Below Deck (2013–…): Season 4, Episode 1 - No One Said This Job Was Easy - full transcript
Captain Lee, Kate, Ben and Kelley are joined by five new crewmembers as they prepare for a new charter season. The crew welcomes their first charter guests, a social media obsessed darling ...
Blue waters, sailing,
rainbows.
They all look so beautiful
- from the porthole
- in the laundry room.
I feel like
I'm being punished.
- Starting a new charter season,
I'm stoked.
I'm ready for a whole new set
of challenges from the crew...
- Do you really want
- to go to war on this?
From the guests...
- I can't let go of the pole.
- I don't blame you.
From the weather.
- F...!
- [glass shatters]
- Sometimes things
- going sideways gets exciting.
- I wasn't the most thrilled
- to see you when I got on board.
- Yes!
- Coming back to work
- for Captain Lee
Is trial by fire.
- Are we clear?
- Yep, we're clear.
- Good, I want it done.
- Am I nervous?
- Hell, yeah.
- I've been cooking
professionally for 17 years,
so I'm prepared for anything
that's gonna come in the door.
- Mix those separately.
- That dog is probably
- healthier than I am.
90% of my job is just acting
- like everything's fine
- when it's not.
- [hair rips]
- [screaming]
Both: Thank you.
- It's kind of sick,
- the back hair
- That I carried away
- on a silver tray.
- Is this shackle?
- Yeah, that'll work.
- - When the boatswain's
- not there,
I am in charge
of the deckies.
And I need to know that
my deckhands respect me.
- Nico, go drain the hot tub now,
- quick, quick.
- My name is Nico.
They also call me Freako,
because of my, uh, misconduct.
- Actually, that's quite nice.
I love Nico so much;
he's so cute.
- Elvis is out, people, huh!
- Being on deck, you know,
it's predominantly male-driven.
- .
- All right, you guys, come on.
- A lot of times,
- guys will be like...
- It's kind of heavy.
- You okay with it?
- I'm like,
- "I can carry it. It's fine."
- She's strong.
- But all my makeup
Is waterproof,
'cause I sweat buckets.
- I usually give off
first impressions
of being very normal
and conforming,
but I'm not really
that normal.
[thumping club music]
- [cheering]
- Yeah-yeah!
- This position is definitely
- the most exciting
Position in the world.
- My whole life, I've been
- a happy, precocious,
Free-spirited...
[people humming mantras]
Humble person.
- The people that charter
these boats know what they want.
- I want my feet rubbed,
- and I'm not kidding.
- And it's up to us
- to deliver.
- Yeah, we're gonna
- give it to you.
[cheering]
- God bless America,
let's have f... ing fun.
[cheering]
- It's an unknown journey.
- I'm here to work.
- I'm not here
- to have drama.
- It's dangerous.
- What the f...?
- That is a power line.
- Oh, sh...
- - It's chaotic.
- Sh...!
- I'd be surprised
- if we got
- Through it
- without a casualty or two.
- God damn it!
- Ooh!
- But... nature of the beast.

- Oh, my gosh.
This is like my dream interior.
I am so happy.
I'm so happy to see you here,
and you, love you.
- Hey, kiddo.
- Hi, how are you?
I always enjoy working
for Captain Lee.
We know each other's quirks,
we know each other's strengths,
and he trusts me.
What's not to trust?
- Third time around.
- The charm.
- What do you think?
- Best boat we've ever had.
- She just came out
- of a total refit on the inside.
- There is nothing on this boat
- that's not white.
- I love that.
- As far as your stews go,
- I brought you résumés.
They're both experienced.
- Oh, she's British,
- okay, cool.
- Coming onto a boat
- with two new stews
Is definitely nerve-wracking.
- Down to the crew quarters.
- All right, sweetie.
- But anything's gonna be easier
than working with Rocky.
- I need you to be thankful
- for this experience.
- This is me.
- Don't...
- [crying]
- She's gonna jump.
- Yeah, she's jumping.
- Welcome back.
- Good to be back.
- Captain Lee?
Hey, Captain, how you doing?
- Our last charter season,
- I was with Captain Lee,
I was a second engineer,
- and this season,
- I'm coming in as boatswain.
- This is me stepping up
- and hopefully
- Doing at least as good
- as Eddie.
- I believe everybody
gets a second opportunity.
And I really don't want
to see you screw the pooch.
- I don't plan on it.
- I'm hoping that
- you've grown up
In the last couple of years.
- Yes, sir.
- First time didn't go
- too hot.
- We have nothing
to talk about.
You need to go
to your quarters.
- Happy birthday to Kelley!
- [retching]
- Why are we not on deck?
- [banging]
- Wake up!
- I'm still drunk.
I want to show Captain Lee
- that this is my career;
- this is what
- I want to do
- with the rest of my life.
- We got a pretty good
- crew for you.
- You've got a senior deckhand;
- he's been in
- A boatswain's position before.
- Okay.
- And then you've got
- a girl and another guy.
Both of them are experienced,
- so you shouldn't have
- any issues.
- Perfect.
- They're your responsibility.
If your crew's screwing up,
- you're the one I'm gonna
- come looking for.
- Running three people
- can be very difficult.
- You got to get them all
- working as a team
- To accomplish a goal
- without fighting each other,
Or fighting me.
- Hi.
- Hey.
- Long time, no see.
- I know.
- So you decided
- to go one more round?
- Yeah, yeah.
- That's great.
Even though I haven't seen
Kelley in a long time,
I am friends
with his sister Amy,
and I have heard about how many
courses Kelley has taken
and how determined he is to
impress Captain Lee this time.
- Hopefully we can
do pretty well this season.
