About PARSIFAL III

View all yachts for charter

As a charter guest you could begin your day with a sunrise yoga session on the large foredeck or have an early morning swim in the ocean before taking breakfast on the main deck aft. Here a large curved sofa and loose seating surround an oval dining table shaded by the overhang of the flybridge deck. After breakfast, some of the guests may choose to relax in the many lounging areas while others might want to take advantage of the calm waters and jump in to learn a new watersport. An extensive toybox has something for all ages to enjoy. However you choose to spend the morning, coming together for an al fresco lunch, perhaps prepared on the Teppanyaki grill, is the perfect opportunity to regroup and catch up with your friends and family.

Numerous entertainment options will keep the entire family entertained throughout the afternoon. Relax in the jacuzzi or on the sumptuous sunloungers, or enjoy some relaxation time in the main lounge, perhaps with a movie, all while PARSIFAL III sails on to your next port of call; if the winds are in your favour you could even be moving along under full sail at exhilarating speeds of up to 18 knots.

With the sun setting on the horizon, enjoy more time on deck taking in the view with a cocktail, followed by dinner either in the formal dining room or al fresco on the main deck aft. When it’s time to retire, PARSIFAL III's vast master suite is located aft and benefits from direct access to an extra-large swimming platform – perfect for a private early morning swim. Amidship there are two further doubles and two twins with additional pullman berths. As with all of the interior guest areas, the décor is streamlined and minimalistic, with polished dark ebony and wenge woods contrasting with fine furnishings of cream leather, glass and stainless steel. A stunning retreat, your guests will feel cosseted in luxury as they fall into a deep slumber ready for another day of fun.

This Is How Much It Costs To Charter The Boat From Below Deck Sailing Yacht

Spoiler: it's not cheap.

Below Deck is all about the drama a ship's crew experiences while catering to the wealthy, and its spinoff Below Deck Sailing Yacht — now in its second season — is no different. As you'd expect, the cost to charter Below Deck Sailing Yacht 's Parsifall III is extravagant, and guests can get pretty demanding about getting their money's worth.

Unsurprisingly, the cost of a week-long vacation on the Parsifall III is pretty far out of the average consumer's price point. According to Charter World, Parsifall III costs between €195,000 to €225,000 a week to rent, which equals about $234,864 to $270,997 a week. For this hefty sum, guests gets five cabins, a drinking saloon and dining area, a jacuzzi, a swimming landing pad, and more. The ship itself can hold up to 12 guests and nine crew members, and in Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2, it sails around Croatia.

As for the ship's specifications, the Parsifall III is a lavish 177-foot long sailing yacht made in 2005 by the renowned Italian shipyard Perini Navi, with French designer Remi Tessier designing the interior. As Adam Glick told E! New 's Pop of the Morning show in 2020, a large ship like Parsifall III can easily cost "30, 40, 50 million" to buy; the sails alone can cost $300,000 to replace.

Season 2 will likely explore the cost of repairing the ship, as a preview of Below Deck Sailing Yacht shows that the Parsifall III accidentally collides with a docking wall due to a "throttle malfunction," per E! News. "Hitting the dock like that can be a season-ending incident. It can be very serious," Captain Glenn Shepard said . He added that that's the first time he's ever crashed a boat, but it's "unfortunate that it happened" at all.

As for the yacht's name, it derives from the Arthurian knight Percival, who is most famous for being the hero who goes on a long-running journey for the Holy Grail — no doubt an analogy meant to make guests feel like traveling on Parsifall III will lead to the best experience money can buy.

"The [guest] requests get so bizarre," Glick told E! New s' Pop of the Morning. "For example, we might be brought a king-sized bag of Skittles and told that we're only allowed to put out the orange ones. So now you've got crew members wasting incredibly valuable time picking out orange Skittles." In Season 1, Chief Stewardess Jenna MacGillivray mentioned that some guests have even asked her to tuck them in.

