The Wellington Yacht: Specs & Cost

The wellington yacht: what you need to know about the ‘below deck’ vessel.

On the fifth season of the hit TV show Below Deck Mediterranean , the luxury yacht featured was the biggest boat in the series’ history. 1 Captain Sandy Yawn and her crew sailed charter clients around the Spanish resort town of Mallorca in The Wellington yacht. In actuality, the 184.5-foot luxury yacht is called The Wellesley and was only called The Wellington on the show. Outside of the show, the M/Y The Wellesley is available for charter.

New Below Deck Med yacht HOME layout map and video tours

On the season premiere of Below Deck: Mediterranean Season 7, viewers are introduced to the crew that will be hosting the next few months of high seas drama on Bravo. It would be difficult to single out the sexiest new cast member this season, but it may just be the super-fine 50 meters of hybrid yacht hotness that is the M/Y Home!

The elegant Heesen superyacht was built in 2017 and was the Dutch shipbuilder’s first to be equipped with hybrid propulsion. “In this case ‘Hybrid’ means that the yacht can draw on two sources of power for propulsion: diesel mechanical and diesel electrical,” Heesen explains in their promotional brochure for Home . “Either or both sources can be used at the same time. This provides less noise and vibration, a more flexible power management which means better efficiency.”

Home measures 49.8 meters (163 feet, 4 inches) and has an overall beam of 9.1 meters (29 feet, 10 inches). It’s lightweight aluminum hull helps Home achieve a gross tonnage just under 500. Its max speed with a half load is 16.3 knots with diesel direct and 9 knots with diesel electric.

Moving on to the stats that are more relevant to casual Below Deck viewers, Home has accommodations for 9 crew members and 12 guests. There is a full-beam owner’s stateroom for Captain Sandy, one full-beam VIP guest suite, two double guest suites, and two twin guest suites.

Superyacht Home floor plan

I’m an avid Below Deck fan and I don’t feel like I ever have a very clear understanding of the layout on the boats featured on the various shows. To help myself (and other fans) during Below Deck Med Season 7, I’ve put together a map of the layout of M/Y Home that should help you imagine the 3D landscape in which all of the drama plays out.

I’ve color coded the different levels, starting with the sun deck (green) at the top and working down through the wheelhouse (pink), main deck (yellow) and lower deck (grey).

CLICK TO ENLARGE:

Here are individual images for the lower three levels arranged vertically for easier viewing on mobile devices:

You will notice that the crew resides in the lower deck at the front (bow) of the boat. There are four small cabins, four bathrooms, and eight twin bunk beds. The crew mess is right next to the cabins in the lower deck.

The captain’s quarters is located on the wheelhouse level and has a door that opens directly into the bridge.

The charter guest master suite is located on the main deck. I was surprised to see that the Home’s galley (kitchen) is right on the other side of the wall from the master suite bathroom.

One question I have after checking out the Home layout is where the engineer(s) sleeps? Also, I thought production takes a room to set up their equipment? The chef, three stews, and four deck crew members take up all eight crew bunks, right? If I figure out answers to these questions I will update this post for clarification.

For those of you wanting even more info about the Below Deck Med superyacht Home, here is the official promotional brochure followed by a series of videos of Home:

The refit work took two years but was clearly worth it when we look at the result displayed in this second season of the Australian Spin off.

Built by Trinity Yachts in 2008 to a design by Geoff Van Aller , Stay Salty accommodates a total of 12 guests and 10 crew members on board. Inside, highlights include the split-level master with a private study and panoramic views, as well as a formal dining area and skylounge with a drinks bar.

Charter cost: Stay Salty is not currently available for charter, but in 2020 was sold by Denison Yachting with an asking price of $12,900,000.

Charter cost: Star Diamond is managed by Ahoy Club and Northrop & Johnson with a weekly charter rate starting from $160,000.