- Hello, lovely to meet you.
- Good to meet you. Kelley.
- Emily.
- Nice to meet you.
- Hi.
- Hello, lovely to meet you.
- I'm Kate.
- Emily.
- I've been single
for eight months now.
- So you're my stewardess,
- one of them.
- I'm your stewardess, yes.
- But the problem is,
- it's been five months of no sex.
- Here, let's
- get you comfortable.
- Trouble. It's just gonna
be trouble for me.
Oh, sh...
- Hey, how's it going, man?
- Kelley.
- Kelley. Nico.
- Hi, I'm Kate.
- Nico, nice to meet you.
- I grew up on the outskirts
- of Chicago.
I was one of five boys.
My father wasn't around,
so my mom raised us by herself.
- You're gonna be up
- in starboard forward.
- Okay.
- It was very difficult.
- I wasn't making
- The right decisions.
- I wasn't doing good in school.
But I moved down to Florida
to begin yachting at 18,
and I kind of turned my life
around for the best.
Definitely taking top bunk.
- Hi. Lauren.
- Nice to meet you.
- Kelley, nice to meet you.
- Hi, Kelley.
- Kate... actually,
- you're gonna be my roommate.
- Oh, really?
- Yeah.
- So where you from?
- Australia.
- What part?
- Melbourne.
- I'm from Melbourne...
- Oh, really?
- Florida.
- So you're Melbourne
- down under,
And I'm Melbourne up over.
- Yeah.
- We're like cousins.
- I got into yachting
- 'cause I was
A scuba diving instructor
in Central America.
My first gig was on Sir Richard
Branson's sailing yacht.
So that was a really good
first job
- to sort of understand
- all the aspects of yachting,
Which I thought was awesome.
- Yeah, go ahead
- and get changed over,
- And then meet Nico
- out on the deck.
- Okay, cool.
- How's it going?
- Kelley.
- Trevor, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
All right, Lauren, Trevor.
- Hi, Trevor,
- nice to meet you... Lauren.
- Senior deckhand.
This is Kate.
- Kate, Trevor,
- senior deckhand.
- I'm Emily.
- Trevor, I'm senior deckhand.
- I'm labeling your uniform.
- Thank you.
- On a boat this size,
- usually I'd be the boatswain.
You want to show me my bunk?
- Yeah, you're gonna
- grab your clothes.
- But I came on
- as senior deckhand
- 'cause you take what comes
- at you and you run with it.
- Which room am I?
- Port forward.
- I don't consider myself
- a boss,
- 'cause I've been
- in the lower person's shoes,
- And I've worked my way up,
- so I understand that.
- So if I had the choice of boss,
- it'd probably be me.
- Wow, this place is nice.
[knocking]
- Ben.
- Hello.
[laughter]
- - The funny thing about
- this boat, "Valor,"
Is, I actually worked on it
12 years ago
as a day worker.
- And I just thought,
- how wonderful would it be
To cook on a boat like this?
- You check out your galley?
- Yeah, it's lovely,
it's clean.
Having just come back
from the Mediterranean,
it's really nice to work
another season with Kate.
- Oh, there she is.
- Hi.
- What's up?
- Nothing, how are you?
- Good, how are you?
- Good.
- We've been great friends,
and we were a little more
than that at one point.
- Getting the tour?
- Yeah.
Both: Nice.
- But sometimes that does
complicate
our working relationship.
This is a proper boat.
- Yes.
- Whoa.
- I see weights.
- They're like 5 pounds.
- Not enough.
So do you have anybody special
in your life right now?
- Yeah, I am
- dating somebody.
- Who?
- I just met her.
- Ooh, a her, huh?
- Yeah, it's new.
- That's awesome.
- [chuckles]
- I was not expecting that.
- You know,
- it really doesn't matter,
As long as it makes you happy.
- So my girlfriend's name is Ro.
- She's, like,
- a professional athlete.
She wears combat boots.
- I think it shows
- how great she is,
To make me attracted to a girl,
'cause I never was.
Am I gay, am I not gay?
I don't know.
I am in sexual limbo,
and not like in a fun
"Kama Sutra page 96" way,
intermediate level
sexual limbo.
It's complicated.
It's crazy.
- That's cool.
- Yeah.
- So how's it going?
- How's it going, Nico?
- Trevor.
- Good to meet you, man.
- Senior deckhand.
- Thank you.
- So, guys, Trevor's gonna be
- the senior deckhand,
- So what he says goes, 'cause
- it's probably coming from me.
- Just because we are
- higher-ups,
- Feel free to bounce
- things off of us.
- I mean, we don't
- know everything.
- Higher-up, okay, that's fine.
I worked on a 223-foot
super-yacht with 17 crew.
So I think I know
what higher-up means.
- If he doesn't know exactly
- what he thinks about it,
- He'll bounce it off me,
- and we'll make a decision.
Smarter, not harder.
- "Hey, I'm Trevor,
- I'm the senior deckhand."
- My one rule is,
- don't f... around
- with the guests.
We're here to serve them.
- We're not here
- to party with them.
- We're not their friends.
- Yeah.
- If I catch you kissing a guest
- or something like that,
- I'm gonna have you gone
- as quick as possible.
- Trevor's been a boatswain.
- He's been a first mate
On a smaller yacht; Nico
and Lauren are experienced.
- And it looks like I'm gonna have
- a pretty strong deck crew.
- Let's just tone it down a bit.
- I don't know what
- you think of us.
- I mean, the guests
- are coming tomorrow.
I've got so much to do.
- Do you want us to be
- going around and doing...
- Gonna be doing, like,
- hot shots with the boat?
That's a great name.
- I love that surname.
