A new season of Below Deck has set sail on our screens.

The reality show has been running for over a decade, chronicling the high pressure, high stakes world of super yachts.

Captain Kerry is the man at the helm of this season’s superyacht, sailing the St David in Below Deck Adventure.

Though many reality TV shows are hammed up for entertainment, Kerry told Jack Tame that on Below Deck, it’s all “fair dinkum”.

He says that everything is real, it’s just a much more intense environment than a regular yacht season.

“A season would be three or four months, we’re doing it in six weeks,” Kerry revealed.

“Where a lot of the stress comes into the job is turning the boat over – so when the guests leave, turning it over, getting it ready for the next trip, that’s so much pressure.”

When Kerry runs a yacht off TV, he says he’ll give it three or four days between charters, and each charter is about a week, but on the show, they’re doing nearly three charters a week.

“Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, for six weeks.”
