It's been years since I've been in the Caribbean,
and I miss the hell out of it.
White sandy beaches, crystal blue water.
It's like putting on your favorite pair of blue jeans.
It's like going home again.
[grunts]
Did I look like I was over here? What the [bleep].
We've got new crew, new chef, new chief stew, new everything.
This is ----ing bullsh--.
Well, maybe not everything.
All my deck hands are born in the '90s.
God, Eddie.
I'm back.
I'm an old man in the yachting world.
I feel like I'm being poked at. I've got Crocs on.
Five years have passed and I feel like I'm older
and wiser and still the same guy.
Why would Captain Lee be mad about our swimming?
Because you're not a guest!
What am I doing here?
Put these on everyone's plate.
No water marks anywhere, all the time.
We have 15 minutes.
My standards are just through the roof.
Perfect.
To be a great chief stew, you need to be able to lead,
to encourage, and inspire, consistently.
-Wow. -Welcome.
I thrive on attention to detail.
It all starts with me and my interior team.
We've got things to do. Chop, chop.
Rule number one, no talking over me.
What the [bleep]?
They don't pay me enough for this crap.
When I'm in the kitchen, I'm super laser focused.
I want everything to be perfect.
This is going up right now.
This is amazing.
Out of the galley...
I am not quiet.
I so need therapy.
[belches]
It says Lee on the back. I wear the pants around here.
Yeah, you do.
I always get pre-judged.
People just think I'm a player.
I flirt. I flirt a lot.
Is this doing anything for you?
Absolutely not.
It's fine, it's just a lot of fun.
I feel like I need something stiff.
I made a cloud disappear with my mind the other day.
Are you ----ing high?
[laughing]
I've always been a very spiritual person.
Prometheus gave fire to the humans
and started civilization.
And that's kind of like what we're doing.
Trying to get in touch with the mystical
through breath work, meditation, yoga, and crystals.
Get out of here, live through here.
Get um, like, hot tub, all the way back.
My friends would call me the jack of all trades.
I love doing beach set ups.
I've been anywhere from interiors to engine room,
to running the boat myself.
As long as you smile,
everybody's going to have a good day.
-Solid high five. -Solid high five!
Like my melons?
People would probably describe me as
the walking definition of too much information.
My crotch is so sweaty.
It is, it's just like, dripping.
There is no topic that is taboo for me.
Like a man trying to find a clitoris.
People would look at me, they're like, So-Cal,
surfer, he must be a stoner.
Far out. Dude.
But they're wrong.
The conch shells, you're not legally supposed to take.
I am an environmentalist.
Body is temple.
The earth is our temple for humans.
I'm coming in to make a splash.
Working on yachts is rainbows and butterflies.
Cheers, guys. Cheers, cheers.
Harmony, happiness, a utopia yacht.
Just a couple bros slamming some Claws, no big deal.
Right?
[Bleep] yourself.
I'd rather not do that.
Wrong.
I hate this ----ing island!
I am your boss, I am your superior.
Your charter just ended.
Why are you even talking back to me right now?
I'm not putting up with this sh--.
God damn it!
Someone's going to get fired.
This Coronavirus, things are getting difficult.
They've cancelled all flights going out of the EU.
I have no idea what's going to happen.
Nice, man.
Yeah. Here I am again.
Ah, she's beautiful.
I haven't been yachting in five years.
It's definitely going to be a change of pace
than what I'm used to.
In Baltimore, I run a harbor tug.
And I dock all the massive ships that come into port.
It's a good time to get out of Baltimore, during the winter.
Get away, and make a little bit of cash.
Money, money, money, money.
Hello?
Hmm.
I'm the captain now.
Hey, Cap?
Captain Lee?
Cap, you down there?
Cap?
What the [bleep]?
Hello?
Anybody down there?
Okay.
Captain Lee is always on the boat the first day.
Hello?
This is weird.
Something's wrong.
[phone ringing]
Hey, Cap?
Hey, Eddie, how you doing?
I'm all right, how are you doing?
You're at the hospital?
Yeah.
Okay.
I went down pretty hard.
All right.
All right, um, yeah.
Yeah, is there anything I can do for you?
Wow.
Oh, someone's on board.
Okay, we'll start working on the lockers,
try to get things a little bit squared away.
Well, you take as much time as you need, Cap, all right?
I'd like to have you healthy, rather than not, okay?
All right. Bye.
[sighs] Okay.
Captain Lee's been a mentor since the day I met him,
and to now find out that he's in the hospital
is terrifying to me.
If Lee doesn't show up,
this first charter's not going to be happening.
Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye.
So, very concerning.
All right.
Holy [bleep].
Hello?
Woo, pantry.
God damn it!
Oh, that's cramp.
This looks like the bridge.
Hello?
Where is everybody?
What the [bleep] is that?
Hello?
Hi.
-Hi, I'm Francesca. -Francesca?
-Yeah. -Eddie.
-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.
-Are you the bosun? -I'm the bosun.
-Cool. -What's your role?
-Chief Stew. -Chief stew!
-All right. -Yeah, me and my notebook.
Yeah, there you go, you seem ready to go.
I do take my job a little bit too seriously, sometimes.
But, to a good Chief Stew is to think like a guest.
Attention to detail is super important.
Everything needs to be perfect
and meticulously placed all the time.
That's what I deliver.
I love it.
It drives me.
-So nice to meet you. -Where you from?
-I'm from Australia. -Oh, okay.
I'm from Sydney.
Yeah. I guess you got a lot of experience being on yachts?
Uh, for the last five years, yeah, yeah.
-Okay, good. -I work mostly the Med.
I have come over to the British Virgin Islands.
-Nice. -Yeah.
I thought I was coming up to meet the captain.
Captain's not here. He's at the hospital.
No way.