This 50 metre Benetti superyacht kicked off the yachting TV show in style in July 2013. Captained by Lee Rosbach , she was based in the Caribbean isles during the filming of the first season. On Below Deck she was called Honor but in reality, her name is actually Barents . Delivered in 1999 to a design by Stefano Natucci , Barents just underwent an extensive full refit earlier in 2021 and can host up to 12 guests on board in six staterooms. Features viewers may have seen on the show include the stunning sun deck equipped with a hot tub, drinks bar and outdoor cinema, the additional indoor cinema, the beach club and the gym, as well as the extensive fleet of water toys such as Jet Skis and gear for wakeboarding, waterskiing, fishing and snorkelling.

This Below Deck Star Is The Best Captain In The Entire Franchise, According To Fan Poll

• Fans voted Captain Jason Chambers as the best captain in the Below Deck franchise, followed by Captain Lee and Captain Glenn.
• Viewers love Captain Jason for his good heart, personality, and leadership skills on Below Deck Down Under.
• Captain Jason's victory was also probably due to his handsome appearance, perfectionist attitude, and smart decision-making skills.

Fans have reached a consensus on whom the best captain in the Below Deck franchise is. The adventurous reality TV series premiered in 2013, and since then, it has featured a few skillful captains. Captain Lee Rosbach is known for his decade-long run on the original series. The fan-favorite captain recently left Below Deck , and Captain Kerry Titheradge replaced him . Captain Sandy Yawn is another highly respected captain and leads Below Deck Mediterranean . She’s known for her sweet yet assertive nature. Captain Jason Chambers and Glenn Shephard have also been an integral part of the franchise for a long time.

Below Deck viewers took a Reddit poll to determine their favorite Below Deck captain.

Recently, many avid viewers took to a Reddit thread created by Salt_Ad963 and voted for who they thought was the best Below Deck captain yet. Over 290 people voted for Below Deck Down Under 's Captain Jason Chambers , labeling the new captain the best in the Below Deck franchise. Other captains in the poll also got some votes.

Second place went to the iconic Captain Lee, while third place went to the friendly Captain Glenn. Fans also voted for Captain Kerry, putting the newest Below Deck lead star in fourth place. However, Below Deck Med 's Captain Sandy ended up in last place with only 33 votes.

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

Why is captain jason a fan-favorite below deck star, captain jason is a smart leader & respects his crew.

Viewers discussed the reasons why Captain Jason is the best. He has a good heart and an amazing personality. Apart from being young, Captain Jason is smart and understands his crew. He can sacrifice to ensure his team’s and his yacht’s safety. During his last run in Below Deck Down Under season 2 , Captain Jason warned the charter guests about not following the rules. He kicked out his Bosun, Luke Jones, for sexual harassment and dismissed Second Stew Laura Bileskaline for breaking personal boundaries. He also let Deckhand Adam Kodra join his team, despite his inexperience.

It’s easy to see why fans think Captain Jason is the best. However, just because most people picked him doesn’t mean the other captains are less worthy. When Below Deck premiered over a decade ago, Captain Lee was much younger and could handle any task. He overcame every challenge and inspired dozens of crew members to better themselves. Likewise, Captain Glenn made a difference by showing a more relaxed way to manage and treat his crew like his kids. Captain Kerry is relatively new but already exceptional at his job; he’s just as strict as Captain Sandy.

Captain Jason got the highest votes for various reasons. However, the prime cause of his victory was his personality. He’s a handsome man who comes across as a perfectionist. He has a strong mindset, an athletic body, and a positive aura that resonates through the TV screen. While the other captains are great, Jason is the youngest and is extremely skilled . He has made Below Deck Down Under a standout spin-off with smart decisions. He's proved himself to be an extremely successful individual, and his decision-making skills and track record are very impressive.

Below Deck airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EDT on Bravo.

