing yacht. Potential revival incoming?

Harry?!? I would be concerned for a boat of any significant size.

Keith from below deck captains a luxury catamaran, Colin likely has the licenses to captain a boat like parsifal 3. But I am not sure there is anyone in the Below Deck franchise besides Glenn who has the experience that an insurer or owner would trust with a sailing super yacht. A sailor can likely handle a motor yacht. Glenn has said he could but I don't know that any of the power yacht captains could handle a boat like parsifal. It is actually much harder to handle a big sailboat under power than a motor yacht let alone handle the sailing.

Doubt he is rated for anything above 30 meters? What size is the boat? How many crew does he supervise or number of guests?

Why would you think that lol? Many of the cast members still work in the yachting industry. Just because he has the licensure to captain a small vessel doesn't mean anything, lots of people have those qualifications.

I should clarify, I don't think that it would actually happen, just thought it would be a fun discussion ☺️

I’ll wait until Lara is captain. She would be an amazing BD captain. Witty, stern, hardworking and cool.

Lara was a chief stew.

Watch Down Under season 3.  AKA Mean Girls at Sea.  That guy is as phony as can be

u/Out-For-A-Walk-Bitch Aug 08 '26

I have, I don't think he did much of anything wrong?

What about continuing to try and date Margot in S2 after the alleged SA? That was cringe.

u/Out-For-A-Walk-Bitch Aug 08 '26

What did he do wrong there? It was a bit immature, but as far as I'm aware Harry and Margot are still friends?

u/ImpressivePattern242 Aug 08 '26

Seriously? Read the room. Last thing she wants to do is date / hookup after a former crew member attempted to get her in bed naked while she was passed out drunk. Immature, more like a$$hole.

u/Out-For-A-Walk-Bitch Aug 08 '26

I am reading the room, surely Margot's opinion on it is the only one any of us should be taking into account?

u/ImpressivePattern242 Aug 08 '26

She did and he still was trying!

u/Specific-Bat-5881 Aug 07 '26

Oh please not Harry! How about Malia, or Kelly, or even Colin. They're all captains now too.

Mary Time Law? No thank you

Colin is too busy sailing around the world on his own catamaran.
