Below Deck Sailing Yacht ’s Boat Crash Was Worse Than It Looked in All Those Clips
The collision between Gary and Daisy during the Below Deck Sailing Yacht crew ’s day off had nothing on what was to come. May 10’s episode finally brought the boat crash that Below Deck Sailing Yacht had been teasing since before the season started, and somehow, it was even worse than it seemed in all those clips. The problems began on a particularly windy morning, hours before the crew needed to pick up guests for their next charter. Soon after deckhand Sydney Zaruba noticed the wind was turning the boat, the stern started scraping against the dock. To get away, the crew had to unplug the yacht from shore power on the dock — which became a problem of its own once the boat was away from the dock, but unable to move in the wind. With chief engineer Colin Macrae off the boat on some chief-engineer business, first mate Gary King had to figure out Parsifal III ’s generator system to get the yacht power. But their worries didn’t end once Gary got power to the boat — the deck crew then had to get the anchors up after they’d been dragging. And you thought sailing was stressful!
After the yacht got safely away from the dock, the crew surveyed the boat’s scratches. “It could’ve been a lot more serious damage,” Captain Glenn Shepard said in a confessional. “Like a season-ending kind of damage.” “Someone could lose their life in a situation like this,” reflected deckhand Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux. And once Colin got back on board, he added that “it would’ve been a totally different situation” if Gary hadn’t been able to turn on the generator. “I think Gary saved our ass.”
As it turned out, though, the crew wasn’t out of the woods. When they headed back to the dock to pick up guests, they ran into more issues with the strong winds. “Here we go again, with the wind blowing us into the dock,” Gary said in a confessional. “We literally cannot catch a break.” As the crew began docking the boat, Parsifal III ’s bow thrusters stopped working in the wind — sending the boat right into the dock for a second time, in the even-worse crash that we saw in the season’s trailer.
Will this one be the “season-ending kind of damage” Captain Glenn talked about? While the episode closes on a particularly stressful “To be continued …” Glenn shared on a pre-season Reddit AMA that it still “could have been a lot worse. “A repair like that would probably run $10k-$20k,” he wrote, adding that the boat already needed to be repainted. “That is always covered by insurance,” he added. “The boats are well insured.”

Captain Glenn Shephard teases cause of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2 boat crash
Captain Glenn Shephard has teased the cause of the Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2 boat crash featured in the trailer. It’s an OMG moment that appears to do an extensive amount of damage to the Parsifal III.
The usually calm captain can be seen swearing up a storm. Bravo executive Matt Reichman spilled that viewers should expect to see the wrath of Captain Glenn in the moment.
Fans have seen a 180 in the Below Deck spin-off between Season 1 and 2. Some viewers are still on the fence regarding the new season. However, everyone can agree the new crop of yachties is sex-crazed party animals.
The love triangle of Gary King, Alli Dore, and Sydney Zaruba has been teased as a key focus of the season. Plus, the serious drama between chef Natasha De Bourg and chief stew Daisy Kelliher is gearing up to be a hot story too.
What did Captain Glenn say about the boat crash?
In an E! News interview, the captain got real regarding the Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2 boat crash. The accident was a first for Captain Glenn on and off-camera.
“That’s the first time that’s happened. Fortunate it’s the first time but unfortunate that it happened,” the captain expressed.
Fans are anxiously waiting to see how the crash unfolds. Thankfully, Captain Glenn shared some insight to keep fans satisfied until the moment plays out on the small screen.
“So, there is a computer in between the throttles and the propeller to manage the load on the engine. I was using a maneuver mode that I don’t usually use, and I think my normal actions, in that mode, was a bit too much for the computer,” Captain Glenn shared.
The propeller doesn’t respond, and the Parsifal III slams into the dock. Yes, it’s a technical explanation, but fans can rest assured the accident will be full of drama when it airs.
Captain Glenn dishes his frustration with the accident
Like many in his situation, Captain Glenn explodes into a cuss-filled rant. The captain addressed his reaction during his E ! News interview explaining he doesn’t swear very often.

However, in the light of the events, Captain Glenn unleashes some expletives due to his frustration.
“Hitting the dock like that can be a season-ending incident. It can be very serious,” the captain stated. “It’s just something you want to avoid. I’ve avoided it all my career and, of course, now with the cameras rolling it happens.”
Thanks to his laid-back nature Captain Glenn Shephard was able to find humor in the Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2 boat crash long after it happened. He knows once the scene plays out onscreen, the captain will get a lot of flak for his reaction.
