It’s going to be great.
It takes place in Sardinia.
We definitely have some challenges.
You’ve got Daisy Kelliher, Gary King, and Colin Macrae back for another season.
What makes them such a good team?
I remember the first time I met those guys, which was the beginning of our 2nd season.
It’s hard bringing on new crew and feeling each other out and figuring out what they’re like.
I’m really happy to have them back.
If I can have my way, I would have them forever because it’s such a great team.
They’re really, really good.
I’m really happy to have them.
I’ve never gotten close [to firing] any of those guys.
That is one thing [crew could do to get fired].
It’s a touchy area.
But had it been the other way around, it’s a totally different thing.
An example of something that gets somebody in a lot of trouble would be that behavior.
We wouldn’t tolerate that.
Everyone has to feel comfortable in their job and know that they’re there to do a job.
Anything else happens on the side, but they don’t have to worry about that.
If it’s something they don’t want to happen, then it’s not gonna happen.
[With] the mentality of the people that I work with, that’s obvious to them.
They understand all that.
They’re not going to be surprised if that were to happen.
They know that, and they’re very careful of it.
That’s the world we live in today.
You have to be very respectful of all of that stuff.
That’s a tough one.
I love them both.
Obviously, there’s something there between them, but it’s hard to put your finger on.
They’re both flirtatious, but we’ll have to wait and see what happens.
Have you received any advice fromCaptain Sandyor Captain Lee throughout your time on the show?
What kind of relationship do you have with them?
I have a great relationship [with them].
I chatted with both of them before I started doing Season 1.
I ask someone who has that experience, “What’s it like?”
and they basically both told me, “Just be yourself.”
It was amazing advice because you’re going to be in front of the camera.
You don’t want to be up here boring or weird or whatever.
The audience is going to see whoever you are anyway; it’ll come through.
That was the best advice.
Are there any celebrities who you’d like to welcome on board as guests in the future?
That’s a tough one.
There are some celebrities that I’ve met over the years.
On meeting his girlfriend online
Fans were really excited when you went public with your girlfriend.
Are you happy to tell us how you met?
A lot of people meet [that way].
People want to see what the person looks like.
That’s the benefit of online.
That’s how we met.
We were both living in northern Italy at the time.
We met before I did any of the show.
We met four or five years ago coming up to five years now.
So I forced myself, [and said] “Okay, don’t be lazy about a relationship.
Go out there and make it happen.”
And luckily, I met her.
It’s worked out really well.
Could you see yourself starring on a different reality show?
If so, which one?
That’s a tough question.
I don’t think so.
It was never my goal to be on TV.
It’s fun to get recognized occasionally.
I like my anonymity.
It’s cool in Europe, but I’m not really a TV personality.
I don’t think it makes sense for me.
I’ll keep going with “Below Deck” as long as it goes because that’s my job.
Maybe if there was a travel reality show, that would be right up my alley.
I would love that.
But “Summer House” …
I’m not going to be on the “Housewives.”
It’s not really my thing to be on television.
I lucked into this because of the job that I was already doing.
I’ve got a face for radio; I shouldn’t be on television, but somehow I am.
I’m glad I do it now.
Do you have any favorite memories from filming “Below Deck Sailing Yacht” so far?
Some of the crew days off were a lot of fun.
We did some cool stuff where we were able to use the boat.
Some you only get to follow on social media, so it can be a bit sad.
We did a race a couple of seasons ago with another boat, and that was a highlight.
That was a lot of fun.
Oh yeah, enjoyed that.
Is there anything else we should know about the new season?
People are going to enjoy it.
It’s really going to be good.
I hope everyone watches.
