All aboard for a new season of Below Deck Mediterranean! Captain Sandy Yawn and her crew are setting sail for Spain in the 10th season of the Bravo series, premiering September 29. 

The views are gorgeous, but the waters are anything but peaceful as the team faces unpredictable weather that leads to restless guests, and a stewardess with a wandering eye sparks drama in the crew.  

“You guys ready?” Captain Sandy asks in the sneak peek. 

Captain Sandy Yawn, Chief Stew Aesha Scott return for ‘Below Deck Mediterranean’ Season 10 

On this season of Below Deck Med, Captain Sandy returns to Barcelona, where she reunites with her newly engaged Chief Stew Aesha Scott, as well as Nathan Gallagher, the season 9 deckhand who’s just been promoted to bosun, and deckhand Max Salavdor from season 8. 

Joining the quartet of returning faces on the sleek new M/Y Bravado will be five new crew members: Michelin-trained chef Josh Bingham, Stews Kizzi Kitchener and Victoria SanJuan, and Deckhands Christian Trimino and Tessa Budd.

With a top-tier team of stews on her side, Aesha is hoping that she’s going to finally get the chance to be the mentor she’s always wanted to be. Bosun Nathan also wants to prove himself in his new role. But when faced with an inexperienced and unmotivated team, he’ll have to make a tough decision. Meanwhile, Chef Josh has serious culinary chops (in addition to clowning skills), but will his talents translate to the challenging conditions in the galley?

Nathan admits he came into this season of Below Deck Med with a lot of confidence. But reality soon set him straight.  

“This past charter season has been one of the toughest times in my entire life … I thought I was going to come on as a first-time bosun and kill it,” Nathan says in the teaser. “Boy was I wrong.” 

As always, Captain Sandy has little patience for those who don’t meet her “standard of excellence.”

“Get your f*cking sh*t together on this deck,” she tells Nathan during a heated confrontation. “You understand?”

But despite the on-board tensions, Nathan has reason to smile. His girlfriend Gael Cameron – who he met on Below Deck Med Season 9 – is pregnant. (The couple welcomed their baby in June.) 

Aesha is also looking forward to the next chapter of her life. She got engaged last year, and she needs all the cash she can get for her new house. 

“Most seasons, I don’t care about how much tip money we’re getting, but this season, I need to earn the bloody money,” she explains in a confessional. “We got a mortgage. I need paint brushes. I need paint. Do you know how expensive paint is?”

Others on the ship are just looking for a good time. 

“We’ve got a great crew,” one newbie says in the trailer. “I just want to f*ck everyone.” 

And then there’s the charter guest who’s on the hunt for a new girlfriend. The eligible bachelor has enlisted the help of his personal matchmaker, and now he’s bringing six women on board with him in the hopes of finding the one. 

Below Deck Mediterranean premieres Monday, September 29 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. Episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