Captain Glenn promises neither his response nor the crash was for reality television purposes. They were authentic.
Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo.

Inside Below Deck Sailing Yacht ’s Crash, and the Dramatic Aftermath
Below Deck viewers have survived kitchen fires, nightmare charter guests , dramatic dismissals, drug scandals , and soured romantic relationships. But Monday’s episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, “Total Ship Show,” is unprecedented in franchise history, in terms of its sheer disaster quotient. Within the first five minutes of the episode, the Parsifal yacht crashes into a stone dock in high winds, destroying the end of the vessel and totaling Captain Glenn Shephard ’s already-dented ego. (Last week, Parsifal suffered a less serious collision. We hope the sailing yacht is not cursed.) The rest of the episode unravels like a high-paced thriller set aboard an out-of-control luxury yacht.
The villains: the shrill, gluten-free charter guests, who are too self-involved to notice the Parsifal ’s jacked transom door. The dramatic B-plot: the chef screwing up a five-course meal by serving steak after dessert. As if this were not enough action for a single episode, there is also an STD scare that forces an otherwise respectable woman to reckon with an indiscretion.
“It was almost like an embarrassment of riches,” said Below Deck executive producer Courtland Cox, of the chart-topping chaos in Croatia. “It’s amazing that this was all happening, but it’s also difficult to tell all of these stories in an interesting way within a limited amount of time per episode.” Some viewers complained that the season was starting off too smoothly, but Cox trusted the process and knew that such interesting cast members would yield climactic story lines. “With any great narrative structure, you want to have peaks and valleys that eventually crescendo into something interesting…. The yacht crashing, guests being crazy, and Jean-Luc [Cerza Lanaux] being worried about getting an STD, all that stuff is the seasoning.”
Ahead, Cox and Parsifal chief stew Daisy Kelliher take us behind the scenes of Monday’s bombshell episode to answer all of our burning questions—about everything from the crash to the onboard romances, including Dani’s pregnancy announcement.
Executive producer Cox was tucked away in a tiny control room on the Parsifal during both accidents, where he was able to watch what was happening from three different camera vantage points, and hear what was happening from the walkie-talkie dialogue on deck. Cox said that he knew that the Parsifal was going to hit the dock about five seconds before it happened—when first mate Gary King began calling out the shrinking measurements between the yacht and the dock, but the boat, because of the intense wind and swell, kept hurtling toward the dock at full speed. Because of a mechanical error that short-circuited the thrusters, Captain Glenn was not able to propel the vessel in the reverse direction.
As the ship sped toward the dock, the Below Deck producer juggled a contradictory range of concerns: the fear of a captive passenger aboard an out-of-control vessel; worry for his fellow shipmates; heartbreak for Captain Glenn, who was about to bite it in front of multiple cameras; and, conversely, the shark-like instincts of a reality-TV producer keen to capture the chaotic melee in all of its gruesome glory.
“The human part of me, my heart aches for Glenn,” Cox told Vanity Fair. Still, he continued, “My job is to capture what’s actually happening—so we told our camera operators, ‘Stay on Glenn.’ We don’t push right up in his face or get in his way, but the story in the moment was that Glenn hit the dock. How was he going to rectify the situation?”
In addition to seeing the crash, viewers also witness Captain Glenn’s spirit breaking close up—as the sweet Parsifal pilot realizes, in devastatingly real time, that he has not only incurred thousands of dollars in yacht damages, but has done so with a camera trained on him.
“I probably watched this episode 15 times in various incarnations, and every time I see Glenn’s face in the immediate aftermath of hitting that dock, I still get very emotional,” said Cox. “It’s a catastrophic moment for any yacht captain when you do damage to a boat. It’s the worst possible thing. And I also know that that’s compounded by a factor of a million because there are TV cameras on you.”
Cox has produced 16 seasons’ worth of Below Deck, and called the crash “the second-most intense moment ever on the series.” (The first-most intense was a near-death accident in 2018 during which deckhand Ashton Pienaar was pulled overboard after his ankle was caught in ropes.) “As a producer, it’s amazingly compelling. But as a person onboard, it’s terrifying…. But Glenn is a consummate professional. He didn’t try to deflect or make excuses or try to tap dance his way out of it. He went quickly into crisis mode, damage mode.”
Parsifal chief stew Daisy Kelliher said that watching the crash in the episode was worse than living it, “because I was downstairs when it happened. I have never seen a boat that crashed the dock or been in a boat that crashed the dock.”
