It’s time for the final Below Deck Sailing Yacht Recap of the season. I have to say while I hated Jenna and Adam, I thought it was a good first season. I love Captain Glenn and all the female crew other than Jenna. Well, Georgia was kind of a relationship disrupter, but other than that she was fine. The scenery was beautiful and there was plenty of food porn. I guess we have Below Deck Med up next to love forward to. I’m not sure how to feel about that. I think Captain Sandy spends way to much time criticizing the female crew and flirting with the male crew. But the ads are setting this up to be “the season of women bosses. So we shall see.
Drug Search!
We are going to start with Billy’s luggage being searched for coke. He seems normal today so perhaps it is all gone. Of course he flatly denies bringing coke on the bought and quickly agrees to have his cabin searched. While Billy is really cool about it at first, he’s super pissed about it afterward. He wants to know who the two crew members are.

Sidenote: I thought someone was knocking on the door so I grabbed a weapon or six. As it turns out, some fool seems to think Memorial Day is either a fireworks holiday, or a shoot guys into the air holiday. Charming. Banjo is losing his mind.
With the guests all pissed, Madison is single-handedly saving the day by getting them all drunk. Well, except for Billy who is having a fucking tantrum. Then Byron and Paget race each other in a mini-regatta for the viewing pleasure of the guests. Both had difficulties with their sail boats, but Paget managed to pull out the win. The guests seem to enjoy it. It’s time for a gold party! Which was basically a gold dinner.
Georgia Is Relentless!
It’s the last day of charter and the guests will be leaving soon. It’s also Ciara’s birthday. I really think all she wants for her birthday is for Georgia to pack her knives and go. Once the guests are gone the crew orders takeout. While the stews are eating, Jenna is her usual obnoxious self. Georgia finally says that Jenna bullied them all season. Good for her. Madison speaks up and says it was scary for her to go to the galley by herself because she knew she was going to be attacked.

For some dumb reason, Georgia feels the need to tell Ciara that she has feelings for Paget.On her birthday. WHY? What purpose does that serve? Is she planning to ride off into the sunset with him and start singing in pubs with him? Ciara basically ignores it and tells her that she made that abundantly obvious. And also that she doesn’t consider her a threat. Then, later at dinner, Georgia serenades Paget again in front of the whole group with her stupid song. And Paget is eating it up.
The next day everyone makes their departures and of course Georgia makes one more desperate play for Paget. Who does that? Adam and Jenna leave together. Ciara even gives Georgia a hug when she leaves. It ends with Adam and Jenna living in a pop up van somewhere making hot dogs. Sigh. Will there be a reunion to catch us all up?
YES. There WILL be a reunion next Monday. This is ONE OF THE ONLY good things about the pandemic. Because Bravo has gotten it together with the remote stuff we can have one. As if the WWHL with Glenn and Adam, Glenn is on Parsifal, I believe doing repairs or PM, in Spain (?), Paget and Ciara were working on a boat in Portugal (?), Adam was at a friend’s ranch in Montana or Idaho, and Jenna had to go back to Canada. STAY THERE!
When Shady Messy Andy asked who was a better match for Paget between Georgia or Ciara, both guys answered “Ciara” with zero hesitation. On the TeeVee, it looks like Pag and Georgia are a better match. Production. Editing.
I am really going to miss Glenn and Byron. I really liked them both so much. Adam is an amazing chef, his food makes me drool but he is an asshole and I don’t know that his food would make up for that. Jenna is just a cunt, she can go away, and stay away. I think there is much more to Ciara and Padgetts relationship than they showed. They are very comfortable in it and kind of seemed like an old married couple at times. At the final dinner when Jenna asked if they were a threesome now I was disgusted, I’m sure she would love to be sought after like Padgett was. She all but begged Adam to feed her insecurities, she is gross. Did anyone else thing the last charter group was really tacky? Kind of like trash trying to have class? The primary and her fried blond hair was killing me, and try as I might I couldn’t tell if she had any eyebrows. They were all just super off to me.
I agree with everything you just said!
Could not have said it ALL better myself.
I love Captain Glen. He’s both a fair and firm leader, no nonsense. To go from him to Captain Sandy is a 180. Adam and Jenna, the literal worst. Ciara is so sweet and she’s a pretty girl, I hope that she knows that she can do better than Padgett if she wants. Georgia is obviously not used to not getting the man that she wants. I really liked his season, it started a little boring but got better with each episode.
Thank you TT. I was not going to watch Below Deck Sailing after the misogynistic shit show that Below Deck was, but when I commented that, you were really complimentary of Capt. Glen, so I gave it a chance. I truly like Glen, and I agree w/you about Jenna and Adam. I haven’t liked him since he was so arrogant on BD Med when he intentionally put the onions in the food even though he knew it was listed on the preference sheet and the guests had already complained. I just thought it showed what a cocky prick he is.
The rest of the crew was okay. I thought Padget was a douche to Ciara fanning out over Georgia’s singing after Ciara telling him Georgia admitted to having a thing for him. I don’t know why Georgia went to Ciara with that unless it was production driven.