Yeah, so, busted some ribs up.
[gasps]
Oh, no.
He's got some X-rays right now,
and we're hoping for the best about it.
Yeah, of course.
I'm sure you got a lot of stuff to do, also,
I'm just kind of organizing everything.
I think I'm just going to go and set up cabins.
-All right, I'll see you later. -See you soon.
Yeah.
Ah, sh--, I hope he's okay.
This is so cool.
This is a crew mess. Oh, it needs a vacuum.
How beautiful.
-How's it going? -Good.
-Avery. -Eddie. Good to meet you, man.
Hello?
-Position? -Bosun.
-What about you? -Ah, deck hand.
-Deck hand? -Yeah.
Awesome, man.
-Hi. -Hi, what's your name?
Elizabeth.
Elizabeth, welcome, I'm the Chief Stew.
Nice.
There's definitely some uniforms down there,
if you want to get into something like this.
Um, maybe just go change into your uniform.
-Yeah. -Yeah, is that all right?
Yes.
Do, do, do, do.
Ooh, oh, God.
Come back and work on a yacht, Eddie.
It'll be fun they said.
[chuckles] I'm here.
So, have you worked on boats before?
Yes. I have four and a half years of experience.
Oh, fantastic.
-How are you with ironing? -Oh, good.
I've been doing more housekeeping lately, so.
[bleep]
-Hi. -Nice to meet you all.
-Hello. -Yeah, you too.
-I'm Elizabeth. -James, nice to meet you.
Hi, I'm Francesca.
-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.
Wow, where is everyone?
Where are you from?
England?
Wow, you have such a strong accent.
So I've heard, so I've heard.
What's your name?
It's Francesca, isn't it?
-Yeah. -Yes, I'll remember that.
[laughing]
Francesca. Chief Stew.
[long exhale]
I wouldn't kick her out of bed.
So long.
Ooh.
Ha-ha. ----ing Jackpot.
Damn.
This is so gnarly.
I'm Izzy, I'm your new stew.
Oh my gosh, I'm Elizabeth, nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you. -Hi, I'm Francesca.
-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.
Here you go, baby.
What position have you guys been doing?
Mostly mate stuff on like, 100 to 130.
-You're a mate on the 130? -Yeah.
That's great.
I love yachting.
I couldn't imagine myself doing anything else.
It's been a really rocky road with my whole life.
I've been on my own since I was 16.
I was in a really dark place at one point.
I left school, wasn't speaking with my family,
and then found yachting kind of by accident.
Pretty much saved my life.
What about you?
Deck hand, junior deck hand.
Oh yeah, you know, yeah, junior deckhand on 100 ----ing meter.
Yeah, right.
That's a big ----ing ship.
Greetings.
-Shane. -Avery.
-Eddie. -Avery?
-Hey. -How you doing man?
-James. -James.
-Deckhand? -Hell yeah.
Cool man.
Where do I get the--I feel like I'm not in the right fit?
-Main salon. -Gotcha.
You'll see a bag with your name.
-All right, sounds good. -Cool. Cool, man.
-Perfect timing. -Following the voices.
So let's have a little chat on the couch.
Our laz.
It's ----ed up in here, isn't it?
This is something we definitely need to un-[bleep] today.
[laughing]
So Captain Lee actually had a fall.
Sh--.
So he's actually not on the boat.
Do you know when, uh, Lee's getting here?
Captain Lee's having some issues right now.
What do you mean he's having, like, issues?
-Is he okay? -I'm not sure.
Um, so, we're just kind of getting on with it.
That really sucks man, I hope he's okay.
-Yeah. -Hope so, too.
I'm trying to stay composed, I'm just trying to stay
professional in front of the new crew, but
ah, you know, deep down, I am panicking a little bit.
I don't know the severity of his injuries,
and we have a charter coming on less than 24 hours away.
There's a lot up in the air right now.
Coming up...
I'm going to tell you now, I'm relatively new to yachting.
-Okay. -I guess the white glove world?
[bleep]
So, tell me like a little bit about yourselves.
So I was all over the place, I was like, deck, stew--
-Mm-hmm. -Nanny.
-You like doing that. -Yeah.
I've been around kind of boats a lot of my life.
I started out kind of going out in the river with my dad
and then I was too cheap to pay for a holiday,
so I started working on boats.
Like, I've worked inside and outside,
but I haven't been inside for a while.
So for me, like, as long a I'm working,
and as long as I feel like
I'm living my life to the fullest,
then I'm up for a bit of a challenge.
You'll start on service a little bit more
and then we can do the informal--
-I love that. -Informal places--
-Hello, ladies.
-Hi. -I'm Izzy.
-Shane. -Nice to meet you.
So wait, it's me, you, him, and then the other guy.
What's his name? Shane?
-Shane. -Shane.
What's up, girls, how y'all doing?
-Good. -Good.
-Good, Shane. -So Eddie's your bosun.
Eddie is?
-Yeah, Eddie's the bosun. -Great.
I'm feeling like chief stew vibes from you.
Uh, yeah.
Francesca, got it.
We've got so much to do.
Like, why is he sitting there?
Let's talk more about what we should do to get ready.
Okay, nice meeting you all.
-Bye, see you. -Anyway...
No idea where I'm going.
I'm pretty new to yachting.
I've been out of school for less than a year.
I went to UC Berkeley where everyone is like,
pounding your head, you have to get a job
at Apple, Google, etcetera.
And then I realized this isn't for me.
I've been on boats my whole life,
but I've never been on a boat that's over like 150 feet.
Um...
Do we know when this first charter is?
-Tomorrow. -Wait, what?
Tomorrow. We have like 22 hours.
Where's our boy, Shane?
Uh, I don't know.
What in the world?
I mean, where do you want to start, then?
Wash down.