About Below Deck Mediterranean

Set amidst the mesmerizing Italian Riviera and the historic façade of Genoa, Italy, it's all hands on deck this season for Capt. Sandy and her team. From outrageous guests to after-hours antics, the boat gets rocked throughout each charter as the crew navigates complicated dynamics and unexpected rifts. In a franchise first, unprecedented staffing changes dominate the season, which tests each department as they struggle to find their sea legs through unforeseen turnover.        Sandy levels up from last season with the 180-foot M/Y Mustique, which challenges her deck crew as they attempt to navigate the busy industrial port with utmost precision. Before they even leave the dock, visa issues tie up two crew members while a department head mismanages important paperwork. Sandy leans on temporary help for the first charter and an unexpected shake-up results in a change of hierarchy. On deck, the crew is overwhelmed by their workload on the oversized vessel as the interior deals with a clash of personalities. Chef Jack wows the guests with his impressive take on local Italian fare, but things start to sour when communication goes south.        Between “friends with benefits” and open relationships, there’s no shortage of boat-mances and boat break-ups. When disagreements impact productivity and former friendships start to implode, Sandy is faced with a wave of difficult decisions.   

When the Sirocco Yacht Charter was featured on Below Deck: Mediterranean

14th December 2023

SIROCCO YACHT CHARTER – FEATURED ON ‘BELOW DECK: MEDITERRANEAN’

Ever wondered what it would be like to be a fly on the wall of a particular luxury charter yacht, witnessing what goes on below deck?  Now’s your chance to find out.

You can watch life onboard the Sirocco charter yacht be revealed on screen, in the hit US reality series ‘Below Deck: Mediterranean’ in season 2 and 4.  UK audiences can catch-up from the beginning on Amazon Prime.

If you’re a stranger to the reality show, it follows crew and guests embarking on a luxury yacht charte r. Viewers get an eye-opening glimpse of the many aspects of what goes on behind-the-scenes. We see the lengths the crew go to provide the ultimate in five-star luxury demanded by discerning clients. Meanwhile, there’s some occasional turbulence below deck as a romantic saga unfolds.

While cameras follow a different group of guests in each episode of Below Deck: Mediterranean, (a spin-off of Bravo’s original Below Deck series), we see new stories and perspectives emerge.  As the drinks flow, in episode 12 of season 2 of Below Deck, the requests made by a group of lively Texans pose a big challenge for Sirocco yacht’s Captain Sandy and her crew.  In another Sirocco Below Deck appearance, in season 4 (episode 17), bad weather causes the yacht to become stranded in dock and the interior team pull out all stops.

The luxury Sirocco charter yacht … Seen it? Now sail it.

If you’ve been following the adventures aboard the Sirocco luxury yacht and like what you see, why not book a Sirocco yacht charter through Princess Charter Yachts.

Light floods every space onboard the 47m-long Sirocco superyacht in a style of décor that is modern and refined in luxurious style. Exquisite hardwood furniture and ebony statement features, fabrics in a palette of earthy colours, contrasted with a timeless ivory hue backdrop, create an alluring exotic look.

A pleasure palace on the water, there are plenty of facilities on the luxury Sirocco charter yacht to fill your leisure time. Get the most out of every workout in a well-equipped airy gym that boasts sliding panoramic doors opening onto the deck. What better way to chat with friends than relaxing in a jacuzzi on the upper deck looking out to the endless ocean.

The Best Seasons in the Below Deck Franchise

By Amy DeVore

If you’ve never watched the Below Deck series on Bravo , what are you even doing with your life? I mean, you’re probably out there working hard, or just like, living your life, being a solid human. Even still, if you haven’t checked out Below Deck, Below Deck Mediterranean , Below Deck Sailing Yacht , Below Deck Down Under , or even that one season of Below Deck Adventure , then just know one thing; you’re missing out. No but really, you are.

That said, sometime in your near future, you might just find yourself in need of a great show to binge. If so, you should consider dipping your toes into this ever-expanding nautical franchise , because it’s a good one. To make sure that you’re not wasting your time, we’ll even help you out a bit. Start with these three seasons of BD first, as they’re each truly the best of the best that this franchise has to offer.

