Ep 1. Holy Ship! We're Sailing

Welcome aboard the Parsifal III, the latest addition to the Below Deck franchise. This time, the crew sets sail on a sleek 180-foot super-yacht, catering to the whims of ten privileged guests as they cruise the Ionian Sea in Greece.

Episode one, titled "Holy Ship! We're Sailing," introduces viewers to Captain Glenn Shepard, a seasoned sailor who spent years navigating the vast oceans on commercial ships. Unflappable and level-headed, Shepard leads his team of seven as they prepare the yacht for its maiden voyage.

In the galley is chef Adam Glick, a Below Deck veteran with a sharp tongue and even sharper knife skills. His culinary creations are tantalising, but his fiery temperament may cause some waves in the kitchen.

Meanwhile, the interior team consists of chief stew Jenna MacGillivray, second stew Madison Stalker, and third stew Georgia Grobler. Jenna is an experienced yachting professional who oozes charm and efficiency, but she strives for perfection and can be seen as demanding. Madison is a recent convert to the yachting world, but has quickly adapted to the demands of the job with surprising ease. Georgia is eager to impress, but being the least experienced of the interior crew, she has to quickly learn the ropes.

Then there's deckhand Paget Berry, who is joined by his girlfriend, fellow deckhand Ciara Duggan. They are the couple to watch on the Parsifal III, with their steamy romance capturing the interest of their crewmates. But can they maintain their professionalism while juggling their personal relationship?

As the yacht prepares to set sail, ten guests arrive, each with their own unique demands and expectations. From the party-hard Charlie and Georgia to the sophisticated Peter and Anastasia, the cast promises to add intrigue, drama, and plenty of laughs to the show.

The guests are welcomed onto the yacht by the crew, with Captain Glenn giving them a safety briefing. The Parsifal III sets sail in the Ionian Sea, giving guests the chance to explore some of the most beautiful islands of Greece while enjoying the best in luxury yachting. The crew's challenge is to cater to every whim of the guests while balancing their own personal dramas and challenges along the way.

The first episode introduces us to the crew and the guests while highlighting the challenges they face on this epic journey. From handling the guests' unusual requests to the often-tempestuous relationships forming and bubbling under the surface, it's clear that this season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht will be filled with excitement, drama, and plenty of tension.

Tune in for an unforgettable first episode on the Parsifal III, and join the crew as they explore the high seas and test their mettle in the demanding world of luxury yachting.
