Below Deck loves a good cast crossover, but the show has its fair share of yachties who won’t likely return to the show ever again.
Some crew members were fired from the show for dangerous or unacceptable behavior. While others have said they won’t ever return to Below Deck. So who are the yachties the least likely to return to Below Deck?
These ‘Below Deck’ yachties will never return to the series
Some crew members behaved so badly, Below Deck producers won’t ever hire them again. Most recently, Below Deck Down Under bosun Luke Jones, who was fired for almost sexually assaulting another crew member, makes the short list of banned yachties.
Another crew member who won’t return is deckhand Pete Hunziker from Below Deck Med Season 5. During his season, Hunziker shared a racist and sexist meme on Instagram. When fans called him out, he doubled down.

Captain Lee Rosbach’s Below Deck “travel agency” was alive and well beginning with season 2. Rosbach always told the crew to not embarrass the boat or themselves on and off charter because he had a pocketful of plane tickets – which meant any crew members who broke the rules or couldn’t cut it on the job could be fired.
Throughout the 10 seasons of the show, Rosbach personally fired eight crew members. Some crew members, like deckhand Andrew Sturby, were crew who simply weren’t ready for the job. Other crew members, like Dane Jackson, were fired for inappropriate behavior.
Rosbach didn’t fire a crew member on Below Deck Season 1. But he started with Sturby in season 2. Also, two crew members were fired during Below Deck Season 10, but Captain Sandy Yawn fired them. Yawn took over while Rosbach was on land dealing with a medical issue.

Captain Lee Rosbach has always had more of a hands-off approach with his chef on Below Deck. But he fired one chef when his dirty oven seemed to be behind a late-night kitchen fire.
Rosbach only fired one chef and worked with two chefs for multiple seasons. Who were Rosbach’s chefs during his 10 years on Below Deck?
Chef Ben Robinson was Captain Lee’s ‘Below Deck’ chef for 3 1/2 seasons