Speaking about Glenn, Kelliher said, “He was pretty upset at the time, but you quickly calm down. It was an accident, and the main thing is nobody got hurt. It’s like banging your car. You get the insurance sorted. You learn from it. And you move on.”
How quickly did the episode’s events happen in real life?
The unfolded over the course of about 72 hours, according to Cox. “The boat hits the dock, it looks terrible, and Glenn’s like, ‘Well, the guests are getting here in four hours.’… The crew did a great job at kind of compartmentalizing, and putting the dock behind us as these charter guests come on. And the story becomes about J.L.’ s anxiety about the STD, and [chef] Natasha’s anxiety about these guests having crazy demands that are emotionally taxing on the heels of a traumatic event…. It’s exhausting for them.”
What did producers make of another unprecedented plot twist: J.L.’s on-camera concerns about a potential sexually transmitted disease?
This twist surprised even Cox. “I’m a fossil who grew up in the ’70s and ’80s,” said Cox. “What was going through my head was, ‘There’s a very easy way he could have prevented this—by using some kind of protection. If you roll the dice, you kinda gotta accept what happens to you. I’m not a heartless monster TV producer. I don’t want anyone to ever suffer or go through something they have an existential crisis over. In that moment, you’re hoping that it’s at least one of the lesser STDs that is easily treated.”
When did producers discover that Dani was pregnant? (The cast member revealed her pregnancy on Instagram last month.)
“Dani brought it to our attention when we were pretty far into the postproduction process,” said Cox. “Even once Dani found out, I think she kind of wanted to sit with [the news] herself. Then she let us know and said, ‘Hey, just so you know, I’m pregnant.’ We said, ‘Okay, great.’ I left that up to her and how much information she wanted to give us. My first reaction was, ‘That’s fantastic. Congratulations.’ Because she made it clear throughout the season that she wanted a family. The rest of that is for Dani to figure out.”
“I really don’t ask Dani much about it,” added Kelliher in a separate phone call. “I’m very aware that that she probably feels like she’s explaining herself to a lot of people. So I try and respect her privacy. We’ve spoken a little about it, but I figure the less I know the better.”
Do Daisy and Natasha eventually get to a place of mutual understanding and respect?
“I didn’t mind her,” said Kelliher. “On the show it looks like we hated each other. We were very civil with each other, and would laugh and sit with each other. It wasn’t constant arguing—that only came when it was time to serve meals…. At that stage, I had kind of given up, because I had tried everything. She didn’t want my help. She didn’t want to communicate with me…. I’m asking you if you’re serving five courses, you’re telling me no. I could stand here and keep arguing, but I wasn’t going to win in this.… We have a good relationship now. I have respect for her. But that [tension] never changes.”
What is Daisy’s read on the love triangle tensions between Gary, Sydney, and Alli?
“I wish I had been there for some of the conversations [between the three of them], because I don’t think they would have escalated as much,” said Kelliher. “I do think Sydney was pretty intense. I knew she was upset and understood why she was upset. If you’re a girl, it’s embarrassing if somebody chooses someone over you…. But some of the things she said were quite mean to Ali, and I didn’t really like that. If I had been there, that wouldn’t have happened because I wouldn’t have allowed it.”
“I’ve definitely seen love triangles. I’ve been involved in love triangles. This was intense because it escalated so quickly. I didn’t really get it. I guess maybe we’re all intense people—maybe that’s why you do a TV show about yachting. But I did find the whole thing a bit weird from all sides. I was like, ‘We’ve known each other [for] like three weeks…and don’t even know each others’ last names.’ Settle down.”

Below Deck Sailing Yacht 's Captain Glenn Reveals Cause of Season 2 Boat Crash
In an exclusive chat with e news, below deck sailing yacht 's captain glenn explained how the parsifal iii collided with a docking wall..
Swearing like a sailor.
In an exclusive chat with E! News, Below Deck Sailing Yacht 's Captain Glenn Shephard sounded off on the shocking boat crash from season two's action-packed trailer . For those who may've missed the sneak peek, Parsifal III was seen colliding with a docking wall, which had the usually calm captain exclaiming: "F--k me! God damnit. F--k!"
"That's the first time that's happened," Captain Glenn exclusively told E! News. "Fortunate it's the first time but, unfortunate that it happened."
So, what exactly caused the crash? According to the seasoned sailor , a "throttle malfunction" was to blame for the accident.
