Below Deck Sailing Yacht - Season 3

Captain Glenn is back on board Parsifal III, sailing the Balearic Island of Menorca with some familiar faces -- Daisy, Gary, and Colin; new to the team, Chef Marcos knows he has to make this season memorable for the guests.

Parsifal III's new crew figures out how to work together to execute a successful first charter. Marcos works tirelessly to satiate the massive appetites of the charter guests. Gabriela aims to prove she deserves the second stew title while Ashley works her own angle to convince Daisy she’s the better pick. A sail that is sold to Daisy as mild ends up including a dramatic heel, which leaves glasses broken and her fuming. To make up for the embarrassment of the first night, Tom tries to prove to his new team that he is good at his job but he struggles along the way. The first crew night out leads to conflict between Tom and Ashley after Ashley dismisses Tom’s advances because of his age.

After a wild night off, a hungover Parsifal III crew puts the pieces of the night back together as they prepare for the second charter of the season. Tensions come to a head in the interior department when Gabriela and Ashley can’t agree on who’s in charge, forcing Daisy to step in. Tom finds it increasingly difficult to find his footing on deck and with Ashley. When a group of returning charter guests board the ship, their high demands and quick temper leave chef Marcos and Daisy feeling lost at sea.

Demanding charter guests continue to keep the crew on their toes. Eager to please, chef Marcos injures himself while trying to prepare dinner. A startled crew rallies behind Marcos as he forges ahead in hopes of preparing the best, yet most bizarre dinner of his career. Meanwhile, Captain Glenn confronts the primary about a costly damage to the yacht before the charter guests make a swift departure and leave behind a shocking tip. After another boozy hot tub night, Parsifal III’s resident playboy Gary ends his night in an unexpected and steamy way.

While the sexual chemistry heats up on the boat, Ashley and Gabriela continue to be icy towards one another. From the galley, Marcos takes note of the competition unfolding between the junior stews and alerts Daisy, making for an unhappy chief stew. On deck, all seems to be going well, until Tom gets some devastating news from home. His distraction has a ripple effect, resulting in the most perilous situation Parsifal III has ever found itself in.

Parsifal III hits aground under Tom's watch, sending the boat into total chaos; the crew pulls it together for the guests' departure, but Tom's actions put Glenn and the deck team in a difficult situation.

Tom continues to spiral over his mistakes while juggling devastating news from back home. Capt. Glenn contemplates whether he can trust Tom. The Parsifal III crew pull together a “talentless” talent show for the energetic charter guests. In the galley, Gabriela and Marcos have a miscommunication during dinner service that causes tension to bubble up between them. Friction between Gary and Daisy intensifies after Kelsie is caught covering Gabriela’s duties on the final day of charter.

The conflict between Gary and Daisy further escalates following their disagreement about their departments. Between the massive new fenders and being a man down, it takes the whole crew to manage a chaotic docking. Ashley finds herself in both physical and emotional pain after witnessing Gabriela and Gary in bed together, but she isn’t the only one frustrated with the second stew. After a tense dinner, Gabriela’s relationships with her fellow crew members spiral out of control leaving her questioning whether or not she can continue the season. With a new charter comes new problems when an exhausted Gary is injured while trying to manage all the exterior duties without a second deckhand.

Tensions rise on the boat for both the interior and deck crew. Gary’s finger gets stuck in the main saloon doors causing so much pain that his patience with Kelsie is obsolete. Still one man down, Kelsie tries to keep her head above water with the new 12-hour graveyard shift. On the interior, Gabriela works hard to amend her relationship with the crew but feels isolated from the team. Ashley confides in Daisy about Gabriela’s attitude, forcing Daisy to have a private conversation with Gabriela.

After getting vulnerable with Daisy about how low she’s been feeling aboard Parsifal III, Gabriela wants to try to turn things around on the upcoming crew day off. Coming off another successful charter and in true celebratory fashion, Ashley goes full steam ahead in her pursuit for Gary. The next morning, however, a hungover Gary claims he can’t remember what happened. The crew head to a luxury villa to unwind, reset and figure out what really happened between Gary and Ashley. Everyone is riding high until Marcos and Gabriela bump heads yet again, instantly turning a day in paradise into one of drama and torture.

Gary jumps to the rescue as an empty neighboring boat drags into another boat nearby; Marcos shines again as he caters to the demanding guests with ease, but his crew worries that he's burning himself out.

Daisy is brought to her breaking point as the demanding guests continue to challenge the Parsifal III crew with their incessant requests. The arrival of a new stew puts smiles on everyone’s faces except for Ashley’s as she’s quick to claim Gary as her territory. When sparks fly between Gary and new stew Scarlett, Ashley shifts her focus to work, determined to finally get the coveted second second stew position.

After campaigning for a promotion, Ashley is sorely disappointed to be given the title “Junior Stew,” making her and Scarlett equals. With returning charter guests, can Daisy lead her junior stews to success? Gary is back to his flirtatious ways as he distracts Scarlett to the ire of both Ashley and Daisy. Marcos has to navigate a myriad of dietary restrictions while planning a 10-course meal. After a charter full of no wind, Glenn is determined to impress the guests with a sailing race to secure that ever-elusive big tip.

After ending another charter on a high note, the crew are raring to go for a night on the town. Ashley swears she’ll stay out of Gary’s and Scarlett’s boatmance while Scarlett continues to walk a fine line between balancing her feelings for Gary and keeping her interior team happy. As charter number eight approaches, Glenn informs the crew they will be stuck at anchor for the next several days due to bad weather, leaving the crew to feel the pressure to bring their A game. Marcos feels it the most as he’s tasked with a molecular gastronomy meal while just receiving bad news from home.

Chef Marcos attempts to power through another stellar dinner while dealing with some devastating news. The weather conditions intensify forcing the deck crew to attempt to avoid another running-aground scenario. To keep themselves entertained at anchor, the guests challenge the crew to a relay race to determine who’s the most worthy of their inaugural Seaman’s Cup Trophy. With the charter coming to a close, the crew hope their hands-on approach with the guests give them a tip to remember.

Reeling from the news that Parsifal III has a last-minute charter with the hardest preference sheet of the season, the crew try to enjoy their night off. A wild night leads to massive hangovers the next day as Chef Marcos struggles to create a savory but safe menu for the guests based on a complex list of dietary restrictions, plus a three-tiered gluten free wedding cake.

While Marcos strives to wow the guests with his best meal yet, time is running out and he still has to add the finishing touches on the wedding cake. Daisy puts Ashley in charge of the final dinner service to see if she’s finally ready for a promotion. Gary and Scarlett try to savor what little time they have left.