All right, cracking straight on, then.
Holy sh--, I did not expect that.
[bleep]
Shane? Where's Shane?
So, we'll start down in the cabin.
So, and we can do that together.
Yeah.
-What's up? -There you are.
I believe we're bunking together.
Awesome.
And, uh, I'm going to tell you now,
I'm relatively new to yachting.
-Okay. -I guess the white glove world.
Um...
[bleep]
If there's something you don't know how to do,
or anything like that, if you're honest with me,
I will teach you how to do it, no questions asked.
I don't have a problem with that.
The only thing I would have a problem with is if
you said you knew how to do something
and you don't know how to do it.
-Understandable. -Okay.
Cool?
Sounds good, dude, I'm ----ing stoked for the season.
-Stoked. -Ee!
Okay, cool.
All right, so tell me what to do now, I guess.
I'm going to be screwed with this one.
Go up and uh, start hanging out with the rest of the guys.
They're going to start doing a washdown.
-All right. -And kind of, uh, absorb.
Okay. See ya.
We'll add a little bit more.
How's it going, man?
-Eddie? -What's up?
What's going, man?
I'm here to help you guys wash down.
Yes.
We just need to set it up guest ready.
Yes.
So, just as long as everything is like, super clean,
you know what's in every single drawer.
Mm-hmm.
Um, toilet paper folds, just make sure that they're all set.
In my experience, to be a good chief stew,
you have to be a little bit of a mom.
I always try to find balance in being patient.
I think towels can be hung, there's some racks behind here.
And being a hard ass. That's how I roll.
Most important, just like, opening up all the drawers,
making sure you know what's inside them.
I can put the comforter in here.
Yep.
Do it like you think you would do it.
Yeah.
And then I can come down and see, like,
how you're going with it.
I'm used to working with chief stews that are very, very
militant, and just like, mean.
-Yeah. -I got you.
Cool.
But like, I believe in being aligned.
I feel energies, I feel vibes.
And I think that Francesca has pure intentions.
Just get in there. Get stuck in.
I'm good, girl, I got your back.
We're in this together. Namaste.
[laughing]
How's it going, guys?
Pretty good. Almost done up here.
Do you want me to hit the teak really well
with like, just a quick rinse?
Yeah. Quick rinse and then just like make sure
the scuppers aren't getting stained up.
Cool, and then uh, we're going to move down?
-Yeah, that sounds good. -Copy.
Avery is a good deck hand.
He's knowledgeable, organized, it's really important
that I have somebody that I know I can trust,
so I can handle dealing with a brand-new crew
that I've never worked with before,
Captain Lee getting injured right off the bat.
and a new boat that I have to learn.
I've got a lot of things to do to get ready.
Yeah, it's-- it's white knuckle time.
You want to spray this way so we don't ----ing dredge it.
[bleep]
Oh my God.
[grunts]
Making guest beds is really sh--, like,
you get in some really weird positions when you do it.
[moaning]
[laughing]
I haven't banged anyone for a while, so I guess it's good
to get some like, practice in for sexual positions.
[laughing]
Oh!
I've learned my lesson hooking up with crew, though.
Oh, I actually got a girlfriend.
Oh, sh--, you got a girlfriend?
-Yeah. -That's pretty cool, actually.
I don't trust myself, so.
[laughing]
Hello?
[humming]
Hello?
Oh, that's not bad.
-Hello? -Hello?
-Hi. -Hi.
-I'm Rachel. -I'm Francesca
-Nice to meet you, Francesca. -Nice to meet you.
-Are you the chef? -Yes, I am.
Oh, fantastic!
Cool, you just arrived.
Yeah, literally just got here off the plane.
It's been really hard to get here.
And I had like, my-- my purse stolen.
No way!
Before I came here, I went to the store,
and I put my purse inside the cart,
and before I knew it was stolen.
Car keys, phone, everything was gone.
It was my Louis Vuitton as well.
Oh man, I'm so sorry.
The past couple of days have been upsetting, overwhelming,
just to even be able to get those credit cards back,
pay for things.
Starting a new seasons, like where is anything.
I know.
You walk into a season, and you really want to just grab
the bull by the horns and run as hard as you can.
But, I'm just not in the state that I should be in, mentally.
It sucks.
Also, if I can see like, how like, my area.
Yeah.
How's it going?
The beds look amazing, oh my God.
-Yay. -They look really good.
-Woo! -Yes.
Yeah, we got a lot more cleaning to do, huh?
Yeah, definitely.
-So, Elizabeth? -Yes.
All the captains items that need to be pressed.
-Uh-huh. -Are just hanging up.
Can you just prioritize them and make them done first?
Yeah, sure.
Um, that would be fab.
Oh, sweet.
This sh--'s already here, that's awesome.
As a chef, I'm a super perfectionist.
Normally, when I join a boat, and I start a charter season,
I rip that thing apart, and I make it my own,
and I organize it.
It takes days.
But these past 72 hours have been a complete nightmare.
So now, I just don't have the time for it,
I have to hit the ground running.
After 14 years of being in the industry,
you learn how to just suck it up and get it done.
With a smile.
Check.
Where is anything?
All crew, all crew, provisions are here.
I need all hands for provisions.
Here, just put it on there.
-Are you sure? -Yeah, I think so.
Straight into the galley.
Shane, nothing else on Captain Lee?
I haven't heard anything else.
Oh, God, I hope he's okay.
Cool.
[phone ringing]
[recorded voice] Welcome to the message center.
[beep]
Sh--, man, we have so much stuff.
I don't understand how this is all going to fit on here.
I haven't got a clue.
Oh, I love the caviar, I'm so excited.
Condoms, 20 times twelve pack.
Oh my God.
What size are they?
Curry leaves? [bleep] yes.
This is a lot of stuff, right?
