Below deck med Sandy

Bravo’s “Below Deck Mediterranean” Star Captain Sandy Yawn is celebrating a huge accomplishment this month and we’re so proud of her!!

Sandy recently celebrated 33 years of sobriety with a new Instagram post!

She shared:

“34 years ago today I was broken, I felt hopeless and I didn’t feel worthy to look up at the sky. I tried for years to stay clean & sober and on August 29th 1989 something shifted inside of me and for the 1st time in many years I was able to look at the sky and feel worthy, I felt hopeful, and I did the work that it takes to stay clean & sober. The work continues on a daily basis and all those days added up to my 34 years of continuous sobriety today! I feel fearless, energetic and motivated to continue on this journey. Thank you to all the people who have helped me throughout the years. I am grateful and I love you. #sobriety #hope #lifeisgood #fearless

Huge congratulations to Sandy! Below Deck Med returns for Season 8 on September 25th.

Set amidst the mesmerizing Italian Riviera and the historic façade of Genoa, Italy, it’s all hands on deck this season for Capt. Sandy and her team. From outrageous guests to after-hours antics, the boat gets rocked throughout each charter as the crew navigates complicated dynamics and unexpected rifts. In a franchise first, unprecedented staffing changes dominate the season, which tests each department as they struggle to find their sea legs through unforeseen turnover. 

Sandy levels up from last season with the 180-foot M/Y Mustique, which challenges her deck crew as they attempt to navigate the busy industrial port with utmost precision. Before they even leave the dock, visa issues tie up two crew members while a department head mismanages important paperwork. Sandy leans on temporary help for the first charter and an unexpected shake-up results in a change of hierarchy. On deck, the crew is overwhelmed by their workload on the oversized vessel as the interior deals with a clash of personalities. Chef Jack wows the guests with his impressive take on local Italian fare, but things start to sour when communication goes south. 

Between “friends with benefits” and open relationships, there’s no shortage of boat-mances and boat break-ups. When disagreements impact productivity and former friendships start to implode, Sandy is faced with a wave of difficult decisions.
