Below Deck Season 12 Cast, Premiere Date & Everything We Know So Far

A lot has been happening in the world of Below Deck as Below Deck Med went out of business and Below Deck Sailing Yacht hit the Bravo airwaves.

Despite all the buzz surrounding the fifth season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht finally premiering, it also raised questions about the OG show.

Captain Kerry Titheradge took over Below Deck for season 11 after captain Lee Rosbach was not asked to return.

This change gave the series a whole new dynamic, even though Below Deck fans weren’t entirely thrilled at first.

However, at the end of the 11th season, Captain Kerry won the hearts of fans who are now impatiently waiting for his return to the small screen.

The good news is that Captain Kerry was spotted filming season 12, which is no surprise considering he is the face of Below Deck.

The cast of Below Deck Season 12

Social media super sleuths first spotted Below Deck Season 12 filming this spring, before Season 11 finished airing on Bravo.

The Sailing Catchin’ Rays 2 team made a YouTube video sharing details about season 12. The footage shows that St. David is back on the yacht and St. Maarten is a location.

In addition to Captain Kerry, Fraser Olender was also spotted in the footage as the main stew. This will be Fraser’s fourth appearance on Below Deck and third as the main stew, making him Kate Chastain’s official successor on the series.

deckhand Kyle Stillie is also back on board, but it is not yet clear whether he is the new bosun or a deckhand again.

Marie “Sunny” Marquis also returns to the deck crew, which is interesting considering her boyfriend, Ben Willoughby, slammed the show and vowed never to appear on it again.

In another interesting turn of events, a Reddit thread claims that chef Anthony Iracane has returned to the kitchen after Captain Kerry fired him in season 11. It’s hard to tell if that’s really the chef in the photo, so take it with a grain of salt.

When will Below Deck Season 12 premiere?

Now that we know that season 12 of the OG series was filmed a few months ago, fans are wondering when it will premiere. You will have to wait a while, because the season of 5 Below Deck Sailing Yachts is just starting.

If Below Deck season 12 airs after the sailing show, it should return to Bravo in late January or early February 2025. However, Below Deck Down Under season 3 still needs to air, which could push Below Deck back to early summer 2025 .

Stay tuned to Monsters and Critics for more updates on Below Deck.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht premieres on Monday, October 7 at 9/8c on Bravo. Below Deck is currently on hiatus from Bravo.
