Only that’s not fair or true.
And most of the time, the chef understands.
Captain Sandy is out there for herself and lacks awareness of her hypocrisy.

And like her previous charter seasons, it’s her rules.
Which are, and have never been, consistent.
Each episode highlights the high-octane world of yachting where exceptional service standards meet personal drama and adventure.
In a luxury charter yacht traveling across the Mediterranean, crew members face both the challenges of managing upscale guest expectations and the complexities of their own interrelationships. Each episode highlights the high-octane world of yachting where exceptional service standards meet personal drama and adventure.
It’s late night and the kids want to party andhave unshockingly gotten the munchies.
They’re demanding nachos and grilled cheese, among other things.
Messy, greasy snacks to soak up the booze.
But you’re the only stewardess up at this hour.
They’re already demanding endless beverages and now, they want you to make them food.
They’re already complaining about the slow service behind your back.
Plus, you’re not a professional chef who can whip up something special for this five-star demanding group.
So, what do you do?
You call in the reinforcements and ask the chef to assist.
The charter guests started to whine when they didnt get their wine!
Who’s at fault?
Chef Tom didn’t come on board in the best frame of mind and was easily irritated.
During one of the charters, Chef Tom was awoken from a nap to slice cucumbers.
Yes, slice cucumbers.
But who was the person to wake him up?
None other than Captain Sandy.
So what happened between those four seasons?
Did the rules change or does Captain Sandy simply have a fascination with asserting her authority?
Her micromanaging techniques have found her undermining her crew in situations that other captains throughoutBelow Decknever do.
Especially that gigantic water slide.
So this incident with Ellie and Chef Jono was perplexing.
Captain Sandy’s long tenure on the program has come with a mixed reception.
Some fans enjoy her desire to be seen on camera more than any other captain ever does.
Others have had it with her and believe she’s the source of a lot of unnecessary drama.
Like Captain Sandy does, she was trigger-happy about firing Captain Lee’s crew without consultation.
Yet another power move.
At the end of the day, it is Captain Sandy’s ship to run it as she wants.
But her management skill and interpersonal relationship tactics seem to shift on a dime, season after season.
Her disdain for certain individuals she deems below her becomes evident in how she treats them.
When she sees another female deckhand aspiring to be a ship captain, she takes them under her wing.
And then thinks they immediately become buddies.
Yes, in any industry, every person in a management position can have a different management style.
And yes, you could change your ways as you learn and grow.
