That is really interesting to hear and something that viewers never knew about. more
In the third season of the show, the yacht had a gym, and the crew got rid of it and used it as this production studio. There were 15 flat-screen televisions in there.
Other production costs are food, lodging, and travel for the crew, which is between 35 and 40 members. [links]
According to Cheat Sheet, before even getting into the cost of the yacht and other things, there is one big cost: a room in the yacht is a "floating production studio."
But besides that, Below Deck and Below Deck Med are very enjoyable, and fans are always curious to learn more. One big question is how much it costs to produce the show, since people say it's in the millions. Let's take a look at the $10 million production cost for Below Deck Med.
It appears that "Below Deck Mediterranean" has made quite the impact on Hannah Ferrier's bank account, in that her job on the mega-yacht paid well and her time on Bravo made her somewhat of an influencer. From just her job as chief stew alone, Crew Finders reports that she could have made an annual salary anywhere from $54,000 to $84,000, depending on the size of the yacht. That's not counting her tips, which, according to Decider, averages to about $12,790 per season. But most of Ferrier's money from the series came from her actual job, since production reportedly "only pa[id] the cast a small appearance fee," per Pootonopedia.
Hannah also revealed on "Watch What Happens Live" that she had met Josh after filming Season 4, while at a bar in Sydney. She gushed, "We kind of both flirted with each other, but I did let him know I just finished filming, so I was at 50 percent of my normal capability. So I'm surprised that alone didn't scare him off." Not only did Hannah not scare Josh off, but she made him a father. After sharing her pregnancy news in June 2020, Hannah told The Daily Dish, "He's over the moon. He's so excited." here
With all that said, various outlets report that Hannah has an estimated net worth of around $600,000, yet that number could be much higher depending on the success of her latest ventures, the Ocean International Training Academy and her "Dear Diary, You're Effed!" podcast. The former reality star also makes money through sponsored posts — for brands like for Natural Cycles and BondiBoost, to name just a couple — on her Instagram account, which boasts over 714,000 followers. As for other perks of the yachting job? Hannah tweeted in January 2021, "It's good pay. Chief stew is around €5000 per month with no expenses! So no rent or bills!"
As for Hannah, she opened up about the matter on the "Side Piece with Melissa Pfeister" podcast in 2021. Noting that "dragging people in press" isn't her "style," she claimed of the feud, "That was basically just like a situation with my friends, where I kind of called her out on, and I don't think she liked getting called out." more
While Hannah continued to speak out over the matter in the press, including an interview with Decider, she also revealed ahead of Season 5 that she was ready to leave the show anyway. "I think I'm probably done," she admitted to ET. Referring to the profession as "young people's game," Hannah added, "I don't want to get to the stage where I'm locked into yachting and there's nothing else in my life except that."
"It was really upsetting at the time, especially after being on the show for so many years, and knowing that it wasn't a hidden fact that I suffered from anxiety and had anti-anxiety medication," she explained to Peninsula Living Pittwater. Noting that she wasn't "trying to be sneaky," Hannah revealed that she took issue with the "stigma" now associated with her since her firing was due to prescription drugs: "Anxiety medication is for a mental illness, so it shouldn't be painted like, 'You're a drug addict smuggling drugs on board.'"
"Some of the yachts have changed ownership since the show, been renamed, or have undergone a refitting.
Sailors should expect to shell out six figures for time on one of the Below Deck vessels.
Most of the yachts are available to the public - but they will not come cheap.
The Ohana Yacht from season two, with a real name of Rhino, is a little cheaper at $140,000 per week. [links]
He also told the publication, "The editing is crazy," suggesting that his story might have been embellished, or certain details could have been left out. But as he hasn't watched any episodes as yet he claimed, "So I don't know what they have left in." However, despite apparently hating the medium on which he's now a star, Michalzik isn't afraid to connect with fans on social media, and has a very active, yet unverified as of this writing, Instagram account.

Alongside any salaries the crew members receive, which are likely to be in line with yachting industry standards, tipping is expected. Reporting on published rates for one of the vessels featured on Below Deck Mediterranean, Bustle claimed, "Since chartering the Ionian Princess starts at $167,000 per week, that means even for a one-week charter, the crew can expect to share another $8,350 to $25,050" in tip money. Not bad a week's work.
Ferrier also replied to a fan who suggested that the chef was a plant. She tweeted, "Not sure where you are getting your info from but it's not correct. There really isn't any way to know if someone is going to be homophobic in a normal job interview and her CV looked great. She's OBVIOUSLY not great but it wasn't set up like that." Bravo's senior vice president of current production confirmed the cast and crew's shock regarding the chef and told The Washington Post, "If you had seen the control room on the [production] boat when those nachos came out, you would see that [what happened] is equally surprising to us." more
Fans of the show will have noticed the camera operators breaking the fourth wall occasionally, when a staff member or guest is in trouble, for instance. But according to Ferrier, there have been plenty of times when members of the crew can't help but come into contact with production staff. As she told Forbes, "You find yourself almost hoping you don't have a sexual harassment claim from a camera guy. You're like, my butt is too big to squeeze by without touching him." Sounds as though there's a lot of action behind-the-scenes, which viewers don't get to see.
One of the absolute rays of sunshine on Below Deck Mediterranean has to be Colin Macy-O'Toole, whose rapping and general lovely behavior can even make João Franco act like a decent human being. But professional musician Macy-O'Toole apparently had his doubts about joining the show in the first place. Speaking with TV Series Hub, he discussed his first season on the show and said, "The first week I realized I didn't belong. I'm the only one that didn't work on a yacht before, but luckily my crew were great teachers and cared a lot and took time out of their day to teach me something new and made me feel really comfortable." But despite gradually getting used to living on a yacht, there was one thing that never improved: "MY BED. It was the size and comfortability of a coffee table," he quipped. [links]
