See full version: Below Deck Yachts Are at Least $475 Million Cheaper Than Jeff Bezos; Monster Sailing Superyacht
Parsifal III is only a fraction of the price and size of Bezos’ sailing yacht. At about 177 feet, Parsifal III was offered at close to $25 million when it was last for sale in 2005. Like Bezos’ yacht Parsifal III has three large masts, which viewers see being launched every Monday night. more
The BBC reports that the support yacht will essentially act as the sailing yacht’s garage. “The smaller yacht is also expected to be loaded with other goodies, such as cars, luxury speedboats, and probably even a submarine, experts say.” Traveling aboard Bezos’ yacht would be like sailing on more than double the size of Parsifal III, featured on Below Deck Sailing Yacht. Plus, Bezos’ sailing yacht is 20 times more expensive.
Also, 161-foot Eros (Mustang Sally) from Below Deck Season 3 experienced a price drop when it went up for sale. The original price was $18.45 million and it dropped down to $17.9 million.
“They ripped out the gym on the boat and made that their control center,” he told Showbiz Cheat Sheet. “So, you have the electric guy, you know, probably the internet guy that they have to rip out the gym equipment and put in like 15 flat-screen TVs so they can watch us do whatever.” [links]
Below Deck season 9 filmed once again in the Caribbean, specifically St. Kitts. It starts out differently, however. In a promotional trailer from Bravo, Rosbach reveals he has to attend to personal matters on land. Therefore, Capt. Sean Meagher steps in temporarily for him. Meagher has a long career in yachting, probably best known for helming the famed Latitude within the past decade. During his time aboard, Latitude traversed the Northwest Passage—twice—with her owner and guests. In addition, he led Latitude on a circumnavigation of Svalbard, coming within 400 miles of the North Pole. Meagher shared his enthusiasm for creating the perfect customer journey in a Megayacht News Radio podcast last year, too. here
Since it first aired in 2013, Below Deck has followed the lives of crewmembers as they perform their daily duties aboard charter yachts. Simultaneously, it has chronicled the highs and lows of their relationships with one another behind the scenes—below deck, as it were. Though crewmembers have changed from season to season, Capt. Lee Rosbach has taken the helm of each of the yachts over the past eight years. Below Deck has filmed each of these years in the Caribbean, too, with one exception. Season 6, which aired in 2018, filmed in Tahiti. more
Though Below Deck elicits eye rolls from those who aren’t fans of reality TV, it has spawned similar series. Currently, Below Deck Mediterranean is airing season 6 in the United States. Below Deck Sailing Yacht just completed its second season. Additionally, earlier this spring, Bravo confirmed it has Below Deck Adventure and Below Deck Down Under in development. The former should premiere early next year, filming in Norway. And, as the show name implies, guests pursue exciting, even thrill-seeking, activities. The Down Under program, meanwhile, will take place in Australia, with scuba diving trips among the guest activities. here
The most-watched franchise on the Bravo television network returns for another season this fall. Not only that, but Below Deck season 9 brings back a familiar yacht, but with a different captain, at least for some episodes.
Below Deck season 9 premieres on October 25 in the United States. My Seanna, meanwhile, recently changed owners. [links]

In a sense, My Seanna may be like going home again for Rosbach, too. Rosbach took her helm in Tahiti for season 6, which aired in 2018. Just like then, the 185-foot (56.39-meter) megayacht appears in the show under her own name. Several of the megayachts of Below Deck use made-for-TV names. here
While Below Deck has filmed numerous episodes in those warm waters, the region hasn’t been the focus since season 5. (Note that Below Deck season 8 filmed prior to the pandemic declaration. At least one episode, though, does feature discussion of the-then rising cases.) As Rosbach says in the trailer currently airing, “It’s been years since I’ve been in the Caribbean, and I’ve missed the hell out of it. White sandy beaches, crystal-blue water. It’s like putting on your favorite pair of blue jeans. It’s like going home again.” more
As for My Seanna, the yacht saw delivery 20 years ago from Delta Marine, as Gallant Lady. At the time, she was 160 feet (48.8 meters), but a refit in 2014 brought her to her current length. It further added a VIP suite to the bridge deck, the sixth overall stateroom onboard. Since watertoys are a big part of the cruising and charter lifestyle, she has a wide assortment. For instance, the yacht carries a towable banana boat, several kayaks, a water trampoline, an inflatable waterslide, wateskis, and of course PWCs, among other items. here
Seven years after it first aired, the TV series Below Deck continues to attract audiences, enough that producers keep renewing it. Below Deck Season 8, set to premiere in a few short weeks, sees the return of not just Capt. Lee Rosbach, but also the megayacht My Seanna as well as charters in the Caribbean.
Below Deck Season 8 begins airing on November 2 for your voyeuristic guilty pleasure on Bravo. My Seanna continues to offer charters this winter starting at $294,000 per week. [links]