- Sierra Storm,
- sounds like a super hero.
- That's amazing.
- Attention all crew,
- we got provisions now.
- So let's get everybody
- out there to load it up.
- How heavy is it?
- It's pretty heavy.
- Oh, it is heavy.
- You can definitely
- handle this one.
- Oh, yeah.
- I love your company
so much.
- And you see the soft-shell?
- Oh, good, I love
- soft-shell crab, do you?
- Oh, absolutely.
- Is that Ben's voice I hear?
- Hey.
- What's going on?
- How's it going?
- Very good.
How are you?
- Oh, looks like you got
- plenty of food in there.
- So you're in charge this year,
- are you?
- Yeah.
- Wow, Kelley is the boatswain.
Good luck, champ.
- Well, that's good.
- It's a little terrifying.
- It's probably more terrifying
- for them, I'd imagine.
[laughter]
- So do we have everyone?
Did your other stew come?
- Not yet.
- Not yet, oh, okay.
- I'll have to check
- with the captain.
- We could use her help,
- for sure.
- Do you know what time
- my third stew's arriving?
- No, no, I don't.
- This is not good.
- With less than 24 hours
- before charter guests arrive,
There is so much to do.
- But I will look into that.
- It's just a lot of work.
Sh...
- Nico, I saw you trying
to take the top bunk.
Sorry, I took the top bunk.
I know you're tall,
but I'm senior deckhand.
- Let's get smashing.
- Where you from
- originally, Trevor?
- Born in Atlanta,
- but Pensacola Beach, Florida,
- is home.
I've been around the world.
I've been a competitive surfer.
- Been a hair model
- for Paul Mitchell.
Did 100-ton captain's lessons
and engineering courses.
I've worked in yachting
for about 3 1/2 years.
- I was a boatswain
- of a 164-foot,
Had three deckhands under me.
I was also first mate
of a 130-foot.
- Just continue minding your line;
- never forget about that.
So, yeah, I mean,
I know my boat sh...
Whoo.
- Hello, nice to meet you.
- Hello, how are you?
- I'm Emily.
- Where are you from?
- The U.K.
- Yeah, so am I.
- You're British?
- Yeah, where you from?
- London.
I've been yachting
for the last 2 1/2 years.
I've cruised across
the whole of the Med,
the Caribbean.
- So you spent all your time
- in London, did you?
- I went to boarding school
in Sussex.
- Okay, which one?
- Eastbourne College.
- I went to Bradfield.
- I was very much into academia,
- and I was going to go
- to Cambridge
To study psychology
and politics,
- but I wanted a bit more
- out of life.
And I love adventure.
- I'm only 21;
- you only live once.
And it is the time of life
to experience things
- that you're not able
- to do later on
- When you want to settle down,
- maybe.
- Attention all crew.
I need everybody
in the main salon.
- Copy.
- Deck crew,
- here's your response.
[indistinct chatter]
- Okay.
The first thing
I want to go over is,
your stew never made the plane.
- Okay.
- So we're short.
- Sh...
- If you need me,
- I'll help.
- I know, thank you.
- Guests arrive tomorrow.
For those of you who
don't know how I run a boat,
it's pretty simple.
You do your job.
You don't embarrass yourself.
- And you don't
- embarrass the boat.
We're not having cocktails
while we're on charter.
Follow those three rules, and
we're gonna get along just fine.
- Obviously none of us want
- to screw up for Captain Lee.
- You know, he's got
- high standards,
- But we have our basics,
- which is, as long as
- The job's done,
- you can do what you want.
- Just, you know,
- don't be a dick-head.
- I always walk around with
some cash and plane tickets,
- but I'd like to set
- a record this year
For just keeping
one whole crew intact.
Barry and Larry is our
1st officer and chief engineer.
- I expect you
- to cooperate with them
- As much as you cooperate
- with me.
We'll all make lots of money,
and things go a lot smoother.
Carry on, we're good.
- So how are you going
- with the shirts down there?
- I'm ironing all of them?
- I like ironing
- all of them before.
- I don't want to have
- a mad dash.
- So we know what we have
- to get done
- Now that we have
- one less set of hands.
- I think Emily's gonna be
- a great second stew.
- Okay, great.
- Yay.
- She seems experienced, sweet,
confident... I love her.
She's adorable.
- Yeah, she's English,
- that's why.
- Nico, girlfriend back home?
- Kind of with someone,
- but we just recently
- started talking.
- Oh, so it's just fresh.
- Yeah.
- So you're talking to someone
- but not dating someone.
- Yeah, what about you guys?
- Oh, I'm single as can be.
- Single and ready to mingle?
- Yeah.
- What about you there, Lauren?
- I'd say probably single
- as a Pringle.
Let's put it that way.
- Ooh, that's good;
- Pringles are f... ing delicious,
- By the way.
- They're great.
- Eye-candy-wise,
- Nico and Kelley,
- You know, they're both cute
- and flirty.
- I mean, it's nice to work
- with someone
- That's good to look at,
- you know?
- Once you pop,
- you can't stop, eh?
- [laughs]
- - Ben, Kate, Kelley,
- I need you guys
- Down in the crew mess
- in five minutes
For prepping meeting.
- Copy.
- First one,
we have eight ladies.
Our primary, Allison,
- she owns
- her own clothing line.
- Apparently she's
- Instagram friends
- With all of the other girls
- that are involved,
But they've never, ever met.
- If you meet your friends
on Instagram,
you never say
you met on Instagram.
- Whoa, she's hot.
- Wow.
- It says they want
- a beach picnic, by the way.
- And they want a theme party
based on social media.
- Each meal,
they could like or dislike.
- I don't know about that.