" Below Deck makes great drama out of the nuances of the kind of 'interior' service labor often deemed too feminine (and boring) to anchor pop culture narratives: event planning, waitressing, laundering, and cooking," Pier Dominguez wrote for Buzzfeed. "In the age of millennial burnout — and especially for the channel’s younger-skewing audience — it’s easy to identify with performing work under constant pressure, hoping to reap rewards subject to the whims of the 1%."

This is most exemplified at the end of every Below Deck episode, when the crew gets together to assess performances and find out how much the guests tipped them. If they did well, the rewards can be tremendous: in Season 1, a satisfied customer tipped $20,000 to Captain Glenn Shepard and his crew.

PARSIFAL III Perini Navi | From EUR€ 195,000 /wk

Sailing yacht PARSIFAL III is a superb 54 meter Italian created Perini Navi luxury sailing boat which has won the 2006 International Superyacht Design Award. She is available for luxury charters in both the Caribbean & Mediterranean seas.

At 177’ in length, 35’ wide, and with a large above deck superstructure and flybridge S/Y Parsifal III provides the most discernable guests with ample light, interior and exterior space as well as privacy.

NOTABLE FEATURES for PARSIFAL III: Pedigree design with sleek lines and excellent performance capabilities ~ Vast exterior living ~ Chic interior decor ~ Beautifully appointed guest staterooms ~ On deck jacuzzi ~ Assortment of water toys ~ Crows nest for 2 ~ Hydraulic swim platform ~ Wifi

Parsifal III’s lovely aluminum hull, carbon fiber rig, and in furling boom create a powerful sailing performance and an enjoyable sailing experience. Parsifal III is thought to be one of Perini Navi’s quickest sailing yachts built so far with her finned bulb keel. Her dark hull creates a sticking image against the brilliant white of her superstructure.

Luxury sailing yacht Parsifal III also has a striking and upbeat interior as designed by the world famous Remi Tessier. Her magnificent interior design is highlighted with the blending of dark ebony woodwork, light sycamore wood, stainless steel, and fine leathers. She features exquisite design and craftsmanship which creates an ultra-modern and stylish yet warm, inviting and relaxed feeling, as made possible with the intelligent use of natural and restful textures.

The large sailing yacht features a plunge pool, an array of sunning and excellent entertainment areas, a Japanese Teppanyaki style Barbeque, and modular type seating in her saloon. Parsifal III is one of the most sought after sailing yachts on the charter market due to not only her size and grace but also her vast array of practical features.

PARSIFAL III Specifications

Named after an Arthurian knight, Parsifal III is the result of a modern-day 6-year quest by two sailing veterans. Their Holy Grail was a luxurious super-yacht that epitomized the best design, was perfect in all aspects of its build and provided performance under sail that could rival any yacht of her type. They found fellow shining knights in the Italian yacht builder Perini Navi naval architect designer Ron Holland.

And the result, according to a review in ‘Boat International’, are all the hallmarks of a Perini Navi: “…a classically proportioned ketch whose powerful hull displays a seamanlike bow and a long, elegantly curved sheer line that runs aft over a pleasingly proportioned freeboard to a half-moon of the forward-raked transom. The stylishly rounded deckhouse is topped by a flying bridge that extends aft to a long sundeck providing shade for the guest cockpit below.” Furthermore, notes Boat International, “performance is a notch higher than any of the company’s previous vessels”.

Yacht Charter Accommodation

Luxury sailing yacht Parsifal III provides accommodation for up to a maximum of 12 charter guests in five or six luxurious staterooms. The yacht’s main owner's suite features its own saloon which can be divided into two independent double rooms, if need be. She also offers two permanent double rooms and two further twin Staterooms. All of the cabins provide full en suite bathroom facilities. She has a separate crew accommodation for 9.

About below deck sailing yacht.

Capt. Glenn and his comeback team Daisy Kelliher, Gary King and Colin MacRae resume their responsibilities aboard Parsifal III, along with new, dynamic crew members, as they set sail in Sardinia, Italy.  