"So, there is a computer in between the throttles and the propeller to manage the load on the engine," he further explained. "I was using a maneuver mode that I don't usually use, and I think my normal actions, in that mode, was a bit too much for the computer."
This caused the propeller to not respond and resulted in Parsifal III making contact with the dock. As for his expletive-filled reaction? Captain Glenn reminded us that he is "a sailor."
"I swear occasionally and obviously I get frustrated and things happened," the Bravo personality said. "When something like that happens, it's pretty big."
In fact, per the captain, "hitting the dock like that can be a season ending incident. It can be very serious."
Not to mention, as Captain Glenn detailed it, this was something that made the whole crew look bad. "It's just something you want to avoid," he noted. "I've avoided it all my career and, of course, now with the cameras rolling it happens."
Although Captain Glenn knows he'll "take a lot of flak" for this incident, he reminded us that these "things do happen." Understandably, he also shared that this moment was not a high point in his career.
Thankfully, the captain was able to find the humor in the situation. He even quipped, "I promise you I didn't do it on purpose for the drama."
For the extent of the damage and the full crash, you'll have to tune into season two of BDSY .
Season two of Below Deck Sailing Yacht premieres Monday, Mar. 1 at 9 p.m. on Bravo.

Captain Glenn on What Caused Below Deck Sailing Yacht's Boat Crash: "That's Never Happened Before"
The Below Deck Sailing Yacht crew and producers open up about the chaos on deck and in the interior.
It was one of the most chaotic days in Below Deck history.
How to Watch
Watch Below Deck Sailing Yacht on Bravo on Monday, October 7 at 9/8c and next day on Peacock . Catch up on the Bravo app .
During an incredibly windy day in Croatia, the Parsifal III drifted toward the dock in the May 10 episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht . With the bow rubbing up against the dock, the deck crew sprung into action. Captain Glenn Shephard ultimately resolved that they needed to leave immediately.
But after unplugging the shore power, the yacht's generators didn't start up automatically, leaving the ship with no power at all. And all of this was happening when chief engineer Colin MacRae was off the boat.
Luckily, first mate Gary King was able to start up the generator again. And the deck team successfully pulled up the anchors that had been dragging so the Parsifal III could smoothly get moving.
When Captain Glenn assessed the damage to the bow, he was actually relieved. "It's a lot better than I was imagining," he told Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux on deck. "It ain't pretty, but it could have been way worse, man."
Unfortunately, things did get worse for the Parsifal III crew in the May 17 episode . Later while coming into port, the yacht kept moving back toward the dock as Captain Glenn tried to propel it forward. With something apparently wrong with the engine, the Parsifal III ended up crashing into the dock.
During an exclusive interview with Bravo Insider before this season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht premiered, Captain Glenn said that "a combination of things" caused the accident. "The boat didn’t react in the way it normally reacts. I was using a different maneuver mode. And there’s a computer in between the throttles and the propeller that adjusts the load on the engine," he explained. "Maybe my inputs were too much for the computer and it kind of, I don’t know, froze or didn’t react in the right way. I’m not really 100 percent sure. But I was pushing ahead and it was still moving backwards, which is not normal."
He also emphasized the complexity and rarity of the situation. "It’s complicated. But we have a kind of a malfunction. I’m responsible for whatever happens, and I ended up in a situation where I kind of lost control of the boat a little bit because it wasn’t responding in the way it normally responds," Captain Glenn said. "I’ve parked the boat, I don’t know how many times, probably over 100 times, and in more challenging situations. On this one, a couple things just went wrong. That’s never happened before."
Captain Glenn described this moment as "kind of a low point in my career." "It was caught on film. And so now everyone’s gonna see it, all my buddies are gonna see it," he said. "But yeah, those things do happen. You get maybe one or two of those in a career. And then if you keep doing that, you’re not gonna be driving boats."
Captain Glenn and the deck crew weren't the only ones feeling the intensity during the crash. "It was very, very scary," second stew Dani Soares recalled during a separate interview with Bravo Insider. "The whole boat felt it. And we were just really, really worried. We were worried about the deck crew, because they were out there trying to, you know, deal with lines and stuff like that. We were worried about Glenn, 'cause obviously he got so upset about it. And we were worried that maybe if that door didn't open, the back door of the boat after the crash, we probably wouldn't be able to continue with the season either. So [we were] worried about everything."
As Dani noted, after the crash, there was great concern that the platform door wouldn't open due to all of the damage to the transom. "It's where all the toys are. It's how the people get on and off the boat when they're swimming," Colin explained during the episode. "If we can't get this door to open, our charter season's over. Everyone can go home. We're just done."
