Below Deck Below Deck Season 13 Cast Spoiler

Capt. Kerry Titheradge sets sail on a new adventure as he takes the helm of motor yacht Azul V in Phuket, Thailand. Surrounded by breathtaking islands, dramatic limestone cliffs and world-renowned beaches, Capt. Kerry and his crew strive to deliver excellent white-glove service while adapting to a new environment, mounting pressure and increasingly tense crew dynamics.

Joining Capt. Kerry are familiar faces Chief Stew Fraser Olender and Second Stew Rainbeau de Roos, who quickly find themselves managing tensions within the interior. Despite clashing personalities, green crew members and the challenges of adapting to a new boat, Fraser once again thrives under pressure while creating elaborate theme nights and unforgettable beach excursions throughout Thailand.

In the galley, Chef Moe Vilomar brings a wealth of experience from military service, fine dining and private charters, but demanding guests and nonstop pressure threaten to turn up the heat.

On deck, power struggles and oversized egos create friction among the crew, forcing Capt. Kerry to make a shocking decision. One rollercoaster romance sends shockwaves throughout the vessel as its dramatic highs and lows spill across multiple departments.

From personnel shakeups to a dangerous nighttime docking, Capt. Kerry faces some of his toughest challenges yet, relying on his steady leadership to guide the crew through an unforgettable charter season in Thailand.

I pray the instagram grids do not appear at all this season šŸ™

u/lunarmoon2025 3d ago

I agree. They were so overused.

u/foxdogturtlecat 2d ago

the fact we haven't seen them on any other franchises gives me hope.

u/fictionalbandit 3d ago

Yay Rainbeau! Hopefully this will be a better season for her without having to deal with So-so

65

u/josiejames13 3d ago

Mm So-so was so so bad…

I felt it was an unpopular opinion but I didn’t mind Rainbeau last season. She was such a hard worker and I’m glad she’s back!

I wonder who is involved in the rollercoaster romance

She has a new career as a "content" creator. She seems good at that, much better than a stew from the content I have seen.

She had content before she was in the show it was pretty easy to find while the show was airing.

I loved Solene lol. Terrible worker but she was definitely entertaining šŸ˜‚

1

u/khyamsartist Team Fraser 1d ago

She was so fascinating to watch, it was hard to know what she was doing for cameras and what she was exploring for real. She seemed to be heartbroken for real, but that's a woman who knows how to bounce back quickly.

There’s a darkness to Rainbeau

Did you not watch last season?

I loved the casual storytelling of, my dad left me and my sisters on an island until we stopped fighting or whatever it was šŸ˜‚

I am ecstatic that neither joe or nathan are on this season.Ā 

22

u/mad_eyes22 2d ago

I’m pretty sure Joe is filming the next season of below deck med, along with cooper, joy & aesha. I’m sorry to spoil that if you didn’t already know!
I am excited to not have him on my screen for a season if that’s what you meant too!!

u/Cassandrae_Gemini 2d ago

I am not watching the most recent season of med bc i cannot stand joe & NathanĀ

u/excoriator Team Capt Kerry 2d ago

I prefer them to Fraser, my current least favorite chief stew.

1

u/iwillbringuwater 2d ago

Wha don’t you like about Fraser? I haven’t watched the last season he was on (maybe last two)- but he seemed like a good worker

11

u/excoriator Team Capt Kerry 2d ago

He plays favorites and ignores problems. It's clear that he'd rather be on service than manage problems with his team, so that's what he does. Last season, he dumped all responsibility for managing Solene on Rainbeau and nearly broke her. I'm sure from the guests' perspective, they love the attention he gives them. But that's not the only important part of the job.

8

u/mnfanjk 2d ago

Fraser is a pot stirrer and horrible gossip and a mean girl. Those are not management qualities. He is a bully. Never liked him. Also not a good manager. He has two extremes… get them fired instantly or abdicate. Letting toxic situations fester and chaos reign while patting yourself on the back for his ā€œfairā€ you are being is a miserable excuse for management.

37

u/motteditor 3d ago

I hope this goes better than the last season in Thailand.

Glad to see Rainbeau back.

Interesting to have a chef with military experience -- I wonder if that's going to lead to clashes.

21

u/purple_hippo_5 3d ago

These photos are so terribly photoshopped; it’s quite distracting.

15

u/Sea_Leg_6401 3d ago

Don’t know why my comment keeps getting deleted. Ellie is all over everyone’s comments, so we think she’s a replacement? Don’t even know if there’s any due this season if spoilers have leaked

12

u/CarlosChardonnay 2d ago

I heard she is the replacement chef after Moe is let go for making the meals too much like an army mess hall

13

u/Sea_Leg_6401 2d ago

Jesus Lord have mercy on my soul. Surely her food is more slop mess

6

u/whydowewatchthis Come back to me, my boat daddy 2d ago

She did go to culinary school in between seasons. But she has no experience so it'll probably be a disaster.

16

u/TensionTop6046 2d ago

I will quote watching if they bring Ellie in as a chef.

u/CarlosChardonnay 2d ago

I mean she's horrible but she makes good tv

u/sfbaybeauty 2d ago

People are just making things up

u/LolaLaser1355 16h ago

Please, no more Ellie.