This is so ridiculous.
[grunting]
Captain Lee's here.
Thank God.
Ah, Captain just got here.
-Oh, awesome. -Yay!
-No hugs, though. -I'll be gentle.
-Good to see you, buddy. -Cap.
Thanks for taking care of things while I was off.
My ribs are killing me.
But only when I move and breathe.
Other than that, it's just fine.
Ah, I'm headed up to the quarters--
I'll be up in a little.
We'll have a staff meeting probably shortly.
Fortunately, nothing appears to be broken.
I didn't damage any vital organs.
I feel like I've been wrapped up in a bed sheet
and beaten with a ball bat, but suck it up, cream puff.
-Hello. -Good morning.
-I'm Francesca. -Francesca?
-Pleasure to meet you. -My pleasure.
Look forward to working with you.
-How--
-We'll chat here in a little bit.
Okay. Let me know when you're available.
-I will. -Sorry for the mess.
Not a problem.
[bleep]
We're done.
Yay, we're good, we're done.
Woo!
Attention all crew, attention all crew.
We will need to see everybody in the sky lounge in five minutes.
Copy that.
[groans]
Sky lounge is right here? Sky lounge, yeah.
[overlapping dialogue]
I apologize for leaving you guys high and dry today,
I just, uh, something couldn't be helped.
But all under control now.
-Take your hat off. -Yes, sir.
Okay, we've got the engineering department,
consisting of Mario, Zack, and 1st Officer is John.
Um, I have a couple of rules on your behavior.
You will not embarrass the boat,
you will not embarrass yourselves.
I'm not going to put up with it.
I'm not going to have a repeat of last season.
There won't be any physical intimidation.
Get the [bleep] over yourself, Kate.
Oi, calm down, calm down, bro, calm down.
Calm down.
He got away with it last year,
but if people don't respect each other this season--
This hour of the night, I don't need to hear slamming doors,
loud voices.
They're gone.
And if anybody thinks that I won't fire somebody
in the middle of a charter, they don't know me.
Captain Lee's a really cute daddy.
Like a really sweet grandpa that would also
take you over his knee
and just spank you if you did something wrong.
Radios.
If you really want a one-way ticket real quick,
let me find you without your radio.
We've got guests coming on tomorrow, so have at it.
Let's get to work, guys.
Yeah, let's do it.
Oh!
All right.
You guys know where the spigot knob is for this?
Oh yeah, here, let me show you real quick.
You're just going to go in like this, do with this.
Uh-huh.
You got like the deck squeezing spud soap,
and spray nine in here, so like, a bunch of good stuff
that we're going to be using constantly.
If--now I know, thank you!
No problem.
Francesca, Francesca, Lee.
Go ahead, Lee.
Yeah, you want to come on up to the wheel house for a second?
No problem.
Hi. I love this.
That is what I have my coffee in every morning.
Okay, great.
And how do you take your coffee?
Coffeemate or something like that?
Okay.
Couple of things I wanted to go over with you.
Sure.
I don't like to micromanage.
If you have an issue with anybody--
-Okay. -About anything--
-Great. -Go to them first.
-Yeah. -Try and resolve it.
Okay.
And if you can't, give me the straight,
unbiased version of it.
Definitely.
Laundry is a pet peeve of mine.
We only get one shot at making a first impression.
Yeah.
-There's the bar-- -Right.
-And then there's my bar. -Right, yeah.
And my bar is way the [bleep] up there.
Right.
The relationship that any captain has
with a chief stew is critical.
And I've had the same chief stew for the last six years.
What time did you want to wear your royal Hawaiian outfit?
I'm not changing.
Oh, you are changing, because I got you an outfit.
Aloha!
[speaking Hawaiian]
Let the games begin!
It takes a long time to get to the level of trust
that Kate and I shared.
And she has huge shoes to fill.
Definitely, I'm here to work hard.
I started off working in event management,
and working with really high-profile magazines
in Sydney.
-That's great background. -Yeah.
I want the guests to have one of a kind, unique experience.
You know, the table setting is just over the top,
-and it compliments-- -Mm-hmm.
-In the food. -I really, really like that.
Yeah.
Francesca, she really seems quite competent.
She seems to know her stuff.
But, she's got a lot on her plate.
There is a proper way to iron, and this isn't it.
Okay.
There's a crease that goes down the front of the pants.
-Yes. -Not the side.
Yes.
I know I'm a little bit anal about that.
-No problem. -Thank you.
You're welcome, thank you.
She's got a totally new crew, and she's got a new captain.
She doesn't know what a dick I can be.
-Hey, chicka. -Hi.
So, captain spoke to me.
Oh, his pants. Oh sh--.
Yeah, just with a crease down the middle.
-And just? -All the way up.
Yeah.
People don't realize how difficult that really is.
We'll see if she can pull it off.
I haven't gone to the bathroom since I got on the boat.
I know. ----ing hell.
Coming up...
Whoa, there's some lovely legs.
Let's just say that I would like this to be the first yacht
that I don't fall in love with somebody.
He's got such a nice body actually.
You better freaking cool those thighs off.
Yeah, true, very true.
Hey, we're ----ing smashing this, this is easy.
We might need to get back up here, though.
Oh, man, don't say that now.
[laughing]
[sniffs]
Mm.
Eddie, Eddie, Lee.
Yeah, go for Eddie.
Get Francesca and Rachel
and head on up to the wheel house, please.
-Copy that. -Copy that, captain.
Got a present for you.
Oh, is it more wine?
-More wine. -For [bleep]'s sake.
Good to have you back, pal.
It's good to be back, Cap.
-Hi. -Let's knock it out.
Hello there.
Hi.
Charter number one.
Great, fun!
Fun guy, has a little propensity to get a little on the edge.
Due to safety reasons, we won't be leaving the dock today.