Capt. Glenn realizes that his laid-back leadership style has allowed his crew to become too comfortable and starts taking charge of quality control in the interior department, much to Daisy's dismay. In the galley, Chef Ilesha's cooking impresses the guests, but her indecisiveness and co-dependency lead to time-management issues between courses, which causes her to self-destruct. On deck, strong personalities collide, and a power struggle results in a near mutiny, as Gary clashes with his new overconfident deckhand, Chase. 

Two overlapping love triangles further complicate the dynamics on-board, and a shocking hookup puts Colin, Daisy and Gary’s friendship in jeopardy. 

With a near collision, fire, crew rebellion, gruesome guest injury and two different potentially season-ending engine failures, this is the most captivating and unpredictable season yet of Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

Inside the Parsifal III

The luxury yacht gained worldwide prominence after featuring in 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht'. Built in 2005 by Italian shipyard Perini Navi, Parsifal III is a 54-meter tall yacht with 460 GT tonnage. She was refitted in 2012 by interior designer Remi Tessier and Perini Navi styled the exterior. Parsifal III sails at the top speed of 16kn with a maximum cruising range of 3400 nm at 13 kn, powered by a diesel engine. Aboard the yacht, there is space for 12 guests in five rooms, including a master suite, two double cabins, two twin cabins, and two pullman beds. Aside from the guests, the yacht can accommodate up to nine crew members, reveals Boat International.

In 2006, Parsifal III was awarded 'Sailing Yacht of the Year' at the World Superyacht Awards. It also won the Best Interior Design — Sail Yacht award and the Sailing Yacht Interior at the Showboats Awards. 

According to Charter World , it costs anywhere between $212,859 to $245,606 to rent Parsifal III for a week-long vacation across the sea. It can be well-assumed that the holidaying at the luxury yacht is beyond the average consumer's price range, says Bustle .

Who owns Parsifal III?

Parsifal III is presently owned by Danish entrepreneur Kim Vibe-Petersen. The 65-year-old businessman and inventor calls the luxury yacht a "game-changer".

Vibe-Petersen is the CEO of the firm Scanomat which designs automatic coffee brewers and coffee machines. In 1981, he designed the world's first fully automated cappuccino machine, which was launched in 1985. The company Scanomat is especially known worldwide for its flagship product, the TopBrewer. The company was started over 50 years ago in the early 1960s in Denmark. It is now based out of Kokkedal, Denmark. 

CEO Vibe-Petersen is a remarkable man. He did not have a conventional school education because it reportedly bored him. He started working at his parents' vending machine business at the age of 14. Later, he started his own business by innovating cutting-edge products. The first revolutionary success in his business came after the world's first automated cappuccino machine was launched.

"I’m only interested in doing something that no one else has done. I’ve always wanted to do things differently. I’m interested in new things, in developing this world, and hopefully doing things better and more easily than they were done before," he told Boat International .

Vibe-Petersen and his wife Nina owned and chartered out two other Parsifal yachts before — the Unplugged and Ree. The couple stays in a 300-year-old vintage house in Kokkedal, Denmark, near the headquarters of Scanomat. They are proud parents to two sons, Sebastian and Frederik, both of whom are working for their family company.  

'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 2 premieres on Bravo on Monday, March 1, 2021, at 9/8c.

• Gary King denies sexual allegations, but Bravo continues to feature him on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5.
• Despite disturbing behavior, Gary remains a fixture on the show, interacting with women inappropriately.
• Gary faces allegations, but displays no remorse on social media, insisting his behavior is appropriate.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht First Officer Gary King has been adamant that the sexual allegation rumors surrounding him are false, but after a year of denial, he needs to be humbled and stand down . Gary, who’s been working aboard Parsifal III since Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 2, has been struggling personally in the last year after some serious allegations were lodged at him by a Below Deck franchise makeup artist. With claims that Gary was sexually inappropriate and aggressive during their time together, many have hoped that Gary would be removed from the franchise entirely due to his actions.

