Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5’s trailer has finally arrived, and with Captain Glenn Shephard’s crew including First Officer Gary King, fans are disappointed in the show’s return . While Below Deck viewers have been impatiently awaiting news about Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 for over a year, the trailer has finally been released, and has many concerned about what the season is going to look like. While the trailer reveals the return of some familiar faces, the storylines that appear to be part of the season left viewers feeling uneasy. After Gary’s sexual misconduct allegations, his involvement seems overwhelming.
In the Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 trailer, the crew’s chartering guests around Ibiza in a new sailing adventure. With Gary showing up early in the trailer after Daisy Kelliher makes her grand entrance, things get dicey quickly. “That’s right, we have a f****** job and I’m not carrying this f****** season on my own you f****** prick,” Daisy shouts at Gary in one moment of the trailer as he lays in his bed, looking dismayed. The rest of the trailer shows the genuine chaos of the season, featuring Gary heavily much to the surprise of Below Deck viewers .
He’s part of the show more than ever.
Throughout the Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 trailer, it was clear that Gary will be a focal point of the exterior team’s story. Being shown on the deck with some of the exterior team, pushing Deckhands to their limits and critiquing their work, Gary’s presence on the sailing yacht may be odd during Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 . While he appears to be getting along with Daisy , he may not even have her in his corner by the end of the charter season. His heavy involvement in the trailer may not indicate the same throughout the whole season.
Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.
Although Gary has been a part of Below Deck Sailing Yacht since the early days of the series, seeing him as a member of the crew after his sexual misconduct allegations came to light is tough. While Bravo filmed Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 before the allegations were revealed, they came to light during the filming of the season and it appears that the network didn’t choose to remove Gary from later episodes or take action at all. Though it remains to be seen if production did anything about Gary , it’s disappointing to some to see him on screen.
It could be chaotic fun, but gary leaves a stain on the show.
Although the trailer for Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 makes it seem like one of the most exciting, dramatic seasons of the series we’ve ever seen, the mess may not be worth it if Gary’s involved. By ignoring the sexual misconduct allegations lodged against Gary and leaving him on the series, seemingly without explanation, Bravo is allowing it to seem like what he may have done is okay. Though nothing has been proven, taking no action on Below Deck Sailing Yacht could be a misstep that may taint the entire season of the sailing spin-off for once excited viewers.
Below Deck Sailing Yacht premieres Monday, October 7 at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo.

Below deck sailing yacht 's daisy kelliher confronts "pr--k" gary king following their failed boatmance in e news' exclusive first look at season five. plus, meet the new yachties..
Below Deck Sailing Yacht 's new season will be anything but smooth sailing.
That's because returning costars Daisy Kelliher and Gary King are anything but friendly after their failed boatmance in E! News' exclusive first look at the Bravo series' fifth season.
Following Daisy, Gary and BDSY alum Colin MacRae 's messy love triangle , Daisy is still reeling from the complicated and dramatic fallout from last season.
"Going into this season, I got rid of some dead weight," the newly single Chief Stew says in the trailer. "The breakup did a number on me last year. I felt very broken. But now, I'm coming back in more focused, full of energy and I'm f--king good at my job. And I'm taking back the reigns."
Despite her initial confidence about returning to the Parsifal III , Daisy adds, "It's gonna be a s--t show."
Cut to the Ireland native yelling at Gary, "Guess what? We have a f--king job to do and I'm not f--king carrying this season on my own, you f--king pr--k!"
But luckily for Daisy, the preview teases her quickly moving on with new Deckhand Keith Allen , who tells Gary, "Daisy would make a very good wife. No?"
As for Gary's response, he bursts out laughing at the crewmember's declaration.
However, Daisy feels the same about Keith and tells him, "You're the kind of person I've never met before."
And when it comes to this season's charter guests, the yachties have too much of a good time with one group on shore.
After a night out, Captain Glenn Shephard warns the team, "You guys went out with some guests, I set some ground rules. Two drinks maximum. You knew the rules, you broke the f--king rules, and now you're here getting upset."