- Carley Faircloth
loves escargot.
The primary hates escargot.
- Someone doesn't like seafood,
others do like seafood,
which makes it, you know,
a little difficult
if you're the chef.
- I don't think they could
- actually agree
On one single plate.
Hashtag "effing nightmare."
- I'm gonna follow her
- on Instagram
- So I can go
- on her next yacht trip.
- Okay.
- Become virtual friends
- with her?
- Like it all, yeah.
- Where you guys at back here?
- We're just drying now.
- Do y'all need brushes,
just need blades?
- You don't need hoses
- anymore or anything?
- No, that's the only one
- we need, right there...
- Just make sure, when you're
- done with any hose, drain it.
- So, Lauren, have you ever
- worked on a boat before?
- Well, I have, actually.
- Well, just in case
- you didn't know,
- I'm gonna tell you
- how to do everything.
- Please, do.
[laughs]
- So how are you feeling?
- I'm mentally preparing for it.
- Yeah, tomorrow, one of us
- will go down vacuuming,
- And then we have to fold
- toilet paper and stuff.
- Yeah, how would you
- like the fold done?
- Diamond with a fan.
- Okay, yeah.
- So are you dating anybody?
- No, I've just...
- On my previous boat,
- I was in a relationship,
But they're over now.
- Are you dating anyone
- at the moment?
- I actually am.
- Just only, like,
- a month and a half.
- So we're just in that
- really happy phase.
- How did you meet?
- A bar in my hometown.
- I had just come back
- to the town.
She had just come back
to the town.
- Oh, it's a she.
- Yeah.
- Oh, wow.
- Yeah, it's my first time
dating a girl, actually.
- At first, I was like, I really
- like hanging out with her,
- But I don't want to give her
- the wrong idea
'cause I'm not a lesbian.
- But then, one night,
- I kissed her.
- I don't know
- where it came from.
- She just seems like
- a really cool person.
- I don't know
- how to describe it.
- It's like, I was never
- in the closet.
- I just kind of went
- in the closet for a second,
Picked out a new outfit,
and came right back out.
- But you've never felt
- attracted to girls until now?
- No, no, never.
- All crew, dinner is ready.
- Oh, this looks awesome.
- It smells awesome.
- Mmm!
- How was your day?
- Pretty busy?
- A lot of exterior
- on this boat.
- Yeah, especially
- for this size.
- My old boat was
- a lot bigger than this,
And we only had five outside.
- How big
- was your last boat?
- Uh, 67 meters.
- That's big.
- That's big.
- Nico, I saw you trying
- to take the top bunk.
Sorry, I took the top bunk.
- I went in there,
- I was like, "No way."
- I know you're tall,
- but I'm the senior deckhand.
- [laughs]
- Are you serious right now?
Bad start.
All right, my coffin,
here I go.
- Good night.
- Good night.
- What's up, big guy?
- Oh. F...
- That is f... ed up.
- So how are you feeling
about our two-stew adventure?
- We're just not gonna stop.
- - The fact that Emily
- is not freaking out
About not having a third stew
proves to me that she knows,
in yachting,
things happen
you can't control,
- and all you can do
- is move forward.
- I'm just gonna need you
- to be my right hand.
Like, I trust your judgment.
- I can tell you know
- what you're doing.
- What's your Instagram name?
- The World Wanderer.
Sounds majestic, doesn't it?
Hashtag "awesome."
- Attention all crew,
- charter guests
- will be arriving in one hour.
- Where's the spinach?
What's this?
- I can't deal with these
- provisions arriving the day of.
- I don't have
- any of my sh... yet.
- What are you missing?
- Four pounds of spinach.
Favorite: spinach smoothie.
- That's her favorite.
But it's not her only.
- Doesn't matter, babe.
- I ordered four pounds
- of f... ing spinach...
- Okay, Popeye,
- get your spinach.
- They charged us for it,
- and it didn't show up.
- - Kate, Kate,
- we got provisions on the dock.
- Do we have any spinach
- in here?
- Perfect.
It's all here, it's all here.
- All right, good.
- Yay, spinach.
- Sorry if I'm freaking out,
but it's f... ing hot in here,
- and the guests are arriving
- in an hour,
And my f... ing galley
is filled with sh...
- Ben can be
very temperamental,
in case you haven't noticed.
- - Attention all crew, I need
- everybody on the aft deck
In five minutes.
Five minutes.
- Hey, Kate.
- Yeah?
- No ties, right?
- No.
- You guys can lead the way.
It's all good.
I'm so excited!
- Hashtag "excited."
- And here they are.
- Hi!
- Who is this?
Is this our stew?
- She'll be working double time
- to make up for it.
- Hello, there.
- Hi!
- Welcome aboard.
- Captain Lee.
- Nice to meet you.
- I'm Allison.
- Pleasure, Allison.
- Hi, welcome.
No amount of planning
or grocery shopping
- will ever get rid
- of the anxiety
- Of when the guests
- are walking on the boat.
- Hi.
- They go from being
- complete strangers
- To the center of your universe
- in about three seconds.
- Kelley.
- Kelsey, nice to meet you.
- Oh, Kelsey.
Ooh, sh...
I'm in trouble.
- Ladies,
- welcome aboard "Valor."
- Thank you.
- Thanks for having us.
- Kate is gonna show you
- around the boat.
- Ladies, if you're ready
- to go inside.
- Sure. Sure.
- Thank you, Kate.
- My pleasure.
- Oh, it's so nice.
Ooh.
- This is so pretty.
- Beautiful.
- So this is our main salon.
- I'm gonna be hanging
- in here all day.
- Oh, my God,
- look at the wine rack.
- I think it's everything
- I listed.
