Captain Sandy Yawn and both new and returning crew are back for Below Deck Mediterranean season 8 featuring more drama than ever. The Below Deck spinoff centers around a group of yachties who work on a luxury yacht traveling to pristine locations in the Mediterranean. For many seasons now, the show has always delivered with its demanding charter guests, breathtaking locations, and intense arguments between the crew.

Captain Sandy once again runs a tight ship, threatening one crew member by saying, "Your screaming, your lack of respect, I won't tolerate it. I don't want a person like you on board."

Second stews Natalya Scudder and Kyle Viljoen from Below Deck Mediterranean season 7 are working under Captain Sandy for another season. Below Deck Down Under star Tumi Mhlongo makes her debut crossing over to another franchise spinoff as Chief Stew, as well as deckhand Luka Brunton. Chef Jack Luby and Bosun Ruan Irving the cast, along with deckhands Haleigh Gorman and Lara Du Preez, with stew Jessika Asai rounding out the interior crew.

Natalya Scolds Below Deck Down Under’s Tumi For Having The “Worst Attitude”

Below Deck Med's Natalya

In the Below Deck Mediterranean season 8 trailer, Natalya and Chief Stew Tumi get into heated arguments throughout the charter season. Tumi blasts Natalya's organization skills, calling it a "sh*t show," while Natalya replies, "Don't do this with me." Tumi also says to Natalya, "You have been attacking me since day one," to where the second stew claps back, "You stepped on board with the worst attitude." The Chief Stew reminds her fellow crew member that it's her first time in the position saying, "I have never come across a crew this crazy and I don't think I ever will."

Below Deck Mediterranean has been on the air for a while, and has a long history of dramatic moments on the show. In previous seasons, former crew like Chief Stew Hannah Ferrier was fired for bringing Valium on board, which is against maritime laws. Chef Mila Kolomeitseva was also let go from the boat on Below Deck Mediterranean season 4 for making dishes that weren't up to the standards of a luxury yacht.

On Below Deck Mediterranean, fresh new yachties are welcomed each season to shake things up. However, the crew who have appeared on the show together before like Natalya and Kyle will further explore their relationship as co-workers this season. With all the drama surrounding Below Deck Mediterranean season 8, it's certain to be a season that's worth the watch.

Below Deck Mediterranean premieres on Monday, September 25 at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo.