Check out the trailer above for a preview of all the drama to come. And keep reading to meet new yachties Chef Cloyce Martin , Chief Engineer Davide Morosi , Stews Diana Cruz and Danni Warren and Deckhand Emma Crouch .

Helena Scutt, who has teamed up with Paris Henken to qualify for this summer’s Olympics in sailing, overcame a serious back injury to continue in the sport. Scutt and Henken will represent the U.S. in the 49erFX, a boat that will be making its Olympic debut.
On a momentous February day in Clearwater, Fla. the two women sailed up to their coach triumphantly, giddy with elation.
After a dominating performance in the opening races of 49erFX world championships, Helena Scutt, a Kirkland native, and Paris Henken, from San Diego, had locked up their spot on the 2016 U.S. Olympic team two days before the end of the regatta.
That Friday afternoon marked the fulfillment of a dream years in the making.
As Scutt, 23, and Henken, 20, piloted their skiff back to the beach in Florida and excitedly announced their accomplishment to their friends and family via social media, it all finally started to sink in.
Scutt, who as a little girl from Kirkland learned to love boats by sailing the waters of Lake Washington with her English father while munching on fish and chips from Ivar’s on Lake Union, was going to sail in the Olympics.
After postponing graduate school at Stanford, coping with the stress that comes from knowing you have to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to finance a dream that afforded you slim odds of success, and getting back in the boat after breaking her back in a serious accident that required months of recovery time, suddenly, for Scutt, it was all worth it.
She and Henken had earned the right to make history as the first pair of sailors to represent the United States in Rio in the 49erFX, a boat that will be making its Olympic debut.
Even though sailing itself has been part of the modern Olympic Games since the beginning in 1896, high-performance skiff racing did not become one of the Olympic sailing classes until the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia, when the 49er was added to the Olympic sailing lineup and the Seattle pair of brothers, Charlie and Jonathan McKee, took home bronze for the U.S.
“A lot of times when people think of sailing, they’re influenced by old stereotypes of crusty old men on top of their America’s Cup yachts, and there’s a guy in charge,” said Willie McBride, Scutt and Henken’s coach. “High-performance sailing is much more of an athletic endeavor, a team effort.”
The Rio de Janeiro Olympics will mark the first year in which there will be a high performance skiff-racing event for women in the Summer Games. These skiffs are nothing like traditional sailboats, says Jen Glass, who coached Scutt when she first started sailing at the Seattle Yacht Club at about age 11.
Scutt grew up sailing around Seattle with her father Oliver, an Englishman who, as a boy, spent many summers sailing with his brothers at their grandparents’ place on the Isle of Wight, a traditional center of British yacht racing.
Scutt learned to sail on a little Laser Pico boat, but later transitioned to the 29er skiff, before moving on to the bigger 49erFX in 2012.
“From the athletic perspective, skiffs are more like windsurfing,” Glass said. “You’re often on your feet, you can’t really sit down and relax. There’s a lot more that could go wrong, (skiffs) can capsize a lot more, they’re moving at faster speed and they’re usually closer together when they’re racing.”
The 49erFX that Scutt and Henken will sail in Rio this August weighs about 220 pounds and does not stand upright on its own when eased into the water. The women control the boat in part by constantly shifting their body weight. This involves hanging off the trapeze on the side of the boat, frequently leaning so far back that they’re racing parallel to the water.
“We can actually go faster than the wind, that’s how efficient and light these boats are,” Scutt said.
Twenty 49erFX teams will compete in the 12-race series at the Olympics in August, with the top 10 making it to the medal race
Scutt and Henken finished 13th at the world championships in February in the same race in which they qualified for the Olympics. Even though they’re the top U.S. team, they are considered underdogs to medal because they’re younger and more inexperienced than many of their competitors.
“But at the same time, they could really surprise a lot of people in August by continuing to improve the way they have,” McBride said. “I think the one thing that’s really encouraging is that Paris and Helena have made a steady charge up the ranks.
“I’ve certainly been really impressed at how, at every single regatta that I’ve worked with them, they do a really good job putting to work the lessons they learned at the last event.”
Scutt and Henken met for the first time in 2008, but didn’t team up as sailing partners until 2013, upon the recommendation of Charlie McKee, who is currently U.S. Sailing’s high performance director.
