1. Captain Lee Rosbach

We suppose it will be important to start with the VIPs and acquainted faces (in any case, Below Deck by no means we could viewers omit the way it all comes down to rank when one's at sea), which is why Captain Lee Rosbach is first in line.

Captain Lee has been with the Bravo fact hit since Day 1, and are we able to remind you all that he is identified in maritime circles as the Stud of the Sea? HOT, we know.

Chief Stew and HBIC Kate Chastain may be returning for her 6th shuttle with Captain Lee, and from the looks of Season 7 sneak peeks, she is set to achieve the finish of her line. "Go find another chief stew," she says at one point to fellow Below Deck alum Ashton Pienaar. "I quit."

3. Ashton Pienaar

"I think we have the most attractive deck crew I've ever worked with," Kate says in a preview ahead of the season. 

When it comes to heading the external staff, Ashton Pienaar is the new guy in charge. Hailing from Johannesburg, South Africa, we first met Ashton last season when he fell overboard and scared the entire crew of My Seanna. 

This time round, he is been promoted from deckhand to bosun and we will be able to't wait to look what the season has in store for him.

4. Simone Mashile

Also a native of South Africa is 2nd stewardess Simone Mashile, who has some extent in mathematics and held an office process before leaving her 9-to-Five for maritime adventures, as many Below Deck staff members are wont to do. 

Now that she's made her dream of touring a truth, she jumps round the French Riviera as a stewardess and sous chef and lives via the motto: "I am the master of my destiny, I am the captain of my soul." Sounds inspiring! Let's see if the rest of the group contributors think in order neatly.

Courtney rounds out the internal crew as the third stewardess, and she or he got started in yachting after shifting to France with the intention of attending industry college.

6. Brian de Saint Pern

Lead deckhand Brian de Saint Pern grew up in South Africa as neatly, so we will't stay up for the mix of accents aboard the Valor (in truth, don't seem to be the accents part the reason we watch?) this season. 

Brian has been yachting for four years, and started surfing, swimming and playing water polo means earlier than that. Since he determined to pursue yachting, he's been operating on charter vessels alongside the Mediterranean, and is having a look to earn his First Mate/Officer certification.

7. Tanner Sterback

Deckhand Tanner has all the time been free-spirited, athletic, and in love with the ocean, so he sounds in point of fact smartly primed to join the exterior crew on Valor this season. He grew up in Long Island, then moved to California to pursue the surfer lifestyle and worked as a lifeguard at the Coppola Winery.

Soon, he determined to trade in the surf for a extra stable occupation that may nonetheless give him the chance to commute and discover, which is how he got began in yachting. When he is not on board, he can also be seen touring in a van along with his adorable canine Tito.

8. Abbi Murphy

Preview clips already display deckhand Abbi hooking up along with her boss Ashton, so we are keen to see how that is going to play itself out over the remainder of the season. Tensions are even higher taking into account the fact that we see Ashton ask Captain Lee to let him proceed the charters with a person down on the exterior midseason, so we're questioning if the yacht romance ended in skilled variations, or if Ashton is relating to anyone else totally.

Either means, Abbi was a lawyer prior to she took a sailing holiday round Greece that modified her life. After that, she quit her activity at a legislation company and made up our minds to devote her time to studying the right way to sail. Outside of being a deckhand on Below Deck, she works as a first mate in Greece with the identical corporate that attracted her to crusing.

9. Kevin Dobson

Lastly but in all probability most significantly aboard the Valor is chef Kevin Dobson, who's from Lake Tekapo, New Zealand. We haven't heard his identify much in the preview clips for the season, which bodes smartly for Kevin bearing in mind the long lineage of chefs we saw come and go from Season 4 of Below Deck Med.

Considering he began his culinary profession at age 14 and has moved up the ranks of the hospitality world, we expect things will likely be easy sailing for Kevin. When he isn't out yachting, the chef is based totally out of Melbourne, the place he tries to spend as a lot time as he can together with his baby daughter.

Kevin is not on Instagram but we are excited to see his creations on board!