I’m hoping it was production who made Georgia tell Ciara, but even if production pushed that, Georgia should have said no. There was no reason to have said anything; nothing good could come from it. I thought Paget and Georgia were inappropriate all season, and I was amazed Ciara was as cool about it as she was. Paget should definitely apologize to Ciara when he sees back how he acted all season.
Maybe she felt that since it was filmed that it was better for her to say something upfront, instead of Ciara watching it play out on TV.
Good point Prycer! I didn’t think of that!
She did say that was her reason on one of the little Bravo videos. Also that her friendship with Ciara was important to her.
Can you EVEN IMAGINE what Glenn would have done if Georgia ABD Paget ever even kissed!?
I’m going to say something that is going to be very unpopular, because Captain Glenn is well liked. He made an error tonight when Billy came to see him on the bridge. Instead of simply deescalating the situation by restating their “blanket zero tolerance policy” Captain Glenn added, “just because I didn’t find it doesn’t mean it’s not onboard.” While he may be thinking it, that’s no way to treat a guest when your crew is trying to save the tip. I couldn’t find any evidence of your guilt, but…
If I were an already upset guest, that would make me livid. Then he’s all about putting it back on the Crew, their smiles and the Regatta, which they needed, of course, but he made it worse.
I completely agree!
Yeah those are some serious accusations especially on film, I sort of felt like the charter guess was faking it? It seemed like he turned it on and off. Ive been around a few addicts and they seemed a bit more uncontrolled than that guy.
I too was very surprised when Capt Glenn said, “just because I didn’t find it doesn’t mean it’s not onboard.”
I have mixed feelings about this show. While I enjoyed the basic concept, like with all of the franchise, some of the crew are just awful. Why Parker was allowed to stay as long when he was so obviously unable to realize that he didn’t know anything yet couldn’t stop elevating himself is beyond me. He should be embarrassed but am certain he lacks that ability. Jenna just got lost in her love for the prick that is Adam so it’s hard to judge her true value. But her behavior towards her team & constant belittling of them to Adam was unacceptable. I’m glad Georgia called her out. Jenna’s response: “you think I wasn’t bullied?” What evidence could she provide of her being bullied? Her advice to “just shut up & do your job” was advice she herself should have taken. And Paget was obviously into Georgia & had Ciara not been there, would have acted upon it. To pin it all on Georgia & say it was one sided was typical BS. He egged her on obviously enjoying the attention. Ciara should have put a stop to it immediately. Adam, while obviously a good chef, is just a total prick, never letting an unexpressed thought & sense of entitlement get in his way. Both his & Jenna’s sense of superiority & lack of respect for others just trying to their job was perhaps the most heinous aspect of the whole show. They knew who were “green” & offered no assistance, just criticism & put downs. They both should be ashamed of themselves for their behavior. But I did like Capt. Glenn especially how he jumped in & helped when necessary. His personality & calm was refreshing. I do wonder, though, when these crews are first gathered, if there is ever a discussion on what is acceptable for crew behavior across the entire franchise, especially after last season’s BD.
Jeana was awful! I had trouble stomaching her and it could be editing but she didn’t seem to add much to the crew.
I think Paget enjoyed the attention from Georgia, like when your significant other no longer finds your jokes funny but a stranger thinks your so interesting.
Capt. Glenn earned my respect he kept going on and on about hierarchy I thought he was gonna let Jeana’s bad behavior go and I’m glad he didn’t.
Please note what Billy said. Billy was told that he had white powder under his nose and his response was that he did not BRING drugs on the boat. My first thought was well who brought drugs on the boat then? You would think Billy would say that he doesn’t do drugs or something to that effect. He never said that. It’s easy to have the Captain search your stuff when your roommate or anyone else is the one with the stash.
Good point about his roommate stashing it or that a-hole may have put the vial in his roommate’s stuff without them knowing. I also think production pushed Captain Glen to get involved since they saw or highly suspected that he had done drugs; they all could have been imprisoned for the drugs.
Captain Glenn could have easily elected to search areas of the room or other guests as he saw fit, but he didn’t seem to do it. If he actually did, it was edited for time, because he found nothing and the adventure continued. Contrast this with Captain Lee in Season 1, which was just on today. There was no search. He took Kat’s word for it, turned Honor around and disembarked the guests.
Yea his roommate was just as douchy and as high as Billy was. They both stayed up that first night way after every one else went to bed. The charter guest knew he was on something, too. After the search, he had time to think it through & thus his “outrage.” If he was so mad, would he have really taken part in that regatta? Don’t think so. Good catch there.
I am SO glad this show is over!!! If I ever have to hear Jenna’s voice one more second, it will be too soon. She and Adam can jump into their can and take their affection to the privacy where it should have been all along. Please don’t rehire her if there is a reason 2. She was the worst of all bosses. Telling Madison she “just doesn’t give a sh***t anymore” before the last charter is no way to motivate a fellow worker. She should have set the example and not act like an idiot all season.
Haaaa….Great typo that works!! That van did look like a freaking can! It was awful!!
And yes, Jenna’s voice drove me NUTS! She is really horrible.
