What to expect from Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9?
In Season 9 of Below Deck Mediterranean, Captain Sandy and the crew face tough challenges. They deal with unusual guests, lots of late-night requests, and a never-before-seen mechanical problem that needs everyone’s help.
Aesha, who’s in charge of making sure guests have a great time, faces difficulties like delayed supplies and managing a busy interior department. Chef Jono has to prove himself with his cooking skills.
The deck crew also has their own problems to solve, learning that good communication is important to have a successful season.
Even though Aesha starts the season excited to be back in the Mediterranean, things get tough for her on the Mustique yacht. She finds managing the crew very challenging, especially when two crew members have a crush on the same person.
So, this season promises lots of drama and challenges for the crew as they work hard to keep the guests happy and the boat running smoothly.

Captain Sandy Yawn is back with familiar faces on the crew. Aesha Scott returns after working with Captain Sandy in Seasons 4 and 5. Elena Dubaich also makes a comeback, having helped out in Season 7 when Kyle Viljoen got hurt.