We have to stay here. That really sucks.
Hey, please serve him real food. - Okay.
We have been waiting for a while for the entrée,
so tell us all about it.
Charley will bring his boyfriend Carlos,
who's sales and marketing rep for a fitness company.
Joining them are Shanara and Lexy.
You're going to have vegan, you're going to have keto.
Primary wants an international themed
dinner service on the first night.
Ah, this is going to be fun.
This charter is going to rock,
because when I'm not doing yachting,
I'm a private chef Ayurvedic practitioner in Monaco,
and I studied in India for three months.
I don't mean to toot my own horn.
But Keto, vegan or whatever, I got this.
Let's [bleep] this charter in the mouth.
We have a neon carnival themed party on the second night,
which is also Lexy's birthday.
Yeah.
Charley kind of knows what to expect.
Don't let the bastards see you sweat.
All right, let's get going.
I know you got stuff to do.
-We got stuff do to. -All right.
I've had Charley on board before, he is a handful.
He demands a lot, and he doesn't mind paying for it.
But in order to get to that pot at the end of the rainbow,
you've got to create the rainbow first.
Do you want to get under these guys?
Yes, I do want to get under there.
Man, it's going to be a long day tomorrow.
Long day today, long day tomorrow.
I'm trying to find ----ing protein bars,
but there's so many God damn boxes.
Calling it quits, or?
Yeah, yeah, we're done.
You two call it a night.
Okay, bye, thank you.
-Good night. -Thank you for today.
I'm ----ing tired and exhausted.
Beyond exhausted.
Back hurts, arms hurt.
Oh [bleep]'s sake.
[alarm beeping]
[groaning]
Agh!
----ing god damn it.
[yawning]
There we go.
Francesca, can I get my coffee
and breakfast in the wheelhouse, please.
Okay, copy that.
Izzy, you are in charge of Captain's breakfast and coffee.
Coffee, Captain Lee, Cheerios, sort pantry.
-Multi-grain Cheerios. -Multi-grain Cheerios.
-I'm like, Jesus Christ. -Why are you wearing those?
Because my other chef pants are not.
No!
It's like, mmm.
Nom, nom, nom, nom.
I could go for total like, twelve hours of sleep.
Mm, yeah.
Mm. Yeah.
I'm a big morning guy.
Body is temple.
Got to wake up, meditate.
Mentally, it's amazing.
Because I get in a flow state.
That's the way you set the precedent for the entire day.
Put in the fridge outside.
Um, how am I doing?
Where is anything at?
[bleep].
How you going?
Doing it as quickly as I can.
-Okay, thank you so much. -Yeah.
She's just taking forever to make a breakfast.
A snail could make this faster, I'm sure,
and it doesn't even have hands, I don't even think.
Do snails have hands?
[laughing]
Did you say there was a specific mug he uses in the bridge?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
How's your crew working, so far?
Avery is solid, you know, he's uh, been good,
and uh, I feel comfortable kind of leaving him
with everyone else, while I kind of run around
and do everything else.
Sure.
Shane has got some green growing pains.
Probably your greenest.
Yep, yep, yep, yep.
How you feeling today?
I was doing good till I rolled over this morning.
Ah.
Woke my ass up in a hurry.
My back was like, did you forget what you were doing yesterday?
[laughing]
It was like, eh!
And I was like [groans]
Last couple of seasons, I didn't really have a bosun
that I could count on and depend on.
Nico's got his head up his ass.
Look how ----ing close we are.
Brace yourself.
Oh!
I hate baby sitting.
Yeah.
And that's what I'm doing with you, right now.
When you have a whole new crew,
it's really good to have that stabilizing factor.
Eddie brings that to the table.
Oh, cute.
How fancy.
What's Shane doing?
I think he was just putting his mat up, or something.
Put his mat up?
-Almost done? -Yeah, done.
Okay, cool. Just take that to Captain Lee.
Yeah.
[knocking on door]
-Hi. -I have breakfast for you.
Just let me know if it's not made the way you like it.
Hmm.
James, James, Elizabeth.
Go ahead.
Are you able to come to the stew pantry?
I have a garbage bag.
Copy that, I'm on my way.
Stairwells are vacuumed.
Okay, fantastic.
And then, like, just the salon.
Yeah, that's great, thank you.
-So it's not like-- -Whoa!
Whoa, what's going on here?
I just want to show them off.
-They're some lovely legs. -Thanks, appreciate that.
Of course.
I have dated people before on yachts.
Let's just say that I would like this to be the first yacht
that I don't fall in love with somebody.
He's got such a nice body, actually.
Yeah, yeah, he's cute.
I honestly think this is the longest time
I've gone without a wank since I was like 14.
Okay.
He's too young for me.
No, he's young.
Girl, you can get whoever you want.
I could fool around with him, for sure.
Yeah.
You better freaking cool those thighs off.
Yeah, true, very true.
Attention all crew, attention all crew.
Ah, sh--! Son of a bitch!
We have 30 minutes till show time.
All right, copy that.
You look so sad!
Put that whole tray in the outside bar area.
-Yeah. -Just grab this little one.
It's a never-ending battle to clean things
that are never going to be clean.
Master.
Okay, cool, chocolates.
Lights are on, that looks fab, love it.
Great job.
All right, it's go time, let's get naked.
[sighs]
That ----ing hurt.
Get the hand towels, cold hand towels ready.
I need the table wipes.
I need you guys on cover up here.
No doubt.
So everything is cleaned up, and good to go.
And just do once around.
LEE: Eddie, how we doing? -One minute.
Oh my God, they look amazing, thank you.
[bleep] Aft deck.
Y'all ready?
[screaming]
Big smiles, big smiles, guys.
Here is our boat.
Oh my God!
Ha-ha-ha, we're back!
