Fun charter guests are one of the biggest highlights of the Below Deck franchise, and there are a few that fans would love to see back on the show. Many times, guests that charter the Below Deck yachts can be demanding - but with good reason. They’re paying tens of thousands of dollars for top service and Michelin-quality gourmet meals. Sometimes the guests can go overboard with their requests and work the crew until they’re exhausted, but as long as they leave a hefty tip at the end, the Below Deck cast is happy.
Sometimes, the Below Deck crew sees a familiar face, such as The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Cynthia Bailey. She charted Eros on Below Deck season 3, along with her friends and family. The Below Deck cast expected her to act like a diva, but the RHOA star and her group were low-maintenance and treated the staff respectfully. Even when they were docked because of bad weather, they were happy to just hang out on the boat.
Another celebrity to surprise the guests was famed baseball player Johnny Damon, who charted The Wellington on Below Deck Mediterranean. Although Johnny was picky about his food, he was never obnoxious about it, even when he sent back a plate of scallops for being cold. His wife and her friend brought the drama when they had a fight over Spanx, but they resolved it and never let it interfere with the staff. Johnny and his family were also very generous tippers, so the Below Deck crew didn’t mind the extra work. There are other Below Deck charter guests that fans love.
Roy Orbison Jr.
Roy Orbison Jr. brought his family not once, but twice on Below Deck Mediterranean. His first charter was pretty “chill,” according to Bosun Malia White, but the second time around was a bit chaotic. Roy was ready to party as soon as he set foot on Lady Michelle. He became so inebriated that he kept slurring his words and missed the mark when he used the bathroom. Still, Roy’s fun, boisterous nature was endearing to Below Deck fans, and he left the crew with a whopping $25,800 tip.
Master Pearson
Pearson Jasuwan is the adorable young son of charter guests Torrie and Albert Jasuwan. When the Below Deck crew heard that there were going to be young kids on board, they got a bit nervous. However, as soon as they met Pearson and his older sister Tiernan, they breathed a sigh of relief when they realized how well-behaved they were. Master Pearson and Lady Tiernan had all their needs tended to, but they were low-maintenance and ate what the other adults were served. The only hiccup was when Pearson cut his foot on some broken glass and complained, “I’m bweeding.”
Alexis Bellino
Another Real Housewife to make an appearance in Below Deck was Alexis Bellino. The former The Real Housewives of Orange County star charted My Seanna in Below Deck season 7. Unlike Cynthia, Alexis proved to be a handful, and had the stews running around catering to her. She also grossed out the crew by constantly making out with her then-boyfriend Andy Bohn. Alexis also couldn't stop talking about how the charter was her “divorce celebration.” Despite her flighty ways, Alexis made for good television and viewers would welcome her back on Below Deck.