They found that they worked well together, and saw early success, winning the first two races they entered together in the summer of 2013. But in their third event together, things went horribly wrong.
In September 2013, at the world championships in France, both women were hanging off the trapeze of their boat, backs inches from the water and approaching one of the marks on the course, when they sighted a German skiff coming at them from the opposite direction.
Henken, who’s the skipper and in charge of steering, looked to maneuver away from the oncoming boat, but both women quickly realized that the field of skiffs were packed so tightly together that there was nowhere they could go.
Henken and Scutt’s boat collided with the Germans’ boat, but the skiffs themselves never touched. Instead, the wing of the German boat hit Scutt’s outstretched body, and her back took the brunt of the impact.
Both boats flipped, and the four women found themselves in the water.
Henken and the Germans were fine. Scutt knew, as soon as she bobbed up to the surface in her life jacket, that she was seriously injured. Every breath hurt, but she managed to holler at Henken to call for help.
When help arrived, Henken pulled Scutt up and into their coach’s boat, then hurriedly stripped off Scutt’s gear. She lifted her teammate’s shirt, and to her horror found that half Scutt’s torso had already turned black and blue. Paramedics immobilized Scutt in a cervical brace and she was raced to the hospital by ambulance.
Scutt had broken two ribs and fractured the left transverse process of her second lumbar vertebrae. She also had a lacerated kidney and severe internal bleeding.
Surprisingly, however, Scutt’s injuries did not require surgery. Doctors told her there was nothing she could do except allow her body to heal on its own over time.
So Scutt went back at Stanford to resume her senior year of college. She spent most of her time in bed, either sleeping or studying, travelled to and from classes in a golf cart, and relied on her friends and roommates to help nurse her back to full health.
In the immediate aftermath of the accident, Henken was wracked by guilt because she blamed herself for the collision.
“I felt really bad because I was the one steering the boat, and I thought maybe I could have done something more with the situation,” Henken said. “It kind of sucks to think that in an instant you could have changed someone’s life drastically.”
But Scutt repeatedly assured her teammate that she was not at fault, and the pair now believe that getting through the accident has brought them closer together.
“I think it really made us stronger as a team, realizing what trust means,” Scutt says. “It strengthened our bond.”
Scutt did not race again until January 2014, when she and Henken were reunited at the Sailing World Cup in Miami. Despite the severity of her injuries, Scutt says she never thought twice about getting back in the boat.
“The boat didn’t hurt me. … It wasn’t the boat. It was the other boat,” Scutt said. “Being around other boats, that’s what’s scary for me. And still, sometimes, when we’re in a similar situation (to the accident) I’ll lean up a little bit.”
In June 2014, Scutt got her undergraduate degree from Stanford, while Henken graduated from Coronado High School in California. That fall, Scutt started a masters program at Stanford, and Henken completed one semester of college at the College of Charleston in South Carolina before the pair realized that they’d have to train full-time if they wanted to make it to the 2016 Olympics.
They took leaves of absence from school, and by December 2014, embarked on their Olympic quest. So far, the gamble has paid off. Henken and Scutt took bronze at the 2015 Pan-American Games in Toronto, and have established themselves as the top American team in their class.
But as they quickly discovered, mounting an Olympic campaign can be a costly endeavor.
Travel and training expenses for Henken, Scutt and their coach can cost upwards of $14,000 per month. Scutt estimates that this year’s Olympic campaign has cost more than $90,000, and the women have had to raise the bulk of this on their own through a variety of fundraising efforts.
A crowdfunding effort on the site RallyMe raised about $16,000 that got Scutt and Henken through Olympic trials in February. Since then, they’ve worked with sponsors, family and friends to try to raise another $75,000 to get them through the Olympics.
As skipper, Henken is tasked with steering the boat, while Scutt controls the main sail, among several other tasks.
Their personalities fit well with their roles on the boat, and the pair complements one another in a multitude of ways, McBride said.
