Fans' most beloved spin-off of the Below Deck franchise, Below Deck Mediterranean, is back for season 9. The wait will be over on Monday, June 3, as the show premieres on Bravo, at 9 pm ET.
Season 9 will see the return of Captain Sandy who has been with the series for seven consecutive seasons. She will be at the helm of the motorboat, Mustique, alongside other familiar faces like Aesha Scott and Elena Dubaich.
Viewers believe the list of all nine crew members put out by Bravo seems full of promise, even though six of them have never experienced the shoot life while onboard.
The nine crew members on Below Deck Mediterranean season 9
1) Captain Sandy Yawn
With 36 years' experience in the yachting industry, Captain Sandy has always managed to make it look easy to guests, no matter what goes on behind the scenes. In an interview with Bravo, when the captain was asked for her thoughts on the boat Mustique, she said,
"I was excited to run it because it was built in the same shipyard as the White Star, the vessel I became captain on in 2003".
When she was asked about her favorite activities to do in her free time, she mentioned skiing, snowboarding, and playing in the water.
2) Chief Stew Aesha Scott
Aesha Scott is a familiar face from Below Deck Down Under and Below Deck Mediterranean. Her skills and will to do her best have gotten her back on the show yet again. She has eight years' experience and likes to nap or text Scotty in her free time, if she gets any, according to Bravo.
3) Stew Elena Dubaich
Elena is a highly experienced stew, with 8 years' experience to her name. She has several skills, such as those of a massage therapist, personal trainer, and yoga instructor. Her favorite activities, reportedly, are lifting weights and regaining muscle mass.

6) Deckhand Nathan Gallagher
Nathan is relatively new to the scene, with only two years' experience in the industry. In his Bravo interview, Nathan stated "making people laugh" is a special skill, and revealed that he was currently saving up for a house in Spain, so he was keeping his time off limited.

8) Deckhand Joe Bradley
Joe has three years' experience when it comes to yacht life, making him a great addition to Below Deck Mediterranean.