- So, Allison,
- this is your room.
- Oh, my God.
- It's not big enough.
- It's not big enough.
- [woman screams]
- I'll sleep in here!
- It's amazing.
- Gorgeous.
- Oh, my God.
- Your bathroom?
Look at the bathtub!
- Holy sh...
- I mean, your toilet
- sings to you.
- Oh, my God,
- I have this in my house.
- Oh, you know how
- to use it, then.
- Kate, you're my hero.
- Oh, awesome.
- [grunting]
- There's bodies
- in all these bags.
[laughter]
- It's gorgeous.
- It's so clean and bright.
- Oh, my gosh.
- Oh, this is so nice.
- This is so nice.
- Hey, Trevor.
- I'm sweating
- like a whore in church.
You should see me
when I played college soccer.
I was, like, drenched.
- Gross.
- The very top is the fun level.
- - Someone's gonna go tits-up on
- these stairs, I just know it.
- So there's a great
- Jacuzzi tub.
- Oh, my God.
- And then we have what we call
- the bunny pad,
- Where you all can lay out,
- get sun.
- Oh, sh...
- It's amazing.
- Should we... swimsuit?
- Yes.
- So hungry.
- That was just a welcome drink.
We also have rosé, champagne.
What do you really want?
- Chardonnay.
- No chardonnay.
- I'm down with the rosé.
- Tequila soda.
- Club soda.
- Three rosés, a club soda,
and a tequila soda.
- That one goes left.
- To the left.
- This one... no, no, left.
- Okay, deck crew,
- go ahead and change over
- to white shorts and polos.
- Nice, I'm drenched.
- Let's go put
- our bathing suits on.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Ow.
- This is, like, not a boat.
[laughs]
- - Kelley, I need you
- to get the deck crew
- In position, please.
- - Roger that.
- I'm really self-conscious
- of that, wearing blue underwear.
Can you see them?
- No.
- [chuckles]
- All right, let's go.
- Nico, let us know...
[indistinct]
- Okay, stern line's clear,
stern line's clear.
- Hi.
- This is the tequila.
- Thank you.
- Oh, thank you.
[indistinct radio chatter]
- Sweet, you're good.
- Talking to me?
- To all of us.
- First time off the dock
- in Tortola,
- Lauren and Nico
- are where they need to be.
Trevor did a good job.
That offsets his annoying
behavior just a little bit.
Perfect.
- Will you go down
- to the twin room
rainbows.
They all look so beautiful
- from the porthole
- in the laundry room.
I feel like
I'm being punished.
- Starting a new charter season,
I'm stoked.
I'm ready for a whole new set
of challenges from the crew...
- Do you really want
- to go to war on this?
From the guests...
- I can't let go of the pole.
- I don't blame you.
From the weather.
- F...!
- [glass shatters]
- Sometimes things
- going sideways gets exciting.
- I wasn't the most thrilled
- to see you when I got on board.
- Yes!
- Coming back to work
- for Captain Lee
Is trial by fire.
- Are we clear?
- Yep, we're clear.
- Good, I want it done.
- Am I nervous?
- Hell, yeah.
- I've been cooking
professionally for 17 years,
so I'm prepared for anything
that's gonna come in the door.
- Mix those separately.
- That dog is probably
- healthier than I am.
90% of my job is just acting
- like everything's fine
- when it's not.
- [hair rips]
- [screaming]
Both: Thank you.
- It's kind of sick,
- the back hair
- That I carried away
- on a silver tray.
- Is this shackle?
- Yeah, that'll work.
- - When the boatswain's
- not there,
I am in charge
of the deckies.
And I need to know that
my deckhands respect me.
- Nico, go drain the hot tub now,
- quick, quick.
- My name is Nico.
They also call me Freako,
because of my, uh, misconduct.
- Actually, that's quite nice.
I love Nico so much;
he's so cute.
- Elvis is out, people, huh!
- Being on deck, you know,
it's predominantly male-driven.
- .
- All right, you guys, come on.
- A lot of times,
- guys will be like...
- It's kind of heavy.
- You okay with it?
- I'm like,
- "I can carry it. It's fine."
- She's strong.
- But all my makeup
Is waterproof,
'cause I sweat buckets.
- I usually give off
first impressions
of being very normal
and conforming,
but I'm not really
that normal.
[thumping club music]
- [cheering]
- Yeah-yeah!
- This position is definitely
- the most exciting
Position in the world.
- My whole life, I've been
- a happy, precocious,
Free-spirited...
[people humming mantras]
Humble person.
- The people that charter
these boats know what they want.
- I want my feet rubbed,
- and I'm not kidding.
- And it's up to us
- to deliver.
- Yeah, we're gonna
- give it to you.
[cheering]
- God bless America,
let's have f... ing fun.
[cheering]
- It's an unknown journey.
- I'm here to work.
- I'm not here
- to have drama.
- It's dangerous.
- What the f...?
- That is a power line.
- Oh, sh...
- - It's chaotic.
- Sh...!
- I'd be surprised
- if we got
- Through it
- without a casualty or two.
- God damn it!
- Ooh!
- But... nature of the beast.

- Oh, my gosh.
This is like my dream interior.
I am so happy.
I'm so happy to see you here,
and you, love you.
- Hey, kiddo.
- Hi, how are you?
I always enjoy working
for Captain Lee.
We know each other's quirks,
we know each other's strengths,
and he trusts me.
What's not to trust?
- Third time around.
- The charm.
- What do you think?
- Best boat we've ever had.
- She just came out
- of a total refit on the inside.
- There is nothing on this boat
- that's not white.
- I love that.
- As far as your stews go,
- I brought you résumés.
They're both experienced.
