Below Deck

- Season 3

(2015)

Captain Lee, Kate, Eddie, and Amy are joined by five new crewmembers as they prepare the luxury yacht, Eros, for a new charter season in Abaco, Bahamas. New personalities bring new challenges as the crew welcomes their first charter guests, a hard-partying hotel owner and his friends. With inclement weather ahead, the crew must keep an on-boat 'foam party' planned for the charter guests from turning into a wash.

Rocky and Emile are disciplined for their dangerous stunt. Connie gets some terrible news that leaves her future on the boat in jeopardy. Kate soon realizes that there might be too many cooks in the kitchen after her and Chef Leon disagree over the charter guests' final dinner.

The return of Kate's charter guest soulmate from last season, Dean, keeps the "Eros" crew on their toes and forces Kate to up her towel-art game. After a pep talk from her Dad, Rocky tries to keep going with her mundane stew tasks while Don tries to make amends with Eddie, but ends up butting heads with his fellow "deckies" instead. The heat in the kitchen flares up when Kate questions chef Leon's credentials as a yacht chef after he is unable to prepare a traditional Bahamian meal for the guests. After catching an eyeful of Rocky in her thong swimsuit, Don decides to...

In spite of being a man down with Don's departure, Eddie and the rest of the deckhands feel relieved and stronger than ever. When primary guest Dean suggests a crew dive contest, the "Eros" team willingly obliges and Rocky breaks out her beloved mermaid tail to lure Dean and his guests into the sea. Meanwhile, Kate continues to question Leon's yachtie credentials after he tells her he's worked on a cruise liner. Eddie, on the other hand, has trouble at home and begins to realize that holding a long-distance relationship while working on a yacht can be challenging. As ...

After their less-than-stellar date, Rocky relegates Emile to the friend zone, and he's not having any of it. Meanwhile, Kate fails to provision a special bottle of tequila for the new charter guests, and it could spell disaster for the tip if she can't find it in time. A new deckhand arrives and the ladies of "Eros" all are too happy to have some new eye-candy. Searching for motivation, Rocky finds it in the way of a musical she writes in the laundry room. Eddie's girlfriend issues are distracting him from his deckie duties, putting him on thin ice with Captain Lee. ...

Connie and Rocky's whipped cream bikini party leaves a big mess on "Eros." Eddie's long-distance relationship is on the rocks, and his problems are compounded when Dane and the other "deckies" make a series of stupid mistakes. The charter guests, a group of former sorority sisters escaping their husbands and kids, keep the crew hustling as they relive some college hijinks. Rocky finally gets in the galley to make dinner, and the reviews aren't great. Meanwhile, Emile gets a discouraging letter from Rocky.

Emile is miffed when Rocky spells out the status of their relationship in a very public way. When the charter guests, a preppy brother and sister, request an elaborate multi-course tasting menu, Leon's failure to order provisions in time puts the meal, and the crew's tip, in jeopardy. Meanwhile, Dane's professional and personal issues cause his crewmates to become very alarmed. A sudden freak storm creates chaos for the crew and the guests, but the storm brewing between Kate and Leon could be the real disaster. Eddie sends Rocky a very provocative text.

The "Eros" crew enjoys a day off with an island hideaway, but Dane's drunken behavior leads to a confrontation with Eddie that puts Dane's future on the boat in jeopardy. When the charter guests, the fit and attractive founders of a multi-million dollar apparel company, challenge Leon on his meal choices, he has to make a quick fix for the sake of the crew's tip. After witnessing Kate's failed attempts to smooth things out with the temperamental Leon, Captain Lee issues the crew a stern warning. Meanwhile, Eddie's proposition to Rocky leads to a secret rendezvous.

The stews are excited to welcome aboard a family of gorgeous charter guests, to celebrate their dad's 50th birthday. Leon commits a big faux pas by ignoring a guest's request to refrain from serving rabbit for dinner. Connie's deckhand skills impress Eddie and Captain Lee, but Emile is feeling underappreciated. Eddie begins to question his closeness with Rocky, but there's more at risk than personal relationships when a fire breaks out in the galley putting the whole boat in danger.

Captain Lee grills the crew as he tries to find out the cause of the galley fire and the inquiry leads to a contentious dismissal. In a fit of rebellion against Lee's decision, Rocky takes a dramatic, unauthorized dive off the boat leaving her crew-mates shorthanded and angry. With Captain Lee at his wit's end due to the ongoing chaos on the boat, his crew have to band together to create a special 50th birthday celebration for their charter guest, but an angry blow-up between Kate and Rocky could spoil the party. Meanwhile, A familiar face stirs things up when he ...

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta's" Cynthia Bailey and Claudia Jordan, along with family and friends board the "Eros" to celebrate Cynthia's birthday, but bad weather keeps them stuck at the dock where the crew must work extra hard to pamper their charter guests. Veteran deckhand Dave joins the boat, but his fellow "deckie" Emile proves to be the guests' favorite eye candy, and the ladies demand his constant attention. Chef Ben's return complicates his relationship with Kate, which quickly affects the rest of the crew dynamic. Meanwhile, Rocky is confused and hurt when...

Frustrations mount for Rocky over her job and Eddie. Meanwhile, Ben wows charter guests with a steakhouse-style dinner, yet his breakfast dishes fail to measure up, and Rocky divulges details about a secret affair.