“Paris is the artist on the boat. She’s really good at feeling the boat and is very sensitive to changes in pressure in the sheets and the waves. She can feel what the boat needs,” McBride says. “Helena is the scientist on the boat. She’s really good at doing the mechanics, very good at doing the routine. When we talk in our debriefs about when something needs to change, Helena only needs to hear that once and it becomes part of the routine right away.
“Having those two different styles – the artist and the scientist – they have the whole package. They have the feel, and the ability to reproduce the same maneuvers consistently, and it makes it so they can focus on the racing.”
Racing these skiffs at the international level is part art and part science. It involves being able to quickly read and adapt to conditions, but requires that the sailor possess enough technical know how to plan and execute the best course of attack.
Aside from on-the-water training, Henken and Scutt also do regular strength and conditioning work, and spend hours analyzing video, reading articles to enhance their technical knowledge, and consulting with U.S. Sailing’s team meteorologist to learn about the conditions they’ll encounter in Rio.
Between now and the Olympics, Scutt and Henken will make three training trips to Rio to scope out the terrain and get used to the local water conditions. The pair expects the waters in and around Guanabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro to move in a lot of different directions at varying strengths, depending on the time of day and the shifting winds.
The other tricky thing about high performance sailing is that race courses are not laid out until the day of the event. Unlike, a cyclist or marathon runner, it’s impossible to stage a practice run through the exact course before race day.
“Literally, five minutes before the race starts, they are dropping the marks in the water, and it’s you job as the sailor to figure out the best path,” Scutt says. “Everyone in the race takes a different path. … They’ll even move the marks during the race. If something changes halfway through the race, they can alter the course. So it’s all about being flexible and thinking on your feet.”
Teamwork is a big part of the equation too. And not just between Scutt and Henken. Out on the water, with the wind swirling and the swell building, the boat becomes a character with a personality of its own, and Scutt and Henken’s success is ultimately determined by how well they demonstrate their mastery of this strong-willed boat amidst the elements.
“If it’s light wind, the boat is calmer and you really need to tell the boat what to do. You have to be more forceful with your body weight and rock it in certain ways, but you have to be very smooth and not disturb everything,” Scutt said. “When it’s windy, we call it ‘boat wrestling.’ The boat is this platform you have to keep under you. It still demands slow motions, but you have to be a lot quicker and assert your control over it.
“You really have to have that mentality that you are in control. Otherwise, the boat will just throw you off. Literally.”
The past has taught valuable lessons, and the future represents endless opportunity. But when Scutt and Henken are on the water, the present is all that really matters.
“You learn to be aware of your surroundings and learn to look and see the wind on the water, and you’re only using the wind so you’re totally in the rhythm and at peace with where you are,” Scutt said. “I think that’s special. There aren’t a lot of opportunities or things you can do that bring you totally into one moment, and I think sailing allows you to forget about everything else and just focus on the present.”
Diane Selkirk was utterly enchanted by the remote island outpost of Saint Helena
But to sail the same actual route – matching latitude and longitude while comparing the sea conditions and the daily mileage of the HMS Endeavour with our Woods catamaran Ceilydh – was a first for us.
Cook’s log: “Wednesday, April 24th 1771. Gentle breezes, and Clear weather. Wind South-East by South to West-South-West; course North 46 degrees West; distance 98 miles; latitude 26 degrees 19 minutes South, longitude 350 degrees 42 minutes West.”
It’s always a delight when a passage that promises easy sailing lives up to expectation. After the challenge of the Indian Ocean, the mellow South Atlantic felt like a reward. But unlike the much heavier Endeavour, our 40ft catamaran averaged over 6 knots in winds that were 10-12 knots from astern. While he was making 100-mile days, we pulled ahead with 150-mile ones. It seemed the distraction of our cross-century race with Cook would be short lived.
When you are surrounded on all sides by water, it’s easy to lose track of the hours. Have we been out three or four days? When we changed time zones did the clock go forward or back? Passages that last more than four days become timeless. Days are divided into meals, watches, naps, sunset, moonrise and dawn. The rest of the world recedes; small things punctuate the days. The colour of the water for instance: close to the coast it was a nutrient-rich murky green. And it was chilly. We slept under fluffy blankets and drank litres of hot tea. Exiting the cold, north flowing Benguela Current, the water warmed; increasing from 12°C to 18°C over the distance of 100 miles and then it turned a brilliant tropical blue. But the sea birds were gone; there were no more albatross, kites or terns. We didn’t look out to see seals floating head down with their flippers warming in the sun. Visits by dolphins also dropped off, making the ocean seem vast, empty and endless.

