Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10, Episode 3 Recap: Jet Skis, Truffles, and Trouble on the High Seas.
The chaos continues aboard M/Y Bravado as the deck crew unravels, the stews keep things afloat, and Captain Sandy tries to hold it all together.
The Deck Team Can’t Stay Afloat
After last week’s rough docking, fans were hoping the deck crew would redeem themselves. Even Captain Sandy admitted, “We look like amateurs — because we are.” Unfortunately, things haven’t improved.
Christian and Max are still clashing, locked in a petty power struggle that’s making everyone cringe. Bosun Nathan tries to keep the peace, but it’s clearly a battle of egos. Their arguments are now more Real Housewives than Below Deck, and it’s only Episode 3.
Demanding Guests and an Overwhelmed Crew
The new charter guests arrive with enough luggage to sink a tender, one guest alone brought “40 pairs of shoes”. Chief Stew Aesha rallies her interior team to handle the pressure, while second stew V humbly asks for feedback to improve. Aesha is determined to level her up, knowing that a better team means a better tip.
Crew Night Out Gets Flirty
The crew’s first night out starts off fun but quickly reveals who’s who. Tessa claims she’s not into anyone, while Kizzi, the resident flirt, says she has a boyfriend but “loves love.” Sure, Jan.
Chef Josh continues to win fans with his hilarious clown-themed confessionals… weird, but in the best way.
Trouble Below Deck
Christian opens up about his past with violence, hinting that his temper might become a problem. His tension with Max spills over again, leading to yet another shouting match about cleaning duties. Even Nathan is done, warning that if it happens again, someone’s going to Captain Sandy.
Meanwhile, Aesha’s interior crew is thriving, and Chef Josh delivers a stunning Spanish tapas lunch that wows everyone. But then comes the dinner drama, a truffle-based meal almost derailed when Max ate the truffles. Yes, the deckhand.
A Jet Ski Disaster
As if things couldn’t get worse, one guest drifts away on a foil board without a life jacket while deckhands Tessa and Christian stand by, unsure what to do. Later, Christian himself ends up floating away on a powerless jet ski. The guests notice before the crew does. For Captain Sandy, that’s a mortifying moment, the kind that could end someone’s season.
A Promising Chef and a Doomed Deckhand
espite the deck team chaos, Chef Josh remains the MVP. His food is flawless, his humor disarming, and his calm under pressure refreshing. On the flip side, the deck team feels like a ticking time bomb. Someone’s bound to get fired soon — and after this jet ski debacle, it’s only a matter of time.
Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10, Episode 3 brought love: tension, humor, great food, and total disaster. Captain Sandy’s patience is thinning, the deckhands are one mistake away from mutiny, and the charter guests are as extra as ever. Buckle up — the next episode might finally deliver the season’s first firing.