Below Deck Season 3

The casting department for BD Season 3 deserves a raise. To start, Chef Leon Walker loathed Chief Stew Kate Chastain . When he wasn’t making beef cheeks, he was throwing her under the bus to Captain Lee Rosbach . After a kitchen fire, Leon left the boat, which saddened his eccentric sidekick , stewardess Rocky Dakota .

In defense of her fired pal, Rocky stripped down and jumped overboard, only to be returned by a neighboring tender. In other scenes, this stew was often in the laundry room, hooking up with the “taken” Eddie Lucas . Insert production, who brilliantly added in a running gag of soap churning in a washing machine. At this early-on point, camera placements were limited, but their trysts changed this, and now, cameras are everywhere onboard.

Additionally, many fun scenes transpired between Amy Johnson , Connie Arias , Rocky, and Kate, especially when whipped-cream was involved. Likewise, Rocky’s grenadine oysters and salads with Oreo sprinkles will leave you in stitches. Or vomiting, like one of the guests did after eating this meal. Luckily, Chef Ben Robinson boarded, sending Rocky back to the laundry room to continue singing about “ironing the Captain’s shorts.”

This season also had some negative drama. When Eddie and Rocky’s affair came out, Eddie chose denial, leaving Rocky to feel alone, which sucked. Luckily, the viewers put Eddie in the hot seat, and he stepped away from this series for several seasons. Overall, Below Deck Season 3 is one of the best around, and if you are anything like us, you’ll watch it on repeat.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 1 was a bust. Luckily, BDSY Season 2 saved this spin-off, and we’re thankful, because it’s now one of our favorites . However, due to COVID restrictions, both Seasons 2 and 3 lacked various elements, so this series didn’t really hit its full stride until Season 4 . To note, in all three of these later seasons, the viewers are (mostly) gifted with this series three staple cast members, Daisy Kelliher , Gary King , and Colin MacRae .

Out of them all, Season 4 is our favorite, as it’s a whirlwind, with a side of fun. To recap, Colin was single for the first time ever, and he and Daisy started up a boatmance. Later on, we learned that they had actually hooked up prior to filming. Shockingly, so had Daisy and Gary.

Outside of this drama, Season 4 had amazing interior and exterior departments. You’ll love watching these crew members bond, as each were kind and lovable, while also highly skilled in their various roles. Chef Ileisha Dell is the calmest chef in this entire franchise, and she’s also a former circus contortionist, which is fun. Furthermore, Alex Propson gave us the now infamous scene of his drunkenly placed water bottle on Captain Glenn Shephard ’s forehead, which will make you laugh, unless you hate humor.

To note, Gary’s playboy ways, which allegedly go far beyond flirtations, have since made headlines. Therefore, Season 5 is now hanging in the balance, and only time will tell how this spin-off fares. Even still, after watching Below Deck Season 3, we recommend that you watch the next greatest thing, which is Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4. Overall, you’ll love this cast, mostly, and that’s a rare thing to be said for this franchise.

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 4

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 4 had a mostly fun, kind cast. In turn, the interior department saw minimal drama unfolding. Instead, Hannah Ferrier , Aesha Scott , and Anastasia Surmava developed a tight friendship. These girls are still close today.

Also, a sweet boatmance formed between the equally hysterical Jack Stirrup and Aesha. In addition, a series favorite returned in Colin Macy-O’Toole , who we want to protect and hug forever. Now, if you’re thinking that this season sounds too loving and drama-free (aka boring), think again. Three different Chefs roll through, so there’s definitely drama on the high seas.

The first one, Mila Kolomeitseva , the “absolute oxygen thief,” was fired after Episode 5, because she (likely) lied on her resume, licked steaks, and couldn’t make nachos. With a culinary background in tow, Anastasia stepped up to help, which saw June Foster coming onboard to assist in the interior department. Enter Hannah’s infamous line of “June, June, Hannah” here.

