I’m Worried Captain Sandy Yawn Might Quit After Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9
Captain Sandy Yawn might be considering leaving the show after this tough charter season ends.
Her recent marriage to Leah Shafer is a highlight of the current season of Below Deck Mediterranean.
Sandy’s more hands-off approach this season may indicate she’s ready for a new chapter in her life.
Below Deck Mediterranean season 9’s Captain Sandy Yawn has been having a tough charter season, and though she’s tough in a storm, I’m worried she might quit after this season’s end. Captain Sandy has been part of the Below Deck franchise for years, joining in for Below Deck Mediterranean season 2 in place of the original Captain on the series, Mark Howard. With years of experience under her belt, Captain Sandy proved that she was the best person for the job after facing a tough charter season and continuing to prevail. Now, she’s been part of the franchise for years.
Captain Sandy can be a polarizing figure among Below Deck viewers, though I believe she sometimes gets treated a bit harshly because she’s the only woman in a sea of male captains. Sandy has been working her whole life to become the Captain of her own charters, and she has a wonderful sense of what the crew she’s working with needs. Though the crew’s stability is only one of many jobs she takes on as Captain, Sandy is great with the people she works with, even if they don’t always agree with her decisions. I’m worried we’re losing Captain Sandy.
Captain Sandy Recently Got Married
Her Engagement Will Be Featured On The Show
While Captain Sandy was quiet about her love life in earlier seasons of Below Deck Mediterranean, she’s opened up about herself in a personal way that will be featured on the current season of the series. Captain Sandy recently married Leah Shafer, a gospel singer and content creator, which she shared on Instagram and documented on various social media platforms. Captain Sandy’s life is changing, and the early days of marriage have been exciting for the superyacht captain.
While Captain Sandy and Leah married in May 2024, the story of their engagement will be featured on an upcoming episode of Below Deck Mediterranean season 9. With Captain Sandy having shared that she never thought she’d find someone who she wanted to be with forever, the sweet story will involve the rest of the Captain’s crew. While I’m thrilled for Captain Sandy, her marriage could mean the end of her time on Below Deck Mediterranean.