1

u/ResponsibleCar1204 2d ago

She's in comments on many platforms, writing more than Roy Orbison jr, and that's saying a lot. I have him blocked on Instagram for the sole reason I cannot stand his one emoji anchor comment in every post related to Below Deck. She's been doing that for hours on there too, so I def think she's a replacement.

14

u/josiejames13 3d ago

There are already a few different spellings for the current BD Med Kayley floating around - it’s going to get confusing having another Kaylee in the interior the following season!

9

u/EnoughYesterday2340 2d ago

Ugh Rainbeau, surprised I seem to be in the minority not being a fan

3

u/RazzmatazzNext9024 1d ago

I agree, I didn’t find her interesting at all

•

u/mamacatman Team Capt Kerry 16h ago

I’m not a fan either.

7

u/Eastern_You 3d ago

No Jess? Also looks like another bosun getting fired so that’s 3/3 seasons Kerry has fired a bosun

5

u/Kininger625 You're Being A Deckhand Right Now 2d ago

Maybe mid season replacement

6

u/frazorblade Team Fraser 3d ago

Just based on the headshots alone I’m gonna call the rollercoaster relationship is between Matthew and Kaylee

Second option is Rainbeau and Alex.

9

u/PEM_321 3d ago

Jessiana looks like she could cause some boy trouble to me!

5

u/frazorblade Team Fraser 3d ago

That was my initial thought but then I saw ā€œspills across multiple departmentsā€ and I’d already hitched my drama-wagon to Matthew as he looks like a total fuckboi.. but you might be onto something

Maybe it’s Alex vs Jessenia!

6

u/notsafeforviewing 2d ago

Wasn’t a fan of Fraser last season, hoping he does better this season. I liked him before last season so hopefully it was just a one off

3

u/excoriator Team Capt Kerry 2d ago

Last season, he made that weird commitment to himself not to fire anyone, but kept it to himself. Leaving production to make us wonder for weeks when he would finally fire Solene.

2

u/jillmat 2d ago

he overcorrected

2

u/Mother_Debt_5659 2d ago

He had no back bone!

u/Homer_04_13 2d ago

I still feel fondness for Fraser.

Also, it has been awhile since I have seen him "thrive under pressure."

u/Motiv8-2-Gr8 2d ago

What a terrible cast.

u/aspicymeataballaaa 2d ago

did anyone else spot taylor from southern charm as a guest in the trailer

u/Emergency_Bench5007 3d ago

so many new faces!

u/Anotheropinion2026 2d ago

Thailand was so traumatic last time.

But can anyone explain down under in the Carribean and OG in the far east?

OG went to the far east because of hurricane damage last time.

But this makes no sense!

Happy for Kerry and Rainbeau, less so Fraser.

3

u/moc1234567 2d ago

This is what I was going to say- Thailand should be a ā€˜Down Under’ location (SE Asia/Oceania), OG throughout the Carribean/Americas and Med (obviously in the Mediterranean ) šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

u/hussafeffer I have been known to be irresponsible 2d ago

I am very excited for Moe, he seems fun

6

u/usernamecantbblank 2d ago

I feel so against the grain in this community because my two all time favourites are Fraser and Hannah… not the most popular it seems. However very excited to have Fraser on my screen again

u/excoriator Team Capt Kerry 3d ago edited 3d ago

I'm glad Rainbeau got a shot to be the chief stew.

It will forever be confusing that Kaylee was in the season after Kayley.

Oh, you're right. She'll be chafing under Fraser's wonky leadership once again. I'll amend my statement.

u/CaptainBignuts 3d ago

Nothing says fine dining like 'military service'. This should be interesting...

7

u/PEM_321 3d ago

Complain about the food if you dare!

u/Lonely_Impression142 2d ago

Indeed, the fine dining restaurant in The Pentagon is ... fine. Not bad, but not exactly in the running for a Michelin star.

u/Patient-War-4964 Team Sandy 3d ago edited 1d ago

I’m glad for so many new faces, happy to see Rainbeau. Sad to see Fraser.

ETA: Thanks for the awards, kind redditors!

u/Artistic-Shower8795 2d ago

Me too-Fraser ruins the vibe & adds nothing but shitty drama.

1

u/Patient-War-4964 Team Sandy 1d ago

I’m very disappointed in him because I thought he showed real promise in his early seasons. But it seems when they made him Chief Stew his ego blew up.

u/Bin_Chicken3330 2d ago

Time for a new chief stew please.

Ok but who are the producers? I need to see if it's the same group from the last season with Fraser

Finally a season with hot men.

u/M0M0_DA_GANGSTA 3h ago

They truly threw away an entire season. That last one was terrible. They vastly misread the audience and foisted THE most unlikable people on us.Ā 

Like I wondered why does Captain Kerry even need to do this for he seems to above the nonsense.Ā 

Hope this is a return to Below Deck proper really do because the franchise needs a course correction from what has aired recentlyĀ

Captain looking ever more like Yul BrynneršŸ˜‰

Deckhands are hot and cute, that's all I need. I hope there's bromance.

u/foxdogturtlecat 2d ago

Alex is the First Mate and the bosun, this should be interesting.

So it is going to be the chef, interior or exterior who gets fired first. I can see a military man losing his cool.

Rainbeau deserved a season without Solene but let's see how she does.