- Oh, she's British,
- okay, cool.
- Coming onto a boat
- with two new stews
Is definitely nerve-wracking.
- Down to the crew quarters.
- All right, sweetie.
- But anything's gonna be easier
than working with Rocky.
- I need you to be thankful
- for this experience.
- This is me.
- Don't...
- [crying]
- She's gonna jump.
- Yeah, she's jumping.
- Welcome back.
- Good to be back.
- Captain Lee?
Hey, Captain, how you doing?
- Our last charter season,
- I was with Captain Lee,
I was a second engineer,
- and this season,
- I'm coming in as boatswain.
- This is me stepping up
- and hopefully
- Doing at least as good
- as Eddie.
- I believe everybody
gets a second opportunity.
And I really don't want
to see you screw the pooch.
- I don't plan on it.
- I'm hoping that
- you've grown up
In the last couple of years.
- Yes, sir.
- First time didn't go
- too hot.
- We have nothing
to talk about.
You need to go
to your quarters.
- Happy birthday to Kelley!
- [retching]
- Why are we not on deck?
- [banging]
- Wake up!
- I'm still drunk.
I want to show Captain Lee
- that this is my career;
- this is what
- I want to do
- with the rest of my life.
- We got a pretty good
- crew for you.
- You've got a senior deckhand;
- he's been in
- A boatswain's position before.
- Okay.
- And then you've got
- a girl and another guy.
Both of them are experienced,
- so you shouldn't have
- any issues.
- Perfect.
- They're your responsibility.
If your crew's screwing up,
- you're the one I'm gonna
- come looking for.
- Running three people
- can be very difficult.
- You got to get them all
- working as a team
- To accomplish a goal
- without fighting each other,
Or fighting me.
- Hi.
- Hey.
- Long time, no see.
- I know.
- So you decided
- to go one more round?
- Yeah, yeah.
- That's great.
Even though I haven't seen
Kelley in a long time,
I am friends
with his sister Amy,
and I have heard about how many
courses Kelley has taken
and how determined he is to
impress Captain Lee this time.
- Hopefully we can
do pretty well this season.
- Hello, lovely to meet you.
- Good to meet you. Kelley.
- Emily.
- Nice to meet you.
- Hi.
- Hello, lovely to meet you.
- I'm Kate.
- Emily.
- I've been single
for eight months now.
- So you're my stewardess,
- one of them.
- I'm your stewardess, yes.
- But the problem is,
- it's been five months of no sex.
- Here, let's
- get you comfortable.
- Trouble. It's just gonna
be trouble for me.
Oh, sh...
- Hey, how's it going, man?
- Kelley.
- Kelley. Nico.
- Hi, I'm Kate.
- Nico, nice to meet you.
- I grew up on the outskirts
- of Chicago.
I was one of five boys.
My father wasn't around,
so my mom raised us by herself.
- You're gonna be up
- in starboard forward.
- Okay.
- It was very difficult.
- I wasn't making
- The right decisions.
- I wasn't doing good in school.
But I moved down to Florida
to begin yachting at 18,
and I kind of turned my life
around for the best.
Definitely taking top bunk.
- Hi. Lauren.
- Nice to meet you.
- Kelley, nice to meet you.
- Hi, Kelley.
- Kate... actually,
- you're gonna be my roommate.
- Oh, really?
- Yeah.
- So where you from?
- Australia.
- What part?
- Melbourne.
- I'm from Melbourne...
- Oh, really?
- Florida.
- So you're Melbourne
- down under,
And I'm Melbourne up over.
- Yeah.
- We're like cousins.
- I got into yachting
- 'cause I was
A scuba diving instructor
in Central America.
My first gig was on Sir Richard
Branson's sailing yacht.
So that was a really good
first job
- to sort of understand
- all the aspects of yachting,
Which I thought was awesome.
- Yeah, go ahead
- and get changed over,
- And then meet Nico
- out on the deck.
- Okay, cool.
- How's it going?
- Kelley.
- Trevor, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
All right, Lauren, Trevor.
- Hi, Trevor,
- nice to meet you... Lauren.
- Senior deckhand.
This is Kate.
- Kate, Trevor,
- senior deckhand.
- I'm Emily.
- Trevor, I'm senior deckhand.
- I'm labeling your uniform.
- Thank you.
- On a boat this size,
- usually I'd be the boatswain.
You want to show me my bunk?
- Yeah, you're gonna
- grab your clothes.
- But I came on
- as senior deckhand
- 'cause you take what comes
- at you and you run with it.
- Which room am I?
- Port forward.
- I don't consider myself
- a boss,
- 'cause I've been
- in the lower person's shoes,
- And I've worked my way up,
- so I understand that.
- So if I had the choice of boss,
- it'd probably be me.
- Wow, this place is nice.
[knocking]
- Ben.
- Hello.
[laughter]
- - The funny thing about
- this boat, "Valor,"
Is, I actually worked on it
12 years ago
as a day worker.
- And I just thought,
- how wonderful would it be
To cook on a boat like this?
- You check out your galley?
- Yeah, it's lovely,
it's clean.
Having just come back
from the Mediterranean,
it's really nice to work
another season with Kate.
- Oh, there she is.
- Hi.
- What's up?
- Nothing, how are you?
- Good, how are you?
- Good.
- We've been great friends,
and we were a little more
than that at one point.
- Getting the tour?
- Yeah.
Both: Nice.
- But sometimes that does
complicate
our working relationship.
This is a proper boat.
- Yes.
- Whoa.
- I see weights.
- They're like 5 pounds.
- Not enough.
So do you have anybody special
in your life right now?
- Yeah, I am
- dating somebody.
- Who?