The platform door still operated normally thanks to sheer luck, according to Captain Glenn. "The point of the transom is the perfect height to hit some big blocks of concrete and slice underneath them and just lift them up," he said during the episode. "We got a lucky break."
Waiting to find out the fate of the boat — and, in turn, the charter season — was not only nerve-racking for the crew but also for those behind the scenes, as executive producer Jill Goslicky explained to Bravo Insider. "It’s one of the most gut-wrenching things I’ve seen on the show. Every time I watch the footage, it actually makes me have a physical reaction to it that’s nauseating. It’s hard to watch," she said of the dock crash. "The first thing, A, is everyone OK? Everyone’s OK. OK, B, does the boat still operate? And for about two hours, we weren’t sure. I’m not kidding, it’s a miracle season. The winds blew in the right direction just when we needed them to, and I can’t believe we’re here posting it."
What was also surprising for production was to see the usually calm, cool, and collected Captain Glenn shouting expletives after the yacht hit the dock. That was "so telling," according to Matt Reichman, Vice President of Current Production at Bravo, who described Captain Glenn as "one of the most zen-like authority figures" in all of Below Deck . "He’s not the parent that yells and gets mad; he’s the one that gets disappointed. And it sort of like cuts to your soul if you disappoint Glenn," he told Bravo Insider. "And you don’t see him get upset often. And you’re gonna see it this season. It resonates."
Goslicky added that Captain Glenn's reaction exemplifies how he approaches problems on board. "It’s like, this is what he cares about," Goslicky said. "This is why he doesn’t sweat the small stuff; he’s saving it for the big stuff."
Captain Glenn told Bravo Insider that he felt like the severity of the situation warranted that kind of reaction. "Hitting the dock like that can end the season. People can get injured. It’s big ramifications. It was something that was completely unexpected. And yeah, of course it’s really bad. And at the moment that I’m reacting I don’t know how bad it is because I’m at least 30 meters, like 100 feet, away from that transom, and I can’t see it. You know, I’m relying on people telling me distances and stuff. So when we hit, I feel it, but I don’t know how bad it is," he said. "So I’m reacting, and yeah, I’m quite upset. I’m a sailor, and I swear sometimes. I lose my composure if something really serious happens. And that was pretty serious."
Anybody in his shoes probably would have responded the same way, according to Captain Glenn. "I mean, if you smashed your car against a wall and did serious damage to your car, you’d probably be quite upset, too," he said. "People, I think, will be able to relate to it. I try not to get like that, but occasionally things get the better of me."
Captain Glenn said that he is just glad that they were able to continue on with the charter season with relatively little damage. "Look, it could have been a lot worse than it was," he shared. "Could easily have been a lot worse than it was."

It has been one heck of a season for the Below Deck Sailing Yacht crew, thanks to Covid-19 restrictions, and a costly boat crash is also now coming to light. The incident, which occurred in season 2, resulted in $20,000 worth of damage to the yacht and one angry Captain Glenn.
Bravo and Sailing Yacht fans have been teased all season regarding a mighty crash that is set to happen. The film crew can be seen scurrying to catch the impact of the boat against the concrete pier and the charter guests' response . The crew was not only worried about the damage to the boat, but also about the concrete structure. Viewers thought the only drama they would see would be aboard the boat in the crew's quarters, but it seemed the Parsifal III yacht wanted some screentime of its own.

Captain Glenn took some time to cool down and chat with fans on Reddit, which is where he revealed that the boat collision cost $20,000 to repair. The seaworthy captain also revealed that the Bravo production crew got a break in the actual price, so it ended up not being as pricey as it usually would have been. He said they were "lucky" the paint company owed them a respray.
The captain shared an inside look with fans, saying that a repair like that could have easily cost the owner between $10,000 and $20,000. Fans are aware the damage could have been a lot worse, but Captain Glenn made sure to let nautical lovers know that the boats are always "well insured." Even though Captain Glenn was at the helm, he revealed he felt embarrassed that the incident occurred, but was happy no one was injured.
The boat already needed a new paint job after last week's ding, where the small vessel lost paint after it broke down. Crew and fans had never seen the captain so angry, and cameras caught him storming off amid using curse words. Mechanical issues have always haunted the captains of the franchises, and Glenn was no exception. But like the pro he is, the captain stands by and takes full blame for the incident. Fans are looking forward to a bit of smooth sailing on the next episode.
