Below Deck has delivered yet another unforgettable season as Captain Kerry Titheradge and his crew sail around the beautiful Sint Maarten aboard the St. David. So far, the season has seen a chef quit and be replaced by a familiar face, a bosun fired, a pathetic tip after a wild, five-day charter, and plenty of steamy hookups between these crew members.

A midseason trailer for Season 12 of the reality TV show aired after Episode 7, and the show promises that the drama is not over. In fact, there is still a lot more to come, including Captain Kerry calling police on disrespectful charter guests, and a rumored hook up between a deckhand and guest.

Captain Kerry Titheradge Calls Maritime Police On Below Deck Season 12

Below Deck Season 12 just dropped its midseason trailer and it’s clear the drama aboard the St. David is far from over. The sneak peek, which aired after Episode 7, teases major turbulence ahead, not just between the crew, but with the guests themselves.

In what might go down as a franchise first, the trailer hints at the most unruly and disrespectful group of charter guests in Below Deck history. In the short, two-minute clip, things escalate so drastically that Captain Kerry Titheradge is shown taking the extraordinary step of contacting maritime police.

In the clip, Captain Kerry is seen telling a female charter guest, “You’ve had a lot to drink. I’m worried about your safety.” We then see what appears to be the same woman refusing to wear a life jacket before jumping into the waters and swimming away from deckhand Jess Theron. “Okay, we’re going to play that game, aren’t we?” Kerry is seen after she jumped in. Back on the St. David a number of crew members are seen holding her so that she doesn’t do anything she might regret.

Kerry is then seen contacting the police, where he shares:

The clip then shows the unruly guests’ friends trying to calm her down, but she is heard shouting, “I f****** hate everybody.” That’s when we see the maritime police show up, and they are definitely not messing around. Fans will recall that the trailer for Season 12 saw Kerry speaking to these same guests and sternly telling them, “There’s one authority on this boat, and it’s me. I’m not f****** around.”

Steamy Hookups Continue On Below Deck Season 12

It wouldn’t be Below Deck without some steamy crew hookups, but this season takes boatmances to a whole new level. In what seems like another first for this Bravo franchise, multiple cast members are entangled in overlapping flings, creating a very tangled web of flirtation between everyone, quite frankly.

Fans first saw deckhand Kyle Stillie strike up a connection with stewardess Solène Favreau, but he was taken aback when she began hooking up with another deckhand, Jess Theron, during a crew night out, in Episode 6. Kyle was feeling “f****** pissed off” at what occurred because he faced a similar pattern of relationship mistakes last season with Barbie Pascual.

In a confessional, he shared, “With Solene, she’s entitled to her own prerogative, but nobody likes getting rejected. It’s not– It’s not a nice thing. I mean, I maybe don’t help because I don’t speak how I feel to people. I’m very much, I let people do what they want to do. And I did this last year with Barbie. I’m just a bit of a f***** sap. Yeah, I just feel a bit stupid. I feel really stupid.”

In the meantime, Solène appeared to be confused by how she was feeling in her very sticky situation. “It’s a triangle between Scottish, Jess, and Solène. But I really hope I don’t have to choose.”

However, in the midseason trailer, we don’t only see Kyle, Solène, and Jess caught up in a love triangle. Let’s just say that this crew is in a love hexagon. Attending a carnival off the boat, Solène is seen making out with deckhand Damo Yorg, while Jess and Bárbara Kulaif are also seen in an entanglement.

“There is just so much going on. It’s like a sensory overload,” Fraser shares.

Did Kyle Stillie Sleep With A Charter Guest?

One of the most explosive storylines of the season centers around returning deckhand Kyle and whether he crossed a serious line with a charter guest. In the clip, Kyle is seen following a guest, who takes her top off, into the ocean and holding her, with stew Rainbeau de Roos watching it all unfold and stating that Kyle was “getting cozy.”

Later, we see Kyle in the bridge with Kerry who doesn’t hold back and states, “The crew think you banged a charter guest.” Kyle responds, “I’ve said things that suggest that something did happen.” Clips are then shown of Kyle admitting that he “f****” someone, with Kerry sharing, “If he did it, he deserves to leave the vessel.”

When Kyle gets asked by a producer in a confessional if he did hook up with a charter guest, he doesn’t exactly confirm or deny it. “Was it a joke or…?” Kyle says with a smile.

If Kyle did cross that line, it would be a major breach of protocol with one of the biggest rules in the yachting industry is that crew members must never become romantically or physically involved with the guests. It would lead to immediate termination, and Kerry would have no problem kicking Kyle off the vessel. Fans have witnessed crew members interacting with the guests and even seen a hook-up or two, but that was off the boat and once these guests were no longer part of the charter.
