Below Deck Sailing Yacht was developed as the second spin-off series of the Below Deck franchise. The show chronicles the lives of the crew members working and living aboard the 177 ft sailing yacht Parsifal III during charter season. The most recent season, filmed in Spain, aired from February 21, 2022, to June 20, 2022.
Meanwhile, the first and second seasons of the series took place in Greece and Croatia, respectively. Nonetheless, Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans will see the Parsifal III with a revamped cast lineup, exploring the waters of Sardinia, Italy, in the upcoming season 4. The new season scheduled to premiere on April 10, will be available for streaming on Peacock the next day. With the trailer teasing a drama-filled season, fans have much to look forward to in the upcoming season, including the new faces joining the show.
Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 Features Old and New Faces
Once again, Captain Glenn Shephard will be the central figure aboard the Parsifal III. Nevertheless, this season will see a slight change in his leadership style, with him tilting towards a bit more micromanaging. On the crew dynamics aboard Parsifal III in the upcoming season, a Bravo press release teased, “Captain Glenn and his comeback team, Daisy Kelliher, Gary King, and Colin MacRae, resume their responsibilities aboard Parsifal III, along with new, dynamic crew members, as they set sail in Sardinia, Italy.”
The show promises a burst of fresh energy by introducing five new crew members, including chef ILeisha Dell, stews Lucy Edmunds and Mads Herrera, and deckhands Chase Lemacks and Alex Propson. Chef Ileisha Dell comes into the show with over 17 years of culinary experience. The Australian enjoys traveling, cooking, living, and working on the water.
Lucy Edmunds makes her reality TV debut on the show as one of the stews. She is originally from Wales but enjoys traveling, and her bubbly personality makes her a great addition to the series. Mads Herrera was born and raised in South Florida. Mads may only have two years of experience in the yachting industry, but she spends most of her time on the water and yachts, so fans expect her to hit the ground running.
Chase Lemacks’ wealth of experience helps him to work under pressure, even when dealing with demanding guests. Originally from South Carolina, Chase dreams of running charters worldwide with his sailboat one day. Finally, Alex Propson is from Wisconsin but got a crash course in yachting while networking in Los Angeles. Alex was previously in sales, but the pandemic forced a switch in his career. However, he is passionate about his new job and has come so far quickly.

Although it was already revealed at Bravocon that Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 would air this year, it was not until the trailer recently dropped that fans finally began to feel the preseason jitters. And the carefully crafted trailer clip had a brilliant way of giving a lot while not giving anything. The clip starts with beautiful views of Sardinia, Italy, and a peaceful-looking Parsifal III before things collapse into complete chaos.
The trailer teases a near collision, with the yacht also running into terrible tidal waves that send some crew members tumbling. At the trailer’s beginning, Captain Glenn pays tribute to the Parsifal III, saying she had never let him down in 13 years. However, that changes this season with two potentially season-ending engine failures.
The boat also has a lot of romance, with the new crew members spearheading the charge. However, OGs Colin, Daisy, and Gary get caught in a messy love triangle — with a particular scene showing Gary call the two out for “spitefully hooking up.” The trailer certainly did a great job of pushing viewers’ interest in the upcoming season through the roof. Fans can only hope that the season will live up to the hype and leave them with memorable moments at the end of the day.
