On Monday, July 11, Captain Sandy Yawn returned with a new set of crew members for the Season 7 premiere of Below Deck Mediterranean. While most of them seemed competent, bosun Raygan Tyler disappointed fans with her unprofessional behavior.
The first episode of Below Deck Mediterranean Season 7 featured a new yacht in Malta, called Home. Captain Sandy confirmed that it was her first time on the yacht, the port location, and also with the crew. Luckily, all the staff came with a lot of experience from their previous jobs.
Bosun Tyler, despite being an experienced staff member, took multiple breaks in Episode 1, when they were short-staffed. Under her supervision, she was supposed to have three deckhands, but two of them were stuck for an extra day in quarantine.
Instead of helping her deckhand, she was seen relaxing and going for smoke breaks, without seeking the captain’s permission to get down to port.
Viewers condemned Raygan Tyler’s behavior on social media. They didn’t like the fact that she was not helping her deckhand Jason Gaskell when they were short-staffed. Instead, Captain Sandy was seen helping Gaskell.
What do fans have to say about Tyler's behavior on Below Deck Mediterranean?
In one of the scenes, Captain Sandy called out Tyler for not handing over the anchor watch schedule to her on the first day. Even charter guests were seen to be unhappy with her attitude. Tyler, however, justified her laid-back behavior by saying that her previous yacht job was an easy-going one.
Below Deck Mediterranean fans slammed Tyler on Twitter for being lazy. Take a look at their reactions:

The official synopsis of Season 7 Episode 1, titled There’s No Place Like Home, reads:
“Captain Sandy kicks off another charter season in the Mediterranean, this time on the exclusive island of Malta aboard the sleek and ultra-modern motoryacht Home. With all-new department heads, things get off to a tumultuous start when the bosun is left short-handed.”
