Below Deck Down Under is embarking on an exhilarating journey to uncharted territories.

In a thrilling preview for the upcoming third season of the Bravo series, Captain Jason Chambers and his crew are venturing into the stunning Seychelles, located off the coast of Eastern Africa, marking this as the show’s first expedition to this exotic locale.

The first glimpse of this season—unveiled on January 7—reveals that Jason has assembled a nearly entirely new team of skilled yachties, ready to tackle the surprises and challenges that lie ahead during this new charter adventure.

As Jason shares in the sneak peek, “In my 25 years of being a captain, I’ve learned that you can’t be in control of everything.” He emphasizes the importance of stepping out of our comfort zones, saying, “Sometimes we need to explore new depths and face the challenges in front of us.”

This season, the much-loved Chief Stew Aesha Scott makes way for the new Chief Stew Lara Rigby, who is known for her exceptionally high standards for her interior team.

With a clear vision for excellence, Jason states, “When the guests walk on here, I want them to have the best experience.” In response, Lara sets the bar high for her team, insisting, “The cabins have to be perfect: Iron the creases, polish the cutlery, no fingerprints on the tables, I want the glassware spotless. Remember, don’t pour too much. If it’s not great, do it again.”
