Is Hannah Ferrier ready to get back on the sea?
The Below Deck alum, 38, reunited with Captain Sandy Yawn, 60, for a reunion tour in partnership with City Cruises Live. Ahead of setting sail from New York City's Pier 15 on Sunday, June 29, the two spoke with PEOPLE in an exclusive interview, during which Ferrier revealed if she’d ever return to the hit Bravo reality show.
The former chief stewardess says she’s friends with several show captains, including Yawn, Kerry Titheradge and Jason Chambers, and she’d be happy to step in "they ever needed me."
"If they were ever in a pickle, I'd be happy to go and help them," Ferrier tells PEOPLE. "I'm not sure how I'd go with showing up on day one with a little backpack to spend six weeks sleeping in a bunk. But yeah, I would always go and help them if they needed it."

Ferrier was a cast member of Below Deck Mediterranean from 2016 until 2020, when she was fired midseason for having unregistered Valium and a vape pen in her possession on the vessel.
At the time, the stewardess insisted the items were to manage her anxiety. However, Maritime law stipulates that crew members must check medications in with the captain, which she admittedly did not do.
During Ferrier’s time on the show, she had her ups and downs with Yawn. In March 2021, shortly after her firing, she appeared on the Side Piece with Melissa Pfeister podcast and claimed that the captain had "some weird competitive thing" with her.
In January 2024, she said in an Instagram comment, per Bravo, that she had not been in touch with Yawn since her final season.
Last month, Ferrier opened up on an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen about mending her relationship with Yawn and their upcoming appearances.
"Enough time had passed where I was like, 'I don't like holding onto grudges, I don't like having any bad energy in my body,'" she said. "Also, Sandy and I, despite what you saw on camera, we actually had something real during those years. I think that's why I was so hurt and disappointed."

During the panel, the stewardess shared that she does not regret her yachting years. "If I didn't join yachting, Below Deck wouldn't have happened," Ferrier said. "But then as well, I wouldn't have met my husband and had my daughter. I'm a big fan of no regrets and everything happens for a reason."
As for how the tour came together, Yawn tells PEOPLE that "Hannah landed on my heart" when her manager reached out about the deal with City Cruises and they began discussing cast members who could join.
Ferrier recalls being asked to join the cruise, saying, "I was hosting a women's retreat at the time and I was like, ‘Oh yeah, sure, I'm up for that.' I didn't really expect much more from it and then it was like, 'OK, you're headed to the states. You're going to host some nights.' "
"It was good because I haven't been to America since before COVID. This is such a nice way to do it. It's on a boat, which is how people know us," she adds.