“Friday, April 26th 1771. Fresh Gales, and a large Swell from the Southward. Wind South-South-West, South-East by South; course North 50 degrees West; distance 168 miles; latitude 21 degrees 40 minutes South, longitude 354 degrees 12 minutes West.”
The rocky coast of Saint Helena appears off the bow.
Almost on cue, our conditions changed to match Cook’s. The GRIBs showed a low in the Southern Ocean which was sending up a steep mixed swell. The wind soon followed. Now we were neck and neck in this odd competition; the Endeavour’s noon position almost matched our own. Two days before reaching Saint Helena, we both crossed the Prime Meridian. For Cook it meant he had, “Circumnavigated the Globe in a West direction.” For us it marked 30,000 miles of voyaging and a return to the western hemisphere, but we were still a long way from Vancouver, our home in Canada.
About 20 miles out, I sighted the volcanic bulk of Saint Helena. Charles Darwin wrote: “Saint Helena rises abruptly like a huge black castle from the ocean.” Closer to the coast, we spotted stone fortifications built into the cliff faces, reinforcing the impression that we had fallen through the centuries and were approaching a mid-ocean fortress.
“Wednesday, May 1st 1771. At 6 A.M. saw the Island of St. Helena bearing West, distant 8 or 9 Leagues. At Noon Anchor’d in the Road, before James’s Fort, in 24 fathoms water. Found riding here His Majesty’s Ship Portland and Swallow Sloop, and 12 Sail of Indiaman. At our first seeing the Fleet in this Road we took it for granted that it was a War; but in this we were soon agreeably deceived.”

I’ve sailed Northern Europe for about 25 years up to Shetland, Ireland, Holland, Germany and places in-between. But I had never done any long trips and I wondered how I would cope with an ocean passage.
I’d researched the boat and journey for many years but the actual logistics took about a year.
My Fisher 25 wasn’t really suitable due to lack of storage space and windward sailing ability, despite our many thousands of miles together.
I wanted a long keel with encapsulated ballast and a well-protected rudder hung on the back. I wasn’t keen on the Rustler type with the sloping rudder and I liked the Vancouver range from the same yard as my Fisher.
A quite rare Vancouver 34 Pilot came up in fantastic condition in Germany and I jumped on the first plane out. When I saw her I thought, ‘This is a boat that will take me places.’
Helena , the rare Vancouver 34 Pilot, in happier times
I set off from Tollesbury, Essex in May 2019 down the Channel and over to Ireland for a couple of months. This gave me and Helena the chance to become acquainted, sailing from Dublin to Dingle.
From Bantry Bay we set off for the first big leg into the Atlantic and south for the Rias of northern Spain, ending up in Vigo and clocking 700 miles.
We then skirted Portugal’s west coast and relaxed in the pleasant Algarve with New Year 2020 celebrated in Seville, Spain.
Mid-January had us on the 550-mile leg to the Canaries, stopping at Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria. With a suitable weather window we set off south and west for the 31-day, 3,000-mile crossing to Marigot Bay in St. Martin.
I felt pretty pleased to accomplish the Atlantic crossing.
When I left Las Palmas, COVID-19 had been mainly confined to China, but I arrived in the Caribbean to find a closed port and an island in lockdown.
It was a shock. I had no news on the trip as I only had short-range radio. It felt like I was in a sci-fi film as the last survivor.
My girlfriend Jo decided not to fly out. The airport was still open but she felt she would hamper my ability to respond to the ever-changing drama. I was only permitted ashore for essential supplies and I spent a month on Helena at anchor.
Sailing Helena in happier times
If you had to be locked down, Marigot Bay was certainly a nice place to be but hurricane season was approaching and I struggled to find reliable updates on the situation in hurricane-safe locations.
NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans have been left fuming after the season five trailer dropped earlier today, following the sexual assault allegations against Gary King.
The bosun first appeared on the Bravo spin-off series in the second season, which aired in 2021, and has remained part of the cast ever since , alongside Captain Glenn Shephard and chief stewardess Daisy Kelliher.
Last year, viewers were shocked after a crew member alleged that the 36-year-old tried to force himself on her behind the scenes – something he fiercely denied.
The accusations emerged after the fifth series had been filmed, with many questioning whether it would ever air due to the controversy.
The dramatic teaser was released today ahead of the release date on October 7, showing King and Kelliher at the forefront of the drama on board.
However, while it is not clear how much of a part he will play in the upcoming season, viewers were reeling over the decision and called Bravo out airing the episodes.
https://www.instagram.com/p/C__S1l5y19q/?hl=en
Flocking to the comments below the official Below Deck page, Bravo4therestofus posted: ‘Ummmm my understanding was that Gary was NOT coming back sooooooooo ?!!,!?! [sic].’
Glamisgrrrl agreed: ‘Right?! So gross they’re just letting him come back.’
‘How is Gary back??? And why? Ick,’ Arielle_Smith said.
Over on Reddit, NBCaz commented: ‘Can’t say I’m excited to see that Gary is still gonna be a part of this [sic].’
As Pinsleric added: ‘Not only is Gary not scrubbed, he’s featured in the trailer. I’m genuinely shocked.’
Last year, Samantha Suarez claimed that she met King while preparing for season four in Sardinia and had accompanied him back to his hotel in July 2022, after he had filmed interviews for the show.
The former crew member – who worked on the hair and makeup team, and would also assist the talent manager with tasks – alleged that he was drunk and behaving erratically while she attempted to keep him contained in his room.
She claimed to Rolling Stone that he suggested for her to join him in bed, and that he greeted her in his underwear when she later returned, before coming up behind her and grabbing her, pressing her against his body and refusing to let go.
Suarez said that she immediately informed bosses of the incident and had meetings with executive producers and the show’s talent manager, insisting that she didn’t feel comfortable working around King.
Others also claimed that he was seen grabbing a female staff member’s bum and continued to touch her inappropriately when she asked him to stop.
When one team member reported his behavior, they claimed that no one acknowledged it initially, before a producer eventually stepped in to ask him to stop.
Both Suarez and the crew member, who was vocal about what they witnessed, were reportedly not asked to return to the show, having worked on the franchise for some time – while King returned for the following season.
The allegations emerged in August and the reality star later denied them. He posted a message on Instagram in November, vowing: ‘It’s sad that people will do anything in their power to bring you down.
‘It’s not about how you fall but how you get up. Luckily for me the fall was into a sea of daisies.’
The post is currently still visible and includes some of the hashtags: ‘#iwascancelledbecauseofalie #anythingforaplatform #dontbelieveeverythingyousee #ivegotmyheadheldhigh #worldisanuglyplace #iwouldneverdothat #onwardsandupwards.’
At the time of the Rolling Stone article, a Bravo spokesperson told Metro.co.uk in a statement: ‘Bravo is committed to maintaining a safe and respectful workplace for cast and crew on our reality shows.
‘We require our third-party production companies to have appropriate workplace policies and trainings in place and a clear process on how to report concerns.
‘The concerns Ms Suarez raised in July 2022 were investigated at that time and action was taken based on the findings.’
A spokesperson for 51 Minds Entertainment, the company that produces Below Deck, added to the outlet: ‘51 Minds is committed to providing an environment in which every member of the casts and crews on our productions feel respected and, most importantly, safe.
‘51 Minds provides mandatory harassment and sensitivity training for every series it produces at the outset of each new season and lays out a clear process on how and to whom to report any questionable activity.
‘With any complaint filed, a timely investigation is launched and, based on the findings, appropriate actions are implemented to ensure the safety of our cast and crew, up to and including termination.
‘With regard to the incident reported by Ms Suarez involving Mr King, the case was investigated and reviewed as soon as it was submitted, and production acted accordingly based on the results.’
