The brand-new season of the Emmy-nominated Below Deck Down Under premieres 8.30pm Wednesday, 16 July on 7Bravo and 7plus.
Captain Jason Chambers returns for Season 3, alongside familiar faces Chef Tzarina Mace-Ralph and Deckhand Harry Van Vliet. New crew members include Bosun Wihan Du Toit, Chief Stew Lara Rigby, Deckhands Johnny Arvanitis and Adair Werley, Stews Brianna Duffield and Marina Marcondes de Barros, and Sous-Chef Anthony Bird.
This season the crew set sail to the pristine, turquoise waters of Seychelles off the coast of Africa. Jason is at the forefront of Motor Yacht Katina: Below Deck’s largest vessel yet. With clashing department heads and hard-to-entertain guests, he must explore new depths to face this season’s challenges.
Now in the galley of her dreams with a sous chef by her side, Chef Tzarina is ready to explore the vibrant flavours of East Africa. However, a weevil infestation and rising tension with her Sous Chef threaten to turn her kitchen into chaos. New Chief Stew Lara excels at keeping her department in tip-top shape, going to great lengths to make sure her guests have a spotless experience – even if it means scaling four flights of stairs for every service. Amid a series of on-deck blunders, leading to a jet ski accident and a hospital visit, Bosun Wihan faces an uphill battle to keep team morale afloat. The interior runs like a well-oiled machine until one stew’s request for more responsibility rocks the boat.
An explosive incident that leads to a shocking firing leaves the crew shorthanded, while fresh faces bring a wave of new energy on board. The “love boat” atmosphere boils over as flings, hook-up crossovers and budding relationships begin to spill over into the workplace flow.
Below Deck Down Under is produced by 51 Minds, a Banijay Americas company, with Lauren Simms, Cristina Lopez, Mark Cronin, Tania Hamidi, Julie Pizzi, Zachary Klein and Nicole Elliott as executive producers.