All right, show time, people.
Coming up...
Kill the engines, you're getting too close to them.
Kill the engine!
Ah!
These guest are a absolute sh---show.
You got people in the water!
Ugh.
-Here is our boat. -Oh my God!
It's cute, right?
We've like the biggest yacht here, by the way.
I mean, it could be bigger.
[laughing]
Hey, Mr. Lee, good to see you again.
[laughing]
-Great. -Good.
Hi, how are you?
Hi, I'm Francesca, I'm the chief stew.
I'm Char--oh, really.
-Yeah. -Okay, well, nice to meet you.
-Pleasure. -Nice to meet you.
Hi, I'm James.
Beautiful eyes, nice to meet you.
-Shane. -More beautiful eyes.
James, I love the swag, hi.
Nice to meet you.
Well, you know what? Cheers, guys!
Here we are!
-Cheers! -Yes.
Welcome aboard, welcome to Antigua.
Francesca will take you around the boat,
give you the grand tour.
Amazing.
And we'll get started.
-All right! -All right!
-Show us the boat! -Absolutely!
This is bridge deck, so--
Okay, nice.
I think you'll be spending a little time up here.
I think so too, we have done that in the past, so.
-Yeah, yes. -Great.
Hey guys. Get the luggage on.
Heavy.
This is the master suite.
Yes.
So welcome.
It's good to be home. Good to be home.
Down here, this is the main guest area.
Looks like the golden girls.
And this is the bathroom.
Oh, beautiful.
By the way, this was the bathroom
where one of my friends may have passed out once.
[snoring]
So nobody do that, thank you.
Will you come down with me,
while these guys pass down the rails to us?
-Yeah, let's do it. -Since you're nice and tall.
I'm hungry and I need a drink.
All espresso martinis?
Always espresso martinis.
If somebody can unpack their luggage, that would be great.
Absolutely, no problem.
-That's all of them. -Wow, that's all mate.
All right, all railings in.
Hi, what was your name again?
James.
How old are you, James?
26.
Okay, I'm 28, it works.
Slow down, ladies.
She wants to see your giant peach.
No!
Stand by, Eddie, we'll be getting out of here shortly.
Copy that, I'll be heading up to the bow
to handle the bow line.
When you get on the dock, hand the lines.
Yep.
You take Shane on aft deck,
here, you know, keep and eye on him for the lines.
-Woo! -Ai, yi yi yi yi!
I'm going to do starboard side first.
Bow to stern on the rest of them. Okay?
We've got everybody in position?
Docking and undocking is a spectator sport.
Yes!
People love watching.
So right now, all I can think about is
just don't screw this up. Don't look stupid.
Not day one.
Do you want to loosen that off, mate?
I can't.
-Yeah, yeah, I've got it. -You got it?
Beautiful.
Starboard ground side in.
Let's get all this out the way.
All lines are clear, we're headed out.
Wow, here we go.
This water color is unreal.
I need the espresso shots.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -Please.
-How many do you need? -A lot.
Eight?
-Yeah. -Yeah?
Where are our drinks?
It's a little delayed.
I'm going to throw a bitch fit.
I want it soon.
Like, they could have gone to Starbucks, Antigua.
Ooh, all righty.
How are those coming?
As soon as I can.
All good, babe.
Yeah.
God, Izzy is so slow.
How long does it take to make espressos?
There's two coffee machines, use both.
This is a tempeh, sweet chili, but it's done with agave.
And then I also did pancetta.
Yeah, that will be ready to go in a second.
All right, anything else to do right now?
Let's just make this look nice.
We have some vegan delights here.
Yeah.
Sweet chili Tempe, which is fermented soy.
I'm sorry about the espresso martini situation.
That's okay.
Can we get you another round of champagnes?
-Yes! -Yes, that'll do for now.
-Is that okay? -Yes.
Okay, fantastic.
Being a chief stew, it's all about problem solving.
Problem solving.
It's all about the bubbles at the moment.
Till I get those espresso shots.
Thank you.
Okay, here we go.
I'm going to let Carlos try this one.
Oh, the pressure is on, guys.
Oh no! Oh!
[screams]
You've got it, babe. That's really good.
I approve, good job.
-Nice, thank you so much. -Yay!
I need you go to down to the master,
and unpack all of their bags.
Okay.
Thank you so much.
Yeah, of course.
Stuff is taking a while. Um...
Aren't they paid to be ready the second
my ass gets on this boat, to fill this?
So, do you want to have a go in making one?
Yeah, absolutely.
Okay, I just poured the coffee in.
So rinse.
Because then I cannot be tied to this bar.
Because I need to go talk to the chef,
I need to do other stuff.
-Go into bitch mode. -Okay, cool.
Because they need to learn, you're right.
-You need lot so ice. -Okay.
Yeah, yeah, put more ice in.
It's a visually empty again.
Oh, [bleep] that.
Now, I need another one.
Eddie, I need you forward to do the anchor drop.
Copy that, on my way.
Whoops.
On my mark, give me two shots. Drop.
I think we just stuck.
Great anchorage.
So here's the deal, you guys, until the crew
figures out what's going on, I will--I'm filling in.
So what do you need?
-You need sunscreen? -I need another drink.
Espresso martini.
Aperol Spritz!
Aperol Spritz, here we go.
I got it all.
Oh man, should have got changed, I guess.
-But uh, straight into polos. -[bleep]
-Polo. Okay. -Shorts.
I'm going to give you guys a hand.
-What? -Is that okay?
No, I mean, you can, if you want.
Well, just like, everyone seems a little overwhelmed,
so I'm just going to help out a little bit.
-Oh, no, I-- -Really?
Okay, so we need Aperol Spritz.
-Yeah. -Espresso Martinis.
Yeah, I'm doing that now.
