Below Deck Mediterranean most recently but also worked aboard Below Deck Down Under's superyachts, is one of the most recognizable names in the franchise, but she's been up to a lot since her last charter season. Aesha's been a long-time fan favorite for Below Deck viewers, who enjoy her straight forward attitude and quirky sense of humor. While Aesha started out on Below Deck Mediterranean, she moved over to Below Deck Down Under in subsequent years to cut her teeth with Captain Jason Chambers as his exciting Chief Stew when the new show began.

Aesha became more well-known in the Below Deck franchise after her appearance on Below Deck Down Under, where she returned for a second season quickly after the first. Her working relationship with Captain Jason was a sight to behold, as she was able to work through issues with him quickly and efficiently, and the pair had a rapport that rivaled some of the best in the franchise. After leaving Below Deck Down Under, she decided to make the leap back to Below Deck Mediterranean with Captain Sandy Yawn, becoming the Chief Stew for the most recent season and endearing viewers.

Aesha's too much of a fan-favorite to let go of.

Aesha Went Back To Her Below Deck Mediterranean Roots

She Reed The Show As Chief Stew

Although Aesha did a great job on board with Captain Jason during Below Deck Down Under's first two seasons, when the show wasn't immediately renewed for another season, she chose to make a big move. Coming back to Below Deck Mediterranean, Aesha decided to make herself available for the show she'd started out on. Working under Captain Jason had been a great start, but working with Captain Sandy again seemed like it could help round out Aesha's skills as a Chief Stew. While she was excited about Below Deck Down Under continuing, she felt she could do more on Med.

As a part of the Below Deck Mediterranean crew, Aesha got to be a high-level manager on a short-staffed crew. Working hard to make sure that she was managing her staff well, she struggled with the fact that there were two stews along with her rather than the standard three on a vessel the size of Mustique because of a lack of crew cabins. As she moved through Below Deck Mediterranean season 9, Aesha had her skills tested over and over as her stews, Bri Muller and Elena Dubaich, struggled to get along throughout the charter season, stirring up drama.

Aesha Is Engaged

Are Kids In Aesha's Future?

Throughout her time within the Below Deck franchise, Aesha has introduced the world to her partner, Scotty Dobson. While Scott isn't a yachtie in his own right, he's someone that's meant a lot to Aesha through the years and has made her happy as she's gone through tough times on Below Deck. While her relationship with Scott has to be long-distance at times due to the nature of her work in the industry, she's found a lot of ways to incorporate into her life at sea, and it's clear that Scott understands the lifestyle that Aesha's been living for years.

Scott has always been respectful of Aesha's job, and though it's clear that they're pursuing more projects as a pair, the couple have also been open about what their next steps may be. As they've shared more about their lives online, Aesha has revealed that she and her now-fiancé have moved through renovation projects together, taken on new business ventures, and put themselves into uncomfortable situations to make their future a priority. Having been through a whirlwind romance, the couple has been doing what they can to plant roots for their future, even floating the idea of kids someday soon.

Aesha & Scott Are Competing In The Amazing Race Australia

She's Fulfilling A Lifelong Dream

Aesha revealed that she's currently taking on a life-long dream with Scott by competing on The Amazing Race Australia together in an season. While the couple haven't shared much about the experience, it's clear the pair are excited to be taking on a challenge together that combines Aesha's flair for reality TV and their shared love of traveling. Scott and Aesha's love story started with a two-week US roadtrip, with the pair having only met earlier in their lives before reconnecting on Instagram. While that could scare some couples away from each other, it brought Scott and Aesha together.

While the couple likely do a bit less traveling now than they have in the past because of Aesha's busy schedule, their time together on The Amazing Race Australia will be an exciting one. Aesha explained that she's wanted to run the race for years, and hopes that the experience with Scott by her side will be even better. Aesha could be hoping to break into the Australian reality TV market with her appearance, which could allow her to find a way to stay closer to home while filming shows in her neck of the woods, leaving Below Deck behind.

Will Aesha Return To The Below Deck Franchise?

She's Set To Come Back For Below Deck Med Season 10

Although Aesha's appearances on future seasons of Below Deck Mediterranean or other spin-offs isn't guaranteed, it's been reported that she'll be returning for Below Deck Mediterranean season 10. Though Aesha may be moving on, Below Deck Med season 10 was filmed in 2024, and could be coming out later in 2025. Typically, Below Deck seasons film quite far ahead of when they release, so this would track for Aesha if she's actually returning to the next season of the series. Her next appearance on the show could be her last one, despite what viewers are hoping for in coming seasons.

Aesha appears to be coming back for the next season of Below Deck Mediterranean, but after that it's a mixed bag on whether she'll be back at all. Though it's possible Aesha could return to Below Deck Mediterranean again in the future, it seems more likely she would come back to Below Deck Down Under, or if possible, a whole new Below Deck series. The franchise could be expanding, and in doing so, could have a new place for Aesha to see if she's interested in. While nothing is confirmed, Aesha's too much of a fan-favorite to let go of.