Rather than shutting Gary down, Bravo appears to be trying to run out the allegations and will be continuing with the First Officer appearing on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 . After filming the show over a year ago, the network is finally releasing the next season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, which will likely feature Gary in the same capacity he’s been shown in the past. A fixture on the series, Gary has played a huge role in the show in other seasons, meaning it’s likely he’ll be heavily featured in the next season, despite his alleged inappropriate behavior .

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

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.

Gary’s Assault Allegations Were Overlooked

The network took minimal action.

Although Gary has been a major part of Below Deck Sailing Yacht in the past, his behavior on the series wasn’t traditional. An archetypal playboy, Gary has always been involved with women in some capacity . Whether he’s simply flirting with women on the crew and charter guests, or connecting with them on crew nights out, Gary’s always drawn in the attention of women with his loud, flirty nature. At times, his perusal has felt uncomfortable, which made the allegations against him believable. Bravo has chosen to overlook the allegations, keeping Gary on the show and staying quiet about the allegations.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 Will Feature Gary

He’s still on the show.

With Gary having been cut from the BravoCon lineup in 2023, many were wondering if his behavior would catch up to him and get him fired from Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5. Unfortunately, Gary quickly returned to the series and filmed the upcoming season with the rest of the cast amidst a vortex of rumors flying around about his behavior. Even with the allegations out and giving viewers pause about the series, B elow Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 continued with Gary in a position of power . Emboldening Gary, his lack of removal from the series has made him unbearable.

Gary’s Been Outspoken & Without Remorse On Social Media

He’s continued to deny the allegations.

Although Gary has to continue living his life after the allegations, his behavior on social media has made it clear that he doesn’t have any remorse , and is continuing to deny everything entirely. Even if the allegations are false, the way Gary has continuously behaved on social media has lacked empathy or awareness. Rather than standing down and defending himself without making himself sound like a victim, Gary has been outspoken about his behavior being appropriate. The Below Deck Sailing Yacht star could be sensitive and stand down, humbling himself rather than trying to reassure everyone he’s not a threat.

‘Below Deck’ Accused of Covering Up Gary King’s Sexual Misconduct

By Krystie Lee Yandoli

Krystie Lee Yandoli

Bravo ’s Below Deck was recently lauded for its handling of sexual misconduct when a producer on Below Deck Down Under broke the “fourth wall” and intervened when one cast member, Luke Jones, tried to get into bed naked with another cast member, Margot Sisson, without her consent while she was inebriated and passed out. Not only was Luke fired from the show, but their fellow cast member and stewardess, Laura Bileskalne, was also let go because of victim-blaming comments she made to Margot about the incident and her own line-crossing pursuit of deckhand Adam Kodra.

While viewers and fans of the show applauded the pivotal on-screen moment, production crew members who have worked on the popular, Emmy-nominated franchise say they’ve experienced and witnessed sexual harassment and misconduct from other cast members behind the scenes without seeing any real accountability.

Suarez says she met King for the first time when the cast and crew arrived in Sardinia in preparation to film the fourth season. Crew members stayed in the same hotel, the DoubleTree by Hilton Olbia-Sardinia, for the whole duration of filming. Cast members joined them and stayed in the same hotel prior to filming charters on the yacht  and on the few “dark days” during the season when no one in production or the cast worked.

One “dark day” in July when the cast members were staying at the hotel, Suarez accompanied an inebriated King back to his hotel room after he filmed his interviews for the show, where she says producers provided him with a substantial amount of alcohol.

“There is no limit to alcohol consumption whatsoever, which I think poses a really big problem,” she says.

Bravo is in the midst of an unresolvable conflict crisis, the 6 best carry-on suitcases we're toting right now.

Suarez says when King asked her not to leave she joked with him that she would sit outside of his door to make sure he wouldn’t leave his hotel room. According to Suarez, King then suggested she get in bed with him and repeatedly asked her not to leave his room even though she says he was aware that she was in a relationship with someone else. After a few minutes, she insisted she had to leave and help other cast members, telling King she would return later to drop off snacks and water. She says when she went back to King’s room with a case of water bottles and a bag of snacks, she knocked on the door and King answered the door in his underwear. She says she asked King to take the case of water out of her hands and he continued to ask her not to leave his hotel room.

