The trailer for Below Deck season 11 has arrived, and the season has a cast of fresh and returning faces, including a new captain. The cast of the new season was announced at BravoCon 2023 along with a trailer for the new season, which will premiere on February 5, 2024. Some returning faces included Chief Stew Fraser Olender and Deckhand Ben Willoughby; however, the most shocking familiar face is Captain Kerry Titheradge. Captain Kerry was introduced to the franchise when he ed Below Deck Adventure season 1 as the captain. This was surprising since the series has had another captain since the first season, Captain Lee Rosbach.

During the introduction of Captain Lee had left Below Deck. Lee has suffered for several seasons from various medical conditions, and it's finally time for him to hang up his captain's hat. While he's sad to leave the show behind, the show is in good hands with Captain Kerry. He has experience both as a captain and as a cast member on a Below Deck series. While this does leave some questions about Below Deck Adventure unanswered, many are excited about Below Deck season 11 and its cast.

Captain Kerry Titheradge

Viewers will Captain Kerry from Below Deck Adventure season 1. According to Captain Kerry as his replacement.

Fraser Olender

Fraser was first introduced to the cast when he ed Below Deck season 9 as a regular stew. He did a great job during his first season as Fraser was asked to return to Below Deck season 10 as the chief stew. Fraser was beloved as the head of the interior and is now returning for season 11 as the chief stew again. Fraser had some issues in his interior team with Second Stew Alissa Humber and Stew/Deckhand Camille Lamb but made some hard decisions in order to make his team the best. There is no doubt that Fraser will do just as well in his role this season as he did last season.

Chef Anthony Iracane

Chef Anthony Iracane is new to the Below Deck franchise but not to his role as a chef. Anthony was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and has worked in the yachting industry for over four years now. There wasn't much to see from Anthony in the Below Deck season 11 trailer, but one thing is for sure: viewers will get to see some of the amazing dishes he whips up for the charter guests.

Ben Willoughby

Another returning face to the series is Ben as the lead deckhand. Viewers may Ben for his boatmance with Camille last season. The two were inseparable, with Ben even crying when Camille was fired and had to leave the boat. Even though Ben was caught up in a pretty serious romance, he still managed to impress Captain Lee with his skills on deck. Hopefully, he'll be able to impress Captain Kerry just as much.

Cat Baugh

Cat Baugh is one of the new stewards ing the Below Deck season 11 crew. She will be working alongside Fraser and the other stews on board the St. David yacht. According to Cat's Bravo bio, she was born in Orange County in Southern California. She has five years of experience in the yachting industry but seems to have more experience on private yachts in Newport Beach, as she was surprised by the size of the St. David. Cat seems like a great addition to the team, and hopefully, she'll get along with her interior crew.

Barbie Pascual

Barbie Pascual is another stew ing the boat alongside Fraser and Cat. The new stew is originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and has been working in the yachting industry for six years now. It's evident that Barbie is a professional in her field by what was shown in the trailer. It also showed Barbie speaking Spanish during one of her confessionals, so Barbie will for sure be a spitfire this season.

Xandi Olivier

Xandi Oliviier is another stew ing the team along with Frasier, Cat, and Barbie. Xandi is from Pretoria, South Africa, and has been working in the yachting industry for over five years. In her BravoTV bio, she said that in February 2024, it will be her sixth anniversary in the industry. Not much was shown of Xandi in the trailer as well, except for a cute moment between her and Fraser. It seems he touched one of her crystals, and she claimed he was throwing off her "aura."

Kyle Stillie

Kyle Stillie is another deckhand ing Below Deck season 11 alongside Ben. Kyle is from Selkirk, Scottish Borders, Scotland, and is new to the industry as he's only been in yachting for a year. Kyle is green right now, but he will get a lot of experience working with the crew and Captain Kerry this season.

Marie "Sunny" Marquis

Marie "Sunny" Marquis will be working alongside Ben and Kyle on deck as the only female deckhand this season. Marie is from St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, Canada, and is also new to yachting as she's only been in the industry for a year and a half. Judging from the trailer, Marie looks like an interesting character and will likely be another great addition to the Below Deck season 11 crew.

Bosun Jared Woodin

Lastly, a new bosun has been added to the mix, with Jared Woodin taking on the role. He will be working alongside Ben, Kyle, and Marie, rounding out the deck team. In the trailer, Ben immediately has problems with Jared, even calling him "dumb" at one point. Jared also had issues with calling out distances in the trailer as he's used to working in feet and not meters. So far, while Jared's future on Below Deck season 11 seems unclear, this season does look like a must-watch.

Below Deck season 11 premiered on February 5, 2024, at 9 p.m. EST on Bravo.
