Below Deck Down Under will feature a major Bravo crossover as the cast of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is slated to appear as charter guests in the upcoming fourth season. On April 12, 2025, Bravo made the official announcement via an Instagram post, confirming the collaboration.

“🚨 ALL CREW, ALL CREW… Little Girl! 🚨 Below Deck Down Under Season 4 just started filming with a first-ever Real Housewives crossover charter featuring the full cast of #RHOSLC," the caption read.

The Housewives set to appear include Britani Bateman, Lisa Barlow, Mary Cosby, Heather Gay, Angie Katsanevas, Meredith Marks, Brownyn Newport, and Whitney Rose. The announcement post featured a photo of Mary and Angie posing with Below Deck regulars.

It is the first full cast collaboration between The Real Housewives franchise and Below Deck. While Heather previously appeared on Below Deck Adventure, this event marks a new milestone for Bravo crossovers.

Captain Jason returns to Below Deck Down Under, joined by Daisy Kelliher and Chef Ben

Captain Jason Chambers will continue as the main cast member aboard the superyacht, leading the crew for another charter season. Alongside him, two known faces will take on central roles: Daisy Kelliher will serve as Chief Stew, and Chef Ben Robinson will handle the kitchen.

"Captain Jason has enlisted the help of some familiar faces for the upcoming season…Daisy as Chief Stew and Chef Ben! 🛥️" the caption further read.

Both are returning from previous Below Deck seasons, as featured in the photo released for the official confirmation. Daisy, who worked with Captain Glenn on Below Deck Sailing Yacht, is now joining Down Under for her first season on the spin-off.

Chef Ben, known for his appearances on Below Deck and Below Deck Mediterranean, is also returning to the galley. The inclusion of both cast members is expected to bring continuity and familiarity to longtime viewers.

In the Instagram post’s comment section, TV host, producer, and writer Andy Cohen wrote.

“We have waited too long for this."

Meanwhile, Below Deck alum Kate Chastain posted, “Hi @bravo @51minds, I’d like to book a charter,” referring to production company 51 Minds.

Could this open doors for more Bravo crossovers?

With Bravo confirming the full RHOSLC cast’s appearance in Below Deck Down Under, questions have emerged about potential future crossovers involving other Housewives cities or Bravo shows. This is the first time the entire cast of a Real Housewives series will appear on Below Deck, signaling a possible direction for future seasons.

The network’s choice to make this their first official crossover may indicate a trial run for other similar collaborations. For now, Bravo viewers await a premiere date and further details on the RHOSLC charter episodes, expected to air later in 2025.

Chef Ben Robinson returns despite calling Below Deck “mentally in jail”

Chef Ben Robinson is returning to Below Deck Down Under season 4 after several years away from the franchise. Robinson was part of the original Below Deck cast until season 4 and later appeared in Below Deck Mediterranean season 4. He had previously spoken about the demanding nature of his job. In a July 2020 interview with the Mirror, he shared:

“I got three hours sleep a night. I didn’t get a break, I just worked all the time."

He described the experience as isolating and added that it was like being "mentally in jail," and "tough.”
