Captain Kerry Titheradge Officially Reveals Below Deck Season 12 Premiere Date, a Completely New Crew, and Exciting Surprises for Fans
Captain Kerry Titheradge Officially Reveals Below Deck Season 12 Premiere Date, a Completely New Crew, and Exciting Surprises for Fans
Bravo greenlit another season of Below Deck last May.
Shortly after, the prep work for Season 12 began.
As the OG series in this nautical franchise, the casting pool of yachtie alums is vast.
However, many crew members only last for a season or two.
Yet, if the rumor mills are correct, BD Season 12 will see five familiar faces back onboard.
And yes, we are counting Captain Kerry Titheradge in this count.
This replacement captain did an excellent job taking over for Captain Lee Rosbach in Season 11.
Therefore, it appears as if his stake in this series is secured.
Unlike his predecessor, Captain Kerry has zero beefs with any other captain in this franchise (that we know of).
So, cheers to peace (for now).
Filming for Captain Kerry’s next season has already wrapped, and if this series follows its usual path, we can expect to see it airing during the first quarter of 2025.
As for the rest, the internet has stepped up with clues centering around Season 12, and so far, we like what we have read.
We have since taken all of these findings and recorded them here in one place.
Here are the details on everything that has either leaked and/or been alleged regarding Below Deck Season 12.
St. Maarten and the motor yacht Saint David are appearing on Below Deck Season 12.
Thanks to a loyal viewer of this series, we already know that Season 12 took place around St. Maarten, located in the northeastern quadrant of the stunning Caribbean Seas.
On Reddit, one user wrote that Season 12 was “filmed in St. Maarten” after the motor yacht St. David and its crew got spotted “transiting the Simpson Bay bridge on April 28, 2024.”
St. Maarten features many stunning attractions, like beaches, nature preserves, and lookout points, each boasting excellent views for days.
Consequently, we can (kind of) guarantee that this crew will have plenty of chances for beach lunches, excursions, and even hiking, should the guests feel inclined.
When not traversing around St. Maarten, Season 12’s charter guests will have their run of the motor yacht Saint David, the largest Below Deck yacht thus far.
This yacht can easily host 14 crew members onboard.
However, once this stunning ship emerged in Season 10, 14 crew members have yet to materialize.
Might we recommend a sous chef, Bravo?
These yachties are (allegedly) returning to Below Deck Season 12.
While a sous chef is unlikely, an interesting development has occurred in Season 12’s galley.
Remember Chef Anthony Iracane? This calm, kindhearted chef was ill-prepared during Season 11, so Captain Kerry sent him packing.
Shortly after his firing aired on Bravo, Anthony shared that he was working on his comeback era, as he knew that he could nail this series via a second season.
Guess what? Chef Anthony is allegedly back for Season 12.
As is Fraser Olender. Sadly, Fraser is allegedly starting over with an entirely new interior team (more on this in a bit).
The exterior team, however, has two rumored returnees, courtesy of Kyle Stillie and Sunny Marquis.
In Season 11, Sunny got promoted to a lead deckhand role. Could Sunny be our new Bosun? We hope so.
And yes, this means that Ben Willoughby is allegedly out. However, during filming for Season 11, Sunny and Ben were still an item, so his name is likely to sound at least once or twice during Season 12.
But something must have transpired, as these two recently called their romance off. Ship sh*t happens.
Below Deck Season 12 (possible) interior leak #1 – Barbara Kulaif
Joining Barbara (maybe) is another stewardess named Solène Favreau. One glance at this rumored new hire’s Instagram page proves that Solène loves being out on the water, especially when a tiny bikini is involved.
As far as her actual work experience goes, her images show her lounging on yachts, not lifting. So, if this rumored new hire is accurate, Solène might be entertaining AF during her shifts. Godspeed, Fraser.
If Solène looks familiar, we can explain. This alleged new stew also appeared in the second season of Love Island France. In the finale episode, Solène placed third.
Like Barbara, Solène also follows Captain Kerry, Fraser, Kyle, Anthony, and Sunny. And yes, Barbara is on her followers list as well. All the signs seem to be pointing towards Solène coming on board as a stew during Season 12 of Below Deck.
Below Deck Season 12 (possible) interior leak #3 – Rainbeau
Now that the interior department is (allegedly) sorted out, it is time to turn our attention toward the exterior team to see who is allegedly joining Kyle and Sunny on board Season 12 of Below Deck. Enter Damo Yorg, a deckhand with a penchant for speedos and a good time, unless his entire Instagram page is a big fluffy lie. But we doubt this, Damo, for the record.
Damo is into surfing, traveling, bungee jumping, costumes, and standing on mountains naked (okay, he only has one image with his cheeks out, but still). As we said, Damo seems to be a good time.
Friends-wise, Damo follows Kyle, Barbara, Rainbeau, Solène, Anthony, and Fraser. He does not, however, follow Captain Kerry or Sunny. Interesting. Consider us intrigued by Damo’s potential showing as a Below Deck deckie in Season 12.
Below Deck Season 12 (possible) exterior leak #2 – Jess Jardim Theron
Jess Jardim Theron is our final potential new crew member for Season 12 of Below Deck. Sadly, Jess owns a locked-down Instagram account, so our details on this rumored last deckhand are few. However, we did find a post from last year that Jess got tagged in, showing her working underneath an inky black sky, trying to secure a tarp, as Mother Nature said no.
Since Jess is living that private life (for now), we returned to the other social media accounts owned by her fellow rumored Season 12 costars. In our findings, Kyle, Fraser, Damo, Rainbeau, and Barbara follow Jess. Anthony, Captain Kerry, and Sunny, however, do not.
We will say this one more time (for now). Below Deck Season 12 has us intrigued, and we cannot wait to watch these potential yachties doing their best (or worst) on Bravo.
Until then, older seasons of Below Deck are streaming on Peacock.
