Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 6 Officially Announces Premiere Date Amid Shocking Cast Change Rumors That Leave Fans Stunned

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 is almost wrapping up, and it is time to look at when season 6 will air and who will return. Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 premiered on October 7, 2024, after being on hiatus for over a year with Captain Glenn Shephard returning to the helm of Parsifal III. Despite waiting so long, the audience hasn't been loving season 5 as it lacks the confrontation and heated drama that is often associated with the show.

One of the reasons it might not have performed as expected was due to Gary King's sexual misconduct allegations. While Bravo hasn't given any details about Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 6, all signs point to its renewal with a couple of changes in the cast. Season 6 producers might decide to have a cast overhaul, bringing fresh faces, which would change the storyline. For instance, should the series need a new First Officer to replace Gary, Chase Lemacks would be ready to take the role. Here are the latest details on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 6.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 6 News

Could Air In 2026

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 is coming to an end soon. It has been one season for the books due to the backlash it faced with the delays in airing and Gary's appearance on the show despite the controversy surrounding him. However, Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 6 will likely start filming by the summer of 2025, so viewers should expect it to air in early 2026.

Is Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 6 Confirmed?

Not Yet

Bravo has yet to confirm the sixth edition of Below Deck Sailing Yacht. With about three episodes left in season 5, the network will release information on when viewers can expect Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 6. The network rarely announces the renewal of their reality shows.

Bravo confirmed the return of the full crew for Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 on September 17, 2024, a few weeks before its premiere. The show also released a teaser on YouTube. The audience should expect the same with season 6 unless the show is canceled.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 6 Potential Cast

Gary King May Return

Despite his drama, Gary will still be part of the crew for the Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 6. Captain Glenn will most likely continue in this role in season 6. However, Danni Warren might not return to Below Deck Sailing Yacht after facing backlash after her tablescape failed to pass Daisy Kelliher's standards.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Chef Cloyce Martin, who joined the spin-off in season 5, could be the next victim to be fired and might not be part of season 6. Cloyce hasn't lived up to the hype. Recently, Captain Glenn hinted at his firing, stating he needs someone he can "depend on" for the chef role.

Chase, who replaced Emma Crouch after she was fired, might also continue with his yachting journey with the Below Deck Sailing Yacht crew in season 6. Although Colin MacRae exited the show after three seasons, he might return in season 6. Colin, a fan-favorite known for his light-heated personality, might not have entirely bid the franchise adieu, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him return.

When Will Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 6 Start Filming?

It Will Begin Soon

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 6 might start filming in the summer of 2025. Season 5 was filmed in the summer of 2023 in Ibiza, Spain, so that might be the case with season 6. Furthermore, Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 6 might happen in a European territory based on previous seasons' filming locations. Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 6 might be gearing up for another European destination and will most likely start filming later this year to air in 2026.