And then Ashley needs sunscreen, so whenever that's located.
There should be some in the bathroom,
so we can bring it up there for you.
You go get the sunscreen for Ashley, I'll make the drinks.
-Yeah. -Perfect.
-Okay. -Thank you.
No problem.
The primary is up there and he's making drinks,
because he gets the sense that everyone's overwhelmed.
-So maybe-- -What?
Do you want to go up and talk to him?
Um, yeah, okay.
Oh my God.
We really need to step up our game, hey?
All of us.
I'm regretting working on the inside right now.
I'm really questioning my decision as to why
the [bleep] I put myself in a position
to have to actually properly deal with like these extra
as [bleep] guests and this extra as [bleep] chief stew.
Like, just not, ugh.
Why did I do this to myself?
[gasps] What is happening here?
Hi, honey, Oh, I'm just helping out.
I'm just stepping in because like,
I know how busy you guys are.
You don't need to be behind here.
-I can honestly-- -I know--
-Take care of it. -I will--I will stay here.
-This is my-- -Okay.
This is my domain.
This crew needs to step it up, that's all I can say.
Okay, I did one espresso martini.
-Okay. -We need Aperol spritz.
-Got it. -Done, done, done, done.
This is supposed to be seven-star services.
Let's call today learning curve.
Okay.
Let's call tomorrow, get it right.
-Okay. -How does that sound?
-That sounds great. -I am mortified right now.
Who was after some sun screen?
Oh, yes.
I understand, for 24 hours.
[laughing]
Coming up...
[bleep]
Captain Lee, do you have a second?
All right.
Aperol Spritzers.
Perfect.
This looks amazing.
Keto.
My water broke! My water broke!
Deck crew, deck crew, Eddie.
Meet me in the lounge immediately.
Copy that.
I'm going to go to the bathroom.
I'm just going to sit here and cry.
You want to take over bartending?
Sure.
And I'll just like, go, um, figure out
what's going on with lunch.
-Okay. -Thank you so much.
Elizabeth seems to know what she's doing.
She's just adapting and she's doing what she's being told.
Thank God, because Izzy is just not happening right now.
[bleep]
I come from large yachts with stewardesses
that have experience,
and these guests are super full on, right now.
I need stewardesses that know what they're doing.
What time is lunch?
Can I do it now?
You want to do it now? -Yeah.
Okay, cool, I'll go and ask them.
It's 3:00, yeah. Okay, cool.
I've been taken away at cocktails,
so yeah, we're a bit swamped right now.
-Shane can help. -Okay, perfect.
Ooh, no Bueno.
Thank you very much.
-Enjoy. -How's it going out there?
It's good. A little overwhelmed.
Not exactly what I wanted to hear.
Lunch can be ready really soon.
-Thank you. -Absolutely.
Yeah.
Mate, keep your options open, right?
-I know. -Yeah, man.
Proctological exam.
The preparation of food is so scientific.
How is it going to be perceived, neurologically,
when it hits the palate?
You've got visual, you've got scent,
then you've got texture, and then you've got taste.
These can go on the table?
Yes, ma'am.
Okay, fantastic.
I love it.
It's like a little fun puzzle to put together.
Sorry, I'm a nerd.
Oh, this looks lovely. Thank you, Francesca.
Good, you're very welcome.
Did you guys see this setting?
Pleasure.
I'm here to be a deckhand.
But first and foremost, I am an environmentalist.
You making cocktails?
I'm getting rid of the plastic and putting in the paper.
That's amazing, I appreciate that, thank you so much.
And I got them nautical.
That's so cool.
I'm like, where life takes me, like, I always
bring my own satchel of like, paper straws on me,
because we have one planet.
We destroy earth, then where are humans going to go?
The moon? Yeah, right.
What are you doing man?
I'm putting paper straws instead of plastic ones.
We're taking a break, it's just a break.
Cool.
-Save the turtles. -Save the turtles, bra.
Why don't you go help the girls?
Copy that, Eddie.
This is really nice.
Oh, wow, I do love these plates.
Yeah, that was very Aussie.
I love this setting.
The more she talks to me, the more I'm like,
I think I need to talk a little Australian.
Whoa!
Lobster is here.
-Unbelievable. -That looks awesome.
Yeah.
Then, there's some meat coming as well.
Wow, that looks incredible.
-Hi, Rachel! -Rachel!
Yes!
Well, we have an avocado dressing
with white balsamic reduction inside of it, too.
Yes!
And then we have a roasted sweet potato,
and this is a local lobster that's been roasted
with extra virgin olive oil--
-How local, did you catch it? -Yeah.
[laughing]
Thanks, Rach.
-You're welcome. -Can we call you Rach?
-Sure. -Oh my God.
Try the meat with the avocado thing.
-Okay. -Really good.
So these pretty much just float into this?
Lower this down and hook it up.
These things... [makes noise] right out.
Yeah.
We got to go, go, go.
[humming]
Cool, you got it?
-Yes. -Beautiful.
Well, we all got really quiet, that's a good sign.
Uh, yeah, exactly.
This is kind of like, my favorite thing
of the whole trip so far.
I'm glad.
The avocado reduction is really good.
I feel like I could use this as a face mask.
-And I might. -Totally.
When I turn it this way, for bow to port.
Avery is a machine.
We are like two peas in a pod, man.
Just killing it.
Turning and burning.
-Nice job. -No problem.
I'm going to go ahead and take break.
Are you guys almost ready for us?
You want to go on a jet ski?
-I'm ready. -Yes.
Go have something to eat, hon.
-Yeah? -Yeah.
[bleep] I'm losing my mind.
All right. You're riding.
Go slow.
Woo!
Be gentle with her. Be gentle with her!
It's almost as good as Coachella.
[screaming]
Things smoothing out a little bit?