“I was like, ‘I have to go — I need to go bring other people water and food,’ and he’s like, ‘No, no, please,’” Suarez says. “So I stepped into the room to set the case of waters down and again, he’s repeating, ‘Don’t leave,’ and I was like, ‘I have to go, I’m not staying.’”

“At that point, I didn’t know what was going to happen. I was freaking out,” Suarez says. “It just happened so fast.”

In that same moment, Suarez says she received a phone call from the talent manager and answered it. She says that’s when King let go of the door and she stepped into the hallway to take the call.

“I’m freaking out, and he goes, ‘What’s wrong? What’s going on?’ And I’m like, ‘Just leave me alone.’ He tried to come up behind me and put his arm around me. He’s in the hallway in his underwear and it’s all weird and fucked up, and so I’m just like, ‘Just go back in your room and don’t come out.’”

“I’m freaking out, and he goes, ‘What’s wrong? What’s going on?’ And I’m like, ‘Just leave me alone.’“

Suarez says she immediately told producers what happened following the incident when she saw them in the production office. The next day, she says a co-executive producer reached out to her and they had a conversation about what happened. After Suarez spoke with the co-executive producer she says she had another meeting with him, executive producers Courtland Cox and Vivian Choi, as well as the show’s talent manager. She says she told the producers she didn’t feel comfortable being around King, she didn’t want to do his hair or makeup, and she didn’t want to be alone with him or in the same room as him. She says Cox apologized to her and said the producers would have a conversation with King, assuring Suarez that King would be fired from the show if any other incidents occurred. She says the next day producers removed King from the hotel where the rest of the cast and crew members were staying and for the rest of the “dark days” during filming, he was instructed to sleep on the boat.

“It pretty much sucked from there on out,” Suarez says. “I was just in a super depressive state.”

King declined to comment for this story. A spokesperson for Bravo told Rolling Stone 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.”

“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.”

According to Saurez, she stayed inside her hotel room for a week following the incident with King and didn’t immediately return to work because she says she was upset, depressed, and her mental health declined; she says she even debated going home and not finishing out the rest of the season.

At the time, Suarez also reached out to Zach Klein, the COO of 51 Minds Entertainment, to report the incident. In emails reviewed by Rolling Stone , Suarez detailed the incident to Klein and wrote: 

“[King] comes up behind me, puts his arms around me, holds me against his body, physically restraining me from leaving, and says stuff like no don’t go. I get out of his grip, tell him again that I have to leave, that I am not staying, and I go reach for the door knob and he comes over and puts both his hands on the door, with his whole weight, to push it shut. This whole time he’s laughing. I ask him to please let me out of the room, that I have to go. I then get a phone call from [the talent manager]. He sees and hears that I answer and he finally moves away from the door, allowing me to open it. I step outside, not even able to listen to what [the talent manager] is saying to me because I’m so overwhelmed at that point, and Gary grabs his room key, comes out of his room, again, is only in his underwear, letting the door close behind him.”

After emailing Klein, emails reviewed by Rolling Stone confirm that an HR representative for Banijay America, the parent company of 51 Minds, reached out to Suarez and asked her to have a conversation. Suarez says she spoke to the HR representative who then arranged for her to speak with a counselor. Suarez says the HR representative stayed in touch with her for the remainder of the season and told her the company was conducting an investigation into the incident; at one point, Suarez says the representative told her she spoke to other crew members and to King about what allegedly happened.

Later in the season, Suarez says the HR representative also asked her not to talk about the incident with other production staffers because “it was becoming water cooler talk” on set and it seemed like Suarez was “trying to rally the troops” against the show. Saurez says she wasn’t even alongside her fellow crew members in the week following the incident but because of her absence, people reached out to her and asked her why she wasn’t on set. Suarez says she told the HR representative that she explained what happened to the people who reached out to her and asked for clarification about whether or not she was “allowed” to talk about the incident with her colleagues. Suarez says the rep told her yes, she was allowed to, but discouraged her from doing it.

