TV show- "Below Deck"

Yeah, all the film crew bs too.

We've hosted film crews on board that were worse than any charter customer. Demanding, getting in your way, always in your face and that was on deck. Up on the bridge - we tossed them off. They left a remote camera instead. They were guests of the owner then, but now I own the vessel. No one comes aboard exc military and customs.

That's like those who have rented their houses out for movies or television shows. They're shocked at the wear and tear and damage.

How about 2 guys that chartered a 75' MY for 2 days and 3 nights for the Colombus Day regatta many years ago. Limited to 12 people.....12 people get on board, mostly women boat leaves marina and anchors, a center console shows up with 13 more guys......all from a gang in Hialeah...….25 people on a 75' MY and a gang on top of it all. Only a Captain and mate on board with 13 big guys.

Ja

Joao "snapping a dickie" (a picture of his *****) using another crew members smart phone would result in immediate dismissal from any boat I was captain of.

Your post brought me to look at a post (#3, 2011) I made here back at the start of this thread: " Living it is one thing, but watching it? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Deadliest Catch it won't be. Sounds like a boat version of Housewives of....". Funny thing is that the wife and I have recently gotten into watching it and the new "Sailing" version, mainly because since retiring we watch too much TV and there's nothing else on we haven't seen. Since this is an area of the business I only have a passing acquaintance with there's some questions I'd like to ask those more experienced.
1) Are these the types of crew you normally get? (Inexperienced and dysfunctional. Constantly jumping each other's bones and getting drunk constantly when off the boat.)
2) Are your charter guests generally as dysfunctional and pompous as those shown on these shows?
3) Do you think these guests who pay a pretty penny would ever do it again after seeing how these crews talk about them.
4) Do Captains and chief stews not explain to young crew that when you talk about someone behind their back the odds are they're right behind yours?
4) Would somebody please tell the captain of the sailing yacht that it's a salon not a saloon.

On the up side Deadliest Catch starts again April 14th.

Watched it a few times, a few minutes each time.
Too much drama, no common sense, no nothing.

As nouns the difference between salon and saloon is that salon is a large room, especially one used to receive and entertain guests while saloon is (us) a tavern, especially in an american old west setting.

maybe......just add a dozen or so ladies under conehead hair dryers and the smell of hair spray!!

Hopefully Capt. Gary reads YF. Every time he calls the salon the saloon in like fingernails on a chalkboard.

The bodies aren't bad.

OK, Who is Pike?
