Below Deck is back! The high-seas drama cesspool will kick into high gear with some old and new faces.
Sexy chef Ben Robinson, drunki-fabulous Kat Held and Eddie Lucas will all return, as we knew from the Summer By Bravo ads featuring Kat and Ben. At the helm of, Ohana, a new $10 million dollar private yacht is Captain Lee. Surprisingly Adrienne Gang, who butted heads with several crewmembers last season will not return. Rumor has it Adrienne, who helped create the show and cast the original season, was holding out for more money and Bravo wasn't willing to bite.
It's no surprise, however, that Sam Orme, who was dating one of the cameramen and seemed to detest the yachting life will not be returning for a sophomore voyage. Of course in their place will be all-new ready and willing crewmembers! Kate Chastain, brother-sister duo Kelley and Amy Johnson, Jennice Ontiveros, and Andrew Sturby will all be setting sail. It was reportedly Bravo's plan all along to mix new crew members in with the original bunch to keep the show from getting stale.
This season the crew will be running mega-buck private charters through Virgin Islands.

Captain Lee
Captain Lee - leading more than a luxury yacht, he is also leading a motley crew whom he expects utmost professionalism from. With high standards, he prefers the life of the private charter "as he feels the joy he gets in seeing his guests’ expressions as they view the beautiful scenery is priceless and not something he can get in an office setting."
Amy Johnson
Amy Johnson, Steward: The 31-year-old southern belle left the corporate sales lifestyle to pursue adventure and travel as she joined her brother (and best friend) Kelley on the Ohana. Known for her impeccable work ethic, Amy is apparently also easy to get along with.
Andrew Sturby
Andrew Sturby, Deckhand – The 26-year-old is from the Bahamas so presumably the ocean life is in his blood. Andrew has lived and traveled all over.
Jennice Ontiveros
Jennice Ontiveros, Deckhand: After college she lucked into a job as a stew and ended up going full-scale into the yachtie lifestyle from there!
Kate Chastain
Kate Chastain, Chief Stewardess. Replacing Adrienne as HBIC, she hails from Melbourne Beach, Florida and has been yachting for seven years.
Kelley Johnson
Kelley Johnson, Deckhand: The 27-year-old from Wichita Falls, Texas has always loved the water and joined the Marines before venturing into the yachting profession. He currently works aboard the Ohana with his sister Amy.
A preview of Season 2 is below!
Below Deck premieres August 12 at 9/10c.