- I just met her.
- Ooh, a her, huh?
- Yeah, it's new.
- That's awesome.
- [chuckles]
- I was not expecting that.
- You know,
- it really doesn't matter,
As long as it makes you happy.
- So my girlfriend's name is Ro.
- She's, like,
- a professional athlete.
She wears combat boots.
- I think it shows
- how great she is,
To make me attracted to a girl,
'cause I never was.
Am I gay, am I not gay?
I don't know.
I am in sexual limbo,
and not like in a fun
"Kama Sutra page 96" way,
intermediate level
sexual limbo.
It's complicated.
It's crazy.
- That's cool.
- Yeah.
- So how's it going?
- How's it going, Nico?
- Trevor.
- Good to meet you, man.
- Senior deckhand.
- Thank you.
- So, guys, Trevor's gonna be
- the senior deckhand,
- So what he says goes, 'cause
- it's probably coming from me.
- Just because we are
- higher-ups,
- Feel free to bounce
- things off of us.
- I mean, we don't
- know everything.
- Higher-up, okay, that's fine.
I worked on a 223-foot
super-yacht with 17 crew.
So I think I know
what higher-up means.
- If he doesn't know exactly
- what he thinks about it,
- He'll bounce it off me,
- and we'll make a decision.
Smarter, not harder.
- "Hey, I'm Trevor,
- I'm the senior deckhand."
- My one rule is,
- don't f... around
- with the guests.
We're here to serve them.
- We're not here
- to party with them.
- We're not their friends.
- Yeah.
- If I catch you kissing a guest
- or something like that,
- I'm gonna have you gone
- as quick as possible.
- Trevor's been a boatswain.
- He's been a first mate
On a smaller yacht; Nico
and Lauren are experienced.
- And it looks like I'm gonna have
- a pretty strong deck crew.
- Let's just tone it down a bit.
- I don't know what
- you think of us.
- I mean, the guests
- are coming tomorrow.
I've got so much to do.
- Do you want us to be
- going around and doing...
- Gonna be doing, like,
- hot shots with the boat?
That's a great name.
- I love that surname.
- Sierra Storm,
- sounds like a super hero.
- That's amazing.
- Attention all crew,
- we got provisions now.
- So let's get everybody
- out there to load it up.
- How heavy is it?
- It's pretty heavy.
- Oh, it is heavy.
- You can definitely
- handle this one.
- Oh, yeah.
- I love your company
so much.
- And you see the soft-shell?
- Oh, good, I love
- soft-shell crab, do you?
- Oh, absolutely.
- Is that Ben's voice I hear?
- Hey.
- What's going on?
- How's it going?
- Very good.
How are you?
- Oh, looks like you got
- plenty of food in there.
- So you're in charge this year,
- are you?
- Yeah.
- Wow, Kelley is the boatswain.
Good luck, champ.
- Well, that's good.
- It's a little terrifying.
- It's probably more terrifying
- for them, I'd imagine.
[laughter]
- So do we have everyone?
Did your other stew come?
- Not yet.
- Not yet, oh, okay.
- I'll have to check
- with the captain.
- We could use her help,
- for sure.
- Do you know what time
- my third stew's arriving?
- No, no, I don't.
- This is not good.
- With less than 24 hours
- before charter guests arrive,
There is so much to do.
- But I will look into that.
- It's just a lot of work.
Sh...
- Nico, I saw you trying
to take the top bunk.
Sorry, I took the top bunk.
I know you're tall,
but I'm senior deckhand.
- Let's get smashing.
- Where you from
- originally, Trevor?
- Born in Atlanta,
- but Pensacola Beach, Florida,
- is home.
I've been around the world.
I've been a competitive surfer.
- Been a hair model
- for Paul Mitchell.
Did 100-ton captain's lessons
and engineering courses.
I've worked in yachting
for about 3 1/2 years.
- I was a boatswain
- of a 164-foot,
Had three deckhands under me.
I was also first mate
of a 130-foot.
- Just continue minding your line;
- never forget about that.
So, yeah, I mean,
I know my boat sh...
Whoo.
- Hello, nice to meet you.
- Hello, how are you?
- I'm Emily.
- Where are you from?
- The U.K.
- Yeah, so am I.
- You're British?
- Yeah, where you from?
- London.
I've been yachting
for the last 2 1/2 years.
I've cruised across
the whole of the Med,
the Caribbean.
- So you spent all your time
- in London, did you?
- I went to boarding school
in Sussex.
- Okay, which one?
- Eastbourne College.
- I went to Bradfield.
- I was very much into academia,
- and I was going to go
- to Cambridge
To study psychology
and politics,
- but I wanted a bit more
- out of life.
And I love adventure.
- I'm only 21;
- you only live once.
And it is the time of life
to experience things
- that you're not able
- to do later on
- When you want to settle down,
- maybe.
- Attention all crew.
I need everybody
in the main salon.
- Copy.
- Deck crew,
- here's your response.
[indistinct chatter]
- Okay.
The first thing
I want to go over is,
your stew never made the plane.
- Okay.
- So we're short.
- Sh...
- If you need me,
- I'll help.
- I know, thank you.
- Guests arrive tomorrow.
For those of you who
don't know how I run a boat,
it's pretty simple.
You do your job.
You don't embarrass yourself.
- And you don't
- embarrass the boat.
We're not having cocktails
while we're on charter.
Follow those three rules, and
we're gonna get along just fine.
- Obviously none of us want
- to screw up for Captain Lee.
- You know, he's got
- high standards,
- But we have our basics,
- which is, as long as
- The job's done,
- you can do what you want.
- Just, you know,
- don't be a dick-head.