In later conversations, Suarez says she expressed to executive producers that she was upset about how the situation was addressed. She says executive producers responded by saying they originally offered to fire King from the show when the alleged incident happened. Suarez says she wanted leadership to make that decision based on the information they had and not put the responsibility on her to say whether or not she wanted King fired, especially since she didn’t actually have the power to enforce that decision. After the incident, Suarez says she only saw King in passing a couple of times around the hotel but that they never directly interacted or communicated.

“He’s next-level scary with women,” they say. 

Three other people who did not work for 51 Minds Entertainment, NBC, or Below Deck spoke to Rolling Stone and say that Suarez told them about the alleged incident with King at the time.

Another crew member who requested anonymity out of fear of repercussions tells Rolling Stone later in this same season, they witnessed King grab a female cast member’s butt and continue to touch her inappropriately even though she said, “No,” and told him to stop. While filming at a beach club in Sardinia, the crew member says King was inebriated and they also witnessed King grab another production crew member’s genitals. During off days in between charters, Below Deck typically films cast members partying on and off the boat in their free time. It’s common to see cast members drunk and engage in sexual activity with one another on camera. 

The crew member says they reported the issue on their walkie talkie, which they use to communicate with the executive producer, director, and other people working in the control room. According to production crew members, there’s a control room set up in one of the guest rooms on the boat where producers monitor live footage. When they’re filming on location off the boat, they set up an area nearby that acts as a control room.

“The girl was literally saying, ‘No, stop, don’t,’” the crew member says. “I’m explaining this over my walkie and no one’s acknowledging it.”

“The girl was literally saying, ‘No, stop, don’t.’ I’m explaining this over my walkie and no one’s acknowledging it.“

They say a producer eventually approached King and told him to stop. After the producer spoke to him, the crew member says King walked over to a camera operator who was on a break and grabbed his genitals. 

The crew member says these incidents were filmed but didn’t air on television. They say they’re not sure what happened to the footage of King’s alleged behavior or other footage that the production company doesn’t end up using for TV. Typically, the crew member says, producers and editors have access to raw footage filmed in the field at least until the editing stage.

“I had to promote and make this guy who just assaulted someone look awesome,” they say. “That was my job, to make this person look cool, capable, and exciting.” 

The production crew member says after they were vocal about witnessing King’s alleged harassment on set throughout filming, they were not asked to return to the show after working for different iterations of the Below Deck franchise for years. Suarez also says she thinks she was retaliated against for reporting King’s behavior to the production company and that’s why she wasn’t asked to return to the show. Suarez says while King got to stay on Below Deck without consequences, she lost the opportunity to work after reporting the alleged misconduct. For Suarez, there wasn’t enough done to remove King from the show or hold him accountable after he allegedly exhibited inappropriate behavior toward her and other women.

“You’re an executive producer on the show and you’re not even worried that your cast member put his hands on me and is being a creep currently while being on TV?” Suarez says. “Somebody shouldn’t be able to keep a platform for being a gross creep.”

Productions’ handling of the incident with King exhibited a pattern to Suarez who says she told a producer about a separate incident that allegedly occurred when she filmed Below Deck Season 10. She says she was put in charge of accompanying the male cast members from a car to their hotel and bosun Ross McHarg made her feel uncomfortable.

“He was just making these weird, lewd, sexual, gross comments toward me to the point where the other boys in the car were like, ‘Shut up Ross, why are you saying these things to her?’” Suarez says. “There was stuff like that that I expressed to production as well and, you know, nothing happened thereafter.” (McHarg did not respond to requests for comment.)

According to Suarez and three other staffers who worked in production for Below Deck , someone from HR delivers a sexual harassment and cultural sensitivity training before each season. Producers also allegedly tell staffers if something goes awry during filming to communicate it on their walkie talkies and someone in the control room will respond. At the beginning of the season, crew members say they’re also explicitly told not to break the “fourth wall” and interact with cast members under any circumstances.

