Captain Sandy Yawn is living her best life, ignoring the accusations of poor crew performance against the cast of Below Deck Mediterranean season 9. Aesha Scott returned to Below Deck Med after starring in Below Deck Down Under for two seasons as Captain Jason Chamber’s Chief Stew. Her comeback to the show marked a new era for the franchise that was slowly losing its likeability. Below Deck Med season 9 is better than season 8, thanks to its dynamic crew. Aside from Captain Sandy and Aesha, none of the crew had been on a season of Below Deck.
The energy of the cast of Below Deck Med season 9 saved the spin-off. Yachties such as Gael Cameron and Nathan Gallagher made waves with their scandalous boatmance that formed while the deckhand was in a relationship. Chef Johnathan “Jono” Shillingford struggled during the first few charters of the season but mostly redeemed himself on the show. The personalities of the Below Deck Med season 9 crew breathed life into the series, though some fans are still wary of the new faces. While the crew faces online backlash, Captain Sandy turns her nose to the drama.