Um, I mean, God, as much as they can, really.
[groaning]
I know.
It feels like we've been here a lifetime,
and we've been here 24 hours.
Yeah.
Izzy is definitely, needs a little bit of training.
I feel like she's just shooting and doing whatever she can.
But, um--
It's very difficult to train on the job.
This is not where one should be learning how to do it.
Yeah.
We'll make it through.
[phone beeps]
[bleep]
[sniffing]
[bleep]
Did you see the rainbow?
Will you get us to this rainbow?
Oh, look at that.
No, oh my gosh!
These guys are making me nervous.
Yeah.
Are you coming in, or are you done?
No, we're just doing a picture.
No.
That's not good. She needs to be careful.
If you could just like, stay away for a little bit.
Wait, dude, sideways, sideways.
So I just want to be really careful.
Kill the engines if you get too close to them!
Kill the engines!
-Ah! -Ugh.
Got people in the water! You got people in the water!
Oh my God!
[screams]
Jesus Christ!
Okay, ready?
Your eyelashes are still on,
the implants are still in the body, you're good.
Let's clean this bitch.
Captain Lee, do you have a second?
Sure.
Um, I just kind of got some really bad news
with my grandmother, and unfortunately
I'm going to have to leave, like, as soon as possible,
and I may not get to see her, like, by the end of the night.
I'm sorry to hear that.
We thought, uh, she had the flu,
at first, but it, uh, I guess, wasn't.
She's just old now, and--
-How old is she? -She's 86.
-Oh. -Yeah.
I'm really sorry, this is the last thing I want to do.
No, no, I understand. Family comes first.
Always.
I want to thank you very much for having me on board.
-No, not a problem. -Thank you.
Thank you very much, Captain Lee.
Go ahead and kill the engine.
Oh.
Clip it on.
Okay, copy.
Where do we clip it on to?
No, there's a clip, there's a D-clip in the back there.
Oh, got it.
-No, no, no, wait, stop. -Get your reverse.
Don't forget your reverse.
These guests are like a absolute sh---show.
Get her off.
-Okay. -There you go.
I'm too old for this sh--.
Get on this jet ski.
Go clip it in, okay?
God.
Careful.
Dude, get off me, get off me!
Eddie, Eddie to the wheelhouse, please.
All right, be right there.
-Hi guys. -Hi.
I just brought some snacks for you.
Oh, tortilla chips.
-Some, yep. -So original.
Um...
Wait, is this gluten free?
What's up, Cap?
We just lost a guy.
Avery's grandmother's dying,
she may not make it through the night.
When's he got to go, right now?
Yeah, so let's get him packed and um, get him out of here.
All right. Take him.
-Yeah. -I'll, uh, go talk to him.
What's happening, man?
My grandmother's not doing too hot.
This is the last thing I want to do man,.
I know, I know, I know, and uh, don't worry about us.
Go be with your family.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Good luck.
I feel really bad about leaving Eddie, he really needs me.
But I feel like I have to do it, right now.
I just want to say, thanks again.
I'm so sorry.
Thank you.
You take care of yourself.
Thanks.
All right, stay strong.
Yes, sir.
My best deck hand just tells me he's got to leave,
because of a family emergency.
It is quite understandable.
But now, we're a man down.
We have a thirsty, high maintenance charter guest,
and a new crew.
Let's just say that the future doesn't look overly bright.
We're screwed.
Good to meet you, man.
Yeah, of course. Good luck, dude.
-See you guys off in a minute. -Yeah.
Last thing I would ever want to do was leave.
Especially my crew, especially in the situation
that they're in.
But it was a decision I had to make.
-Thanks, bro. -Cool.
I'm going to definitely come back to yachting.
I couldn't imagine myself doing anything different.
Probably find myself on a boat somewhere in the Caribbean.
-Thanks, dude. -Good luck, man, all right?
Cheers.
No matter what's going on, I'm going to make sure
that my career is going to be successful,
and I'm going to be just like Captain Lee.
This season on Below Deck...
Antigua is the only island in the Caribbean
that has a beach for every day of the year.
Holy [bleep].
How incredible is that?
[screaming]
Just another day saving lives.
[screaming]
Wonder what the poor people are doing today.
Is she alive?
Yes, she's alive.
I'm just thinking fish on fish.
Sorry.
I'm the primary, excuse me. I'm the primary.
Whoops.
Sorry.
I'm not even kidding you, I'm going to put her to bed.
I got my chief stew sobbing uncontrollably.
There's no crying in yachting.
You want me to grab you a phone light?
Rachel's a ticking time bomb.
Boom.
I need to punch some the mother----ing scrotum.
Are you interested in anyone on deck?
Would you say you're open?
Are you open?
Francesca's visually aspirational.
We definitely need to get to know each other better.
He's a bit of a trouble maker.
I kind of like that.
You don't have a boyfriend?
My vibrator is my best friend.
It's given me more orgasms than any other person ever has.
Shane, Shane, Lee.
He doesn't answer his radio.
Running around with no shirt on.
Dude.
This is it, this is the life.
I am your boss, I am your superior.
It's really pissed me off.
You all right, Izzy?
Yeah, just got a camel toe from my pants.
[laughing]
All righty, then.
I hear Coronavirus is a thing.
Oh my God, it's crazy.
You go into the shops, you can't get any
hand sanitizer, soap. It's really bad.
----ing worlds going to hell in a ----ing hand basket.
[alarm ringing]
[bleep] yourself. I'm out.
Get your god damn ass back to this boat, now.
Your charter just ended.
This is enough. I've had enough of you.
I need some help. I can't do this all myself.
Rachel, you can't leave.
We'll let the firings begin.
What?
[laughing]
Awesome.
-[bleep] yeah. -[bleep] yeah.
Kill me.
