In a first for Below Deck Mediterranean, motor yacht Bravado became the love boat for one charter—all so that the primary guest could find romance.
“We’ve never done one like this before,” Captain Sandy Yawn told her crew in Season 10, Episode 7. “This is going to be a fun charter. Like a matchmaker cruise.”
Sandy shared that primary guest Joe was bringing his personal matchmaker Amy on board, in order to host a “singles event” on charter. Six eligible women joined Joe “with the hopes of finding love,” chief stew Aesha Scott read off the preference sheet. Chef Josh Bingham also revealed a twist: if Joe “makes a connection,” he “may leave the yacht with his new love interest!”
The unique charter left all of the crew members heavily invested in the romantic life of their primary guest—none more so than bosun Nathan Gallagher. He listened with rapt attention to Joe and his potential match Brooke discuss interactions with a poodle.
“They’re like geniuses,” Brooke proclaimed in the Nov. 10 episode. “He speaks English, like actually, he knows so many words.”
Nathan was fascinated by what was happening on board. “I’ve never seen anything like this charter,” he announced in his confessional interview. “I can’t stop watching it. It’s just absolutely insane, and I’m loving every minute of it.”
Sandy joined in Nathan’s fascination with the love boat, saying, “I love this. I wish we could do every charter like this. Are you kidding me? This would be amazing.”

Nathan wasn’t the only crew member paying close attention to the fight for primary guest Joe’s heart during the charter. Potential match Anna immediately caught Aesha’s attention during the first dinner.
“So, I had a guy I went on a one-on-one date with,” Anna shared at the table as Aesha was serving. “I wore like a hot coutore dress. I was going to an Upper East Side place where I live. And he told me, ‘Oh, it’s not like you’re going to a runway show.’ So I said, ‘You know what? Get out of here.’ Life is my runway show, and if you don’t like that, you should leave.”

As Joe and the other matches awkwardly laughed at her uncomfortable story, Aesha shared her frank opinion of Anna during a confessional interview. “I’m rooting for Ashleigh or Alicia,” Aesha declared. “Anna belongs with no one.”
But Aesha was also cheering on another match, Leah, after she sang a beautiful opera performance for the whole yacht, that garnered applause from guests and crew.

Along with Aesha, deckhand Max Salvador also picked up bad vibes from Anna. After dinner she asked Max to take pictures of her on the deck of the yacht, and confessed a secret.
“I do not like that guy,” Anna shared, and added, “He’s not even hot. Like, what the f—k?”
It came after Anna also confessed her true intentions to some of the other matches as she readied for dinner. “I’m just here for the yacht at the end of the day,” she told them. “I’m not really here for the guy. I have plenty of those in New York.”

When Leah was one of two ladies let off the boat on Day 2 for a missed connection with Joe, and Anna was not, Aesha shockingly admitted, “I did not see that coming.”
Max also revealed to the crew what Anna was saying behind Joe’s back. “Anna, she was like, saying disgusting things. And she’s not even leaving? I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen.”
ICYMI, Joe Bradley teased a “bombshell” and “utter chaos” still to come on Season 10 Below Deck Med.