Finally, Chef Ben returned to save the day, again. However, this led to June’s ousting, as Anastasia had to step back down to her stew role. Sweet baby Colin tried to fall on the sword though, taking June’s firing for the team, until Captain Sandy Yawn stepped in, saying nope.

Sadly, this season of BDM was one of the last fun-loving seasons for this series. So, if you are looking for something fun to watch, we cannot recommend Season 4 enough , as it’s one of the best in the Below Deck franchise.

It's Barbie's world—and Fraser Olender is tired of living in it.

In fact, the Below Deck Chief Stew seems ready to throw Stew  Barbie Pascual overboard for her constant back-talking and negative attitude in E! News' exclusive sneak peek at the Bravo series' March 11 episode.

While setting up their charter guests' dinner table, the crewmembers have a tense exchange after Barbie, once again, questions her boss' leadership skills.

"Do I have to switch out silverware tonight?" she asks in the clip, to which Fraser replies, "No, you shouldn't have to."

Barbie quips back, "I'm not really good with this. I'm just used to having a Chief Stew who tells me."

The passive-aggressive comment rubs Fraser the wrong way, prompting him to address it head-on.. "Do you want me to tell you?" he asks. "Is that what you're trying to say?"

In a confessional, Fraser admits Barbie's attitude is reminiscent of controversial season 10 Stew Camille Lamb , who was fired last year for her unprofessionalism and continual refusal to obey the rules.

"Barbie is demonstrating she really has no respect for authority," he notes. "I'm not going down the same route as last year. There was a lack of respect. Respect me or walk off. There's no room for any wavering in that."

Following their awkward interaction, Fraser rants about his problematic yachtie to Chef  Anthony Iracane .

"I don't like that girl," the 30-year-old admits. "You know what she said to me up there? She's like, 'I haven't got a really good understanding of the cutlery and how it works on it.' She goes, 'Usually the Chief Stew just tells me.' It's just so passive-aggressive."

And keep reading to look back at the most explosive firings in Bravo history.

If there's one thing to learn from Camille Lamb 's Below Deck firing, it's to not slack off on the job. That's exactly why the season 10 stew was let go by substitute Captain Sandy Yawn , as Chief Stew Fraser Olender continued to criticize Camille's behavior on board.

From being caught drinking while preparing for a new charter to partying at late hours and more, Fraser informed Captain Sandy that he had reached his "last straw."

"She's the common denominator in all of this," said Captain Sandy. "Great girl, great personality, but at the same time, we have to do what's best for the boat."

Below Deck Adventure 's Kyle Dickard was let go just three episodes into the reality franchise's latest series—which premiered in November 2022. After picking fights with his fellow deckhand Nathan Morley —as well as kissing crew mates in front of guests—Kyle was offered by Captain Kerry Titheradge the opportunity to resign so that his firing would not end up on his personal record.

Kyle took the Captain up on his offer and left the boat after just one charter.

Captain Sandy let bosun Raygan Tyler go during season seven of Below Deck Mediterranean ,  not only for causing the boat to  take a small hit while docking, but also for not stepping up to the plate as a leader.

But Captain Sandy didn't want her firing to discourage the bosun, as she told Raygan, "If I had the time and I wasn't running a boat this size, I would train you. I would teach you."

In addition to onboard romances and failing to follow directions , one of the biggest reasons behind stew Elizabeth Frankini 's Below Deck firing was her infamous laundry room accident , during which made a toxic mess when combining bleach and laundry soap.

"Unfortunately, I didn't know that was so toxic and I feel so bad about it," she told E! News of the incident in December 2020 . "You know, I do feel really bad, especially 'cause Francesca [ Rubi ] did say, 'Take it outside.'"

The bosun and stew were both fired by Captain Jason Chambers for inappropriate behavior after a night of partying with their fellow yachties.

