Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 Crew Members Who Should Return For Season 5 (And Those Who Shouldn’t)

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 has to be as entertaining and dramatic as season 4, and some cast members have to return to the spin-off.

Gary King’s reputation suffered due to his involvement in two love triangles and a recent sexual assault scandal. Bravo may be done with him.
Daisy Kelliher is a must-have team member for Captain Glenn due to her ability to resolve crew drama and handle tough charters well.
Alex Propson and Mads Herrera should return as they had a strong connection in the previous season, and viewers enjoyed watching their bond develop.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht is one of Bravo’s most entertaining spin-offs. It features memorable cast members, over-the-top drama, and various love stories that never fail to amuse fans. The spin-off’s season 4 premiered in April 2023 and was full of surprising moments. One shocking incident happened when Gary King got involved in two love triangles. The first officer tried his luck with chief stew Daisy Kelliher, who already liked chief engineer Colin Macrae. At the same time, Gary was interested in junior stew Mads Herrera, who was into deckhand Alex Propson.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht’s highlight is Captain Glenn Shephard’s calm nature and fatherly relationship with his crew members. Fans love to see the middle-aged Captain resolve problems between his team while executing some of the toughest charters across the sea. Viewers must be waiting for Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5, which should come sometime in quarter 2 of 2024. There is some suggestion that Captain Glenn’s next big adventure is somewhere near Ibiza and should feature many new cast members. The show will also have returning names that fans may or may not want to see again.

Daisy Kelliher (Should Return)

Daisy Kelliher may return despite season 4’s confusing love triangle. Daisy has been part of the show since season 2 and has done an excellent job as the chief stew. While she was involved in much drama during the last season, she is the one who usually resolves the drama between the crew. Therefore, she’s a must-have team member for Captain Glenn. Daisy is also very friendly and handles tough charters well. Moreover, she appears to be a fan favorite.

Gary King (Shouldn’t Return)

While fans may love Daisy, they no longer like her friend Gary. The South African native once won everyone’s hearts with his juvenile charm. Unfortunately, he became more and more unbearable with each passing season. In season 4, Gary was part of two love triangles, and it was clear he wasn’t serious about either. The first officer’s playboy-like behavior ruined his reputation, and the recent sexual assault scandal worsened it. According to Dexerto, Gary was recently supposed to appear on BravoCon. However, he was removed from the lineup following the misconduct allegation. It’s possible that Bravo is done with him.

Alex Propson (Should Return)

Alex was a surprising new addition to Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4. He proved himself a terrific deckhand and won fans over with his personality. BravoTV’s official website calls Alex a “natural-born flirt.” However, his treatment of Mads during season 4 proves he’s a good guy. Alex would be a perfect fit for Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5. He can resume his connection with Mads if she returns to the show or makes new friends. Alex has a great screen presence, and Captain Glenn wouldn’t regret bringing him in.

Mads Herrera (Should Return)

Alex’s love interest, Mads, was also an exceptionally good crew member during season 4. She was a junior stewardess and could return as the second stew on the Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5. Mads is a great pick for another season because of her unfinished story with Alex. Viewers enjoyed watching the two crew members bond, but Gary’s involvement ruined their connection. If Mads returns, she can pick up where she left. The young stew has often said she should have spent more time with Alex. Maybe she can do that in season 5.

Colin Macrae (Shouldn’t Return)

Like Gary, fans must be completely over chief engineer Colin Macrae. Viewers have seen Colin for the last three seasons of Below Deck Sailing Yacht. While he had maintained a good image for the first two, he dropped the ball in season 4 by not treating Daisy right. The love between colleagues turned friends is never a good idea, and Colin proved that in the last season. Things would be even more awkward if he returned to the show with Daisy. Colin would benefit more from taking a break or joining another Below Deck spin-off.

Chase Lemacks (Should Return)

Chase Lemacks is the charming young new deckhand who deserves more experience under Captain Glenn. The South Carolina man has only been in the yachting business for less than four years but has already proved himself an excellent crew member by learning on the job. He has also called out Gary publicly on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, which makes him a winner in fans’ eyes. Chase has just begun his big career and is confident on-screen. He has the potential to provide a lot of on-screen entertainment and give fans many memorable moments in season 5.

Lucy Edmunds (Should Return)

Lucy Edmunds should also return to Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5. Lucy is liked because she was one of the most entertaining cast members in season 4. Her facial expressions, confessional videos, and moods were must-watch moments last time. Additionally, she wasn’t romantically involved with her crew members. If Lucy returns to the show, she has much to offer to viewers. She can try to make a romantic connection with someone or surprise fans by avoiding romance. Besides her quirky responses and hilarious personality, Lucy has much she can do on the yacht.

Ileisha Dell (Shouldn’t Return)

Chef Ileisha Dell can return to Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5, but it would probably not help the ratings. Ileisha is an excellent chef with 17 years of experience. However, she was non-existent in the on-screen drama, making her one of the most boring parts of season 4. Ideally, the network would benefit by casting a new chef with a better screen presence and a more notable personality. Captain Glenn’s crew for Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 needs someone like chef Dave White or an unforgettable culinary expert such as Ben Robinson.
