Below Deck Sailing Yacht has captivated audiences for five seasons, but what are the former cast members from Season 2 up to these days? The ongoing season features a fresh wave of drama, particularly surrounding Gary’s allegations of sexual misconduct. This controversy has prompted Gary to reflect on his drinking habits, while Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher opts to share a cabin with him in an attempt to maintain control.
The intrigue doesn’t stop there. Chase Lemacks, previously a Deckhand, has returned, taking the place of Emma Crouch. Meanwhile, Stews Danni Warren and Diana Cruz appear to be vying for his attention, creating a love triangle that sees Danni racing from Keith Allen to Gary to Chase in record time. However, the emotional stakes of Season 2 remain unmatched. So, what has become of its cast members?
Captain Glenn Shephard
Captain
Captain Glenn Shephard has remained a steady leader on Below Deck Sailing Yacht. After taking charge again in Season 2, he was faced with significant challenges, notably when the Parsifal III suffered a mishap for which he took full responsibility, stressing the value of communication on board.
In the current structure of Season 5, Captain Glenn continues to oversee the crew. He is in a committed relationship, which has attracted some commentary regarding their age gap. Despite mixed opinions about his demeanor, Captain Glenn consistently ensures smooth sailing aboard the yacht.
Daisy Kelliher
Chief Stew
Daisy Kelliher remains a prominent figure on the show. Initially noted for her pragmatic professionalism in Season 2, she had not yet engaged in the personal drama that would later define her image. Her complex love triangle involving Gary and Colin surfaced in Season 4, significantly shifting her on-screen narrative.
Currently in Season 5, Daisy faces tension with her colleague stews and unresolved feelings towards Gary, leading to speculation about her future on the show. Additionally, she has taken personal steps such as freezing her eggs, indicating a desire to pursue new life chapters beyond her role on Below Deck.
Gary King
First Mate
A mainstay of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, Gary King returns as the complicated First Mate for Season 5. Back in Season 2, his penchant for romance led to conflict, particularly in his interactions with Sydney Zaruba and Alli Dore. This flirtation sparked significant tension among the female crew members.

In Season 5, Gary finds himself without a love interest but continues to navigate unanswered tensions with Daisy. Following allegations against him concerning his behavior, he has become more career-focused, despite a notable reduction in his screen time.
Natasha De Bourg
Chef
Chef Natasha De Bourg showcased her culinary skills during Season 2 and has continued to build her career in the culinary arts since then. Post-show, she expressed aspirations of opening a culinary school in her home country, Trinidad.
By 2024, Natasha remains active in the gastronomy field, hosting pop-up events and coming up with innovative culinary ventures. Her successful pop-up dining experience in Aruba in November 2024 underscored her evolution as a chef—transforming her time on the series into a launchpad for her culinary aspirations.
Colin MacRae
Chief Engineer
Colin crafted a strong reputation as a beloved Chief Engineer during his tenure on Below Deck Sailing Yacht, before departing in Season 5. His romantic involvement with Daisy during Season 4, coupled with his bond with Gary, created tension that impacted both his friendships and the crew dynamics.
Now, Colin enjoys life aboard an old catamaran, traveling through the Southern Pacific. He has even started a YouTube channel to document his adventures, seemingly moving past his experiences on the show while considering a possible return only if Daisy exits the franchise.
Alli Dore
Stew
Renowned for her love triangle with Gary and Sydney, Alli Dore has since prioritized personal growth. After welcoming her child, River, in 2021, she has been candid about the postpartum challenges she faces and her commitment to managing her health through a medically supervised weight-loss program.
Dani Soares
Stew
Dani has navigated a whirlwind of emotions since her departure from Below Deck Sailing Yacht. After a brief relationship with Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux, she discovered her pregnancy and became a dedicated single mother to their daughter, Lilly, post-show. Transitioning into nursing was her recent pursuit, culminating in her graduation in May 2024, all while balancing her motherhood journey.
Sydney Zaruba
deckhand
After an emotionally charged experience with Gary during Season 2, Sydney Zaruba has moved forward without looking back. Now thriving as a luxury travel advisor, she effectively manages her own travel agency and blog, The Boho Traveller, while residing in Spain. Recently engaged, Sydney seems to have fully transitioned away from her past entanglements with the show.
Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux
deckhand
Jean-Luc’s contentious relationship with Dani and the ensuing drama remained a memorable highlight of Below Deck Sailing Yacht. Even after asserting he wasn’t the father of Lilly—later proven wrong by a DNA test—the aftermath of his behavior is hard to forget. Currently, he appears to be in a new relationship but has maintained a lower profile online since the upheaval and drama surrounding his co-parenting relationship with Dani.
Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs on Mondays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo and is available for streaming on Peacock the day after.
