Bravo’s reality TV armada, the ever-expanding Below Deck franchise, has plotted its course for 2025, promising another year of oceanic escapades, interpersonal squabbles, and questionable charter guest behavior. For devotees of high-seas hijinks, the network has arranged a veritable buffet of boat-based drama, ensuring “Below Deck Mondays” remain a year-round fixture.

Currently riding the waves is Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5, airing Mondays at 9/8c. With episodes continuing into the spring, viewers can anticipate further complicated relationships and onboard power struggles that have become hallmarks of the franchise. Recent episodes have already generated considerable chatter amongst fans.

Next on the horizon is Below Deck Down Under Season 3. Captain Jason Chambers will once again steer the ship, hopefully traversing the waters of Australian hospitality with his usual blend of firmness and compassion. While the exact premiere date is yet to be announced, it’s slated to dock immediately following the conclusion of Sailing Yacht.

As summer approaches, Below Deck Season 12 is expected to make landfall. This season sees the return of Captain Kerry Titheradge, whose laid-back leadership style provides a counterpoint to the sometimes chaotic energy of his crew. Also rejoining the fray is Chief Stew Fraser Olender, whose refined sensibilities and exacting standards are sure to be tested by demanding guests and green deckhands. Filming for this season wrapped last spring in St. Maarten, so expect turquoise waters and plenty of Caribbean-flavored conflict.

Finally, as the leaves begin to turn, Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10 is scheduled to set sail. Captain Sandy Yawn will once again command the Mediterranean seas, and rumors suggest the return of fan-favorite Aesha Scott as Chief Stew. This season, filmed last summer, is likely to deliver the usual mix of stunning European scenery, demanding charter guests, and the inevitable crew romances and rivalries. Its run will extend into early 2026, ensuring a smooth transition into the next cycle of Below Deck mayhem.

While there’s no official word yet on Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 6, don’t be surprised if Bravo has another voyage planned for 2026. After all, in the world of reality television, there’s always another wave to ride, another charter guest to appease, and another dramatic blowup just waiting to happen.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo. Below Deck Down Under, Below Deck, and Below Deck Mediterranean will premiere later in 2025.