- I always walk around with
some cash and plane tickets,
- but I'd like to set
- a record this year
For just keeping
one whole crew intact.
Barry and Larry is our
1st officer and chief engineer.
- I expect you
- to cooperate with them
- As much as you cooperate
- with me.
We'll all make lots of money,
and things go a lot smoother.
Carry on, we're good.
- So how are you going
- with the shirts down there?
- I'm ironing all of them?
- I like ironing
- all of them before.
- I don't want to have
- a mad dash.
- So we know what we have
- to get done
- Now that we have
- one less set of hands.
- I think Emily's gonna be
- a great second stew.
- Okay, great.
- Yay.
- She seems experienced, sweet,
confident... I love her.
She's adorable.
- Yeah, she's English,
- that's why.
- Nico, girlfriend back home?
- Kind of with someone,
- but we just recently
- started talking.
- Oh, so it's just fresh.
- Yeah.
- So you're talking to someone
- but not dating someone.
- Yeah, what about you guys?
- Oh, I'm single as can be.
- Single and ready to mingle?
- Yeah.
- What about you there, Lauren?
- I'd say probably single
- as a Pringle.
Let's put it that way.
- Ooh, that's good;
- Pringles are f... ing delicious,
- By the way.
- They're great.
- Eye-candy-wise,
- Nico and Kelley,
- You know, they're both cute
- and flirty.
- I mean, it's nice to work
- with someone
- That's good to look at,
- you know?
- Once you pop,
- you can't stop, eh?
- [laughs]
- - Ben, Kate, Kelley,
- I need you guys
- Down in the crew mess
- in five minutes
For prepping meeting.
- Copy.
- First one,
we have eight ladies.
Our primary, Allison,
- she owns
- her own clothing line.
- Apparently she's
- Instagram friends
- With all of the other girls
- that are involved,
But they've never, ever met.
- If you meet your friends
on Instagram,
you never say
you met on Instagram.
- Whoa, she's hot.
- Wow.
- It says they want
- a beach picnic, by the way.
- And they want a theme party
based on social media.
- Each meal,
they could like or dislike.
- I don't know about that.
- Carley Faircloth
loves escargot.
The primary hates escargot.
- Someone doesn't like seafood,
others do like seafood,
which makes it, you know,
a little difficult
if you're the chef.
- I don't think they could
- actually agree
On one single plate.
Hashtag "effing nightmare."
- I'm gonna follow her
- on Instagram
- So I can go
- on her next yacht trip.
- Okay.
- Become virtual friends
- with her?
- Like it all, yeah.
- Where you guys at back here?
- We're just drying now.
- Do y'all need brushes,
just need blades?
- You don't need hoses
- anymore or anything?
- No, that's the only one
- we need, right there...
- Just make sure, when you're
- done with any hose, drain it.
- So, Lauren, have you ever
- worked on a boat before?
- Well, I have, actually.
- Well, just in case
- you didn't know,
- I'm gonna tell you
- how to do everything.
- Please, do.
[laughs]
- So how are you feeling?
- I'm mentally preparing for it.
- Yeah, tomorrow, one of us
- will go down vacuuming,
- And then we have to fold
- toilet paper and stuff.
- Yeah, how would you
- like the fold done?
- Diamond with a fan.
- Okay, yeah.
- So are you dating anybody?
- No, I've just...
- On my previous boat,
- I was in a relationship,
But they're over now.
- Are you dating anyone
- at the moment?
- I actually am.
- Just only, like,
- a month and a half.
- So we're just in that
- really happy phase.
- How did you meet?
- A bar in my hometown.
- I had just come back
- to the town.
She had just come back
to the town.
- Oh, it's a she.
- Yeah.
- Oh, wow.
- Yeah, it's my first time
dating a girl, actually.
- At first, I was like, I really
- like hanging out with her,
- But I don't want to give her
- the wrong idea
'cause I'm not a lesbian.
- But then, one night,
- I kissed her.
- I don't know
- where it came from.
- She just seems like
- a really cool person.
- I don't know
- how to describe it.
- It's like, I was never
- in the closet.
- I just kind of went
- in the closet for a second,
Picked out a new outfit,
and came right back out.
- But you've never felt
- attracted to girls until now?
- No, no, never.
- All crew, dinner is ready.
- Oh, this looks awesome.
- It smells awesome.
- Mmm!
- How was your day?
- Pretty busy?
- A lot of exterior
- on this boat.
- Yeah, especially
- for this size.
- My old boat was
- a lot bigger than this,
And we only had five outside.
- How big
- was your last boat?
- Uh, 67 meters.
- That's big.
- That's big.
- Nico, I saw you trying
- to take the top bunk.
Sorry, I took the top bunk.
- I went in there,
- I was like, "No way."
- I know you're tall,
- but I'm the senior deckhand.
- [laughs]
- Are you serious right now?
Bad start.
All right, my coffin,
here I go.
- Good night.
- Good night.
- What's up, big guy?
- Oh. F...
- That is f... ed up.
- So how are you feeling
about our two-stew adventure?
- We're just not gonna stop.
- - The fact that Emily
- is not freaking out
About not having a third stew
proves to me that she knows,
in yachting,
things happen
you can't control,
- and all you can do
- is move forward.
- I'm just gonna need you
- to be my right hand.
Like, I trust your judgment.
- I can tell you know
- what you're doing.
- What's your Instagram name?
- The World Wanderer.
Sounds majestic, doesn't it?
Hashtag "awesome."
- Attention all crew,
- charter guests
- will be arriving in one hour.
- Where's the spinach?
What's this?
- I can't deal with these
- provisions arriving the day of.
- I don't have
- any of my sh... yet.
- What are you missing?
