Below Deck Sailing Yacht

Sailing on a super yacht

- Sailing on a super yacht is absolutely magical.

All right, sail is coming up.

- You are using nature to move a great big boat.

- Make sure everything's secure inside.

- Yeah. - Still gonna heel over a bit.

- I love that feeling you get when the sails go up,

and the motor turns off. - We are speeding here.

- Okay everybody, we're going to get a big heel.

****

- It also can be quite challenging.

- Yumma. - Yumma.

I'm sailing.

- Greece is the best country for sailing.

Gaios, Kassiopi, Syvota.

- It's amazing. - This is insane.

Welcome to Greece.

- Can you climb up and have a look at the break on the main?

- As a captain, I love being on Parsifal III.

Coming out on the jenny. Keep an eye.

She's 180 feet long, 200 foot mast.

I prefer to be on sailboats,

because getting there is part of the fun.

- Who's driving this thing, anyway?

Oh sh--.

- I've worked on sailboats and motor-yachts.

Sailboats are even harder.

I enjoy a good challenge. So here we are.

You can have four if you want.

- This is what needs to be organized.

It's literally a sh---pile.

I'm not here to coddle you or to give you

a ----ing participation award. Wanna keep crying?

Without me running the deck...

I'll tell you when to throw the line.

- Okay. - There wouldn't be a deck.

- Don't pull me, pull then tender.

I'm not pulling you.

I don't really let people underestimate me.

- Don't get frustrated. - I'm not frustrated.

I honestly don't know if the boat would function without me.

Parker, come on.

- Look. - Lightning round.

Stop the lightning round!

I'm the facilitator of a good time.

- I want to be like you're that girl,

but there's no girl that does that except for you.

I wasn't planning on loving the whole

yachting industry as much as I do.

Okay, how much time do I need?

- Depends if you want it medium rare or well done, really.

But I party like a rock star.

I drink like a sailor. I was born for this sh--.

Ready for the walk of shame.

- I am Lord Byron. I fix things.

Sometimes.

The three fundamental rules of engineering:

always use the right tool for the job.

A hammer is always the right tool.

And anything can be used as a hammer.

The ocean is your oyster.

I am the James Bond of the sailing yacht world.

I've got my gadgets.

I've got beautiful women.

If sh-- goes down, I can figure it out.

I think.

How is that ready?

- I'm going to do it after I get this snaked.

- What do you guys doing? - It's fine, Ciara.

- Take it off the winch. - Grab the tender, quick.

- Get that one off. - **** me.

- What I'm saying has to go, and that's the way that it is.

- I like you. There's gotta be something there.

- I do not get pissed off. I am pissed off.

- Tie it on. Tie it on.

- It's-- - We touched the dock.

God damn it.

- I don't want it to snap, Paget.

Oh, that's classy.

- I've been Captain on Parsifal for 10 years now.

Over that 10 years, we've been a very busy charter boat.

But for the past nine months,

we've been in the off charter season.

So we had no guests on board, and a skeleton crew

to get everything ready for the next charter season.

- What belt are you wearing? - I'm gonna wear the brown one.

You've gotta help me because I'm not really that good at clothes.

When we were in the offseason, I brought in Ciara and Paget.

Paget was running the deck, and Ciara was running the interior.

So Ciara, Paget, and I are like the core family of Parsifal.

- Thank you. - You're actually funny.

- Paget and I have been dating for four years.

We were friends for a long time.

We started working together.

Then we moved in together to save money.

And then we decided to start dating.

Oh. No, no, no.

Here we are four years later.

No, I don't understand that either.

Okay, so as you guys know,

I've been looking for some extra crew.

I think we've got some really good people coming.

- The best people are on board already.

Exactly.

- You might regret saying that later.

I probably will.

- You know, this is a big change for us.

Boat's still a little bit of a mess from all the stuff

we've been doing, all the prep.

Now we're in charter mode.

And as you guys know, I've decided to put

Ciara on deck for this season.

I know she's a stewardess, but she's also done decks too.

- I've worked on deck on a lot of small boats,

so I know what I'm doing.

And on this boat, I'm kind of the mom on board

because I know the boat inside and out.

But Paget and I have never worked

in the same department. We'll see how it goes.

- We're gonna have people start rocking up pretty soon.

- I'm feeling a little bit nervous

about meeting the new crew.

We did have this family between Glenn, myself, and Ciara.

So yeah, the new crew coming on board, it feels weird.

- How am I doing so far? Do I get an A for effort?

- Maybe it's easier if you do it like this.

You'll get right tired. If you want to just do that.

- Okay. I don't really need a pole that long.

That's what she said.

- Hello. - How you doing?

Guess who's back?

- Paget, nice to meet you. - Adam, nice to meet you.

After a solid year of driving around in my van with my dog,

cooking over an open flame,

I'm still the same grumpy dickheaded asshole

that I've always been.

You guys got your work cut out.

Yeah.

- I'm happy focusing on my food right now, being single,

and not having to share my bunk with anyone.

- Pleasure to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

- I'll be doing some cooking for you.

- Hi. - How's it going?

- This is Ciara. - I'm Ciara.

Adam, nice to meet you.

- All right, let's get the uniform going. Oh.

- The galley. - The domain.

Yeah.

- I got my work cut out for me putting it together.

Oh, God.

- Howdy. - Hi, how you doing?

- Good, how are you? - I'm Glenn.

- Jenna. - Oh, Jenna.

- Nice to meet ya. - Where you coming from?

Canada.

Wow, I grew up in Montreal.

How about you? - Sioux Ste. Marie.

When I was starting out, I worked for this hardcore

Michelin-star trained Chief Stew.

I came up like a goddamned Navy SEAL.

So now I have such high standards,

everything should be perfect.

- Jenna. - This is Ciara.

- Nice to meet you. - Hi.

- Adam. - How's it going?

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

He's cute.

- People are arriving, so we'll start figuring out their cabins.

I'm in the starboard aft.

I'll have the chief engineer in with me.

And then Ciara and Paget are already

in the starboard forward cabin.

They're a couple. - Okay.

So if you have any questions,

Ciara will be able to show you around.

- Okay, cool. - Cool, cool.

- Guess I'll have a look at these cabins.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Nice to meet you. I'm Paget. - I'm Madison.

What's your name? - Paget.

I'm made for yachting.

I'm an Energizer Bunny.

I run on caffeine and candy.

Little bit of Sweet Tarts, little bit of coffee.

I'm good to go.

So nice to meet you guys.

- Nice to meet you, too. - Are you traveling light?

- Everything did fit, like, really neatly, and then I,

like, obviously had to make room for candy.

Obviously the most important thing, right?

- Exactly. - Gotta have sustenance.

I try not to overwhelm people with my energy,

but then it's kind of like natural

and I'm like I'm so sorry.

- Hello. - Hi, how's it going?

- What's your name? - Adam. Nice to meet you.

- Adam, Madison. You're really cooking the grub?

- Yeah. - Appreciate you.

I'm like, how you doing.

And they're like okay, you're a lot.