Lol, the other typo works too!
Season 2
Reason 2
@GL. Jenna’s voice is like nails on a chalk board. It’s the monotone and the way she speaks. Her voice reminds me of the character on SNL that Kristen Wiig portrayed (the one upper).
I am still amazed that this crew was not a bunch of nasty drunks like all the other BD crews. It was a nice change.
You definitely have a good point. It’s very different!
I really enjoyed this show. The boat and scenery were spectacular. Loved Captain Glenn, Byron, Paget, Ciara, Chris and Madison but I think they could’ve done more with Madison, I thought she was interesting. I bet the crew and guests are relieved that they don’t have to be held hostage to anymore Georgia concerts. Thanks for the recap!
So, I wondered why the hell Georgia felt the need to say something to Ciara.
That was very strange.
But I guess her feeling were a lot stronger than just flirtation.
I thought she seemed very genuine when she talked to him.
And I thought he handled it pretty well.
If there’s a season 2 & Jenna is on I’m not even going to watch. Jenna is a prime example of “do as I say, not as I do” as she’s whoring around in the main suite & then telling her stews to mop the hall & then tells Adam I’ve never done it. Adam’s comment about where are your “minions” gives you an idea of how little they thought of Georgia & Madison. Jenna is definitely a person who should not be in a position of power. Jenna you suck as a person!!!
I know that Jenna has gotten a lot of internet hate her way which is terrible. NO ONE deserves rile & nasty things flung their way. However, Jenna did herself no favors by her actions & behaviors during these 6 weeks. Yea, it’s obvious she was blinded by love but in what professional atmosphere would all that PDA with Adam have been acceptable? Her lack of taking responsibility for her work ethic and constant berating/blaming her team for everything was just adolescent and something I would not have expected from her. I hope she has been able, after watching this show, to see how wrong she was in many situations. She acted above everyone but Adam and their joint birching about everyone was ridiculous. I get it – she met someone she fell hard for – but she did herself – and all women really – no favors by just focusing on him. In some ways she was a prime example of what women everywhere are always accused of – losing themselves whenever a man is in the picture. She appears to be an intelligent woman; her behavior on the show, however, showed otherwise. I do hope she has learned some very important things about herself. I don’t think she’s a monster. But I do think she’s not as grown up as she thinks she is.
Everything you said Sadiesue. Jenna has a lot of room for growth but I wish everyone would lay off. Especially the ones who comment on her appearance. (no one here) I’m guilty of many stupid things (in my youth) for a dude. Thank goodness it wasn’t filmed for the world to judge.
Production had a blast putting together her scenes. So much to work with…
Captain Glenn for President!
Engineer Byron for VP!
agreed! Also I think Byron is hot.
Me too Salbee!! Also I love his personality.
I’d take Jenna for President at this point.
I can’t believe Jenna stated that she was bullied. Well, if you were bullied Jenna, the only person to have bullied you was Adam. There was something odd about the Billy and the cocaine issue. When Glenn first approach the primary about it, she didn’t say Oh my god, he would never do that. Instead she said Oh, I hope not. I do think it was interesting that in searching Billy’s belongings, they came across a bottle of Gold Bond powder. It could be that Billy had powdered his parts and then rubbed his nose and the powder dusted his nose. Though as I type this I can see that it could happen this way once but twice?? Glenn’s misstep was saying to Billy that Just because I didn’t find drugs doesn’t means there aren’t any. It’s a true statement but immature. I enjoyed this season, don’t need to see Adam again or Jenna. I suppose I could tolerate Adam without Jenna as he’s an excellent chef, the guests love his food and he doesn’t manage people. I liked Ciara, thought she had the right attitude about Paget and Georgia when she said If he goes for Georgia then he’s not meant for me. Maybe next year Chris and Madison will form a friendship. When he first arrived she said he wasn’t her type but he seems like a nice guy and she deserves a nice guy.
In Jenna’s deluded mind, she probably thought Glenn bullied her when he pointed out her poor work.
hah, forgot about that. She’d probably take it that way. thanks
I found this crew to be the most likeable of any of the Below Deck shows. I would like to see everyone back EXCEPT Jenna. I wish Amy would be on as chief stew. I guess I am in the minority, but I adore Adam. Jenna was pushing him from the second night, throwing a fit that he wasn’t jumping into bed with her. I think it would have been fun if Adam and Jenna had merely flirted — flirted to the point that if either were married to someone else, their spouses would have been amused.
I wonder if Billy was doing poppers. There was SOMETHING going on. Was that really him sniffing or did production edit that in?
Chris … I love Chris so much. What a 180 from Parker. Parker HAD to be a plant. Maybe, just maybe, I could have believed most of his nonsense, but not knowing “port” from “starboard” is basic nautical safety. Especially because there are REASONS for both names.
Maybe he was snorting Adderall. It was weird that production got all the snorting noises. I have never noticed the guests mic’d up before. So maybe it was a set up.
I just saw an ad for the reunion and it looks good. Unlike the RHOA they don’t all just screech. They take turns speaking. And Jenna cries! YAY! (Is that mean?)
