Meet the cast of the brand new series Below Deck Down Under

There is no such thing as too much Below Deck, so thankfully the TV gods have decided to bless us all with a new Below Deck franchise and this time we’re heading to Australia – get ready for Below Deck Down Under. This new series features a diverse cast, picky guests and of course plenty of crew drama.

Below Deck Down Under drops on Hayu in the UK on 18th March with three episodes of the new season at once. The series takes place in the north-eastern coast of Australia where the charter guests explore the Whitsunday Islands and the Great Barrier Reef.

This season’s cast features the youngest captain of any Below Deck franchise and the return of Aesha Scott from Below Deck Mediterranean and this time she’s back as the Chief Stew.

It’s always good to have a female deckhand and in Below Deck Down Under we have Brittini. Brittini is from Michigan and began her yachting career in the interior before moving to working on deck. It’s as if she and Aesha have switched places.
