Fraser Olender’s Boatmance with Charter Guest Steven Raucci
On the final night of their charter (and after a Christmas-themed soirée), the guests requested a New Year’s Eve party. Ahead of the last dinner, the guests chatted about Fraser and Steven’s connection.
One of the guests suggested that the two share “at least a New Year’s kiss,” and stew Barbara “Barbie” Pascual overheard the comment. She later told Fraser about it in the crew mess.
“Everybody’s talking about you having a New Year’s kiss with Steven,” she said, and Fraser then decided to ask Captain Kerry Titheradge if it would be OK.
“There are malicious rumors about a guest that would like to have a New Year’s Eve kiss with one of the crew,” Fraser joked when he saw the captain. “What [are] your thoughts on that?”
Kerry initially responded that “the crew shouldn’t have to” be part of that, but Fraser clarified, “And if the crew member was really actually keen, then it’s fine?”
After flirting with Steven during dinner service, Fraser, the interior crew, and the other guests celebrated “New Year’s Eve” outside with sparklers.
Upon counting down to midnight, Fraser walked over to Steven and said, “I’m gonna give my husband a kiss.”
Moments later, Barbie asked Fraser if he enjoyed the lip lock.
“Um, yeah,” he said. “I was kind of hopeful for a bit more.”
Fraser did get more, as he exchanged a few messages with Steven on Instagram. The next morning, while getting drinks for the guests, Fraser joked that he was making “one mimosa for my husband-to-be.”
The guests soon left St. David, but Fraser and Steven kept in touch — and Fraser invited him to the crew night out.
“I’m literally obsessed with you,” Fraser told Steven at the club before the two shared a steamier kiss.
“I don’t know what the future is between Steven and I,” Fraser admitted in an interview on the episode. “It’s the first time I’ve actually had a crush on someone in a long time, and they’ve actually felt similar towards me back. And it’s quite exciting.”
