Below Deck Mediterranean returns for its 11th season tonight on Bravo at 8 p.m. ET/PT, bringing the luxury yacht drama to the stunning Adriatic coast of Dubrovnik, Croatia. The season marks a geographic shift from the previous year’s Barcelona, Spain setting and brings a major crew shakeup alongside four returning fan favorites.
Captain Sandy Yawn, Chief Stew Aesha Scott, Bosun Nathan Gallagher, and Deckhand Joe Bradley are back aboard motor yacht Akira One, according to Just Jared. The returning core will navigate the new season alongside seven new crew members, while five cast members from Season 10 have exited the franchise.
The new crew joining the charter season includes chef Joy Lefaucheur and stews Gen Lillie, Kayley Smith, and Kat Johnston, as confirmed by Bravo. The fresh faces are set to bring their own energy to the high-pressure world of luxury yachting, where crew dynamics and guest satisfaction are paramount.
Season 10, which concluded in January 2026, was filmed in Barcelona and followed Captain Sandy’s crew through a charter season marked by relationship drama and crew tension. The move to Croatia’s Adriatic coast represents a new backdrop for the franchise, known for its vibrant scenery and picturesque coastal towns that serve as the setting for multi-million-dollar yacht charters.
Episodes of Below Deck Mediterranean Season 11 will stream on Peacock the day after they air on Bravo, making the reality series available to streaming subscribers. The show continues Bravo’s Below Deck franchise expansion, which includes the original Below Deck series and Below Deck Down Under, both of which have their own active seasons in production or recently wrapped.
