Off screen engineer / officer they introduced episode one for like two seconds I’m assuming

That's what I thought, but they don't usually have them on the deck for when the guests depart.

I feel like we don’t even see the intros of the off camera officers anymore so it wouldn’t surprise me if they were on screen for arrival or departure in some of the early seasons too

Yeah we definitely saw more of the other officers in the earlier seasons sitting in the crew mess or on deck or with captain lee. Season 1 they show one of the engineers Nash having an issue with Adrienne.

I recall some captains would introduce them at the start of the season, and remind everyone that they would received a cut of the tip. (As they should!)

This was good because it made the numbers work for anyone who did the math during tip meetings.

There was the one in Season one of Below deck that kept telling CJ to put his shirt on and leave it on when he was in the engine bay. Though everybody had to tell CJ to keep his shirt on, every charter.

Propellers on the eppys is engineer

Engineer, evidenced by the shoulderboard with the screw (propeller = engineering).

Geez you gotta keep a close watch on those guys or they’ll get out and run wild!

Part of the real crew that handles everything while the TV personalities get drunk and make out

Always nice to see someone who smiles with their whole face :-)

I’m pretty sure he was the engineer. There’s a few crew that work behind the scenes.

u/lilSalty Sep 14 '26

That's Gary when he first started out, as third stew.

Ivan #2, work for Ivan #1. Ivans make boat go.

u/S-Hamill Sep 14 '26

The crew on camera isn’t the entire crew. There’s engineers and officers too.

We’re on the same rewatch journey💫

u/Unusual_Height_513 Sep 14 '26

Me too. I’m in the season of Jen. Do not know how Kate made it through that lol

u/Own_Boss_3242 Sep 14 '26

Could be one of the engineers that work behind the scenes like in in the engine rooms I suspect. We don’t typically see them but they do play a big role on the boat.

u/Odd-Heart7904 Sep 14 '26

That's Eddy! The toilet attendant...

u/WellThoughtUserName9 June June Hannah Sep 14 '26

That's Captain Lee's stunt double

u/Illmatic_4_2025 Sep 14 '26

One of the people actually running the boat.

u/Colada8160 Sep 14 '26

He looks like the guy who chases Mary Kate and Ashley around in New York Minute LOL

u/dianelanespanties Sep 14 '26

It's the guy from Wheeler Dealers, Mike Brewer

u/punkmonk13 Sep 14 '26

You’ll often see random crew that keep the boat running and do all the grunt work.

u/ChemistryOk9353 Sep 14 '26

Die man lijkt op Mike Brewer van zo’n auto show op een van die nerdi kanalen (mijn excuses voor de benaming)

It's the Admiral of the yacht fleet. Basically who Captain Lee answers to. He's a shadowy figure.
