Bravo revealed the crew for Below Deck Mediterranean Season 11 on May 11 during NBCUniversal's Upfront presentation in New York City, setting up a new charter season that begins Monday, June 8 at 8/7c on Bravo. Episodes will stream the next day on Peacock.
The season takes place in Dubrovnik, Croatia, aboard M/Y Akira One, with Captain Sandy Yawn at the helm. The cast includes chief stew Aesha Scott, bosun Nathan Gallagher and returning deckhand Joe Bradley, along with Chef Joy Lefaucheur, stews Gen Lillie, Kayley Smith and Kat Johnston, and deckhands Cooper Dawson and Luke Brumer.
Bravo said there are a few familiar faces in the group to help show the newcomers the ropes, and Yawn brings 37 years of experience in the yachting industry to the job. That mix gives the new season an immediate built-in dynamic: veterans who know the boat, and fresh crew members who will have to keep pace once the charters start.
The key question is not whether Below Deck Mediterranean Season 11 has enough personality on deck. It is whether the combination of returning names, new hires and a veteran captain can keep the charter season moving once the premiere arrives in June.