Luke Jones was let go after getting into Stew Margot Sisson 's bed naked while she was drunk and unconscious. Laura Bileskaine also made unwanted advances on Deckhand Adam Kodra despite him telling her he was not interested in hooking up.

Jason made it known that consent was a must, and sent both crewmembers packing.

Tensions between stew Lexi Wilson and Chef Mathew Shea came to a head during an explosive dinner fight on season six of Below Deck Mediterranean , during which Lexi told Matt that his parents "should've aborted you." That was the last straw for Captain Sandy, who fired her not long after the incident.

Deckhand Tom Pearson said "bon voyage" to Below Deck Sailing Yacht after getting let go by Captain Glenn Shephard . Tom hit his last strike with the Captain after failing to report that the boat's anchor was dragging during heavy winds one night, causing a potential safety risk for everyone on board.

"It had to be done. It was such a grievous thing that he dropped the ball there, he had to go, and we had to just be man down and live with it, you know?" Captain Glenn said of the decision  on Watch What Happens Live. "So, obviously, you don't want to do that, but yeah, it had to happen."

Some people are picky eaters, but Below Deck Down Under' s Ryan McKeown was quite the picky chef, as he would judge guests'  food requests  and fail to take  criticism from Captain Jason Chambers , as well.

Perhaps Ryan's Below Deck exit is one of the franchise's most memorable, as he mooned Jason and viewers on his way off the boat.

Below Deck Down Under stew Magda Ziomek 's firing was another case of slacking on the job. After constantly being on her phone texting or video chatting with her boyfriend, Chief Stew Aesha Scott decided to replace Magda before the end of the charter season.

Below Deck Mediterranean 's Peter Hunziker was fired from the series in June 2020 after he shared an offensive post on social media.

"Peter Hunziker of Below Deck Mediterranean has been terminated for his racist post," Bravo wrote in a statement at the time. "Bravo and 51 Minds are editing the show to minimize his appearance for subsequent episodes."

Chief Stew Hannah Ferrier was let go by Captain Sandy on Below Deck Mediterranean after boson Malia White discovered her co-star possessed undeclared Valium and a vape pen, the former of which Hannah claimed was for her anxiety.

"If I could do it all over again, I would've just declared them as soon as I came on board," Hannah stated in an August 2020 interview with E! News. "It was definitely not something that was intentional. I wasn't trying to hide anything.

Below Deck Mediterranean 's Delaney Evans left just as quickly as she arrived. After initially being brought on during season six to help out Chief Stew Katie Flood , Katie determined that Delaney was doing more harm than good, choosing to let her go after just one charter.

"I think she was overwhelmed with the situation, and I think that, you know, in her mind, the best solution to the situation was just to go back to what they had before," Delaney told Bravo Insider of Katie's decision. "I think she was just overwhelmed with everything that was going on and all the feedback she was getting."

Deckhand Shane Coopersmith was a bit in over his head on season eight of Below Deck , as he was let go for failing to know basic skills, reporting late for duty and taking naps on the job.

Chaos in the kitchen led to Captain Lee Rosbach letting Chef Leon Walker go on season three of Below Deck . After an oven fire broke out , Lee placed the blame on Chief Stew Kate Chastain but was ultimately the one sent home.

Like several of the franchise's stars, Below Deck 's Chris Brown  was fired  during season five for failing to fully perform his duties. After being let go by Captain Lee, Chris shared some parting words as he left the boat, stating , "Who gives a s--t?"

Chef Mila Kolomeitseva was fired by Captain Sandy on season four of Below Deck Mediterranean after failing to use her cooking skills to produce top-quality food for guests—including some not-so-nice nachos .

"Of course it makes me feel awful," Mila said of her departure . "People like me who have big egos sometimes have to be put down to earth a little bit. But it makes me feel like I want to work even harder."

Sometimes people just don't work well together. That's exactly why Captain Lee fired Chandler Brooks during season six of Below Deck , telling the boson, "I don't think it's a good fit."