“For a show like this where there is alcohol and sex involved, I think there should be an intimacy coordinator-type position on these shows or something like that,” one crew member says. “There should be some accountability and some standardization practice where it’s not just up to some dude [in the control room] who has been producing television for 20 years.”

Inspired by the SAG strike, former Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel has been vocal about what she calls the mistreatment of reality stars by networks and her desire for talent to unionize for better protections. Earlier in August, lawyers on behalf of a handful of unnamed reality stars sent a letter to NBCUniversal accusing the company of manipulation, covering up instances of sexual violence, and other claims regarding their reality shows. The purpose of the letter was to ask NBCUniversal to hold possible evidence ahead of litigation.

Suarez also thinks there should be protocols for crew members to follow when they witness or experience sexual harassment or misconduct from a cast member or anyone else on set.

“Why can’t you just get on TV and be like, ‘Gary had to be removed from the show for his misconduct?’ If anything, that would make me respect the producers and the show and everything a lot more if they were just honest instead of trying to sweep things under the rug, which is what feels like happened.”

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Should Be On Damage Control (Did Gary King Ruin The Show's Reputation?)

• Gary King's sexual misconduct scandal risks the future of Below Deck Sailing Yacht.
• Producers failed to address the controversy, leading to potential show cancelation.
• To avoid cancellation, the show may need a revamp without Gary as a featured cast member.

Gary King is one of the most prominent cast members from Below Deck Sailing Yacht , but last season's scandal might have put the hit Bravo spin-off in danger. Captain Glenn Shephard leads the crew aboard the Parsifal III, and many popular faces such as Chief Stew, Daisy Kelliher, and Colin Macrae have appeared in the series. However, Gary's love triangle with Daisy and Colin is the least of his worries, given the handling of his sexual misconduct scandal.

The sexual misconduct accusations against Gary stem from an incident reported by Samantha Suarez, a makeup artist who worked on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4. According to Samantha, the incident occurred in the summer of 2022 during filming. Allegedly, Samantha escorted a heavily intoxicated Gary back to his hotel room following a confessional interview when he began behaving erratically. Samantha claimed that Gary prevented her from leaving, grabbing her from behind, which left her feeling threatened. Production should be nervous ahead of Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 .

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

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.

Producers Should Have Spoken Out After Gary King Scandal

Their statement wasn't enough.

Producers should have spoken out after Gary's scandal with Samantha , but they didn't, adding to the controversy. While it's true that Bravo and the production team behind Below Deck issued a statement addressing the allegations , claiming that they take workplace safety seriously and that the concerns raised by Samantha were investigated, it was too little, too late.

The network failed to hold Gary accountable, especially since he was allegedly allowed to return for Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5, which has yet to air. The backlash against Gary has likely contributed to the slow rollout of the season , adding to the prospect of cancelation. A halfhearted statement from Bravo simply wasn't enough.

Due to of production's lack of action, the controversy surrounding Gary has put Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 in danger. Although the season was filmed, its release has been delayed, and there is speculation that it may be heavily edited to minimize Gary's presence. It's possible the entire season could get scrapped if Gary can't be edited out effectively.

Bravo Never Really Addressed The Gary Scandal

They swept it under the rug.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht producers never really addressed the Gary scandal, hoping that sweeping the accusations under the rug would make the problem go away. However, they didn't do enough damage control. Bravo producers disinvited Gary from BravoCon, adding to the probability of editing him out of Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 or scrapping the season entirely.

The best thing Bravo can do now is fire Gary from the Below Deck franchise and hope to save Below Deck Sailing Yacht without him.

Gary’s future within the Below Deck franchise appears unlikely. The backlash against him has been intense, and while he has had some support from fellow cast member Daisy, it seems unlikely that he will be able to recover his reputation. His removal from BravoCon is proof that the network is distancing itself from him, but it might not be enough to save the spin-off.

