Are Below Deck boatmances real or staged?

The Below Deck franchise features multiple boatmances, and a cast member from Season 11 has confirmed the authenticity of these relationships.

In the Below Deck franchise, numerous boatmances develop between the yachties, leaving viewers to question whether the relationships are fabricated or if the show is scripted.

Despite causing drama on Below Deck Sailing Yacht, Daisy Kelliher found herself caught in a love triangle with Gary King and Colin Macrae.

During Below Deck Season 11, Ben Willoughby had a short-lived romance with Sunny Marquis and in the previous season, he was in a relationship with Camille Lamb.

In a Q&A hosted by Ben on his Instagram account on April 16, a fan inquired, “Are the romantic relationships portrayed on the show genuine or orchestrated by production?”The Bosun replied, “They are real.”

Despite numerous claims of scripted content in reality shows, Below Deck stands out for its incorporation of genuine yacht crew members and paying charter guests.

Given the close living and working quarters of the crew on the show, it is inevitable that there will be at least one boatmance every season on Below Deck.

While the boatmances may not always continue after the charter season ends, they are truly authentic and not fabricated for the purpose of being filmed for a reality show.

Bravo airs Below Deck on Mondays at 9:00 p.m. ET.
