# Below Deck Down Under

Below Deck Down Under is an American reality television series that premiered on Peacock on March 17, 2022. The show is the third spin-off of Below Deck, following Below Deck Mediterranean and Below Deck Sailing Yacht. Announced in February 2022, the series chronicles the lives of the crew members who work and reside aboard a 150-foot-plus superyacht during a six week charter season in Australia (seasons 1 and 2) and Africa (season 3). Aesha Scott, the chief stew featured in the first two seasons, previously appeared on Below Deck Mediterranean. Captain Jason Chambers made Australian headlines in 2019 after an accident where he crashed a superyacht into a wharf in Queensland. In May 2023, it was announced that the series would be permanently moving from Peacock to Bravo for its second season. The current third season began airing on February 3, 2025.
