What is Below Deck Down Under about? What is Below Deck Down Under about?
Below Deck Down Under is taking the franchise to the Indian and Pacific oceans – where the sun may be hot, but the drama is hotter.
Following the crew onboard a luxury superyacht, and led by Captain Jason Chambers, viewers get to see the lengths the team will go to in order to make the guests’ charter as special as possible.
But six weeks at sea with the same people can grate on even the sturdiest minds, and the team must keep a cool head - at least while the guests are around - to provide as safe and magical an experience as they possibly can.
Once the guests disembark, it’s time to party – with the team letting their feelings known either romantically or as tensions boil over.
First launching in 2022, Below Deck Down Under is the second spin-off in the show’s franchise and is now heading into its fifth season.
