Let’s be real: Did Captain Jason make the wrong decision firing Adam on Below Deck: Down Under?
Adam Kodra may have formed great connections and friendships with his Below Deck Down Under season 2 co-stars, but every mistake has a consequence.
Captain Jason Chambers fired deckhand Adam Kodra despite his positive attributes and good relationships with the crew. However, an accidental mistake involving the anchor led to his dismissal.
Despite his firing, Adam took the news well and received praise from his former colleagues on social media for his work ethic and character.
Captain Jason explained that his decision was based on experience and safety, emphasizing that while Adam was a valuable asset, the yacht required someone with more expertise. The decision was tough but necessary for the safety of all involved.
Captain Jason Chambers from Below Deck Down Under fired Deckhand Adam Kodra, but it’s believed he deserved to stay on the yacht. The Brooklyn native recently made a mark on reality TV when he debuted on Below Deck Down Under season 2. He joined Captain Jason’s yacht as a deckhand alongside Harry Van Vliet and Culver Bradbury. From day 1, Adam impressed the crew members with his personality and sweet nature. While he was the most inexperienced at his job, he still won everyone’s hearts by being obedient. He ignored former Stew Laura Bileskalne’s advances and focused on work.
Adam had a great journey on Below Deck Down Under. He made friends, had a good relationship with Jason, and didn’t cross anyone’s boundaries. Unfortunately, Adam made a dangerous mistake, which led Captain Jason to fire him in episode 13. The issue happened when Adam accidentally released the anchor on a moving yacht. While it didn’t result in anything major, it was an error that the Captain couldn’t ignore. As a result, he had to let Adam go.

Captain Jason Gives Explanation For Adam’s Firing
Captain Jason also gave his two cents on Adam’s firing and why it was nothing personal. He wrote on Instagram, “I still need to be the captain, and these decisions are based off my experience and safety.” The Below Deck Down Under star explained that Adam was a decent deckhand and an asset to the team. However, the yacht needed someone with more experience. Jason shared that Captains often have to make tough decisions, and letting Adam go was extremely tough. He added, “If I had a yacht with time and man power to accommodate moving others around and training I certainly would have him in my team.”
Did Captain Jason Make The Wrong Decision?
Seeing all the love for Adam makes it seem like Captain Jason made the wrong decision. Adam was an excellent worker and could have learned a lot if he had the chance. Unfortunately, the Captain didn’t have the space or the time to train him on the yacht. Firing a good employee isn’t always easy. However, Jason wore multiple hats and had to think of everyone’s safety above anything else. He fired Adam only because he couldn’t put the yacht, his crew, the Below Deck Down Under production crew, and the guests at risk.