This scandal has highlighted the responsibility of reality TV productions in handling misconduct. The show's production team intervened during Below Deck Down Under season 2 when a similar situation occurred, resulting in the firing of Bosun Luke Jones. Netflix's Love Is Blind 's production team has also faced accusations about the mishandling of sexual harassment, including Renee Poche's disastrous engagement to Carter Wall and Tran Dang's lawsuit.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Should Undergo a Revamp To Avoid Getting Canceled

Season 5 needs to be scrapped.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht needs a revamp if the network doesn't want the show to get canceled. If it's true that the season was filmed, production would be better off scrapping the season and starting new without Gary. While that's undoubtedly a huge loss for the network, Gary shouldn't be a featured cast member anymore . His sexual misconduct was inexcusable, and he's had issues in the past with professionalism, harassment, and alcohol abuse. Gary has been given too many chances.

If the network is unwilling to scrap Below Deck Sailing Yach t season 5 and start over, it might be time to scrap the spin-off. Below Deck , Below Deck Mediterranean , and Below Deck Down Under are already incredibly successful, and a popular cast member like Daisy could find a home in one of the other franchises. If Bravo had come out ahead of Gary's scandal, production could have saved the Parsifal III and Captain Glenn. However, they didn't do enough to mitigate it, leading to a possible cancellation. Gary is certainly to blame.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht is available to stream on Peacock.

As a spin-off from the popular series Below Deck, Below Deck Sailing Yacht follows the lives of the crew on board a luxury charter yacht as they embark on an eight-week charter season.

Yacht owner Vibe-Petersen was originally approached about the show in 2018 when it appeared the 54m (177ft) Perini Navi sailing yacht was the perfect match for the proposed spin-off to the popular sister show Below Deck. 

Hitting the waters for the first time in 2005, 'Parsifal III' has enjoyed multiple award wins in her time, winning Best Interior Design and Sailing Yacht Of The Year at the World Yacht Trophies in 2006.

When asked about changing the name of the yacht for the show, Vibe-Petersen stood his ground saying 'it's free advertising'. He continued by saying 'the name of the yacht will come to people’s minds, especially to someone who has never chartered a yacht before. They will see that name and know the boat from the show.' 

New faces of season two

Familiar face Captain Glenn Shephard returns to the helm for season two, but with a brand new crew joining him.

Saying he's 'looking forward to a great season', Shephard is going to be joined by chef Natasha De Bourg, chief stew Daisy Kelliher, chief engineer Colin Macrae, first mate Gary King, second stew Dani Soares, third stew Alli Dore, deckhand Sydney Zaruba, and deckhand Jean-Luc Cerza Lanaux.

Suggesting a few fireworks not necessarily in the sky, Bravo indicate an exciting season where social distancing means the crew spend a lot more time in close proximity together. 

A quick preview of the season trailer also reveals that Captain Glenn Shephard is seen at his angriest so far. Viewers will find out what triggers the fury when the season goes live in March.

Onboard Parsifal III

Striking to say the least, the latest addition to Below Deck yachts Parsifal III launched as one of the fastest Perini Navi models of her time and won multiple awards.

Boasting a maximum speed of 18 knots, she underwent a refit in 2012 and showcases timeless interiors by designer Remi Tessier.

Featuring an aluminium hull and superstructure, she is a fast and lightweight sailing yacht with accommodation for up to 14 guests in a six-cabin layout. Cabins on board comprise of an Owner's cabin, three doubles and two twins, plus berths for up to nine crew.

Some of her key features include an on-deck Jacuzzi, spacious sun pads and an exterior wet bar.

Sailing Croatia

Tucked away as a hidden gem behind Italy, Croatia is a Mediterranean destination with boundless amounts of history, culture and beauty on offer.

Featuring hundreds of unspoilt islands in the Adriatic, it's easy to find your own piece of paradise for the day while enjoying the charter experience. Island hopping along the Dalmation Coast there's UNESCO sites to see at Dubrovnik and plenty of familiar backdrops from the popular TV show Game Of Thrones.
