Why cj left below deck

Captain Lee is still working as a megayacht captain on Below Deck. Lee is also very close with several crew members from the series, including his former Honor deckhand, Eddie Lucas.

When Aleks originally joined season one, he was hired as the captain of Honor. However, the boat's owner didn't feel comfortable with him, and Lee stepped in to take his place. Aleks was still working on yachts in , but he now works as a captain via Vulture.

Now, Ben resides in Florida with his new girlfriend, Kiara Cabral, and no longer works as a chef on boats. Instead, Ben is now a private chef , and he even has his own catering business. Even though Adrienne was a one-season wonder on Below Deck , the chief stew is still often remembered for taking her job way too seriously. Since leaving the show, Adrienne has continued to work as a chief stew on yachts and still enjoys the works.

However, she has gone through a few life changes that include getting married to her long-time boyfriend, Andrew, in She also still keeps up with the show and even claimed that Kiko's firing on Below Deck Med was pre-planned by producers via Men's Health. The Below Deck alum got on the wrong side of the law on another occasion just a few months prior, when he had a marijuana-related arrest.

According to his IMDb page, he hasn't starred on another show since then. According to his LinkedIn page, he went on to pursue more conventional career opportunities afterward. Season 1 of Below Deck was filmed between September and October — and it's more than likely that he landed the role after he quit the show.

Distractify is a registered trademark. During a recent series reunion, Kat said she was pursuing nursing. During season 1, Sam mostly just hated her job and maybe Adrienne even more. It shouldn't come as a surprise that she's no longer a yachtie.

Thanks to some internet sleuthing, it appears she's an engineer now, and in July, she gave birth to her first child, Blake. A fan favorite throughout his time on the series, Eddie had it all—then he went and messed it all up after a season 3 affair with crew member, Rocky. Things got rocky with his then-girlfriend and they later broke up. He's now living back in Maryland and working in the less cushy industry of tugboats.

And don't worry, Eddie hasn't disappeared from our screens forever. He'll appear as the bosun once more during the upcoming season of Below Deck. We all know what happened to second engineer, C.

Around the time the season first aired, he made headlines after getting arrested for assaulting his girlfriend. He doesn't maintain any public social media accounts. David was our innocent crew member who managed to make it through the first season with little-to-no conflict. But she felt bullied and locked herself in her cabin while Chastain and second stew Josiah Carter blasted music outside her door. She left the boat in tears.

Finally, deckhand Abbi Murphy quit during season 7. She also got engaged to her boyfriend while on the boat so she left to get married.

Other than the original series, Below Deck Sailing Yacht had one person quit during season 1. Parker McCown knew he was on shaky ground and decided to depart.
