Captain Sandy Yawn on Celebs ‘Blacklisted’ From Luxury Yachts
Content warning: This article contains brief mention of sexual assault.
Captain Sandy Yawn has seen her fair share of scraps, both on and off Below Deck Mediterranean. Luckily, she has yet to encounter a situation where a guest put a crew member in danger.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case for a recent charter boat that hosted Diddy’s son, Christian “King” Combs. A yacht worker recently accused the rapper’s son of sexual assault.
With this event in the zeitgeist, one news outlet wondered what the Captain’s responsibility was in cases of guest-on-crew violence.
Captain Sandy’s reflections on guest misbehavior
Captain Sandy recently sat down for an interview with NewsNation. Sandy came on to discuss what to do when things got out of hand on a yacht. The news of Diddy’s son prompted the conversation. “The Captain’s primary job is the safety of the crew and the guests,” Sandy shared. “In any case that I feel like my crew are threatened, immediately, we can end the charter.”
From there, the boat would head back to the dock and the crew would contact the authorities. After that, an investigation would follow. However, Sandy said she never experienced such a scenario personally. In her experience, situations between crew members were more likely than situations between a crewmate and an employee.
The reporter then wondered what might happen if a situation escalated while out on the water. “We just throw them overboard,” Sandy joked. “We haven’t experienced that,” she said again. She reemphasized that dangerous situations were “Rare. Most clients are really respectful of the crew.”
She continued, “You know, there’s a lot of guests that are blacklisted.” She revealed that captains and brokers talk with each other about guests. “There’s a lot of celebrities that we do not charter to. Because they trash the boat, they’re rude to the crew, and they’re blacklisted.” Of course, Sandy could not reveal which celebrities specifically the yachts blacklisted.
