Where Is Oriana Schneps Now After Below Deck Adventure Season 1?
Oriana Schneps from Below Deck Adventure season 1 hasn’t strayed far from the yachting industry since starring in the reality show. Below Deck Adventure became the fifth spin-off in the Below Deck franchise when it premiered in 2022. Contrary to past seasons, the adventure-based series was set in the frigid climates of Norway. Captain Kerry Titheradge debuted as a franchise captain during Below Deck Adventure and was supported by Chief Stew Faye Clarke, Bosun Lewis Lupton, and Chef Jessica Condy. While the season was entertaining, it’s unclear if it will return for a second season.
Speculation that Below Deck Adventure season 2 may not happen took place after Captain Kerry joined Below Deck season 11. With rumors he was spotted filming for Below Deck season 12, it’s all but confirmed that the season 1 captain likely won’t be returning for Below Deck Adventure season 2 if it happens. Nonetheless, the first season was full of ups and downs, thanks to the crew. Faye led the interior team with Oriana and Kasie Faddah, who got into their fair share of drama during the charter season.

After Below Deck Adventure season 1, Oriana founded her yachting marketing agency, Moby Media. She launched a new business venture at the beginning of 2024 and promotes it across her Instagram pages. Moby specializes in “hunt[ing] leads for your maritime business” via content creation, lead generation, and influencer/production marketing, per their Instagram. The marketing agency essentially utilizes media-related avenues to generate revenue and bookings for varying companies. Before her stint on Below Deck Adventure, Oriana co-founded the Lazy 8ight Yacht Club in early 2022, described as an “innovative blockchain company” that collects “metaverse-ready, mega-yacht NFTs.”
It’s unclear if Oriana is still involved with her former business, Lazy 8ight Yacht Club. Her personal Instagram has Moby tagged in her bio but not the former company. Nonetheless, Oriana used the exposure from appearing in the Below Deck franchise to her advantage with Moby. She’s combined her career before the show, yachting, with her newfound job, social media content creation, into one successful business.

Oriana’s Instagram page is full of yacht-related content. Her love for the industry goes far beyond her brief appearance in the Below Deck franchise. On her Instagram, Oriana shares content in collaboration with her business, Moby, taking part in various charter trips. She collaborated with Hanover Yachts in July, writing that the experience was “an economical solution to get out on the water.” Oriana works with various other yachting companies while promoting her business and getting on the water.
Oriana’s Journey On Below Deck Adventure
Oriana Feuded With A Stew & Had A Boatmance With The Bosun
Oriana was at the center of conflict during Below Deck Adventure season 1. At the beginning of the charter season, the audience learned Oriana worked with her fellow stew, Kasie, in the past. The two seemingly weren’t on the same page and butted heads throughout the season. She went as far as to allege that Kasie’s accent changed from charter to charter. Aside from her stew-related drama, Oriana had a boatmance with Lewis, Captain Kerry’s Bosun. They appeared to have chemistry in Below Deck Adventure, though nothing came of their on-screen romance.
Will Oriana Ever Return To The Below Deck Franchise?
If Below Deck Adventure Gets Canceled, Oriana Can Join A Spin-Off
The former Below Deck Adventure stew hasn’t shared her thoughts on returning to the franchise. Oriana has not confirmed if she’d return to the show, but she’d likely be on board for another season. She had a great first showing and didn’t commit any fireable offenses that could prohibit her from returning. Oriana was a reliable stew for Faye and brought the drama in her feud with Kasie and boatmance with Lewis. She has all the ingredients to be a regular Below Deck yachtie if Bravo wants her back.
Oriana is still involved in the yachting industry. While she works on the marketing side of things with her business, that doesn’t mean she couldn’t throw on a stewardess uniform. If Below Deck Adventure is canceled, Oriana should transition to Below Deck Mediterranean or Below Deck Down Under. With one season under her belt, she’d be well-suited for another spin-off in the franchise.
Below Deck Adventure has been off the air for nearly two years. Stew Oriana has successfully used her experience with the beloved yachting franchise to help create her new marketing business. Below Deck Adventure may not return for season 2, but if it does, Oriana should be a part of the cast.
